It has become something of a tradition that each year LEGO releases a new and exciting Christmas themed set as part of their “Winter Village” series. Well this year’s set fits the criteria of exciting, but not so much the new part.
LEGO is re-releasing the 2009 set 10199 Winter Village Toy Shop as 10249 Winter Toy Shop.
We suspect there are going to be mixed feelings about this set – those with the original probably feel a little ripped off that they aren’t getting something new, while those who missed out are more likely to be pleased to have a second chance to pick up this set.
The set will be released on October 1st 2015 and has an Australian RRP of $109.99
