Get cozy in the Winter Village Cottage!

When the snow gets really deep, clear the road with the snowplow, take all of the kids skiing or build an igloo to play in. There’s no cozier place to spend long, frosty nights!

I always like hearing about the things they added just for AFOL's sake like adding lots of "brick" bricks.

Sweet chainsaw

Expensive cottage, going to need some serious mortgage.

I'm going to have to sell lots of blood to get this one.

The winter cottage would be a perfect place to sight a yeti :)

Why does the box say 1490 pieces but it's being reported as having 1487 pieces?

This set looks great and has good value. 6.7 cents per piece. Not too many sets priced at that level. Actually the only set that beats this that is currently out is the Mini Modulars that I know of. There is probably some other sets that can beat it, but they are not on my interest list.

6.7 cents per piece. Not too many sets priced at that level. Actually the only set that beats this that is currently out is the Mini Modulars that I know of.

And bear in mind that the bulk of the pieces in Mini Modulars are various 1x1s, which diminishes the value slightly for that set in light of the piece/color selection in this one. I was griping that UCS R2, the Haunted House and this one were all so expensive - and on my wish list - but you can't argue with the value on this one.

What did he use to attach the minifgs with skis to that plate? Did anyone catch that? at 1:26
