    Winter Village Sets - Rumours and Discussion

    What time (UK time) do the press releases usually go out?

    Winter Village Sets - Rumours and Discussion

    But sadly it was even later in other years. One year it was announced on a Sunday (UK time) - The fire station, so there’s hope yet! I am also on the edge of my seat in anticipation!!

    There was a teaser campaign for the fire station! It’s the only one that I can recall.

    I love this time of year!! I think it’s definitely time for a shop, the last one was seven years ago!! (Rereleased toy shop) I agree that a sweets shoppe would be a very good choice. Every holiday village has one, so it’s a glaring omission to me. Otherwise a winter sports store or book shop also would be good contenders. I have a feeling I might be surprised again this year though. I mean I never could have predicted an Elf Clubhouse!!

    Very cute! I enjoyed reading your story :-) Nice little ice fishing pond too.

    What are other people going to do with their brick built reindeer? I still really like the brick built ones and had actually bricklinked more of those a few years ago. But they will look odd together with the new ones. I will likely put them in different places on my layout but it is still a little weird. What a conundrum eh?!

    Santa’s sleigh isn’t a GWP, it’s a regular set that will hopefully be in stock long enough for everyone to get. The two Christmas GWPs are rumoured to be “Santa’s front yard” and “Mr & Mrs Claus’s Living Room”

    I absolutely love it! And I’m so pleased there were no grainy leaks beforehand. It was a lovely surprise to see it first in the official announcement - https://brickset.com/article/63563/this-year-s-winter-village-set-revealed! I think it’s gorgeous. I think all the pieces have gone into the details of the smooth snowy mounds, curved roof corners, greenery under the roofline and windowsills, that tablecloth… and the chimney must be bigger than any other winter village chimney, in order to fit Santa… It would have been nice if the parent minifigs were also wearing pj’s instead of torsos that we’ve seen before. But hey, I love their hair (though coincidentally I literally just purchased both of these black hairpieces for my winter village folks). I really love it.

    The wreath just became available again on Saturday, on the Australian Lego site, despite earlier this year being marked as “retired”. So do keep your eyes out 😊. I understand that the apparent rumour for this year’s winter village set is for a new cottage, not a rerelease of the prior set….

    In a set, yes, although last year / earlier this year these legs appeared in the BAM station at our Lego store. So I already kitted out all my Santas with boots. He does look so much better with boots. This is going to be a great Lego Christmas season, for sure!! Can’t wait to see the winter village set reveal!!

    Ooh this does sound interesting. Will be fabulous to have another cottage. I don’t need any more Santas but Santa’s visit does indeed make me think there would be a sleigh and reindeer on the roof and more reindeer would be welcome. Interesting if it is indeed a light blue cottage given that the last cottage was also blue (although, medium blue).

    These look great! I would love to see more detailed pictures. Your winter village must be huge by now with all these additions!
  13. This looks great! It’s a really interesting building. Thanks so much for sharing your PDF instructions - it must have taken ages to make those.

    That’s a good point and I agree. I mustn’t forget to pick up that set…. (Have been waiting for a decent discount) Although I would enjoy a butchers shop in the winter village, I can’t see that happening. I could see TLG releasing a ski shop however; selling skis, snowboards, skates and snowshoes etc. in a gorgeous little old style building.

    I think a sweet shoppe is long overdue and would fit perfectly within the theme. I also love the idea of a town hall, tavern, café, book shop, another cottage or even a little farm, with several sheep :-) I would be surprised if it were another fantasy building. It doesn’t matter too much to me what the theme is though, so long as the building has the right aesthetic. I look forward to the announcement :-)
