makoy Posted October 4, 2016 I like that Santa Claus. I will get this out off all the other seasonal sets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kalhiki Posted October 4, 2016 I really like that Santa. Haven't really paid much attention to these seasonal sets this year, but Mr. Claus caught my eye. May just have to get him if I have the chance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bricknblue Posted October 4, 2016 The eyes are separate and he doesn't look creepy. That's a winner in my book. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legocity2713 Posted October 4, 2016 The details here are really well done with some creative uses of Lego parts like the 1x2 pieces used for the white trim above Santa's boots and the feather pieces used for a little bit of the beard. It will definitely make a very nice table ornament but I still probably won't get it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ardelon Posted October 4, 2016 Looks pretty substantial. I especially like the dark green. But as a parts pack, I prefer the reindeer - Im a sucker for the browns. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robert8 Posted October 4, 2016 Looks slightly better than the vampire or the elf or the pilgrim.... Can't wait to see the 2017 seasonal St Valentine set Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mencot Posted October 5, 2016 Does anyone know if we are getting this year, those two exclusive christmas sets? Haven´t seen any news on them and it is october already. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Cobra Posted October 5, 2016 @Mencot: Elves and Santa, either see previous posts or look here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ardelon Posted October 5, 2016 There seem to be a lot of Christmas sets this year - this Santa, the Elves workshop, the nutcracker tree ornament, the reindeer, the snowglobe... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KevinMD Posted October 5, 2016 2 hours ago, The Cobra said: @Mencot: Elves and Santa, either see previous posts or look here. He said exclusives, so I assume he means the rare holiday promos. The Santa snow globe is one of them; I thought the elves would be based on the prelim packaging having the blacked-out banner but they're a regular release so I am starting to doubt a second set. That holiday countdown calendar seems to have taken its spot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mencot Posted October 5, 2016 I meant these kinds of sets http://toysnbricks.com/lego-40107-holiday-part-2-set-2014-christmas/ That Elves sets prelim packaging looks like the same kind of box but the set itself doesn´t look at all like what TLG has given out in the last 5 years. But it fits in with the rest of the big and blocky figures they have released this year. So meh and blaah. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blackpool Posted October 7, 2016 It appears that the holiday countdown and the santa snow globe are the two small sets for this year. I find them somewhat disappointing. I was hoping for small sets possibly related to the holiday train. I guess I just have to settle for some good parts from them this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
just_one Posted October 14, 2016 anyone knows the release date for the snowglobe? kinda hoping its this month because of the 2x VIP points in europe... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't have an answer to that, I would like to know that as well! Also, how much would you have to spend to get it? Can somebody please clear this up? I've spent so much on LEGO this year that I want to limit myself to one more big purchase this year, so either I use Double VIP + London Bus + Nexo Guard, or I wait for the Snow Globe promotion, if that's a better deal.

Snowglobe is black friday (nov 25-28), with VIP release 19-20. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vorkosigan Posted October 17, 2016 Yes and the purchase threshold is $99. Its on the November calendar, you have to click the pdf version to see the fine print. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Klaus-Dieter Posted October 17, 2016 Thank you all very much for the news!

I guess I just have to settle for some good parts from them this year. I completely agree with you, Blackpool! We shouldn't be ungrateful; of course it's a very nice thing that TLG offers us some nice and exclusive sets for free. But I, too, wish that TLG would instead release small Winter Village add-ons in the future - like they did 2011-2013. These were namely excellent, small sets which fit perfect in our Winter Villages! Therefore it's for sure no fault to write down our wishes for WV giveaways at: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/topic/32321-ideas-for-10199-winter-toy-shop-add-ons/&page=1 Klaus-Dieter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legocity2713 Posted October 17, 2016 ^ The 2012 and 2013 ones were some of the best ever. 2014 ones were pretty decent too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legocity2713 Posted October 20, 2016 The December Lego Store Calendar is out. Gingerbread Man figure is the giveaway, similar to the Chicken Guy from earlier this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Plastic Archer Posted October 21, 2016 That is disappointing. $50 for one minifigure is not very appealing to make me want to buy in December. (Since the City volcano Jackhammer polybag came with an order of 35$ city sets) Plus no double VIP points because the promotion doesn't start until the 12th. Why does He not even have his "Drink Me" cup? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legocity2713 Posted October 21, 2016 And to add on to that it appears that the calendar does not have any more coupons to use throughout the year. :( Can anyone verify this information? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
