exracer327 Posted September 20, 2019 Posted September 20, 2019 Nice looking tree, but I bet they'll be giving that away for years to come. Quote
KShine Posted September 20, 2019 Posted September 20, 2019 I like that tree set - Certainly worth holding off on buying the house until I can get the tree (some wind up feature would be cool). Quote
Phil B Posted September 20, 2019 Posted September 20, 2019 42 minutes ago, BrickLegacy said: Nice tree but underwhelming for a holiday promo Not sure why you say that. Looks like a substantial build (I'm guessing 200-300 pieces), and the tree (and train) rotates on the base. If this is underwhelming for a holiday promo, then the GB GWP was too, and so was the Santa Snowglobe. Both of those were great to build and display, and did wonderfully in terms of resale. Quote
Dr Jedi Posted September 20, 2019 Posted September 20, 2019 The rotating aspect is nice, and it's a well built tree. But I've long since grown tired of this type of promo - sets like the box last year are so underwhelming. Really wish they would get back to these sets being adjunctive to the Winter Village. Quote
KvHulk Posted September 20, 2019 Posted September 20, 2019 Are we sure it's a set and not just a box with a picture of a tree...? 4 2 Quote
MrToes16 Posted September 20, 2019 Posted September 20, 2019 It's not a bad looking set overall. It's nicely decorated and the spinning function makes it interesting. However, almost every holiday set comes with some form of tree so it's not like this is totally unique. For a GWP, (likely for over $99), I think this could have tried to set a bar for build quality. I would have liked to see less plates and more curved pieces to give it a little more natural look. Maybe if the train looked more like a mini version of the Holiday Train would have been nice. This looks a little too comparable to the tree from the Winter Toy Shop set. Quote
ravenb99 Posted September 20, 2019 Posted September 20, 2019 I like it. In for a few hundred. 3 Quote
$20 on joe vs dan Posted September 20, 2019 Posted September 20, 2019 this could start a new holiday trend of ever growing micro builds of the 'town" christmas tree...basically what's happening in real life...I'm sure there are tons of AFols looking for a cool way to display their MOC micro builds and what better than a massive brick-build christmas tree at the center of their LEGO town Quote
exracer327 Posted September 21, 2019 Posted September 21, 2019 I'm wondering which parts rotate (based upon the box). Entire tree or just the train, or maybe parts of it including the train? Could be interesting. Quote
TheOrcKing Posted September 22, 2019 Posted September 22, 2019 It is a nice tree seeming to mix elements from past Winter Village designs ....which would explain the sense of deja vu this is giving me. Quote
lodibricks Posted September 22, 2019 Posted September 22, 2019 It's nice for what it is, but trees are the Christmas/Winter version of City helicopters. 4 1 Quote
MrToes16 Posted October 29, 2019 Posted October 29, 2019 November calendar is out...$120 purchase needed to get this tree. Little steep. Quote
odysea11 Posted October 29, 2019 Posted October 29, 2019 Ouch.....may be a deal breaker for many.... Quote

KShine Posted October 29, 2019 Posted October 29, 2019 Nov 29 through Dec 2 - Is that later than usual? Quote

Last year the Carousel was available after the Black Friday...started on Dec 1st. This year they will have the tree available during Black Friday. Edited October 29, 2019 by MrToes16 Quote
fuzzy_bricks Posted October 29, 2019 Posted October 29, 2019 I hate building the trees for the Winter Village sets so this doesn't do anything for me. Even if this is bigger and spins I don't know that's unique enough to drive big demand, but I'm usually wrong about that kind of thing. Quote

They look nice at the end but man they can be redundant. Props to those who build those huge displays with lots of detailed flora. Quote
Dr Jedi Posted October 29, 2019 Posted October 29, 2019 There have been two holiday GWP's for years. I thought the Black Friday GWP was usually the second of the two. If 40293 was the Black Friday set, when was 40292 available last year? Was it December, or earlier in November? Quote
