Very disappointed in this year's Christmas addition. They cheaped out on the build and didn't even use magnetic couplers for the cars. They also increased the price by $30 for the Christmas set. Am not happy with it this year.
I have been adding to my winter village for about 5 - 6 years now. Compared to all of the previous sets. This one really disappointed me. I felt like size, piece count, price and and overall experience to be a let down. I work in the grocery industry and during the holidays it can be stressful. I look forward to building my holidays sets over the coarse of November to help decompress. I finished the build in a matter of days. Instead of getting to work on it for a while. This is my first bad review but come on Lego you need to do better.
My grandsons and I build a new Lego Christmas house every yeah. The train this year was great addition,was fun to build and gave us a chance to talk while we built it. The boys really enjoyed building it
My grandson will be 8years old in a few days. He has been playing with Legos for five years. It's a challenge that he enjoys. He has learned to organize the pieces and to follow the instructions at a young age because there is nothing to read. The older the age on the box the more he enjoys assembling the project. This has taught him a lot about skills and patiennce.
