Winter Village Sets - Rumours and Discussion

[Christmas Jack]

Having now collected everything from the Winter Village Market through to Santa's Post Office -- plus umpteen promos and side builds -- this year I feel like I crossed the threshold of having too much stuff. 12 major sets makes for a very busy Christmas display! I think I could maybe squeeze in an unlucky thirteenth if something really special comes out in the future, but unless I start rotating sets a decade of Winter Village collecting might have to be enough for me.

Santa's Post Office was a nice set to finish on. The hot air balloon adds a really nice focal point, and you can make the building look more post office-y by scattering some of the (many) envelope tiles around the doorway. It's a shame it got retired so quickly -- it was gone from the AU online shop long before Black Friday, so I picked mine up second hand.

I'd still like a Winter Village Police Station or a Christmas Tree Farm, but my prediction for next year is a re-imagined Santa's Workshop.

I still hold out hope that LEGO will release a proper reindeer stable with barn.

I skipped this year's train and instead picked up the 40573 Christmas Tree and 40746 Santa's Delivery, both on the cheap(ish), to add to the village. Like @Christmas Jack, I too am maxing out my available space, and my post office and alpine lodge remain unbuilt for now. Anyway, has anyone modded 40746 to be a model of a more traditional vintage looking delivery truck? I'm not a fan of the open cab look and would like to do something with this that gets rid of the workshop play aspect.
