Parts are packed in 6 numbered bags which I always appreciate. The Flintstones definitely has that nostalgia factor since I grew up in the 80’s.

Like Big-Bang Theory has ALL the characters, this one should've at least added in Dino. The box is an odd size for a Ideas set, and at 11cm is much deeper than usual. I love the way the house hinges out, and the redesign of the car and plant is great - much less busy and clunky than the original, while still keeping the fun character of the idea.

Perhaps they'll see life in an accessory pack.I am especially pleased to see the Fred Flintstone minifig as my father bears a striking resemblance (much to his chagrin) to the original character, and I believe the minifig maintains the resemblance enough that I can present it to him for his analysis/annoyance! Call me when they make an Adventure Time Treehouse, Jetson's Car, or Steven Universe's Crystal Temple. That's how the car is suppose to propel ... in the cartoon!

Something else of note… I think it's interesting to note how with the Saturn V (a $120 set with 11 new printed elements) a typical reaction was amazement at just how many new printed elements LEGO could introduce just for that set, even though a) that number is pretty unremarkable for a set that size, and b) the Big Bang Theory, Doctor Who, and Yellow Submarine sets had each included twice that number.By comparison, with this set, even with 16 new set-specific printed elements, fans are clamoring for two more figures and a dinosaur that would probably require at least 6 more printed elements, and probably several other new elements like recolors.Now, wishing those characters had been included isn't totally unreasonable, particularly if you'd be willing to pay more for this set if they had. After all, I remember a lot of criticism in the past of minifigures with cartoonish faces that defy the standard minifigure design language, whether it's in licensed themes (NBA, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Super Heroes Mighty Micros, Teen Titans GO!, etc) or non-licensed (like Time Cruisers and Exo-Force).I had gotten the sense that the transition to using regular minifig design standards for human or human-like characters in most cartoon-based themes (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Star Wars: Rebels, Disney/Pixar movies, Marvel cartoon series, etc) had been fairly well received among AFOLs. ; 9797 members have logged in in the last 24 hours, 21901 in the last 7 days, 36554 in the last month. Pity about the omissions, but at least the house and the car appear to have been improved quite a bit.In general I believe figures with molded heads a la Simpsons would have been better, but that might be just me.What I really miss is many of the subtle stone age details like the bones for curtain hangers etc.As it is the interior feels far less stone-age than in the original submission. The right-hand side has a chimney which has been clad in various shapes and sizes of round and curved tiles to give it a rock-built look. The LEGO® brick-built Flintstones car features 4 minifigure seats, 2 steamroller wheels, a new-for-March-2019 fabric car roof element, plus an attachable dinosaur rib. There are now 217911 members.

They really need to sort out the opacity of some of their printing - Betty’s top is another example of a need for improvement.That said the set looks good - I would never have expected something like this based on an ancient cartoon, and despite it’s flaws its nice to see variety added to Lego’s range. The car is great and I think better then the original. My mother is happy something like tbis was made, shame about Dino, the cat and the kids.

(For the 2nd mode, all minifigs are in sitting position, which then the two wheels support the car allowing the car to use the two wheels for kids to move it around like regular cars)This can be achieved by making the car's body 1L instead of 2L in height (this will make the car smaller as it might be too top heavy, but hey it 'sworth the change).
