I really like these seasonal Christmas sets and this new model didn’t disappoint. The highlight is undoubtedly the hot air balloon that sits cheerfully on top of the set. The entire footprint isn’t too wide, allowing you to display it on a mantel or windowsill with other decorations. The build was pretty standard and engaging as usual. I love all the slides for sorting the mail!
Beautiful set with billowing snowy rooftops that are easy to take on and off for easy play. Love the hot air balloon (tip: put a 1x1 flower on top to keep the light on!). Love the mail sorter, too!
Beautiful Christmas display for adults. Interactive fun play for both kids and adults, too.
This was an awesome set for all ages, good challenging build and good playing build, the set has so many features, love the hot air balloon and sorting mail organizer.
Love Winter Village. Collecting for over 10 years. I can’t wait to see what’s next. My only comment on this one is that the box was partially crushed when it arrived. Which was surprising. I’m glad I wasn’t giving it as a gift. Again, it’s minor but it did kind of make me pause with disappointment. Nothing I think you folks could have done. But wanted to point out just the same.
While the set is cute, it seems like a real departure from the rest of the sets in the winter village collection. As another reviewer said, this looks more like a duplo set. Kind of a strange color scheme and not up to the usual winter village standards. I believe there is already a post office from previous years, so unless you are a die hard collector, this one may not be worth it. That being said, the seal is really cute, and I'm always interested to see how the Christmas tree in each of these sets is designed. The one in this set is very different from the other sets as well. Not a bad thing.
Not really impressed. Don’t care for the dull, boring sand blue color scheme. Not at all festive. Hot air balloons do fly in winter but am ambivalent about the inclusion. Could use balloon elsewhere and modify the set. Will fit into my winter village somehow.
