This item was released in 1985. It is now discontinued. All parts are present (checked using data from "ToysPeriod.com"). (181 pieces) This is likely a LEGO toy for beginners. As shown on the cover of the instruction manual (photo 2), you can build things other than houses, and you can enjoy experimenting with different creations, which I think will be a great way to expand your LEGO world. The instruction manual is included. The box is not included. There is some fading due to age, but it is in good condition. Please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to the condition, as this item has been stored by a private individual. Please consider purchasing if you understand.
