Is the reindeer a new piece?  I don't recall seeing it before?

The same piece as the  Stag Patronus from the HP set. Just recolored.

Chris McVeigh designed the set. From his interview:

Q: What is your favorite element of this set?

The reindeer, which is all-new with this set! I like to call her Brixen.

Way overpriced - How many pieces did they shove into that tree?

I know that not everybody has the past sets that already have Christmas trees, but I wish they would stop including them.  I hate building them and they don't add to the main build.  They could just do an accessory pack for these things.

Not sure what you're saying, do you like all the tree builds?

I guess its never really bothered me that much. When you used the word hate, I was only joking about going full ninja turtle. Apologies if came across the wrong way.

To me its sorta like a helicopter in any city scenes, its almost expected at this point that a Christmas set will get a Christmas tree. 

Out of Stock...

 

...As expected. Took long enough.

LEGO's perfect timing, I just got the VIP email advertising it.

waiting for GWP info before pulling trigger...

Historically do they hold some back for the general release date?  If so, I think I will buy my limit.  The GWP offerings look scant and ...meh.  Also wonder if that is a function of the crazy year we have had.

Back in stock. 

Anyone have a list of the number of bags for this set?  My Amazon order arrived today, box crushed, label slapped on the front, seals broken on both sides of the box - trying to make sure everything is there.
