Gave set om te bouwen en om te zien!
Lego + Kids = Happy Dad!
I built this set with my 5 year old daughter over a weekend. Lego builds are a great way to have quiet, quality time together. It's great watching her work out how to assemble each part then add it to the build, only helping out when she asks.
The detail is fantastic and whoever managed to make the little presents look so good deserves a bonus!
We plan to treat this (along with the train) as a Christmas decoration and put it away/rebuild it every year.
Great build
Love this set. It is my first holiday set and it won't be my last. My only concern was the light brick lacking an on/off feature. The light only stays on while the button is pressed. I managed to rig up a switch using extra pieces and later added a set of lights from the Power Functions set...by adding an orange transparent block over the LED, it gave the set a warm yellow light. I replaced the light block upstairs and added a second light under the clock. This gives the set a great glow and lights up the toys in the window nicely. The only problem is hiding the wires. I'm very excited to add more buildings to my winter scene. The large tree was a great selling point...it really adds a festive feel to the set. I'm trying to figure out how to add some real lights to the tree...stay tuned!
Mooie, grote set

LEGO Creator Expert Winter Village Toy Shop - 10249
Prachtige Lego set zoals we gewoon zijn van de Expert serie. Verzending via Game-shopper was snel en alles was goed verpakt. Een aanrader voor de verzamelaar.
Looks good
I built this and it is easy to build as well as looks good. I love that it includes a brick that lights up as well as multiple accessories for the toy shop.
Awesome Village Building
We get these Christmas sets every year from Sinter Klaas (St Nicholas, who is an important figure in the Netherlands where our dad's from), and this is a great set. I know a lot of people had the old one too, but we didn't so this set was brand new to us.
I'll start on the building. It took about an hour and a half to build. The look of the shop is nice and old fashioned, not a super toy shop that looks really modern and flash, but older and simple. The chimney is well built, and looks like real stone, like the chimneys of the other Christmas sets. There is a train and a robot in the window of the shop which looks really nice. The light brick in the toy makers work shop is awesome and makes a nice shadow on the table when you light it through the window. There are three trees outside the shop which look good too. The toy shop sign is a printed piece (not a sticker!) and adds to the old feel of the building. The wreaths above the windows add a nice touch and make the building look very Christmassy.
There is also a tree, which looks very much like a real tree because of the separate builds used to construct it. There are 'lights' around it and a star on top which looks cool too. It comes with a ladder so the minifigures can reach the the top of the tree which is a nice build. There are a couple of presents under the tree too: a teddy, a rocket, a boat, a biplane, a helicopter and a lorry. They are all cool mini builds. There's also a cool little jack in the box which looks good.
There's a bench with a lamppost and tree as well, which isn't really necessary and I think just puts the piece count up, but the lamppost is well designed. There's also a snowman, and in a box under the tree there's a carrot for his nose, but it doesn't actually go on his face.
Onto the minifigures. There are quite a few:
The toy maker- He is wearing a red checked shirt and green overalls. His face has a beige beard and a smile, and his hair is the same as Luke Skywalker episode VI.
A man- He has a beard and brown hair and a navy suit on his torso and grey trousers.
Two carol singers (man and woman)- The man has a top hat, black suit and red scarf. He has a one sided head that's singing. He has a black brick built carol book. The woman has a double sided head: one singing, one smiling. She has a cape and also has a carol book.
Boy with helmet- There's a boy with a helmet that we put on the snowboard. He has a white/green/red torso and green legs. He also has a red scarf.
Ski boy- There's another boy with a navy hat, green coat torso and navy legs. We made him be the skiing one.
Little girl- There's a girl with bright blonde hair, purple legs and a blue torso with a printed purple scarf.
I think that's all the minifigs in this set.
I think it's a bit pricey though. 898 pieces for £59.99 is about 15p per piece, but I think for the finished product it's a bit much, especially as some of the pieces are in minibuilds that could probably be sold for 10p each, if not even less.
Pros:
Looks cool
Nice variety of minifigures
Can connect up to the last toy shop
Cool minibuilds
Cons:
Bit pricey
You have to build something to hold down the switch for the light brick if you want it constantly on, but that's not a major issue for me.
I'd say try to find the set on a bit of a reduction, but even if it's not put down its still a great set that I recommend you get!
erg blij mee
Erg leuke set met veel bijzondere details. Urenlang speelplezier, niet alleen met Kerstmis!Was wat prijzig, maar absoluut geen spijt van de aanschaf. Het werkt wel verslavend, want nu willen we de rest van de wintercollectie ook.
Awesome re-released set
I know that a lot of people are upset about this set because it is a
re-release but I think that it is a very well updated and expanded. I especially like the female caroler's 2nd face you can see it in the picture below.
own both editions, very happy
I, too, was a little disappointed to begin with when I realised no new set was being introduced this year. However, after reading the reviews I got excited and ordered the new toy shop anyway in the hope of producing a double sized shop as has been suggested previously.
Having never built free style or an adaptation I found it quite challenging to begin with and it took me in excess of 6 hours to build my final version using both the instructions as well as photos from previous reviews as guidance and inspiration. I used only bricks from the two sets and some of the tiny spare pieces which come with the sets and did not order any extra bricks.
I'm very happy with the result and it makes a lovely edition to my winter village scene. As a little tip I suggest construction a little "light switch" out of spare bricks which can be clipped onto the light bricks in order for then to remain switched on making the display even more magical in the evenings.
I made one huge one ...
I was reading the reviews and saw what could be done with two ... so I bought two and then put them together on a large grey base plate ...
This is what it looks like
Disappointment Vindicated
I display LEGO sets in my classroom as writing inspiration for my students, and the Winter Village is one of our favorites. I was pretty disappointed when I first saw this repeat set, but then inspiration struck. I built my old set in mirror image and combined the two to create a MEGA TOY STORE!!! Since the new set comes with different accessories and minifigs, I now have more toys, more presents, more minifigs, and an enormous toy store. It's a work in progress, but so far so good.
Charming old world character, Lego style
The style of the building does not disappoint, it has charming old world character. When we first seen this building set we bought 2 of them to create one large toy shop with both a front and a back to fit within our Lego train town.
During the build since I was going to make one large building from two sets, there where a number of modifications that I had to do.
First all the buildings in our Lego train town have a summer time setting. That meant we where not going to build any of the winter time items. By doing that it allowed us to use the extra parts in other areas to build one large toy shop.
Second we also did not want two fireplaces in the building so we added a seventh toy shop window to the first floor, next to the chimney wall.
Some of the other changes I made was to use the extra included green plates to make the roof fit a summer time look. Put the clocks on the exterior of the building to make a second floor clock tower. Used the mini figure ski poles as the toy shop sign poles (it gave it a smaller profile that better fit the overall look of the building) Added a light brick to the chimney to light up the toy shop interior, and see all eight of the mini build toys inside on display.
The final build of adding two winter toy shop sets together to make on large summer time Toy shop build, turned out awesome. I would recommend everyone get two sets and build one large building. It really has a great look and feel and fits perfectly near other Creator Expert style buildings. The Final build is just stunning. This is one of my favorite creator sets of all time already.
