Which was actually the first of two holiday themed giveaways from Lego, the second being the Winter Skating Scene released during the Black Friday "Brick Friday" event.
Just like many Lego giveaways, this set was designed to compliment the Santa's Workshop (which is sadly currently out of stock from Lego) released earlier this year. It fits right in with the workshop, and adds a few more toys to deliver and a couple more elves to Santa's home team.
Let's look at the toys and presents first, because I really enjoyed them.
The presents are pretty standard by Lego standards, and I really like the train and the bulldozer, but the standout is the toy soldier. It was cool to see how it came together, and works perfectly as a minimalist design. What I loved was that even my four year old niece was able to point out what it was, even though she called it a doll instead of the obvious action collectible that it truly is.
We also get a couple new minifigures in this set: the elves that will be working on the new toys for all the boys and girls. They actually have a lot of accessories, in the form of a couple paint brushes and at least six tools to play around with. These guys look great, and I'm really loving the metallic printing on the male elf to make his belt buckle and tools pop off his torso.
With most sets of this size, we get something that's fairly simple. It won't take long to assemble this set, but you might be surprised at the detail that's packed into. I love the paint cans along the workbench and the clamp on the end of it.
I'm happy I got my hands on this, even though I can't remember what I purchased to actually get it. As always, if you can get this at a good price, don't be afraid to pull the trigger. You will not be disappointed with this set.
nice creator product
