LEGO Creator Winter Village Collections Santa's Visit 10293

My three year old daughter is obsessed with Lego, so we filled her advent calendar this year with all the holiday, winter, and Christmas Lego available this season. She’s very adept at reading the diagrams and working with small pieces, so this set wasn’t too hard to do together despite the age rating! This was by far our favorite holiday set! First, the build took a delightfully long time, but the designers sprinkled lovely delight all the way through. First you build the light up tree, which delighted my preschooler and also her visiting grandpa, who spent much of his build “support” time pushing it down to make it glow. Then early on the main house you build the kitchen and the delightful cookie mixer. My daughter LOVED that the child was a little pigtailed girl ... MoreMy three year old daughter is obsessed with Lego, so we filled her advent calendar this year with all the holiday, winter, and Christmas Lego available this season.

Then early on the main house you build the kitchen and the delightful cookie mixer. My daughter LOVED that the child was a little pigtailed girl like her, and that her room was decorated with space stuff (glad it doesn’t all have to be Lego Friends puppies and horses for little girls…). Then the last thing built is the amazing santa-down-the-chimney, which is quite clever. The only really tough build part that was well beyond my kiddo was attaching the roof, which was definitely an advanced build design. Top marks, my favorite set bought in 2022!

Love the set! It really adds to the magic around my house for the Holidays! One brain fart on this one. The Dad, Gary, likes to take his scarf off when he comes in from the cold. He looks around for a good spot for his scarf, but ends up leaving it on the floor, in a chair, on the table, under the tree with the presents, and sometimes when he’s had a little too much hot chocolate, he leaves it outside by the mailbox! The mom, Betsy, gets after Gary when she sees his scarf lying around. She reminds him that they don’t live in a barn and that he needs to set a better example for their daughter, Margo, on the importance of keeping a tidy home. For a long time, Gary’s only solution was to wear his scarf inside and swallow his feelings on being too sweaty and ... MoreLove the set! It really adds to the magic around my house for the Holidays!

She reminds him that they don’t live in a barn and that he needs to set a better example for their daughter, Margo, on the importance of keeping a tidy home. For a long time, Gary’s only solution was to wear his scarf inside and swallow his feelings on being too sweaty and uncomfortable to enjoy his own home with his family. One day a lightbulb went off for Gary! He remembered he had some spare Legos lying around the house, and being the handy husband that he was, he decided to build a custom coat rack for his scarf! There was even a perfect spot for it right by the foyer! This solved the scarf predicament for the family and made Betsy so so happy! She couldn’t wait to show off Gary’s craftsmanship to all the family and friends visiting for the Holidays this year! She just loves to brag on Gary’s ability to build. They now all enjoy cozy evenings by the fire where they drink hot cocoa and eat cookies. Gary is no longer too sweaty to spend time indoors with his family! What a happy ending for the Riddle’s!

First off, I am so glad this isn’t RED! The blue is great, frosty for winter, but feels like it would be cozy and warm inside.I am disappointed in the number of and style of the mini figures. To have only a “mom, dad & girl" doesn’t add to this set. My young son was turned off by this too. The mini figs feel out of place with this set. The man is wearing a scarf and she is drinking “something”, yeah that makes them belong in a Christmas setting. They feel like afterthoughts that were grabbed from the leftover bin. They’re not even placed in the set during the build to start your imaginationOverall the set is good, but the figures lack connection and cohesiveness with it. I like adding extra figures from Advent calendars etc, but this is the first set I feel the ... MoreFirst off, I am so glad this isn’t RED!

I like adding extra figures from Advent calendars etc, but this is the first set I feel the need to replace the originals. I will look for ones with winter apparel and pets too. A festive group will make this a warmer place.
