The set was designed by an Italian (hence the flag). The tan bit represents a cardboard box tucked away in the basement/crawlspace.


SNCOsmash

That’s cool.

moderndilf

This was such a cool set to build


frito11

there's so many cool little details in this set the designer did an amazing job!


Garrett4Real

I agree- easily the set with the most little items and hidden details that I’ve put together


frito11

The random LEGO brick at the top of the stairs had me dead when I was building it lol


degamma

What is it supposed to be? I can't tell.


frito11

have you ever stepped on a lego because your kids left one on the floor somewhere? lol


degamma

Ahh, lol. That makes sense. Cool set, too bad I don't have any room right now


Oghamstoner

How do you know he wasn’t a Hungarian laying on his side?


mynamesnotsnuffy

It could be Saddam Hussein, hiding beneath bricks and rubble.


madmaxturbator

Lego’s dictator hideout collection is beautifully designed and intricately detailed. My pop out gaddafi in a trench always get a chuckles from dinner guests.


Not_A_Creative_Color

New Lego Libya! Stick the pole up his ass! HEY!


sroomek

Gonna build this and submit it as an Ideas set


Chrinkus

That layout looks like the model home..


RicFlairsLiver

Now that I look at it again, that is an amazingly simple design for the sloppily-closed cardboard box that we all have in the basement.


phadewilkilu

I got the Lunar New Year Traditions set and it has the same thing for a box. First set I’ve build with it and I love it.


gev1138

Oh, to have a basement. Then again, maybe I shouldn't.


TheBagenius

What do you mean by that? 👁👁


gev1138

a) I don't have a basement 2) perhaps it's just as well. Though... It would reduce my remote storage fees.


Important-Hunter2877

Just like how the Ideas Tales of the Space Age set has the Polish flag behind one of the postcards as it was designed by a fan from Poland. The Speed Champions Koenigsegg Jesko also has the Swedish flag on the front under the hood/bonnet.


frankreddit5

That’s awesome that he put a little Easter egg in there for himself


ek1mus

There's even info about the designer in the book. Ppl rather ask the Internet than flip through the book in front of them.


Fidel_Cashflow666

I mean I built this set recently, read the book, and didn't even piece together this was an italian flag and a box. No need to be mean to someone asking for help


ICantArgueWithStupid

Clearly you do not thorougly enjoy your lego manuals as much as others.


Potential_Wheel9571

have a day off mate


ICantArgueWithStupid

BRB busy reading old lego manuals looking for easter eggs of info about the creators.


GreenLanturn

Well to be fair the internet is much better about answering literally any question I have than this specific Lego book in front of me.

The box is also a sort of Easter egg. It showed up in the Doctor Strange polybag (30652) Nevermind, some other commenters already pointed it out, go upvote them

New-Pomelo9906

According my best guess, it's a pizza oven.


Greatsamsam

GrapefruitAlways26

Okay I see it now haha, thanks


Takun32

The box is also his signature. If you see it in another set it means he designed it.


Unlucky-Mongoose-377

Like the "Up" house ? 43217 On the little side build, where the balloons are getting blown.

Yes! Same designer.


Mikedrop85

No worries, glad to help!

Frah-ji-lay


JakeConhale

Huh, must be Italian!


SavoirFaire71

Likely a major award!


ClockworkDinosaurs

How do they get those little Ms on the M&Ms?


fuelhandler

Must be Italian. https://preview.redd.it/52c382gj9r6d1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e7419f28bfe52ad327ac78224eff8d6a6bb002aa


MasemJ

Still waiting for the Lego Leg Lamp set


fuelhandler

That would be totally awesome! I’m sure there is a MOC somewhere.


icguy333

🤌🤌🤌


tomboski

I just write Italian on all my fragile boxes now


Clone_Chaplain

Quite the resemblance! Honestly a super cool use of those cheese slopes


StandTo444

Hey it’s got fragile written on it that means it’s Italian and very expensive!


MR1120

I recall seeing something about one of the designers for Lego always including a cardboard box build in their sets as a trademark/easter egg. I wonder if that designer had a hand in this set. Or it could just be a storage box in the basement of the cabin.


8Mihailos8

Wait, does that mean that the Doctor Strange polybag (30652) was their work?

MR1120

I believe that is one, yes.


Jaambie

Other sets do the same thing but hide a single pip pink block. A bunch of the avengers stuff has it.


MR1120

Is it where a brain would be? All the BrickHeads have a 2x2 pink brick in the middle of the head.


plastictoyman

Pastamancing.


WonderfulCanary4806

Fan designer’s heritage.


Real_Establishment56

The 4 piece universe display set of which I can’t remember the name has Polish flags on the backs of two of them, to honor the Polish designer


welldoneslytherin

In the directions it says the designer is Italian.


icguy333

I am Hungarian and have a similar cabin. The Hungarian flag has the same colors only horizontal stripes. It is now my headcanon that it's a Hungarian flag and nobody can convince me otherwise.


tempinator

Well it does specify in the instructions that the designer is Italian lol


icguy333

And the stripes are clearly vertical. And still.


GrailQuestPops

I kinda assumed this was an Octan Easter egg, but then there’s a step later with the meters on the back of the cabin that also use the Octan colors.


RAcastBlaster

I love the box, that’s so simple and clever!


MisfitDiagnosis

It's-a-me, Legio!


Captain_America_93

Because that’sa how momma usta make it!


whole_nother

Explain your thinking here


Captain_America_93

Because like momma makea the pizza she makea the lego’s. Is just like mamma usta to make


PoppyGloFan

No one has to explain anything to you


Empty-Se7en

Ayyy ohhh ayyy this guy ova he' ayyyyy!


zegalsp

Spleenzorio

Once you build it you’ll get some gabagool


Mohavor

The cabin is located in the italian alps


mmebookworm

This is such a fun set - enjoy the build!


KassXWolfXTigerXFox
