New Christmas sets revealed.

Definitely interesting. 

The train is cute, but I don't know how I feel about it including a 3D printed part. What's the point of that?

The Christmas tree looks smashed on top, which isn't forgivable since it's a $330 set. At least I've never seen a Christmas tree that suddenly goes from a 60 degree and to a 45 degree angle. Also, putting the new bright green space helmet & air tanks in this set is a serious d*ck move unless they also appear in PAB. Also, most of the cool computer readouts are stickers, so I say "meh" to those.

Well I added up all the upcoming Holiday sets not including any of the Advent Calendars and the grand total in the US comes to $627.94 before taxes.  Add in another $250 if one wanted all the Advent calendars and with taxes added on that's a little under $1000 for everything.  Fortunately I only want two of the Advent Calendars this year and I've already gotten myself two copies of the City one at $10 off each and hoping to secure the other one in Costco with $9 off.  I may be staring into the abyss of another dark age unless I want to end up in the poor house.  I need to get pickier with my purchases so I'm thinking the Train & Tree are off my must buy list unless a great deal on either of them comes along.  May even pass on the Buildable Santa Jumbo Fig.
