LEGO's 'Seasonal' line of sets come out during various major holidays every year. These include Christmas, Easter and Valentine's Day to name a few.

Current LEGO 'Seasonal' listings...

Some of the Seasonal sets, like 10216(Winter Village Bakery) and 10222(Winter Village Post Office) have 'appreciation' written all over them if you take into consideration how another discontinued 'Winter' set has appreciated.

Winter Toy Shop 10199

The Winter Toy shop is up 52% from MSRP since 2009. Not bad. Maybe these other 'Winter' sets will follow the same course.

Something tells me Santa isn't scaled to the reindeer or sleigh.

I noticed at Costco all the SW advents are gone, but still a pallet each of HP and Marvel

anyone else see similar or different trends?

My wife is at Costco now and sent me a pic. Just like you said, HP and Marvel advent only, no Star Wars (which is the one we want).

SW advent available at Target online for same price as COstco ($32)

Marvel advent sold out first followed by sw and hp during an ongoing sale now with prices dropping to about 21chf.

I remember last year sw advents were super hard to come by, I managed to flip some for 50plus even in January. Not sure how it's going to pan out here this year for qfll. 

Anyone know what days have mando and baby on the sw advent? I want to pop those two out for my xmas display. Will give the rest to my nieces. 

 

edit - watched a vid. Baby is 22 & mando 24. Should have known.

It may set off some red flags depending on the quantity you've ordered, but it is their stated policy to PM their own ad.

I just placed 1 order for 5 which was the allowable limit.  With the ad they usually limit to 2? I know PM is usually 2 but I won't try that just a change of payment method from RC to GC.

You may get to store and find that they cancelled 4 of them per "your request".

10308 Holiday Main Street

Pics are up and so is the price, Ouch!

That's about what I had pictured.  A trolley with a couple facade type buildings.  What price did you see $150?

$130 but that might be UK so $120 or $100 still possible. It does have the most pieces of any WV set at 1514 but only 65 more than last years and it was still $100  

The first WV Toy shop was $59 remember the outrage by soccer moms when it was remade

100 Euro.  I was hoping it would be bigger with $200 price tag. 

Basically 2x 2 stories shop fronts + trolley + trolley stop + Christmas tree

I can see putting these near the WV Fire Station

"How dare you charge $20 more for the exact same thing !!!"

Overall I think it looks nice, but the building front facade look might be too much of a deviation from the full building line we are used to. At a glance, it doesn't look like a facade modular system where you can connect future front buildings to make a real main street. That probably would have been nice to future proof the line.

Christmas Tree sets are jacked up pretty bad.   Lot of returns coming in for missing pieces and seem to be random / different.  Guess not numbered bags either.  Never opened one yet.  Did weigh mine and range from 780-935 grams.  Probably 75% of them are 805,  then about 10% 780 , 10% 820 and 5% 900+ grams

I built one, and yeah, the unnumbered bags were a pain. Mine wasn't missing anything though. Guess I got lucky.

I built one, and yeah, the unnumbered bags were a pain. Mine wasn't missing anything though. Guess I got lucky.

so we checked an 805 and it was all good,  all pieces accounted for.  Was 10 sealed bags.  Then opened a 935 and had 3 extra bags.  Assume the 900 ones are 2 extra bags.  They weren't different bags and were just duplicates of the original bags.  Removing the 3 bags and putting all contents back in it weighed the 820 so assume the 805 and 820 are good.

Guess I'll check one of the 780.  The bags weigh from like 25 to 90 grams so that could be one.  Problem is the 2 reported missing parts are in different bags altogether.

Most the problems reported have been in the 34TX2 which are actually the newer ones in store.  The 36TX2 I've had the longest and had the 3 that were 2-3 bags over.

Obviously by that there is a lot of packaging errors on these I guess.
