Great set, but can be much better!

This set is truly amazing, but I honestly feel they should’ve made the heads like they did with the Simpsons as well as Toy Story by creating special molds for them.
I feel cartoon characters need to have special molded heads Like they did for the Simpsons heads and Toy Story which were designed extremely well! Many fans for the Simpson figures as well as Toy Story that love the head sculpted designs wanted that same design for this Flintstones set and the characters included were not done very well.
For one, Barney should have got the shorter new movable teen legs that the Harry potter figs now have. The Flintsones heads definitely should’ve been done the same as the Simpsons heads! Big miss!
Also, the set really should’ve included DINO as well as the BEDROCK sign And also the floor boards on the car should be open so Fred’s feet should have the effect of touching the ground like in the show. Animal appliances, where are they LEGO??
LEGO should have not made changes to exclude Bam Bam, Pebbles and Dino...
TO LEGO, if the fans voted 10k to want the set including Dino, Bam Bam and Pebbles then why would you exclude them from the set makes no sense and just like the Steam Boat willie set coming April 1st is $90 many would have paid more then $60 for the Flintstones set if you just kept in those figures you decided to take away to save on cost that collectors would have paid more 100% for those characters included! Bad move LEGO...
This set was made for Nostalgia collectors and you removed very important characters that were voted for by the fans and you should have listened to US THE FANS THAT SUPPORT YOU more then an average customer! Putting DINO on the TV is not good enough!!!!
Other than that the set is epic and I love it still!
Imagine a Nice head scultp for the Flintstone characters like the Amazing Simpson figures as well as Toy Story style is and how iconic Freds face is with his big nose would be amazing with a sculpted mold.

How great would it be to see a NEWLY sculpted well made DINO with movable arms, rotable head like the New dinosaur scuplts on the market now. The figures they have in this Flintstone set are whack especially, how they have like an outline where his nose can be, but really no nose??? These official Lego heads released with the Flintstones set are whack compared to if you made sculpted heads.
All the Flintstones characters each have a unique head to them and it was a huge miss not to do it like the Simpsons or Toy Story characters!
Yes, obviously sclupted heads would drive up the cost, but LEGO can then make an excuse to re-use those heads in future Flintsone sets to give us more from the caveman Iconic cartoon series... Give us all of Bedrock! (Bowling Alley) etc....
Give us the character the Great Gazoo with a small body and big sclupted head in a future set please!!!!
Give the Flintstones Justice by releasing them with sclupted heads!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Well I definitely had a Yabba Dabba Doo time building, rebuilding and at the end expanding the whole set to pleasure the eye even more but let me focus on the set itself first. The whole build wasn't difficult, took about two hours and have to say that the way the whole house was designed, just love it, not too big, not too small, just the right size plus the technique used to finish it off, perfect, together with the car very pleasing to the eye and catches your attention straight away.
Once finished, like many others here, I was slightly disappointed there was no Dino, Pebbles and Bamm Bamm minifigures but thought to myself, there's always something that can be done, probably won't look exactly like in the TV Series but lets have a go and try!
Once I custom build the kids (sadly no chance to somehow create Dino) I thought, hmm.. a bit crowded here, how about another house for the Rubbles so I've bought another set but this time decided to build the house in the mirror reflection with some changes (windows, roof, colour of the door and curtains) so both wouldn't look exactly the same.
When I finished with the house I knew straight away there was no space in the car for the whole bunch anymore so off I was going through my parts and thinking how could I make that car bigger and basically ended up creating something different.
I decided to give the other car to the Rubbles but now think this probably wasn't the best idea.. :)
When I thought I was done my 5 year old daughter came up to me and asked, 'Daddy where are we going to bowl..' so I said 'Well darling, we're going to have to figure something out' and off I was again.
There was not a lot of Light Bluish Gray bricks left in our spares, but at least enough to somehow do the front so it could match the rest, go with the darker colour inside and we had are small Bowling Alley ready, she was absolutely over the moon and could't wait to have the first round!
Absolutely loved the Flintstones as a child so this really brought back some nice memories and without all the additions this is still a lovely display piece!
Would definitely recommend!

Had a lot of fun building this one with my kids. Had to look up old episodes of the show for them to watch. They thought it was hilarious! Thanks for bringing back a bit of my childhood to share with them.
Will Dino, Pebbles, Hoppy, & Bam Bam be making an appearance in future sets?

Where’s Dino???
on March 12, 2019
Posted by: Dsmith1868
I was very excited about this set. I didn’t even read the description. Love the Flintstones! Saw the box and hit “buy.” Well... it arrived. My friend said “Where’s Dino?” And I’m like... oh, he has to be included in a Flintstones set!!! I looked the box over. No Dino! Uh... well... obviously the designer wasn’t really a Flintstones fan! The box remains and will remain unopened. It went into the closet. Sad.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Though a great, fun build.... its missing some attributes I feel would have made it better. Pebbles, Bam Bam, Dino, Kazoo, etc. That aside, still love it!
I would recommend this to a friend!
