“The set includes a charming farm scene with a vehicle, simple yet creative brick-built animals like sheep, a red cow, and a horse, alongside Maxi figures for added playability. Its nostalgic design, Minecraft-esque animals, and retro catalog make it a standout piece for vintage LEGO enthusiasts.”
 

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.
