LEGO takes toilets from one extreme to another
The LEGO Group has gone from one extreme to another when it comes to toilets appearing in sets.
LEGO Icons 10312 Jazz Club is split between two buildings, featuring an open-plan interior so that minifigures can move between the pizzeria and the jazz club easily. However, one awkward element of the structure is that there is a toilet on the ground floor that can only be seen during the build process. Once the walls are up, it’s virtually impossible to spot the bathroom and its adorably tiny toilet paper roll.
However, in the latest reveal from the LEGO Group, LEGO Ideas 21338 A-Frame Cabin, the designers have gone to the other extreme with how to present the toilet. Instead of tucking it away where almost no one will see it, it’s proudly out in full view for the world to see.
21338 A-Frame Cabinn is all about rustic living in the middle of the forest. The lighting is largely from candles, the building has its own boiler and waste system, and it looks to be largely self-sufficient. In keeping with this lifestyle, the bathroom is also au natural, with an outdoor shower and a roll of toilet paper attached to the back of the house. Instead of hiding the toilet away, minifigures in 21338 A-Frame Cabin will need to do their business right out in the open.
The detail that the LEGO Group puts into all the large-scale sets like these is what makes them so fascinating – and now we can see that that level of consideration even carries through to the bathroom habits of its minifigures.
