Building additions are flimsy
The creativity of this set was great, but the way it is assembled is terrible. The only bricks left are the "nubs", so I know it is assembled correctly. The issues lie with how the smaller assemblies or add-ons (i.e rock wall, windows, etc) are set into the main building openings. Two little nubs are not enough to support the add ons. When adding the last upper floor add-on the entire upper floor fell apart. Using a 1x4 plate with four nubs would be much better than having a 1x4 with two. I have been assembling Legos for over 30 years with children and grandchildren, and the only other flimsy 'building' I have seen is the Hogwarts express station. Sorry, but I am disappointed with this product.

That doesn't sound right! I'm sorry to hear that you've experienced some frustration with the Skate House. We always put our toys through multiple tests to make sure they'll hold up to play play when they're completed. If it seems like some elements aren't very sturdy, double checking the build can be the best remedy. Sometimes a piece is a little off from where it should be, and a small shift of the part and give the model the security it needs. If everything is tightly pressed together, but the model still could use some troubleshooting, we're happy to give you a hand. Feel free to give our build experts a shout at LEGO.com/Service.
Thinking outside the box
I love the new modular sets and the build opportunities they present. I immediately saw the potential in this set but confess I did not build any of the 3-in-1 suggestions featured. Instead, I built the two-storey house it originally would have been before it was converted (the back story in my head!). I was so pleased with the result, I went out and bought another set. Using the pieces from both sets, I created a three story apartment block for my city. I did have to use some windows and one or two other bits that I kept from other builds - but not much though. I'm delighted with the resulting build and attach a photo. Thanks!

I'm sorry to hear that you've had a disappointing experience with your LEGO® set; that certainly doesn't sound right! Since this is a 3-in-1 set, you should have all the pieces you need to build complete one of the builds at a time. If you've double-checked the box and bags and don't have all the parts for your chosen build, then we'd be happy to help. You can request the pieces you need at LEGO.com/Service. Just choose the "Bricks & Pieces" option to get started.
Flimsy
Found this product very flimsy, something I wouldn’t expect from Lego. Falls apart constantly when playing ( if partner allows me near it). For my anniversary present he bought me the creator 3 in 1 beach house that is great and I love my surfer girl but this set falls below standards. Do like the originality of the design in particular the climbing wall. We are saving to buy one of the creator expert buildings and hope it won’t be as flimsy as this.

Thanks for your review. I'm sorry to hear that you've experienced some frustration with the set. We always test and retest our toys to make sure that they’ll hold up to play when they’re built exactly as shown in the instructions. If something ever seems like it's not very sturdy, the best thing to do is double-check your build. Sometimes there may be a piece just a little off from where it should be, which can cause instability. You’ll also want to make sure that all the pieces are pressed tightly together. If you'd like a hand troubleshooting the build, or if you find that any pieces aren't holding together as they should, feel free to give us a shout at LEGO.com/Service
not a real 3 in 1, disappointing.
So disappointed about this one! Normally, 3 in 1 Lego sets should allow you to build one the three options using ALL the pieces (or almost all of them). with this set, if you choose to build the third option, this will not happen! You will not use the majority of them, like 2/3 of the pieces will stay unused. This is unacceptable! I have a few spare lego piece and i was able to build option number one (till the skate slide) after having build the option number 3 adding just a few pieces from my collection. I am so so so so disappointed!

Thank you for your review. We're sorry to hear that you're disappointed in the third build option for this set, and we always appreciate the feedback. While that build might not use all the pieces, the extras can always be used to create something awesome to go along with it.
Very cute
This is perfect park and recreation building in my lego city. I love the details on the outside of the building the inside doesn’t have too many details but I still don’t mind because the outside makes up for the inside. The helmet is a nice feature wish it had two helmets but overall good build

Cute
It’s cute but I’m really not a fan of the new “modular” style where the windows/doors/additional levels are not built in.
