So cool and highly detailed!!!

I love this set so much. I love the whole house and the minifigures. It truly captures the real gingerbread house (the one you Can eat) the build was really good and I had no trouble putting the roof panels on. (My feedback for the people who are having trouble with the roof would be to double check if you built it right. Overall I love this set and I hope to see more awesome sets in the future.
I would recommend this to a friend!

A disappointing addition to the Winter Village
on October 14, 2019
Posted by: ljg76543
When I first saw this kit, I was very excited. I have the small version Lego put out a few years ago and it's great. When I realized that it was the new addition to the Winter Village, I didn't think it would fit but decided to give it a chance. Unfortunately, after building it, I'm very disappointed.
First the build: Most of it is very easy to do. Some new pieces for me which was nice, but the problems come up with 2 parts. The roof and one of the walls. The top left wall is very wobbly and needs at least one more connecting piece towards the top to keep it from coming apart at the merest touch.
The roof above the bathroom was alright when placing but the other side was horrible. The instructions are fairly clear, but it's still hard to see, even with the yellow outlines, where the underside pieces go. And even placed correctly, when put together, the two roof sides don't match up and are crooked. I put them on and off and adjusted about 5 times before just building backwards so at least it looked fine. Even when it matches the pictures, the roof in that area is slightly off (one side is about 1/4 inch further in than the other and not flush) that is noticeable when looking at it.
Final product: It's cute on its own, however, I think they lost a lot of chances to really go for the gingerbread house theme. There are a handful of chocolate bars that are buried on a chair/bed. A few colorful pieces on the roof. That's about it.
The gingerbread people are cute, but if Lego can design a 3D bottle that they can hold, why is the baby printed on a 1x2 flat brick? For the money, we should have gotten more than 2 mini-figs and a printed brick baby.
The extra builds: The snowblower is pretty cool. Thumbs up for that. The rest? Oversized: the carriage and rocking horse are huge and considering the baby is a flat brick and can't use the horse, why was it put in there? The presents are random and very pastel colored. This is a gingerbread house with a Christmas tree, yet the presents are light blue and pink and have a pretzel. Makes no sense at all.
Finally, the colors. If this is part of the Winter Village, why is the brown the wrong color? The other buildings all use a reddish brown. This one is solid brown. It looks ok (will try to attach pictures) next to the fire station, but does stand out. Also, while I like the pink and purple sparkly bricks for the stained glass by themselves, they don't go at all! Totally the wrong colors. Green and red would have at least tied it into the other buildings better AND better in the actual kit itself.
Pros: I do like the gingerbread people. The female has pink frosting in her head, the man blue. I like that they used the lighted brick in the fireplace (though, I had to readjust the final pieces because the hole is too small to actually press the smoke down far enough to trigger the light) and it's a clever use of how to turn the light on.
Overall, this was a great idea in concept, but very disappointing in real life. I almost would rather have bought this as a separate piece on its own and have a second one to buy that actually fit into the Winter Village concept.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Sweet set!

This set was so much fun to build and very cute! My 5-year old son helped me build it over the course of a couple of evenings. Installing the roof panels was a little tricky, they just need moderate pressure to snap on. The instructions were very clear, we had no issues with the build. I thought I might be missing a couple of the brown pieces from bag 1, but I found them in bag 2. We are just starting to put together a Christmas village at our house, so we have missed getting the older sets in the series. This will make a great start and looks wonderful as a standalone piece. The house is adorable, accessories and gingerbread family Minifigures are so much fun!
I would recommend this to a friend!
