The very first Winter Village set is perhaps the most interesting one in the series. The setting consists of a couple mini-builds, each of which is different and quite imaginative. The centerpiece of the set is the tall Christmas tree which has a MOC feeling to it and is lots of fun to see grow layer by layer. The white kitten, the snowman, the presents, the carolers - all add nice details to the set. The toymaker's shop is also very cool in terms of architecture, decor, and toy displays.

The two downsides to this set are the fragility of the toy store's tower (the roof in particular is very lightly attached) and the chimney (not bad, but looks a bit strange with the 1x1 tiles sticking out in all directions). Also, the heavy use of dark brown and black colors make the set look a little too traditional when compared with the more recent Winter Village sets.

The Winter Village Toy Shop is a classic amongst the Winter Village sets that is well worth picking up, if you can find it at a good price. It's no wonder that it started a whole LEGO series that is still going strong.

I bought this set the minute it was available and I'm glad I did as not long after, it became hard to find and the price rose by £5.

I built it mid November and I was amazed by the detail and the overall Christmassy feel of the set. I use it mainly for display rather than to play with as at the age of 13, I'm getting a bit old to play with LEGO.

My favourite part of the set is the main building as it has a very traditional, warm feeling to it. I really like the toys on display too. For me, the best part of the building is the light brick as it adds to the cosy feeling.

The tree was bigger than I expected and it's decorated really well, expecially with the star on top and the presents underneath.

The final thing I really like about the set is the lamposts as they look quite realistic.

The only problem I had with this set is the roof as it doesn't seem to stay on properly and I thought the set should have come with a big white base plate so all the parts could fit on.

I'm glad that another Christmas set is coming tis year (Winter Village Bakery), just a shame it's going to be more expensive!

I picked this review because I think that it is really awesome! I think this is awesome because it comes with a light-up brick. I also think that it is awesome because it has a christmas tree that you can put ormaments on. The inside is really cool! And I also like the people that come with it. If I were you I would rate it a 5!

For a seasonal set, which is usually just a poorly built ornament, I was surprised. There are three sections to the set. The first is the christmas tree, with lights and a ladder to access the top. The second is the unique lamppost with bench. It even includes a snow pile! The only rare minifigures are the carolers, who are superb. The final part of the set is the toy shop. The downstairs has a cash register, a tiled floor, fireplace, and two toy displays. The upstairs is small, but has a chair, worktable, and a light that actually shines. I'd have to say the best part of the entire set are the "toys". They include a jack in the box, a wrapped package, a train, robot, car, and monkey(I think!) Definitely worth buying.
