Our Lego Winter Village Town MOC - 10199 Winter Village Toy Shop, 10216 Winter Village Bakery, 10222 Winter Village Post Office, 10229 Winter Village Cottage, 10235 Winter Village Market and 10245 Santa's Workshop!

Dashing through the snow to bring you Little Yellow Brick's Lego Winter Village Town MOC 2014, which includes the 10245 Santa's Workshop!

This is probably the last Lego Winter Village MOC to use four base plates. Our town is getting a little too cramped for comfort! We actually did buy two new base plates, but the whole town looked a bit sparse! Next year then!

Shot taken from behind the stands. You can see that there are three main alleys - the first two alleys are motorised vehicle roads, while the rightmost alley is reserved only for reindeer!

You will see that we have kept some of the designs from yesteryear, such as keeping the stands all on one side, and the carousel in the middle. Another unique design we decided to retain was our pine tree forest! This year, we went one better - we fenced it up!
 
Alright, enough said. As usual, enjoy the rest of the pictures in the complete post, and have a blessed Christmas! Thank you for supporting our blog!
 
XOXO,
The Little Yellow Bricks

Our Lego Winter Village Town MOC - 10199 Winter Village Toy Shop, 10216 Winter Village Bakery, 10222 Winter Village Post Office, 10229 Winter Village Cottage and 10235 Winter Village Market!

We had to purchase another X-large grey plate to accommodate the latest addition to our Lego Winter Village Seasonal Series - 10235 Winter Village Market. It took the both of us some discussion before we decided with this set up. You see, Mrs Little Yellow Brick wanted to try making ski slopes using a thrift store Lego piece but Mr Little Yellow Brick emphasized that Little Yellow Brick's style is that of simplicity - having a few extra bricks and arranging our Lego sets can lead to picturesque outcomes.

So, without further ado... Presenting our 2013 Lego Winter Village Christmas Town combining the 10199 Winter Village Toy Shop, 10216 Winter Village Bakery10222 Winter Village Post Office, 10229 Winter Village Cottage and 10235 Winter Village Market!

Lego Christmas Winter Wonderland

Winter Wonderland (1934) by Felix Bernard and Richard B. Smith

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening


In the lane, snow is glistening

A beautiful sight

We're happy tonight

Walking in a Winter Wonderland!

Our Lego Winter Village MOC - 10199 Winter Village Toy Shop, 10216 Winter Village Bakery and 10222 Winter Village Post Office!

What do you get when you put the 10199 Winter Village Toy Shop, 10216 Winter Village Bakery and 10222 Winter Village Post Office together with two grey base plates, plenty of white plates, several spare blocks, an additional minifig and horse? Little Yellow Brick's Lego Winter Village MOC, of course!


Our busy Lego Winter Town!

Eagle's eye view of our town, complete with roads and snow path!

As usual, we have plenty of photos in the extended post; we encourage you to check it out! This post is our expression of how we would like our Lego Winter Village to look like - roads for travel by carriage and van, a pedestrian crossing complete with traffic lights, a snow path, and plenty of snow. For more pictures and comments on the individual and combined Winter Village sets produced by Lego, please check our older posts or refer to the related posts at the end of this extended post. Well, enough talking for now, please enjoy the visual spectacle!

Our Lego Winter Village - Three and Counting

An unopened 10196 Grand Carousel. A half-built 10182 Cafe Corner. Both are highly valued, out-of-production sets, crying out to be built, displayed and blogged about. Yet we chose to buy three Winter Village sets and cut the queue. Why? What's all the fuss about three small Lego sets under a thousand pieces each, with their main buildings lacking a back wall? Well, let's take a look.

1. Lego Winter Village Toy Shop
  • Model: 10199 Winter Village Toy Shop
  • 815 Pieces
  • Released in 2009
  • Retail price: $59.99 USD

2. Lego Winter Village Bakery
  • Model: 10216 Winter Village Bakery
  • 687 Pieces

3. Winter Village Post Office

Putting all three sets together, we have...

