Guys,

I have a chance to buy 10-20 pcs of the 40293 Christmas Carousel for 13-15 euro. You think I should go for it?

[Secret Squirrel]

£25 on Amazon, bit lower on ebay but maybe seasonal price fluctuation as a Christmas theme. Are you planning on selling immediately or holding on for next Xmas? I've been selling my freebies between £20-£25 this month.

Problem Is that lego may bring out new Xmas box themes next year making this set less desirable. 

[marcinj]

Plan is to keep it 2-3 years.

You should be fine after that period.  It might even survive if it becomes available again, like the snowglobe.

Any news/ leaks of what the 2021 Christmas themed set(s) would be?

Heard there these are this year’s Christmas  GWPs. The first is 40484, Santa’s Front Yard.  The second  is 40489, Mr. & Mrs. Claus’s Living Room 🤷🏽‍♂️

40499 Santa's Sleigh looks like a winner!

Let's be honest.... we're all much more interested in what's going on with Mrs. Claus' Backyard

BA is posting early release  / leaks now??  Unprecedented times for sure.

Santa's sleigh looks nice and I'll definitely be getting a few, but me thinks it may be remade sometime later like the holiday train.

They've seen things no reindeer should ever see.

Not really. But sets are getting to the point where they look more like Playmobil and less “LEGO” in the classic sense.

Aren't they the same as the one in Elf Club House?

They did not call it Elf Club House for nothing

You actually made me go back and look. It’s weird—the box art for the Elf Clubhouse reindeer look slightly different than these. Maybe box art variation or low quality screengrab? I dunno.

-round vs elongated eyes
-white around mouth is different
-white on neck looks different,too

They know the truth.
