Return to yesteryear with this festive holiday scene!

It’s a winter wonderland in this snow-covered little town! A special-delivery evergreen, all ready for decorating,
arrives at the tree-seller’s stand by horse-drawn cart, while ice skaters frolic on the frozen pond with colorful lights
and a curious owl perched overhead. Just look out for the freshly-shoveled snow piles – one skater has already tumbled in head-first!
At the bakery nearby, the friendly baker prepares delicious holiday treats in his oven and rings up sales at the cash register.
Push the glowing LEGO Power Functions brick to fill the building with warm interior light! Includes 7 ½ minifigures, snow owl, horse and lots of winter accessories.

• Includes 7 ½ minifigures as well as a snow owl and horse!
• Features LEGO Power Functions light-up brick which lights the interior of the bakery when you push it!
• Includes lots of fun winter accessories like a dark blue minifigure hood with new fur print!
• Prepare holiday treats and ring up sales at the cash register!
• Skate on the frozen pond made of 8×8 transparent blue plates!
• Interesting elements include a camera, tan baguettes, croissants, green apple, 8×8 transparent blue plates,
medium blue tiles and even a new ‘caramel’ color for several brick and arch elements outside the bakery!
• Features an evergreen tree for decorating, tree seller’s stand and even a horse-drawn cart!
• Bakery measures 7″ (18 cm) wide!
• Completed model (depending on space allocated between the individual parts) measures 16″ (40 cm) wide, 12″ (30 cm) deep and 7″ (18 cm) high!

New set pics: bridge, bakery & starfighter

The Lego forums are all abuzz over the latest set pics from Whung on Eurobricks.

It doesn’t look like I have a choice.  I’m getting all three.  And at least 2 of the bakery… I am looking forward to seeing clearer pics of the bridge and the bakery, and crossing my fingers on the local prices…

**********************************

One of the more exciting news I’ve read this week is that 2 new sets have been leaked via Amazon Japan: 10216 Winter Village Bakery and 10214 Tower Bridge.  Since I love the 10199 Winter Toy Shop, I’ve high expectations of the Winter Bakery. Now awaiting pics of the sets but the jap description mentions lights, pond, owls and 687 pieces (so probably a mini set that I need to get at least 2 sets to modularise like the Winter Toy Shop).

For the Tower Bridge set, I’m expecting a Taj Mahal type of set and the jap description mentions the London bus, London taxi and a truck (?) and 4287 pieces (huge!).

A few pics of the new SW sets were also made available this week. But news (and prelim pics) were out ages ago so no re-blogging here.  Pics can be easily found on Eurobricks forum.

For completeness, I’ll also mention that there is news of a re-issue of the Maersk Ship (10155), Architecture series White House (21006) and 7848 TRU delivery truck (with mini TRU shopfront).  All quite interesting but then the Winter Bakery is the most thrilling for me.  🙂

2010 Advent Calendars

New hi-res pics of 2010 City and Kingdoms Advent Calendars are now available!  Sadly, new sets now have fewer minifigs than previous years but I’m sure the prices have not gone down as well. 😦

Click on pics for hi-res versions:

Your thoughts on the new calendars? How many will you get?
