    Winter Village Sets - Rumours and Discussion

    It will be interesting to see how accurate this rumor is. Feels like at this point we are so desperate for any kind of rumor that we will believe anything remotely plausible

    My fault. I should have been clearer. Rumors of the what the set actually is instead of the release date. Also, I was just trying to spark some more conversation

    Forget all this release date talk/debate! Where's the rumors!?! I'm holding out for a town hall

    Yes Yes Yes! Finally we get another house for the WV families! Love the design and layout. I'm very pleased and this is a must buy for me and my village.

    I bought a damaged box set for 10% off with the idea of using it in the WV. Its still in the box because I'm unsure of the scale as well. Might try to find a decent rebrickable for it or just sell it.

    This is shaping up to be an awesome and expensive year for WV fans! Home Alone ideas set $250 This new Santa Sleigh set for $40-50 The Penguin Seasonal model $15 The normal WV release for around $100 I guess its a good problem to have!

    I usually wait until November to order my WV in order to get the holiday GWP. Kinda nervous about it this year with all of the product shortages though but I still think its worth the risk.

    So they probably should've called this the Elf Bunkhouse. Seems like that would be a more accurate description. I'll take it either way though =) The interior is really nice and I absolutely love the triple bunks. Still a little disappointed at the lack of different torsos and legs but I plan to mix in all my other elves anyway. The price point at $99 was predictable and seems fair enough given the reindeer mold accounts for a chunk of the budget. Just waiting to see when to purchase in order to get the Dickens GWP.

    I went with the Star Wars advent this year for that exact reason. Plus the sweater prints are amazing!

    Initial thoughts - I actually like this set a lot more than I was expecting. - I think it will fit in quite well with Santa's workshop and the small elf shed from years past. I may even decide to remove all of the fantasy buildings and create a second winter village with them now that there's 3 buildings to work with - The architecture of the build fits in quite well with all of the other sloped roofs. I know some people are probably sick of them but I think the consistency helps in a large layout. - The reindeer mold looks great as we saw when it leaked earlier and even though it only includes 1, it should open up the option to buy more on bricks and pieces or bricklink - I know I'm in the minority but the black box isn't a problem for me. They are actually beginning to grow on me - I wish they would have included red hats on the elves just for variety sake - I could have done without another tree build....wish they would have used that piece count on a different side build or another reindeer Overall I'm pleased with this set based on initial evaluation. I would have preferred a more standard village building (town hall etc.) but I guess that just leaves something else to look forward too next year.

    Totally agree. I do like the snow fort wall and the minifigures though. I think some of the prints are new

    Don't be afraid to share or ask questions. I've always found the Winter Village forum to be full of like minded friendly people

    I store them completely assembled in an assortment of plastic bins and cardboard boxes. Each year I try to take a couple of older sets and unassemble/wash/reassemble. It keeps the dust from getting too bad on them. I also have to replace parts occasionally that get brittle. These are the realities of a collection that over 10 years old now!
