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 through dec?  Also more bricktober mini modulars.

Rooting for the Christmas train

I liked the Bricktober sets and have a set on my desk at work. I'm actually pretty happy to see them continue the line. I do find it funny though because my Toys R Us' still have them in stock.

The numbering for 40138 Christmas Train and 40139 Gingerbread House are indicative of the monthly mini-build series (see June 40131 Parrot; july 40132 Whale; August 40133 Kangaroo) though these would make them the builds for January and February, which seems a little late.  Or, are these the Brick Wall sets?

The Brick Fan has some early images of the two Christmas sets up. These are Winter Fun (40124) and Santa’s Visit (40125). This is apparently an image from the back of the instruction book on the upcoming Thanksgiving set.

Santa's visit is cool but these front door sets are really unimaginative.

Somebody mixed up the green and yellow lights on the light standard, errr, xmas tree in Santa's Visit. And how come they went back to the old fashioned 10199 Toy Workshop wreath instead of the new and improved 10249 wreath!

New wreath would have bumped up the price to $11

So, out of curiosity: which seasonal set would be more valuable in the future? The 40138 Holiday Train or the 40139 Gingerbread House ?

Should be GH.

Sell them now and do something else with that money.  Otherwise you will need to wait an entire year for the value to go up which is not guaranteed.  I always flip promos like they're hotcakes.  I don't invest in them.

They are easy to store and ship so I actually buy them up as cheap as possible now and then flip them the next year for a profit of 10 to 15 each.  

These seem to be around $25 w free shipping. Is it better to flip these this year or wait til next season. 

40124 and 40125 now available on LEGO Shop at Home.  Train still getting added to carts $99+.

Thanks for the heads up!

Interesting that those aren't listed when you click on Categories - > Seasonal. Have to find them by item #.

Thank you for posting that!  Time to use up some of my VIP points.

I am guessing their search index is hosed.  they do not show up under "whats new" either, but they are both tagged with seasonal and new.  would also explain why their search keeps redirecting back to the home page...

 

either way grabbed 5 of each because i am not sure these will last till the gingerbread house. though with the search issues they just might....

They are under "what's new" but a few pages back.

Sorry if this has been asked; on Black Friday, if my LEGO store has Holiday Trains remaining, will $100 buy get me a train and a gingerbread house?

all depends on your store. worth trying since you'll be  there

Technically, the promotion ends November 13.  But it doesn't hurt to ask.

40124 and 40125 now available on LEGO Shop at Home again. They previously said they were available Nov 16th, but now they appear in stock. Limit 5 each.
