LEGO Winter Toy Shop - 10249

I love all the Christmas sets including this one. My favourite is the big Christmas tree with the ladder that you can perch a Minifigure on as they decorate the tree. All accessories and colour scheme fit in perfect with the other Christmas sets. Must have for any holiday town.

I get like a kid at Christmas with every new set I receive. It's the gift I give myself that never disappoints. Thanks Lego.

Ordered as part of our window display this year, along with Christmas Train, easy to follow instruction just patience and time required.

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.

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!
