Steve Reviews It - Winter Toy Shop 10199

Went to the Cincinnatti Lego Store to buy the Green Grocer in January. Sold out of it the day before. AGAIN! ARRGHH! Thats the third time. Well backup plan time. "Do you have any Medival Marketplaces?" - "No sold out yesterday." *&^%$#$ Do you have any of the new giant pirate ship?" - "No sold out this morning."amp;@%#^&#*#&#$&$#*$#*#$*##*.....wait">*&@%#^&#*#&#$&$#*$#*#$*##*.....wait is that the Winter Toy Shop. Yes. Last one on the shelf. I expected to have missed out on this set because it had such a short run.

This is a very nice set. Full of minifigures and extra details. The building itself is fairly small but has some very clever building techniques to create the details. The "toys" are also nicely done as well. If you can find this still I recomend snagging it up.

Pros: Nice pieces. Has three short legs including one in purple. The light pole glass bulbs are very unique. Would look great on a layout, but finding so many would be difficult. Comes with 2 lg. pine trees and 2 short ones plus the giant brick tree. White cat, special heads, and jester hat round out a nice bonus.

Cons: I had a heck of a time getting the roof pieces on. Possible I did some step wrong as I was watching the Super Bowl while building it. Building seems small if you have built any of the Cafe Corner style building recently.
