10259 Winter Village Station is the latest addition to the seasonal, holiday themed Creator Expert product line. The set contains 902 pieces, which, if I have my facts straight, makes it the third largest Winter Village set so far. The box has a lot of pretty pictures of the set printed on a wintry blue background with stars and snow falling on already snow covered trees. It is not sealed by strips of plastic tape but glued shut and equipped with two push tabs, which means resealing the set after holidays might get more complicated. When emptied, the box reveals nine numbered bags, four pieces of straight rail, and two instruction booklets plus a sticker sheet for 11 stickers in a bag of their own.

The set contains 902 pieces, which, if I have my facts straight, makes it the third largest Winter Village set so far. The box has a lot of pretty pictures of the set printed on a wintry blue background with stars and snow falling on already snow covered trees. It is not sealed by strips of plastic tape but glued shut and equipped with two push tabs, which means resealing the set after holidays might get more complicated. When emptied, the box reveals nine numbered bags, four pieces of straight rail, and two instruction booklets plus a sticker sheet for 11 stickers in a bag of their own. Manual #1 has 40 steps spread over 48 pages, whereas manual #2 has 92 steps and 64 pages.Three of the bags are numbered '1' and six are numbered '2'.The set includes five minifigures: a bus driver, a barista, a grandmother, a child, and a ticket agent. The bus driver is wearing spectacles and he has a brown beard. He is dressed in a blue jacket with several pockets over a red shirt, black trousers, and a black knitted cap. Around his neck is a red scarf, which is a separate piece. The barista has her brown hair in a ponytail and is wearing a reddish brown apron with an image of a coffee cup and a name tag over a white shirt and sand blue trousers. The bespectacled grandmother has decided to combine a light royal blue knitted (?) sweater with dark red trousers, and has braided her long dark gray hair. The child (a boy) has put on a dark azure hoodie over a lime green striped shirt, dark green trousers, and a dark red baseball cap. The ticket agent has short dark brown hair with a side part. He is wearing a white shirt, a red tie, and a dark blue uniform printed with the Lego City train logo. None of the minifigures have two-sided heads, which is a bit of a letdown. Three of the torsos are printed on both sides, and the barista's legs are the only ones with a print.Stage 1 (i.e. the bags with #1 printed on them) builds, among other things, three of the five minifigures: the bus driver, the grandmother, and the child. After completing the minifigures the build progresses to two mainly black lampposts, both with a green wreath hanging down one side, then to a snowy railway crossing with two red and white boom gates/barriers and two stickered road signs. The final steps of this stage build a bus and three presents on its roof. The bus is mainly yellow and white with a black horizontal stripe running across the sides, a green wreath on each side, an opening front door, and a detachable dark blue roof with a rack for the presents. I thought the bus was a nice build with some neat details (off-center front licence plate, split windscreen) and an extremely charming 1930's or perhaps 1940's look. In my opinion, the bus is so cute it would sell as a small holiday themed set of its own. I was left with 18 spare parts after finishing this stage, so quite a lot of small bits and pieces are included.Stage 2 builds the last two minifigures (the barista and the ticket agent). The main build of the whole set is of course a (train) station. The station has snow covering its roof and the rest is all earthy tones; browns, gray, sand green, and some black. I spied with my little eye quite innovative parts usage, namely microphones and friction cylinder bits as columns/pillars, and the technique used for angling the clock tower was very neat indeed. There is some repetition and stacking of small parts involved in the building of the station. I thought that the 1x6 sticker with 'Winter Village' printed on it was very hard to align, but luckily the stickers can be peeled off at least once without damage. I strongly recommend using tweezers when battling them. The building has no back wall, which is no surprise for those who have purchased one of the older sets (such as 10245 Santa's Workshop or 10249 Winter Toy Shop). The very final step is attaching the two lampposts from stage 1 to the station platform, and if I counted correctly there were 17 leftover parts.The build is not very complex or time-consuming. I, personally, made only about five minor mistakes (most of them color mishaps) during the whole of the build. The bus seems to be pretty sturdy and the three presents are, I'm glad to say, not loose on the roof rack, which prevents them falling off when the bus is played with. However, the back seat of the bus came off every time when trying to remove a minifigure from it. I also noticed that the grandmother cannot sit at the back of the bus because her hairpiece is too long, but the child fits in perfectly even though he is standing on the seat. The railway crossing boom gates/barriers cannot be fully raised up, but the bus can still be driven past them. The coffee shop side of the station is quite small, but there is lots of room for the ticket counter. I would have added a little more height to the station, a ladder to the attic, and a waiting area near the front entrance. Unless one has three or four hands, I would not recommend picking the station up when the four track pieces (including the crossing) are attached to the building. The two are connected only by four studs, after all.As suggested by the box art, I did combine last year's 10254 Winter Holiday Train with Winter Village Station and noticed the train in last year's set happens to be exactly four rail pieces long. Also both the color scheme of the small waiting platform in 10254 and the structure of its lamppost match those of Winter Village Station very well indeed. There are no actual instructions on how to combine Winter Holiday Train with Winter Village Station. Since the train track of the older set is perfectly circular, the four straight train tracks need to be added in batches of two to the opposing sides of the circular track which means the railway crossing will not fit right next to the two-rail-pieces-long station, as shown in the instructions. I think this might perhaps cause some head-scratching among some of the newer and/or younger fans of Lego.Some of the bricks and pieces in Winter Village Station are either new, newly recolored, or otherwise slightly on the rarer side: the three clocks (Element ID 6195246) represent a completely new and currently exclusive print. This set marks the first appearance of the dark blue 4x6x2/3 roof piece (6195326), the gray microphone (6199163), the medium nougat 1x1x2 design brick (6192919), the medium nougat 1x2 technic brick with a hole in its side (6192920), and the yellow 1x6x2 arch (6192924). The pieces making a second appearance (or the ones I was able to spot) are grandmother's dark gray hair (6129149) the first appearance being in 70751 Temple of Airjitzu, the brick yellow 2x2 newspaper tile (6135300) the first appearance being in 75827 Firehouse Headquarters, the black 2x2 round plate with one hollow stud in the center (6195325), and the brick yellow 1x2 2/2 angular plate (6174925). And finally, pieces that have been in three sets (or those I noticed) are the white 1x2 tile with 'Ticket' printed on it (6192534) and the new-for-2017 1x1 round plate with a horizontal shaft (6196548) in black.On the whole, I think 10259 Winter Village Station is a lovely addition to the Winter Village theme and it was sorely needed, too. There have been two trains in the product line, but no stations until this set. The build may not be complex, but is a lot of fun, especially if one is a fan of winter, trains or old looking automobiles. I'm already excited to find out what next year's Winter Village set will be!

