I'm thinking the picture of the tree is showing what is actually inside the box, including what looks like maybe a lighted string of lights? Or is that my imagination?

Nope. I just counted the pieces in the top, strong of lights, builds and minifigs and came up with 66 pieces.

PS

I hope the slovenly craptacularness of this ornament and the Santa BB-8 aren't harbingers for this year's WV set.

Don't be so short-sighted... this is the start of a new trend. I can't afford the Taj Mahal, but I damn sure can afford the Taj Mahal box and then glue some carefully selected pieces to the box. It's basically as good as the real thing for 1/1000th the price.

"Good news little Timmy, even though Daddy got laid off, Santa still got you the Lego Minecraft Mountain Cave... box! And some glue!"

 

What. the. flying. fudge.

A for effort on implementing lights (if they are), but holy kebab that's poorly executed.

First picture of the 40261 - Thanksgiving Seasonal set has surfaced:

Found on Bouwsteentjes.info.

First (low-resolution) picture of the 40263 - Christmas Town Square vignette has surfaced:

Looks like a really nice addition to a Christmas town / Winter theme !

Awesome, that will fit in great with my xmas village.

Rumor from Promobricks - looks like we may be getting a WV Train Station to go with last year's train

That's a rumor I've heard before. So maybe there's some truth to it.

I think we'll have an answer on Thursday morning. I suspect that's when the news will drop.

Here's the first picture I've seen of the other winter vignette set.  Looks pretty nice.

I believe it to be this piece: Tile 2 x 2 with Map Street Level with Red 'X' Pattern...https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3068bpb0634&name=Tile 2 x 2 with Map Street Level with Red 'X' Pattern&category=[Tile, Decorated]#T=C&C=2

A leaked picture of the 10259 Winter Train Station is up on reddit, looks good, just hoping those clock faces are printed.
