LEGO Winter Village Train Station available!

With all the talk about LEGO VIP members getting early access to the #75192 LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector’s Series Millennium Falcon ahead of the official release in October, it kind of slipped under the radar that the #10259 LEGO Creator Winter Village Station is also available for LEGO VIP members a couple of early. 🙂

The #10259 LEGO Creator Winter Village Station is the latest in the LEGO Winter Village series, which LEGO fans enjoy to assemble and display around Christmas. As you can see on the pictures, the #10259 LEGO Winter Village Station, is really meant to be an add-on set for the #10254 LEGO Creator Holiday Train from last year. It even includes a few straight tracks to add to the curved track pieces that come with the train. The little station and old style bus also fits in perfectly with the previous LEGO Winter Village buildings and vehicles.

Here is the official description of the set: Head for home with the festive Winter Village Station holiday set, featuring a snowy railroad station with wreath adorned lampposts and clock tower, platform, mailbox, green trees, snowy grade crossing with twin barriers and lights, and a beautiful, festively decorated bus with opening doors and a luggage rack with removable luggage and gift wrapped packages. This LEGO Creator Expert model also includes a ticket counter with a timetable and a transaction counter window with room for sliding out tickets to travelers, plus a coffee shop with a serving hatch and a detailed interior with an espresso machine, cups, cash register and a menu. Includes 5 minifigures: a bus driver, barista, grandmother, child and a ticket agent. 902 pieces. Price: $79.99 – BUY HERE

In the designer-video below, you can take a better look at both the exterior and interior of the station, as well as the bus, the minifigures, and new or recolored LEGO elements.

Please note that both the #10254 LEGO Creator Holiday Train (from 2016) and the #10249 LEGO Creator Winter Toy Shop (from 2015) are still available, although we could expect some shortages with the release of the #10259 LEGO Winter Village Station, and as we get closer to the end of the year. People will try to complete their LEGO Winter Village collection before the holidays, and the sets also make excellent Christmas gifts.

If you are a LEGO VIP member, I suggest that you get the #10259 LEGO Creator Winter Village Station now, before it becomes available to the general public on October 1st. You may also consider picking up the previous sets from the last couple of years, if you don’t have them already. You can find all three sets at the LEGO Creator Expert section of the Online LEGO Shop.

What do you think? How do you like the LEGO Winter Village Station? Do you collect the LEGO Winter Village sets? Are you planning to add the train station? Feel free to share in the comment section below! 😉

LEGO Batman’s Return comic strip contest

It was just about a week ago when we talked about the LEGO Star Wars Freighter Wars Contest, where you can enter for a chance to win the new #75192 LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector’s Series Millennium Falcon. Since then, LEGO added another exciting contest to their ReBrick website, this time for Batman fans. Details are below. 🙂

LEGO BATMAN’S RETURN CONTEST – OVERVIEW: Build a comic strip showing Batman re-joining The Justice League! LEGO Batman has decided The Justice League needs to be even more awesome, and to do that, they need him! But how will he go about re-joining? How will Superman and the other members of The Justice League welcome him, considering his behavior in The LEGO Batman Movie? Create a brick built comic strip depicting his return using up to five scenes/panels!

LEGO BATMAN’S RETURN CONTEST – HOW TO ENTER: Build out scenes/panels from your comic, creating up to five scenes/panels, you can use photo editing or other means to create text boxes and speak bubbles, although having these are not a requirement. Use photo editing to combine them all as one picture, or upload them as five separate pictures and submit them to the contest. Use the description field to describe your model – then hit “submit”. When you receive a “Success!” pop-up notification after clicking “submit” on the entry submission page, your entry has successfully been submitted. The ReBrick moderation team will review it within 1-3 working days to make sure it fits all the contest rules.

LEGO BATMAN’S RETURN CONTEST – RULES: Builds can honor any iteration of Batman including TV series, movies, comics or original creations but otherwise should not relate to or include any third party IPs.

Please do not use elements or minifigure parts specific to another IP. Use of any LEGO DC characters is allowed. Your entry must tell a story. Your entry can only be five scenes/panels long, although it can be as short as one scene/panel. You can use photo editing to combine your entry’s photos into one or more scene/panel, or upload each scene/panel as a separate image. Action is accepted, but entries with extreme violence and blood will not be eligible for the contest. Text boxes, speech bubbles, and other effects are not necessary, however you can use photo editing to add text boxes or speech bubbles, built text using bricks, or use paper/common household objects to create text boxes/speech bubbles (please do not write or draw on bricks). Use of LEGO Digital Designer to create your entry is allowed, along with photo editing software or adding effects to your entry. Entries must not contain LEGO elements which have been modified from their original form, including painted or cut elements, however the use of homemade stickers is allowed in the contest. Entrants must be at least 13 years of age at the time of entry. You can read the rest of the entry guidelines and rules here.

LEGO BATMAN’S RETURN CONTEST – DEADLINE: You must submit your entry by October 6th, 2017 at 10:00 AM EST. If you are not sure what time zone you are in, you can use an online time-zone converter to make sure you don’t miss the deadline.

LEGO BATMAN’S RETURN CONTEST – JUDGES: A panel of judges from The LEGO Batman Movie team will select one grand prize winner and two runner up winners. They will judge entries upon: overall coolness and originality – 25%, most inspired details – 25%, relevance to the LEGO Batman universe – 25%, LEGO Batman humor and style – 25%.

LEGO BATMAN’S RETURN CONTEST – PRIZES: There will be one grand prize winner, who will receive the following: #70913 LEGO Batman Movie Scarecrow Fearful Face-Off, #70914 LEGO Batman Movie Bane Toxic Truck Attack, #70915 LEGO Batman Movie Two-Face Double Demolition, #70916 LEGO Batman Movie The Batwing, #70917 LEGO Batman Movie The Ultimate Batmobile, an upcoming LEGO Batman Movie set to be disclosed at a later date, a winner certificate with a small customized model from one of The LEGO Batman Movie designers, and The LEGO Batman Movie swag package. There will be two runner up winners, who will receive the same currently available sets but not the mystery set, and a winner certificate with a small customized model from one of The LEGO Batman Movie designers.

LEGO BATMAN CONTEST – ANNOUNCING WINNERS: Winners will be contacted on the email address associated with their LEGO ID account after October 25th, 2017 and announced on ReBrick when the winners returned the signed Winner’s Certification Documents. A winner who does not return their Winner’s Certification Document within one week (5 days) of receiving it will be disqualified, and a new winner will be selected.

This contest is different than a normal building contest as it also includes photography and photo editing skills, and would be a fun challenge for creative LEGO and Batman fans. There are already a number of entries to this competition, which you can see at the official contest page. And for some inspiration, you can also browse through The LEGO Batman Movie sets at the Online LEGO Shop.