Without a doubt, the combination of Lego's three Winter Village sets is a sight to behold for any home Lego display, aesthetically superior to our impressive Lego Modular Town and magnificent Pirates Series sets. With Christmas around the corner, the Lego Winter Village is definitely the collection of the season. For more details on the composition of the individual sets - 10199 Lego Winter Village Toy Shop, 10216 Winter Village Bakery and 10222 Winter Village Post Office - please check out our project posts by clicking on the words.

Our Lego Winter Village - Two and Counting

Well, you must have guessed it! After building the 10199 Winter Village Toy Shop and 10216 Winter Village Bakery, we were always going to publish a combined entry on both sets. So here it is, our Lego Winter Village!

Lego Winter Village
Welcome to our humble village! 


Preparing for Christmas! 

Shops, benches, trees and more!

View from behind the shops!

Our Lego Winter Village is currently made up of Lego's first two Seasonal Series sets 10199 Winter Village Toy Shop (released in 2009) and 10216 Winter Village Bakery (released in 2010). We are currently lacking the third set, the 10222 Winter Village Post Office, which we will try to get our hands on soon!

10216 Winter Village Bakery

It has been a truly wondering experience building and displaying the sets. The combined Winter Village, we dare say, is visually more appealing than our Modular Town, which is currently at five buildings (we have yet to complete our 10182 Cafe Corner). The Winter Village Toy Shop and Bakery sets come with three shops, one skating rink, one bench with street lamps, a Christmas tree, a horse carriage, and plenty of minifigs - for more details, please read the extended post! Our final two cents on the village? With Christmas about six weeks away, we would urge Lego fans to buy the sets for that white Christmas feel at home!

Our ninth Lego project - 10216 Winter Village Bakery

  • Model: 10216 Winter Village Bakery
  • 687 Pieces
  • Released in 2010
  • Retail price: $54.99 USD
Here it is - the second post in our Seasonal Series! Bought over the long weekend, we have wasted no time in building the set!

After! Our busy little Winter Village Bakery!

Following our post on the 10199 Winter Village Toy Shop, we were inspired to get our hands on the other two Lego sets in the Seasonal Series - the 10216 Winter Village Bakery and the 10222 Winter Village Post Office. For now, we have only managed to buy the Winter Village Bakery, which was released by Lego in 2010; the Winter Village Post Office has not been officially released in Singapore (Toy Station, though, has available sets). Nevertheless, we will look to buy, build and post the Winter Village Post Office before Christmas!

At 687 pieces, the Winter Village Bakery is the smallest Lego project we have worked on, never mind the Seasonal Series. However, it is just as aesthetically pleasing as the Winter Village Toy Shop. Taking about four hours to complete, the building experience was short but enjoyable. The Winter Village Bakery officially comes with 7 minifigs, but we would argue that it comes with 8 as there is an additional minifig stuck in the snow (only his feet are showing)! The set also comes with a horse drawn carriage, which adds to the village / non-urban feel.

Design-wise, the Winter Village Bakery, like the Winter Village Toy Shop, is only half-built - the facade is complete from the front but the back is exposed. There seems to be a design flaw in the shop, which does not have a ladder or a staircase for access to the second floor.

Overall, from a play and display perspective, the Winter Village Bakery can stand on its own, but we would propose adding it to the Winter Village Toy Shop to make the village a true hub of activity. Like the Winter Village Toy Shop, it also comes with lighting - we encourage you to check out the rest of our 40-odd pictures of this set. Our verdict on this set? Buy - especially before Christmas!

Little Yellow Brick Pick #4 - 10216 Winter Village Bakery

Look what we bought over the long weekend!!! :)

10216 Winter Village Bakery

Another pretty winter themed Lego set!

Comes with 8 minifigs!

The 10216 Winter Village Bakery, released by Lego in 2010, is the second set in the Seasonal Series after the 10199 Winter Village Toy Shop. At 687 pieces, it is much smaller than the Toy Shop, which has 815 pieces, but appeals just as much to our visual senses. We are excited about the purchase, and will start work on building it soon! Stay tuned for our post on building the 10216 Winter Village Bakery! :)
