LEGO ICONS Santa's Visit 10293

Product Information

Part of the LEGO Winter Village Collection, this collectible Christmas house buildable model is from a range of creative building sets designed for adult building fans. The base shape at first seems so odd, but turns out great, and I love the rounded corners of the roof. The kit includes 4 different minifigures that can be used to recreate Christmas scenes in and around the house.

It's also nice that they have both this and the 40499 Santa's Sleigh set this year which actually works for both themes in this case! Compared to other sets from the Winter Village series, I was excited not to see a vehicle in the set, as was common for many years.sets of studs for the Christmas house, 2x sets of studs for the mother and daughter minifigures, 1x stud for the tree, and 1x set of studs for the postbox and fence piece.

Having those complicated shapes really adds some visual interest to the set - plus it makes for a floor plan in the back that feels open and roomy, but also still seems contained and enclosed within the building. There’s a variety of parts in this color included in the set, many seen for the first time in this color. At least that's what it felt like opening a large brown card box to reveal this year's Winter Village set. As mentioned before, to allow easy access to her room or nook, the roof can easily slide away from the house.

A Christmas building project to savourSanta’s Visit is part of the LEGO Winter Village Collection; a collection of buildable model kits for adults that celebrate the festive season. While I enjoyed the building process tremendously, I didn’t get the expression of why the set is targeted at adults. Considering the fact that TLG designers produce at least one Christmas tree per year, it’s quite challenging to come up with something new and good-looking.

For it to be more realistic, you’d need a molded element similar to the saxophone that has shown up a few times in the past.If you weren't particularly familiar with Build Together I definitely don't think it would stand out. Extra details complete the cheerful scene with presents, a postbox, and brick-built boughs under the ‘snow’-topped roof. I usually don't complain about instructions having too simple steps or a small number of parts to add per step.

The center of the ground floor is fitted with a large dining table, already decorated with a red runner and candles. At first, I thought my kiddos had fun with yellow markers, but after inspection, I realized they did not touch the instructions (as clearly there would be yellow marks on their fingers and faces). Since the 1960, thousands of sets have been released covering everything from Aliens to the Wild West. The angles are achieved by the use of technic 7L lift arms in reddish-brown (yes, another new re-colored part). I seriously enjoyed my building experience, as there were interesting details or techniques incorporated.The company has approximately 10,000 employees and is the world's third largest manufacturer of play materials. Now we’re back in the interior with an almost finished chimney and a decorated mantle in front of the fireplace. The fence is decorated with a lamppost, which is a new color – a satin white round brick that hasn’t been seen before. Luckily, the minifigs (with Santa as an exception), have double-printed faces, which improve their expressions. The buns, kitchen robot and oven help create that December atmosphere when everyone is baking and the kitchen smells of cinnamon and cookies.
