BrickEconomy Member Review

“The LEGO Homemaker Television Room (Set 278) from 1978 is a delightful vintage set that captures a slice of retro life with its maxi-figure and charming build. The color TV, complete with a sticker screen, adds nostalgic flair, while the detailed elements like the flower-topped end table and cozy chair highlight LEGO's classic design. It's a quirky, small set that brings back the charm of LEGO's early years.”
