Seasonal

We don't have a Seasonal 2016 so... These are listed as seasonal. I can guess the 1st 2 but what holiday is the monkey...? 40201, 40202 & 40207

Saw the new Holiday Train coming out in October. Definitely want that one for my collection. Included with any $99 purchase from 10/13 - 11/13.

Blurry image of 40123 (Thanksgiving) has appeared on other boards. Looks like its from the back page of the instruction book from 40122:

Here's the new seasonal set:

List from 2016 rumors on hothbricks 40122 Trick or Treat 40123 Thanksgiving Feast 40124 Winter Fun 40125 Santa's Visit 40138 Christmas Train 40139 Gingerbread House 40140 Flower Wagon 40141 Bricktober Hotel 40142 Bricktober Train Station 40143 Bricktober Bakery 40144 Bricktober Toys R Us Store Most are predictable, but Christmas Train 40138 and Gingerbread House 40139 are Interesting. Given the numbering these could be mini builds (4013X), though that would put the christmas train in Jan?, or promo polys (like 40140) and the mini builds are only planed th…

I just found someone ready to part with this set for 600$, sealed. Mostly for long term investing, is this a good pick?

This year's Christmas polybag has been discovered and unsurprisingly looks similar to the last tree one in 2013 only thinner. Source: Brickset

Brickset.com has a description of the next Star Wars Advent Calendar. They seem to think it will be the best yet. 75097 Star Wars Advent Calendar (

In the back of the instructions for the Valentine's Day Dinner set, there was this picture showing the next possible small seasonal set of a diorama. No official name just yet same as the other for a few days but it appears to be another couple this time decorating the eggs for Easter. Just noticed this will have some dark red masonry bricks which is fantastic in my opinion.

Just like the Year of the Snake exclusive to China set, LEGO will release yet another this time celebrating the Year of the Sheep (or Goat) in 2015.

So looking at the releases on The Brick Fan, and it shows a new Winter Toy Shop on the horizon next year. I personally think it is a bit disappointing, as there are more areas that surely could have been explored. It will be interesting to see it's design and whether or not it is similar enough to the previous rendition to give the 10199 a hit investment wise. -------- mod update by jaisonline ----- pics and details added. 10249 Winter Toy Shop Ages 12+. 898 pieces.

Although the real name is unknown, it is believed this will be the promotional polybag given out around Valentine's Day in February.

I have a few WVM I was going to hold onto until Christmas season 2015 (retired at that point). Seeing how Santa'sW is almost constantly TOOS, would you unload the WVM this year and start loading up on Santa'sW for Christmas season 2016? (assuming historical retirement schedule of course) Santa's Workshop seems like it will be a massive score EOL. Thoughts?

Hey BPs, just found this site, so helpful. I've been flipping a low volume of WV sets for a few years, but thought I'd get some input on the promo set 40106. Would it be wise to hold on to this set and sell as a bundle with Santa's Workshop after EOL? Sell by itself? It seems the most connected (of the promo sets) to a main WV set. Is anyone else excited about the ROI possibility on Santa's Workshop? I think this will be huge.

*************** Poll added *************** Just seeing this now over on Brickset. Not as good as the Toy Workshop IMHO, but still a pretty cool set, and one that will make another great addition on a winter village layout.

Does anyone have the exact weight of this set? I just bought a sealed box but it feels pretty light compare to other Winter sets. Thanks in advance.

I was considering surprising the fam with one of the winter sets to build for holiday decoration. Given the somewhat discouraging reviews of the Santa Workshop, which of the others would you recommend instead? It has to be reasonably obtainable though, so likely not long since retired sets. Is winter village market a fun set to build and display?

I know that the Lego Star Wars and Lego Friends advent calendars will be big, but what of the the city one? Saw a couple and wonder if they are a good investment.

It seems to me that by now we should either have leaked info/images of Halloween 2014 sets/polybags or we should have a "coming soon" entry at Lego.com. I base this on the fact that last year Lego started selling the 40055 pumpkin on August 31 and the year before was much the same. So, we are two weeks away from when they would normally release the set and there is not any info I cn find. Has anyone found anything out that I haven't been able to find with trusty Googling?

Link to order the Advent Calendar from Amazon: Preorder the LEGO Star Wars Star Wars Advent Calendar 75056 Exclusive Darth Vader -------------------------------- Original post = Speaking of the new banner for SW advent calendar pre-order, I think Amazon's title / heading for the item is pretty funny (underlined for emphasis):

A topic to discuss about the winter sets since the carnival set is known... First, do you think there will be some more winter sets to come, or is the Winter Village Market (10235) the last one, and some kind of a transition with the new carnival theme set (10244) that has been shown ? It would explain why LEGO 10235 has been retired so quickly (if you put aside snow and winter, it's about the same "spirit" as the "10244 carnival mixer" with bunch of small stands around a big roundabout) If the Carnival Theme replaces the Winter Village theme, do you think winter sets will drop in value ? (people focusing on the new carnival theme) I think the winter s…
