#FiveOfOurFavourite Lego Houses
Today's five of our favourites is Houses and more specifically Lego houses!
We all played with Lego as kids, some of us however continued playing with Lego and got pretty damn good at building with it!
There is loads of room for creativity and endless possibilities when building with Lego. Here are some of our favourite sets that you can buy and build yourself!
The Simpsons Family House
The Simpsons Family House, 2500 pieces of fun and apparently full of colour! Watch how the figures and house were designed and produced. We love that the families TV screen features Itchy and Scratchy and that there is a nice pink car in the garage to play with! Unfortunately the car looks more like Lady Penelope's FAB 1 Thunderbirds car!
Buy the house directly from Lego for £179.99 here: http://shop.lego.com/en-GB/The-Simpsons-House-71006?_requestid=16087111

Coming with almost 350 pieces and standing at almost 20cm. Lego present the Big Ben Clock Tower, one of the world's most recognizable landmarks. Standing at the northeast corner of the Palace of Westminster in London, the Big Ben Clock Tower was erected in the mid 1800's after a fire burned down much of the original palace.
