　　Lego Ideas TreehouseThis will probably appeal to older Lego fans in your household, as this is a nostalgic celebration of high-rise timber from the Lego Ideas line. Inside the box, you'll find 3,036 pieces that can be used to construct a treehouse, and this attention-grabbing set has a few extra details as well. The plant and leaf elements are made from plant-based plastic, you can swap between autumn and summer foliage, and the cabins are packed with a wide range of extras.

　　The main bedroom cabin features a buildable bed and a hidden pair of scissors--a reference to the fan creator's day job as a hairdresser--a ship in a bottle, compass, clock, and a balcony. Additionally, there's a wind-up crane that can be constructed, the cabin rooftops detach easily, and the landscape base can be populated with a picnic table, swing, and bonfire. For the mini-figures, you get a full family of four and a bird figure that can be placed in the treehouse.