I'm a fan of the winter sets and I purchase them every year to display on my mantle. I found this set to be a real let down in the series. It has a fairly large number of pieces, but the overall design is small and doesn't have the same WOW factor as some of the previous sets. It has some nice interior detailing such as the expresso machine, but the exterior is rather bland. The clock tower portion consumed about 1/3 my build time with a really overbuilt structure to hold the clock faces as well as a strangely designed bit to allow the entrance to sit at an angle. The entire structure seems unnecessary as it doesn't add to the looks of the set since you're covering it all up with other pieces.

I eagerly purchased this as soon as it was available because I thought that it would go well with the Holiday Train that I received last year as a gift. While it does go very well with that train, I was not completely satisfied with this set.The set was really easy to put together- a lot easier than most in the Creator Expert line of products. While the angled corner door is an interesting touch, it really isn't all that complicated from a building standpoint. Speaking of that angled corner door- when the building is done- it leaves a noticeable gap between the angled door portion and the other sides of the building. At first I thought that I made a mistake- but nope, that's the way that it is supposed to be.It also seems a bit small compared with the Holiday ... MoreI eagerly purchased this as soon as it was available because I thought that it would go well with the Holiday Train that I received last year as a gift.

At first I thought that I made a mistake- but nope, that's the way that it is supposed to be.It also seems a bit small compared with the Holiday Train itself. If you pull the train up to the station, some of the back end of the train hangs off the edge of the platform by a considerable amount.I was also somewhat disappointed by the level of detail in this set. Most of the Creator Expert 'Winter' sets are really detailed... this one isn't, unless you count the snow on the platform as 'details'. The bus is interesting, but again- short on details for a product in the Expert line.With all of that said- I still like this set. Despite its small size, the price-per piece is relatively affordable, especially if you include the four track pieces that come with the set. The station does fit really well into the Winter series.There is one other important thing to mention. If you are buying this to go with the Holiday Train- keep in mind that the Holiday Train includes only circular pieces of track. If you add this station to your holiday train- you will have a gap of four straight pieces on the other side of the oval. You will either need to buy additional pieces of straight track, or have the two pieces of this station on one side of the oval- and the level crossing on the other side of the oval. (I just used extra pieces of track I had laying around from other train sets that I have purchased)

