Comparing the LEGO Ideas Sesame Street to the Original Project

If we were to get some more sesame street sets/minifig blind bags heres the figures i would want. Harry Monster, Honkers,Grover ,Super Grover, Oscar (as an actual minifig with a new piece for his trash can so he can fit in and come out of),Telly Monster, The Count,Mr.Snuffleupagus,Zoe, Rosita,Mr. Hooper, Gordon, Olivia, Susan, Bob, Maria, Luis,Gabby,David, Guy Smiley, Mr. Jhonson, The Martians, and Roosevelt Franklin!
Man, that was alot of characters!

Bought two sets and made a fat modular. The window on the side to the front, made a back out of the 2nd set. Awesome space for Bert & Ernie and Elmo's train track

I got this shortly after it came out and started building it in May. (Disabled with school age children- so takes me a lot of time/energy). I’m pleased with this set- bought it because I grew up watching SS and loved the nostalgia the set includes. And love mr hoopers store. From the front, camera angles, it was definitely needed

the lack of window in the front, over the main Door or was the most annoying think to me, thankfully I had some extra green windows and I change it a little bit and now both the Apartment building and Mr. Hooper´s store are closed, and look far way better and too cozy

Grover should have been included. I’m ok with the count as the bat form.

Now that we have this set I want muppet studios

I think they did an amazing job with translating this set. I get that fans really want to have that extraness, but they did make some good choices. Removing the back wall already helps with getting the lego blocks down and the basement was to cramp anyway. So the set will be cheaper removing those things.

I do miss some figures, but, like you said, those headsculpts are expansive and they do look amazing. The store makes it feel more unique than just an appartment building set and I love that they used it to give Cookie Monster a room. Now every figure has his own room, something that is very rare in Lego sets. You can really play with this set. If they do more minifigures, I hope it will be just the muppets.

There should definitely be a minifig collection to add to this. Both the fact that some of the best characters are missing and that the design strays far too much from the original submission were low points in this set. Hooper's is an essential part of the build as its symbolism goes far beyond its existence in the show all the way to the fact that Sesame Street was brave enough to include an episode about his death...not something you'd find in today's watered down television experience. Frankly I bought the set and I'm happy about it, but the original design for the building which would have been Ghostbuster Firehouse-sized would have been far more exciting and enticing.

The original fan submission looks much better with greater play value for both kids and adults.

I do like the look of the original

There needs to be a SS Minifig Series collection. A collection usually has 16 minifigs and here are my choices:
1. The Count 2. Regular Grover 3. Super Grover 5. Herry Monster 6. Mr. Snuffleupagus/Snuffy 7. Zoe 8. Rosita 9. Prairie Dawn 10. Betty Lou 11. Biff 12. Sully 13. Sherlock Hemlock 14. The Amazing Mumford 15. Guy Smiley 16. Telly
Kermit the Frog(owned by Disney) will hopefully be part of a future Muppet Show set.

I like sesame street

I totally agree with you. They should have included Count and super Grover.☹️ I also don't like the missing window in the front. Front looks like something is missing. ☹️

The top 5 characters for next set ranked most wanted to least wanted (1 is best 5 is worst but still loved!)

1. Grover
2. Abby
3. The count
4. Telly
5. Baby bear or Zoe (it’s hard to choose)

Official 10/10
Original 15/10

In sweden it cost about $190 but I love the Hoopers store on the side

I like the old one ，the official set l didn’t buy

Oh my you need to have hooper’s store

They should add Snuffleupagus with big bird, I mean he is or was a major character
