I don't like it. Bunch of mini builds instead of one nice build.

With prices as of late, this one seems priced surprisingly low. LEGO must be feeling that Christmas spirit.

I agree. Plus I would have rather them upped the price to have a more completed design. Feels like they tried to do too much here within a $99 msrp.

Yeah I'm OK with the price - but I dunno. Doesn't match with previous winter Village with the obvious facade only and more modern style of buildings.

Overall I think it looks nice, but the building front facade look might be too much of a deviation from the full building line we are used to. At a glance, it doesn't look like a facade modular system where you can connect future front buildings to make a real main street. That probably would have been nice to future proof the line.

And that thing took years to appreciate. With two sets you can make a couple nice buildings here. Maybe I'll buy twice as many & sell in pairs.

Will the trolley work on these tracks on 10259 Winter Village Station? Perhaps that set may even get more of a boost if it can get incorporated smoothly.

You said the same thing in 2013 with WVM 10235 I think this one is a little bit better?

I was going to flip the bowling alley & keep the modular, may reverse that. Modular looks kinda bland, the bowling alley is pretty sweet. Will build the windmill first, think that looks the best. Prob should have gotten the Venetian. Did not realize it synced up with modular builds. There are tons of these on ebay. They should rename it the Bricklink Reseller Program.

Now have the Delorean on display. Looks good but it’s smaller than I had expected , especially when it’s close to the Ecto-1 set. Saying that , Ecto-1 is dwarfed by the 1989 Batmobile so yeh.

Thanks, gang. Instant approval for me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looks like it is the current trend on Amazon.

I will ad this to those who think secrets are outed by Youtube. I will agree that any and all competition hurts and affects the market but I think the masses in Lego now has more to do with Covid happening, the economy, people looking for alternate ways of making income and Amazon opening their gates. You can tell people exactly how to do something to be successful and 99% will still not do it. They may be initially motivated but that enthusiasm will die off. Most will simply not put the effort into fully ingesting the information to be able to properly apply it. There are countless speakers out there who are asked the same question of why they would share what they know. Their answer is they enjoy what they are sharing and most people will make no use of the information anyway. If the case were otherwise we would not have the number of paycheck to paycheck people that we do. With the internet there is information out there for anyone in any field that will show them the way. Most still do nothing or make only temporary improvements.

Well, since my name was called out, I can throw you a few Fire Bikes worth of knowledge. If you want the synopsis, here it is: There is no one watching youtube videos that will influence the secondary value of a lego set, so don’t worry about it. My most watched video was on the Bugatti Veyron technic set and I encouraged people to consider buying the Speed Champion version because the $/sq ft of the box was so much higher (more efficient to store), it was much closer to retirement, and I thought it would outperform after retirement. I think there were about 150k views while the Speed Champion was still 11.99 everywhere. How much influence do you think my video had? How many large Bugattis did I buy? 2. How many little Bugattis did I buy? 40-50. I just wish I hadn't sold them all at $90. How much did my video influence the market? 0. Did I enjoy making it? Yes. There have been countless articles, videos, websites, books, and podcasts about Lego investing. It is not a secret. Don’t give anyone so much credit that they can influence the market. Legos are not Doge or Gamestop. They are not liquid assets. Selling Lego is not easy work. The masses are looking for easy. The real arbitrage and resale money is made elsewhere, and most often not in Lego. You don’t hear much talk about how to buy surplus, how to amass 1000’s of a set, abandoned cargo, store buyouts, ect… Buying last minute from Walmart is chump change. Although I do remember scoring about 10 last minute Town Halls at retail from Walmart thanks to a post here. So what was my motivation to start making videos? Did I want to be an Idiot? No, I wanted to diversify my income stream. Brickpicker had just released a book on Lego investing and was looking to diversify the web site. I offered to make videos and support Brickpicker with a split of ad revenue. They paid me about $300 over a year and half as my share and they gave me a cool Brickpicker polo shirt. I hope the videos are still generating a little revenue for the site. I really enjoyed making them as I am an educator at heart, but time and space pulled me away. I will be honest that I don’t have a thick skin for online hate either. I switched gears to importing and selling chocolate from all over the world. I just started making my own too. So let me know if you want some amazing chocolate. I still sell Lego because it is fun but less than 100k per year as a small timer. I still relish the day I sold my first 20 #7655 Clone Trooper battle packs for $40 a piece. It still brings a smile to my face, so I hope that is why everyone is here on Brickpicker. I hope that it is fun for you. So don’t put down people that make vides and try to make money off them. Everyone can make it fun in their own way. The only idiots are those that will buy because someone told them too. I have made this mistake (I think I still have some Cinderella lipstick around somewhere). Don’t get pissed if someone mentions your favorite Disney Duplo set. They aren’t going to influence the market. There are way too many sets, the market is way too big, and there is too much conflicting advice. That’s all I got. Just my opinion. But back on topic. Is it too early to start buying Galaxy Explorers? How many should I buy?

100% agree. Looks great but should have been 299. And from the lackluster sales, it seems fans agree. It's a shame. Would have been such a great 90th birthday present for fans. Now Lego will conclude that Knights don't sell.

Jangs review made me actually start to consider getting this for me and my kids. Of course if I do it'll have be timed with some good discounts and or awesome freebies [emoji1303]

Walgreens has a deal for 15% off $30 or 20% off $60…includes lego.

In effort to console myself and others:

bit of a crease on my venetian houses, not terrible. nice holo seals on these. Which one should I sell to pay for these 😅

Nice Trolley! It would go great in a land of make-believe MOC This gap makes me a little crazy, though. the top is a bit warped. Also check out the pre-production sticker there!
