The vintage vehicles continued with an amazing classic snow plow truck. The Winter Village Cottage was styled after a medieval cottage, with a fun pale blue and brown beam colour scheme. One of the most colourful Winter Village building would arrive in 2012. It was also the first Winter Village set to include a vehicle, with a vintage delivery van. To keep those posting their letters entertained a festive band played in the included band stand and the traditional Light Brick was used to light up the Post Office window.

So in 2011 the Winter Village Post Office opened its doors. Toy and treats are all very well but sending letters to loved ones and Santa are just as important. Inside the bakery was a fun little Light Brick powered open oven, perfect for baking those festive biscuits and treats. It follows the same style of build as the Toy Shop and also had the addition of a frozen pond, perfect for skating on. In 2010 the Winter Village expanded to include a bakery. The set also included plenty of brick-built toys. Among the seven Minifigures, were two rather cute little carol singers. Along with a quaint little village toy shop, the set included one of the best brick-built Christmas trees I think I’ve ever seen in a LEGO set. Released back in 2009 the first Winter Village set was a festive toy shop. To celebrate 10 years of the LEGO Winter Village range, it’s the perfect time to cast a eye back over the entire selection of sets. Every Winter Village set is part of the LEGO Creator Expert range, so provide a challenging build and over the last 10 years have provided a nicely varied range of sets. But with the Gingerbread House, there’s 11 sets, I hear you cry, indeed there are however, in 2015 the Winter Village set was a re-release of the very first set and it seems LEGO are treating them as basically the same set despite the small changes between both sets. With the announcement of the Gingerbread House, the Winter Village range marks its tenth set release and its tenth anniversary. Every years since a new set has joined the ranks and helped to inspire builders to create their own festive displays.

Back in 2009 Christmas became a little more special with the release of the first festive set in the LEGO® Creator Expert subtheme lovely known as Winter Village.
