As much as I hate to say it, we might be a full three weeks away still. It's a little amazing to see the lack of leaks with the winter village set as well as the holiday GWP's. It seems like we usually have some rumor/picture of the first holiday GWP by now. Lego is getting better in avoiding leaks. We had a couple of exclusive Sets without any leaks before this year. The pick Up wasn't even rumoured to be released... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Right. Like I remember getting a snapshots of random out of context parts of the set, so we could fill our forum with idle speculation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wooster Posted September 3, 2021 A new leak on IG says it’s called “Santa’s Visit”, a light blue cottage with 5 minifigs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hmmm purely guessing, but if this is the set, I predict it will have the cottage, with Santa's sleigh with..2 reindeer, that is designed to land on the roof, and a chimney that Santa got do down. Just guessing. Santa, 1 Elf, one adult, preferably in a nightgown and a cap ready to settle for a long winters nap, and 2 kids. The cottage will have have an internal Christmas tree. There is my guess, based on that tidbit of info, that may or may not be true.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robert8 Posted September 3, 2021 That sounds.... interesting Hoping for an updated Santa figure in dark red, and with double moulded dark red/black legs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alsielou Posted September 3, 2021 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). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Klaus-Dieter Posted September 3, 2021 Thank you very much for the information, @wooster! On the one hand I'm happy that we're getting a non-fantasy building this year. On the other hand I'm disappointed that there isn't a new building (town hall, candy shop, general store, chocolate factory, inn, ...) for inside the WV. Plus for my taste it's annoying and boring that Lego throws in again a sleigh and (a) fantasy creature(s) like Santa. 48 minutes ago, Celtchief said: Hmmm purely guessing, but if this is the set, I predict it will have the cottage, with Santa's sleigh with..2 reindeer, that is designed to land on the roof, and a chimney that Santa got do down.

There is my guess, based on that tidbit of info, that may or may not be true.... I think so. It sounds like a re-release or at least re-desing of the WV Cottage - but instead of the snow plow (and maybe even the two side builds) Lego throws in Santa with the sleigh.

sansui Posted September 3, 2021 That sounds great. Santa doesn't seem fiction to me. and finally a cottage. The old one is too hard to find in my country. I'm very happy if it's true. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean Santa was real. He's St. Nicholas who lived in history. Of course he didn't wear red hat or clothes. But i believe that the christmas spirit comes from him.

Celtchief Posted September 3, 2021 (edited) So my theory about the sleigh is that the have the reindeer molds, why not use them It's fits with the idea of Santa's visit. And the great thing is, you can pretend its the local town Santa and treat his sled like a picture op in the town square, or him be be daddy dressed up, or the legit Santa. But, if it is called Santa's visit, there will be a Santa. I don't think it well be a re release of the old cottage, it will be a new ground up design, which will be nice, cause it's been weird having a village with only two houses, one being the old season 3 in 1 set, which works really well in the village..

Robert8 Posted September 3, 2021 (edited) 4 reindeers in a single set! Sadly,it seems none of them has a red nose The sleigh is a little too big, but it seems there some interesting toys Getting this for sure! It would seem this was the set rumored yesterday, thus the Winter Village set remains a mystery Edited September 3, 2021 by Robert8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The sleigh runners feel a little plain to me, but that should be easily fixed with the gold trim from the old version. Getting excited for the WV set reveal now!

Roebuck Posted September 3, 2021 What a year for animal moulds 4 in a set is really unexpected and I will buy the set just because of that even if I have a flock already Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RichardGoring Posted September 3, 2021 Four in a relatively small set too. Although pricing will be interesting. You can get four from B&P for $20, so getting multiple of this set may not be the best way to army/herd build. But as a set, it's lovely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's not got the 18+ branding that they're now using for Winter Village. This seems to me to be the next Christmas Wreath that they did last year. A small-ish, $35 set that's more accessible and generic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
