Customer Reviews for LEGO - Icons Holiday Express Train Building Set 10361

Verified Purchase:Yes
This train is exactly what I would expect for what it is. It's meant to be stylized and have play value rather than be extremely detailed. I had a fun time building it, and I have fun watching it run around the base of my Christmas tree.
I will say that it takes some deliberate and careful effort to make it run smoothly. As long as you make sure the moving parts are put together loosely, and the wheels can move side-to-side a bit, it should run just fine.
Also, I've seen that the 3d printed part has gotten a lot of hate. I'm afraid I have to agree. The functionality that we get from 3d printing it rather than brick-building it doesn't look very good at all. I would rather have a brick-built micro-scale train with no moving parts than this 3d printed part. I hope we don't get anything else like this piece in the future.

We had a blast putting this together as a family. Our youngest put together the simplest bag and we all worked together for the rest.

Don’t waste your money

Poor build. Tiny unnecessary pieces. No Easter eggs. Does NOT run on track. Plain. For children. NOT 18+. Pieces don’t fit together well. Complete junk. Don’t waste your money. Not even any nice pieces other than the little 3D train. Very poor representation from Lego. Mine is back in the box. What a waste.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Oh no! Sorry that everything wasn’t awesome with your new Holiday Express Train set and that the pieces aren't holding together as they should, that certainly doesn't sound right. Please reach out to us at LEGO.build/Service-BV so we can help you with these issues.

I have been a collector of the Lego Christmas since it came out. I was disappointed to get another train. I feel like there are several other items, school house, church or other options that could have been considered and more original than another train. And very disappointing to see the price go up and the build below avg.

My son loved this build and all of the tiny secrets it holds! However, it was missing a couple pieces 😔

Adding the motor was difficult. Not clear on assembly of motor assembly. Train didn’t run well after assembly. Took 3 days with help from facebook chats.

I get excited about the winter village collection reveal every year and purchased every set. I purchased this one even though the reviews weren’t great and boy were they right. Not worth the money like you have had in years past. Build was okay but hard to mesh with other trains in previous years.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
