Given the fact the inventory for the set is not yet available, you can check the back of the instructions here, here and here. I'll be getting this one for sure, after having skipped the most recent Winter Village releases on account of them being too "fantasy" with elfs and gingerbread houses. On the other side, there’s the chimney base, a small carpet, and a tiny gift, which is later hidden from plain sight. Not sure why there seems to be continued confusion about this since it was a feature that they announced I think 2 years ago now?

Some of the more interesting parts, in my opinion, will be highlighted further on in ‘The build’ section.

The golden bells, the satin white lamps and the rounded corners are some of my favorite elements of the house.

Santa has a big hat and beard so you wouldn’t be able to tell if the face had another side (it doesn’t).

Some may argue that 4 minifigs are too low for a set of this size, however, adding another family member (or Santa’s helper) would make the house too crowded. It might be my impression, but the open wide floor is perfect to reach in, set the minifigs in various positions/actions and just go about their cozy evening waiting for Santa.

While I enjoyed the building process tremendously, I didn’t get the expression of why the set is targeted at adults. Prior to actually building the set I flipped through the instructions to get a glimpse at the building steps. To warm up , the building starts with several small models, the first one being the entryway to the property. This set is a wonderful example of very contemporary LEGO set design, eschewing blockiness and simple squares and rectangles. We are not Lego fanatics, but as a casual project this took my partner and I approximately 6 hours to complete.

However, these smudges are seen only on a few pages and are not affecting the building process as such. The base shape at first seems so odd, but turns out great, and I love the rounded corners of the roof. Part of the LEGO Winter Village Collection, this collectible Christmas house buildable model is from a range of creative building sets designed for adult building fans. The exterior of the house is painted in bright light blue, which was another feature that stood out to me.It's also nice that they have both this and the 40499 Santa's Sleigh set this year which actually works for both themes in this case! As mentioned before, to allow easy access to her room or nook, the roof can easily slide away from the house. There’s not a lot of SNOT building included, apart from the ground floor and roof section deviating from the standard rectangular shapes.

The buns, kitchen robot and oven help create that December atmosphere when everyone is baking and the kitchen smells of cinnamon and cookies. The bright light blue color is a great choice in my opinion, despite blue being a less common facade color.It wasn’t until 1947 that they started producing plastic toys, with the first version of the now infamous interlocking bricks coming in 1949.