At first I thought that I made a mistake- but nope, that's the way that it is supposed to be.It also seems a bit small compared with the Holiday Train itself. If you pull the train up to the station, some of the back end of the train hangs off the edge of the platform by a considerable amount.I was also somewhat disappointed by the level of detail in this set. Most of the Creator Expert 'Winter' sets are really detailed... this one isn't, unless you count the snow on the platform as 'details'. The bus is interesting, but again- short on details for a product in the Expert line.With all of that said- I still like this set. Despite its small size, the price-per piece is relatively affordable, especially if you include the four track pieces that come with the set. The station does fit really well into the Winter series.There is one other important thing to mention. If you are buying this to go with the Holiday Train- keep in mind that the Holiday Train includes only circular pieces of track. If you add this station to your holiday train- you will have a gap of four straight pieces on the other side of the oval. You will either need to buy additional pieces of straight track, or have the two pieces of this station on one side of the oval- and the level crossing on the other side of the oval. (I just used extra pieces of track I had laying around from other train sets that I have purchased)
I was excited to hear that we were getting a station to go with last year's holiday train. Last year's set definitely needed more than just the bench we got with it. I love the ticket window and the cafe inside the station. The clock tower part of the station is cool. The bus is very fun too, nice unique look. Lots of little things around the station are nice too like the chain link rope at the ramp, nice railroad crossing pieces, good stickers, etc. My only gripe is the overall size of the station. Just one bench for waiting on the train, needed at least two I think.I actually purchased two sets in order to add a bigger waiting area and expand the inside of the cafe some. I thought it turned out very nice, I uploaded a couple images of my expansion. I wish the ... MoreI was excited to hear that we were getting a station to go with last year's holiday train.

I thought it turned out very nice, I uploaded a couple images of my expansion. I wish the set was really this size because I had a lot of left over pieces from the second set after my expansion, so the cost of a second set was a little much for what I added. But I'm happy with my result and my new train station is already up and running in my Winter Village.
Having purchased the Winter Holiday Train last year as my first foray into the Winter Village line, and loaded it up with the optional power functions, it was great to see a matching station released this year.Sadly, I feel this set just isn't of the same quality as the train itself - The model of the station is great, but like many other reviewers I'm puzzled by the bus. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice little model but I feel it doesn't gel well with the station and train, and looks a bit like the awkward outsider. I would have much preferred to lose the bus and bolster the pieces used in the station with full external walls and a complete roof, rather than just a facade.Having said that, the station is a fun build with lots of interesting ideas and techniques ... MoreHaving purchased the Winter Holiday Train last year as my first foray into the Winter Village line, and loaded it up with the optional power functions, it was great to see a matching station released this year.Sadly, I feel this set just isn't of the same quality as the train itself - The model of the station is great, but like many other reviewers I'm puzzled by the bus.

I would have much preferred to lose the bus and bolster the pieces used in the station with full external walls and a complete roof, rather than just a facade.Having said that, the station is a fun build with lots of interesting ideas and techniques - I especially enjoyed the way the clock tower is put together, along with the 45 degree angled door underneath. The additional straight track and level crossing are a welcome addition, extending the sparse circular track from last year (helpful to position the train on a long straight surface too, such as a windowsill, when you have no space for the loop track), and the extra fir trees allow a bit more external theming.Overall, it's worth a purchase if you want something to complement your train, but prepare to feel slightly short changed.
I bought this set along with the winter train from 2016. I had begun building the station on Nov 29 as kind of a celebratory event to ring in the Christmas season. After I completed the first book build (the tracks and bus) I came to the harrowing discovery that I was missing a piece to the station. I decided to keep building and work around that piece until I discovered I was missing more and more pieces. It soon dawned on me that I must be missing an entire poly bag with some essential and unique pieces. (1x4 mint green tiles and much more). I also discovered I had more heads than I did bodies and a total of six clock tower faces. I suspect that the missing bag was swapped with a duplicate bag.I spent a good four hours sorting the remaining pieces and taking ... MoreI bought this set along with the winter train from 2016.

