LEGO Model 6117: Doors & Windows

Product Information

The 4×5 dimension for doors was so successful, it became a standard door size and also used for train doors, the 6-pain door, as well as 4×5 clear glass doors. While some children on the block got quite good at “fig flicking”, how realistic was a door that’s smaller than the average minifig? Hey, look at the little door”, I said to myself as I could not wait to attach it to the green baseplate. Our Lego window collections include a variety of colorful Lego window elements with which you can perfectly equip your Lego buildings.

Build a push-along robot with a cupboard tummy, rocket house with an alien pilot or a busy bee with window wings.From the 1975 small 2×3 door that didn’t open to the new 4×6 door twice the size, what will future LEGO doors offer? In 1956 LEGO windows/doors started having studs on top (the classic LEGO windows/doors of 1956-86), and each of the windows/door types was one brick shorter. Includes age-appropriate building instructions and even more LEGO bricks to help children unlock their creative building skills!

From a push-along robot with a cupboard tummy to a boot-shaped shoe house, children discover new ways to create exciting LEGO animals, buildings and objects using standard LEGO elements.

To me, the original version is better - the doors are a better height for the scale of the set overall and they open properly.

However i tend to find that many of the specific model sets have lots of very model specific peices, so i decided to augment our collection with some bricks, wheels, roofs and doors.

Turning off the personalized advertising setting won’t stop you from seeing Etsy ads, but it may make the ads you see less relevant or more repetitive. only windows/doors with studs on top and "whole bricks" without slots on the sides were now the standard (in 1956).

One of the most positive aspects that you also correctly state is that old doors could work on their own, without having the need of a support piece. Another minor issue I have with the new door is that the doorknob stud is too close to the edge of the door, so that it's impossible to add any kind of doorknob on the inside of the door without it jamming in the door frame. They mention that it is great for creative play, keeps young creators entertained for hours, and is an excellent toy that can be added to over the years.Whether you are building a Lego dolls house or a mansion fit for a king, what building would be complete without some doors and windows. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. They mention that it comes with a good selection of items to complete any lego set, and is an invaluable collection of extra windows and doors to cope with the ever more complex buildings.

Includes a wide selection of windows and doors, plus a colorful mix of LEGO® pieces including eyes, wheels, hinges and bricks for kids to create classic LEGO toys. It wasn't until 1966 that yellow classic windows/doors were introduced in the 325 Shell Station Set (not sold in USA/Canada). Unfortunately, although one could see through the clear plastic, the door had a major design flaw; it was molded shut. Best thing is that you now can put flat bricks in front of doors and they will still be able to open.

But I'm afraid we've lost our beloved 5-high doors, where I hoped they would continue to exist next to today's doors. Very interesting to see those colours, I have loads in red and white but I don't think I have any of those colours and can say that I have never seen them before.
