January 12, 201510 yr There were a handful left at my local Lego store last week as well, so I picked up one. My second now, since I had one already in my personal collection which I built for the holiday. I wasn't overly impressed with this set when it first came out in 2013, but my opinion changed when I actually built it in December for the first time and added it to my winter village display. The carousel centerpiece is actually quite nice and was a fun build. It will be interesting to see how this set performs compared to the 4 winter village sets that preceded it.

January 13, 201510 yr How much of a sale was it? if indicators of past sales are relevant then i am guessing 50% off. I remember when we were all calling people in Texas Lego shops and having them ship those winter toy stores etc for 50% off. it was great.
January 13, 201510 yr How much of a sale was it? Not much. Just 10% off. But considering its already long gone from the LEGO Shop at Home site, and the stores only have a few left here and there, some discount is better than nothing.
January 13, 201510 yr I've heard that John Lewis maybe selling off their remaining stocks this Spring half-price instore as they did last year. I returned my damaged ones shipped in bin liners and will repurchase if reduced by -50%. Could it come back next year? Maybe.
January 13, 201510 yr Yeah, I think the retiring of that set was more of a European thing last year, it lingered in Lego stores here all summer, but it should be done for good this time.
January 13, 201510 yr WVM.JPG sorry... im somewhat new to this board... what does Resurrected mean? (I know what resurrect means I just dont know what it means pertaining a lego set)
January 13, 201510 yr sorry... im somewhat new to this board... what does Resurrected mean? (I know what resurrect means I just dont know what it means pertaining a lego set) It's a long story, I was taking the Michael ;-) I've annoyed several members regarding this set.
January 13, 201510 yr It's a long story, I was taking the Michael ;-) I've annoyed several members regarding this set. just noticed the very easy to find label... nice one =D
February 11, 201510 yr Is this set actually retired or will be sold again during the Christmas period 2015/2016?
February 11, 201510 yr Is this set actually retired or will be sold again during the Christmas period 2015/2016?It's done. Expect a new winter themed set to be announced around AUG/SEPT if history repeats itself.
February 11, 201510 yr Expect a new winter themed set to be announced around AUG/SEPT if history repeats itself. It seems that the set 10249 will be a "Winter toy shop". What we don't know is if it will be very different from the set 10199.
February 11, 201510 yr There is no indication in the shop Lego website as the set is not there anymore. Even the santa's workshop set 10245 is not there too and we expect it to be available this Christmas. So how you say that Winter Village Market is retired?
February 11, 201510 yr LEGO for the last few years has only brought back the prior years Winter set along with the new one for that year. If you go back 2-3 years they used to have '3' sets out at a time, but they have not done that for at least 2-3 years now so we only expect last years santa's workshop and the new set for 2015.
February 12, 201510 yr It seems that the set 10249 will be a "Winter toy shop". What we don't know is if it will be very different from the set 10199. Good to know! I missed that piece of info somehow...
February 13, 201510 yr Yes, there is very little forewarning of what they will 'bring back' from prior years Winter series. They used to bring back more than they did this year, and next year, you will know about the same time everyone else does by what's at the retailers. They really don't announce much on the winter stuff.
