Sounds like the next Winter Village set is going to be a Market. No other information as yet, but the source is never wrong.

Sounds interesting. Should be a nice set.

I hope this is true! I love the winter series collection.

Count me in - although I probably would have been in for any Winter Village set!

Same here. We decorate our mantle every Christmas with the village. When kids see it, they go into a dream wonderland!

what this your source?

A poster from Eurobricks who has NEVER led anybody astray. There are very few people I quote about rumors, but he is one of them. He has done this with other sets as well in the past, like Palace Cinema, and has never been wrong.

Oy! My mastery of the English language is deplorable. I was not trying to be snarky if it came off that way. In my own little way I was trying to confirm what your source said with a picture of the (possible) designer holding up a clap board confirming the same.

Think nothing of it. I did not take offense to the question at all. To be honest, I didn't even look at the picture you put up that close until this time to notice what she was talking about. The person in question had made similar statements in the past giving early confirmation about sets that were upcoming, simply stating that "x" set was coming and that more info would be given when it was possible. It was stated that the next Winter Village set was going to be a market, so I thought I would pass it along since it is a very popular theme.

These winter village sets are so awesome looking!

Here's a shot in the dark, a modular style winter hotel or home. Maybe even something like "Santa's Store". I don't know. Any excuse to have a winter build!

LEGO Shop at Home for Australia and the Euros have this now listed as a retired product.
What the........????

Wow. Seems to be listed as retired in all counties except Canada and US.

If this is true, we have a home run here. Extremely short 5-6 month Euro production run with a popular themed set. ...and it retired without notice. Target.com is currently sold-out so there goes buying them for a 90 day return policy. Looks like Amazon has 823 units left.

You know... Everytime I went into a Lego story his past holiday season! I never saw this set. It could have been a slow seller compared to past sets so they give it the hook so soon? I also thought it looked sorts out of place next to the other winter sets as it reminded me of a snow circus.

What the ... 

 

I guess I'd better buy a few!

Selling some m.manhunters will offset the cost. Another option is to buy from target.com to help offset sales tax using the red card.

The cottage said retired last year but came back the following winter.

It was listed as "retired product"? Do you remember which country web sites?

Yep, U.K

Yep, U.K

Do you remember if other counties had the retired tag?

I cant remember for sure, it's possible I checked the US site and it said the same.

I thought on the U.S. site the winter cottage stated "Sold Out" after the holiday season, not retired.

Yeah I thought it was just sold out not listed as retired. It may be incorrect, may be "unretired" and Lego playing games but it is definitely a wrinkle.

I can have some for RRP (shipping included).

Maybe I should take 1 or 2...

 

edit: ok I just bought 2... I'm weak...

Thanks for sharing the news BTW

im in germany.....i really wanted this set and just saw that its retired....paniked and bought 2 for 120 euros each........oh well

Hmmmmm....curious. We'll have to keep an eye on this.

Winter sets are not that popular in Australia anyway. That's probably why it retired here first
