Fireplace Custom Set

Russell844

Hello all. Does anyone recognize this custom set? I bought it last year at a Bricks & Minifigs store, but it didn't come with instructions. I'd like to actually build it.

My guess is a staff member or AFOL built them to sell in the store, I cannot imagine it would be hard to figure out how they built it.

There is a 4x4 blue plate included that is throwing me off in planning to build it.

Lay out the parts for us all to see and we can have a go at building it for you 😊 what could go wrong!! 😂

What could possibly go wrong...

I'm imagining the 6l bar goes into the 2x2 round brick with the leaves the slotted on as a christmas tree?

Slightly confused by the 1x6 bricks and plate.

I would imagine the red bricks, red plates and red slope bricks form a chimney breast above the printed fireplace whilst the remaining parts from a tree with red lights and golden circle to represent a star?

Yeah, I would put the red bricks and plate either above or below the fireplace (bricks below, plate above?), with the slopes and 1x2 plate on top of those for a chimney effect, the 2x2 round as a base for the tree, put in the bar with leaves on, with the red 1x1 on the leaves as decoration. The white 1x1 round could be a decoration or a candle. The weird bit is the clip. Sure it can clip on the bar to hold something but it is the wrong way to hold the 1x1 gold round tile. If that was a plate instead it could have clipped into the underside of the clip at the top of the tree bar.

The slopes and 1x2 plates could also be used to make a nativity / house scene for the mantle piece. Or maybe it all was just random bulk bits they wanted to get rid of.

Here's what I think.  I'm probably wrong.
The gold round tile, white cylinder, and red and white 1x2 plates could form a stocking.
The blue plate is a rug beneath the tree.
The tree goes, bottom to top:
- brown 2x2 round
- DBG bar
- leaves with 1x2 round trans-reds
- at the top, the LBG clip with the 1x1 SQUARE trans-red as a "star"
The rest of the red bricks/slopes can fashion a chimney/fireplace surround.

This is the best I could come up with.

Looks good!

I wonder if the round brown tile is meant to represent a cookie so should be next to the white tube piece (representing milk maybe?) instead of on top of it?

Russell844

Good thought! It's actually pearl gold and I was thinking of a candle. I didn't think of milk and cookies.

jason1976

Aaah I see! It looks brown in your photo and my first thought was why is there a cookie on top of the milk!

A cookie and a glass of milk... now I'm hungry: thanks, guys!  ;)
