I strongly suspect Santa's Workshop is a little scene, but maybe the Winter Elves will be a kind of add on to the Elf Clubhouse.

TeriXeri Posted October 3, 2022 Not sure why one building is 6.5 wide and the other just mainly 5 studs. Even if it's "just" 1 to 1.5 stud, at this scale it's still quite a difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Murdoch17 Posted October 3, 2022 (edited) So, anyway, who here is combing this new WV Holiday Main Street set with the Hogsmeade Village Visit set? If you have, post pictures, I'm sure we'd all love to see them and how they compare! Also, has anyone who has got / will get the new Winter Village set planning on modifying it to be less Winter-y? Edited October 3, 2022 by Murdoch17 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RichardGoring Posted October 3, 2022 I will be combining it, but haven't got it yet, and may not until next year honestly. I've been in a state of nearly moving for three years, which means I've got the last four sets still in the box. However, we have now moved, so there's a chance we could go on a building steak if the weather is bad enough. I'm still not a huge fan of the new set, but think it will be much better a part of a street, hence the name I suppose. Adding Hogsmeade will help. I wonder if they will do a part 2 next year?

Lion King Posted October 3, 2022 I dunno…I mean, it’s hard to imagines combining Hogmmeades with Holiday Main Street. It may not feel right to mee -Hogmeade says “visit” while Main Street says “town”. Like Murdoch17 said, I would like to see a pic! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Celtchief Posted October 4, 2022 (edited) Peeking out to see if I can speak without being accused of being a Lego Cult Member (All HAIL EMMET). I have Hogsmeade and ordered the Main Street, so I intend to maybe get just those two sets together over fall break and see how they look, Emmett's will be done. Depends how quick they can shove the set out of the warehouse (With Emmet's Grace) Edited October 4, 2022 by Celtchief NOT A CULT (All hail Emmet) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RichardGoring Posted October 4, 2022 (edited) Brick Artisan on Rebrickable lives to make anything modular. Anything. Most recently the new winter village set. And you can see it next to modular versions of Santa's Visit and the gingerbread house, which have similar style and roof lines to Hogsmeade, and I think it works nicely together. Definitely better than the buildings being standalone. https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-124898/Brick Artisan/modular-holiday-main-street/#details Edited October 4, 2022 by RichardGoring Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I found it interesting how much the stickers influenced my feelings towards the set…I genuinely like the builds a lot more now and can definitely see me buying it if they continue with this style.

RichardGoring Posted October 4, 2022 Also, the fact that the Hogsmeade Village buildings have a similar level of snow on the roof as the new main street set is nice for consistency if they're all together. Same for the Market stalls, Post Office, and Fire Station. They could all be together in the centre of town, whereas the houses are a bit further out and got hit by more snow. Might be overthinking that a bit, but the story is nice to consider. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As a loyal Lego Cult Member (LCM) I will be buying the tree, but I am either going to do the 2 tree model and include it in the village, or do the full tree and use it as a table decoration. As for the Halloween Village, YES. I think that is a great idea, and one I fully support. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yellowturnip Posted October 5, 2022 Been wanting a nice, good looking Xmas tree for the village but this one just looks like they overstretched it. Does it look like that in real life? I’m thinking of getting the Hocus Pocus set as part of my Halloween display. So far it’s a mash up of the Vampire Haunted Mansion, the bait shop, some trick or treaters and Ghostbusters and the Scooby Doo team on a ghoulish mission. Not sure I could handle if Lego did a Halloween theme like the Winter Village, or should I say my wallet…maybe if Lego did a combined version where you take down the webs and pumpkins and add some snow and cheery lights…oh my, now I’m picturing evil elves 😂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But i think Halloween-themed collection line would serve a justice or Halloween fans. Speaking of “evil elves”….Have you watched Krampus movie?
