Recently bought this set cause.... Well... Lighthouses are cool buildings.... I like lighthouses and so does my mom. There are a few pieces here and there though that I added on, including a few extra minifigs that don't come in the set. More photos of the set are to come. And no I won't show this set's other builds. I just like the lighthouse build too much to take it apart. And yes. The light does light up, as you can see by looking behind the minifig on the tower.
