This is another charming Lego kit for adults or kids mature enough to move beyond the immature boy stuff the company churns out. Several of the buildings in the Christmas series are too fanciful for my taste. I like buildings that could plausibly exist in real life, and it's easy for me to imagine this one in a European village. My wife and I have put it out every Christmas since it was released and thoroughly enjoy it every year.



I don't have enough experience with Lego kits to say if this is a good deal or not, but I find the overall effect delightful, and I marvel at how creative the designers are at putting together various pieces to make convincing details.



My only quibble is that I wish the base were a bit bigger. I tried to find a big white plate for the figures and tree to go on, but I couldn't find one at a price I was willing to pay, and to my surprise the few times I've looked on eBay for one I haven't found any.
