“Set 196 offers a charming blend of vintage style and creativity with its 115 pieces and Maxi Figures. The main model, an antique car, is complemented by several alternate vintage vehicle builds like a sports car, carriage, and airplane. Despite its small piece count, it delivers a satisfying and nostalgic building experience, making it a delightful find for LEGO collectors.”
 

About Building Set with People

Building Set with People ran from 1974 to 1980 with a majority of the sets released around 1977 and was a subtheme of the Homemaker brand designed to appeal primarily to girls. Most of the sets contained Homemaker Figures, also known as Maxi-Figs or Maxifigures, and the sets were about building items such as vehicles and room settings like a hospital, school classroom, a beauty salon or nursery for the figures and centered on domestic and suburban life-based settings. Building Set with People sets are typically vintage LEGO and such are very hard to come by in new and sealed packages.
