You need at least two sets to build a proper station so I hope that Lego has a higher limit on this when it comes out because I need a few to flip as well.

It's really nice and all, but I feel like it's missing something. Maybe the color scheme could have been a little more traditional for a village train station? The sand green bricks make it look like there is bad aluminum siding on the wall and the brick face in on the inside of the coffee shop. I would have went with grey and put the brick face on the outside. Also could have used some more decorative elements for the clock tower. 

Still...I like it.

Love the retro bus!

Most of the winter/Christmas seasonal line has always been giving off a feel good vibe of harkening to decades past (40s/50s). Norman Rockwellesque?

Totally agree as my first time seeing it was a bit underwhelming.  The bus is nice, but wish piece count all went to the station instead.  Will be interesting to see how this looks with other recent sets Santa's Workshop and Winter Toy Shop.  

Seems light compared to previous sets. If you take the train out of the picture it looks empty or just a skeleton. Overall decent and love the bus. Good choice of colors on the bus.

Will be getting one regardless to go with the train. 

Video´s up too.

 

The station could be bigger but I hear Lego is customizable so I'm ok with it. Always happy to have a new winter set.

It doesn't look like 1000 pieces set at all. I'm tad disappointed. especially for the price tag.

but the fact is once it retires it will immediately go for 1.5 and later 2x RPP.

I think Lego could have really made a stellar set and bumped the price to 119.95. Ive scene quite a few holiday train stations in Ideas and they are considerably better then this. That being said there is certainly money to be made with this one. Especially if you can get it at a discount............

TLG have been smart because with one set they cater for Xmas series fans, train fans and people who are making their own lego towns.

Set does nothing for me nor my girlfriend - and shes xmas and lego mad so normally wants all these themed sets

Dang, I guess that reduces the chances of a Modular Buildings train station this year.

When I saw the sand green I immediately thought of how I could MOD it for Halloween to accept the ghost train..

I'm gonna need a lot more holiday trains for this season.  And more power...

Would it have been smarter to label it under a Creator 3 in 1 set instead of Winter Village series?

They could have, but they seem intent on keeping sets in this line under $100

Apologies if this has been mentioned before but official RRPs are now up.

USD 80

EUR (Germany / EIRE / ITALY) 70 or 75 and 80 euros in Lego taxed countries

I was bored.  Should be working.  Thought I'd do this instead.

Jang review up.

 

This seems to be out of stock pending retirement until next year at EU SAH.

I think it'll be back next season and the time to sell is before then ;-)

I think it’ll be interesting what happens with this and the train. You would expect the train to finish next year, but what would become of a winter station with no train? Do they retire them together?

AoH did not stop them from retiring the at-at. but either way the train should still be available for most of next year if history holds.