I also discovered I had more heads than I did bodies and a total of six clock tower faces. I suspect that the missing bag was swapped with a duplicate bag.I spent a good four hours sorting the remaining pieces and taking inventory of what I was missing. I used the Missing Brick order feature on shop.lego.com only to find a lot of those pieces I'm missing from my set are Out of Stock, Backordered, or limited in supply. One such tile was unrecognizable by the system (2x2 tile printed newspaper cover). Like a dummy, I submitted my missing piece order.After a few days, I wondered if Lego would just accept my opened, partially built set and send me a replacement. I contacted customer service which stated that they'd rather not do that. They did assist in adjusting the order with the 2x2 newspaper, but the parts are still backordered or out of stock. So it may be a while, perhaps after Christmas, before I can even finish the station.
Ever since I received it from my mother and father on Christmas Day, I have been excited to get the opportunity to build the LEGO Winter Village Station.The railway crossing, the first build in this set, is a simple build that uses few pieces to create a common element from the real world. The bus is an elegant and well-crafted vehicle that provides transport for the passengers. It also acts as a test to determine the height limit for the railway crossing gates. The final build, the Village Station, is a cleverly-pieced-together building that features many unique building techniques, such as with the clock tower and the 45-degree-angle doorway. Each and every detail, from the side railing to the ticket booth, and from the coffee stand to the schedule signs, this ... MoreEver since I received it from my mother and father on Christmas Day, I have been excited to get the opportunity to build the LEGO Winter Village Station.The railway crossing, the first build in this set, is a simple build that uses few pieces to create a common element from the real world.

Each challenge that was presented to me throughout the assembling process was not a difficult one, but rather a fun, relaxing, and helpful one. This is definitely a set I would recommend to a friend!

Working the night shift didn’t deter me from completing this amazing Lego set! After anxiously awaiting its arrival for almost a week the FedEx Man brought this set along with the Holiday Train Ride set to my door this morning. I reluctantly set it aside since work was looming and I did not want to start this model only to have to side Line the build process while I went to work. Needless to say after I got off at 1 am! I rushed home and eagerly began putting pieces together. It took me approximately 4.5 hours to complete, but was well worth it. There were A LOT of small pieces and at times I thought a few crucial ones were already missing. I perceived and was awarded with a very fine looking train station. Every aspect of the build was enjoyable and nothing became ... MoreWorking the night shift didn’t deter me from completing this amazing Lego set!

There were A LOT of small pieces and at times I thought a few crucial ones were already missing. I perceived and was awarded with a very fine looking train station. Every aspect of the build was enjoyable and nothing became monotonous. The bus was a neat little side build, but I honestly would’ve preferred another train car, like say perhaps a proper passenger car. Something along the lines of 10015 or maybe reissue the passenger car that came with the first holiday train. Maybe next year that’ll be the set... all in all this was a good set and well worth the price. I highly recommend it!
I feel the Winter Village Station is a bit disappointing, and I say that for a few reasons. First off, I really like how the set overall looks, it's a great display model for Christmas. The minifigures are nothing new, but they fit the build well. The bus is cool, I like how the door opens (as well as the roof), but some of the curves and such of it look a bit odd to me. There aren't that many stickers, but as I've said before, I prefer printed elements. The interior has good detail, but there isn't much play space, but I don't think this set is necessarily a 'play' set. Lastly, the price-to-part ratio is great, but the volume-to-price ratio isn't as strong; the build isn't that big, and there are a lot of small pieces, and even the box surprised me at how much ... MoreI feel the Winter Village Station is a bit disappointing, and I say that for a few reasons.

I hate to write anything negative about Lego because you guys have been a part of my life since I had one. But this set really let me down, it didn't include the bus or any of the figures in addition to that there was multiple missing pieces. The bags weren't cut open or torn didn't appear to be resealed or anything. I tried to return it to the store I bought it and it wouldn't let me because of the missing pieces. It being such a rare thing that something like this happens the store's policy was very strict. But for $80 I'm stuck with a set that I can't even put all the way together. It just really bums me out because my father used Legos to bond with me and I'm trying to use them to bond with my son and we couldn't even complete the set together then we went to ... MoreI hate to write anything negative about Lego because you guys have been a part of my life since I had one.

I'm just surprised you guys have a high level of quality control normally I don't know how something like this slipped past and because of that I'm 80 bucks out and my son doesn't even want to use any of his other Legos now because he's so disappointed.
