Winter Toy Shop Reviews
Is this LEGO set a good investment?
“Over that last few years Winter Toy Shop has been a particularly good investment for Icons collectors with an annualized growth of upwards of 9.0% per year. However, there is market indication that the set will experience a slight annual growth decrease in the coming years, but this should be only by a few percentage points at most. When compared to the vast majority of set in the Icons theme, this set is still an excellent investment for collectors.”

“For a remake, I think it's great. They managed to make a good set even better. Are the changes minor? Yes. Are they an improvement? Mostly, yes. Were they necessary? Perhaps not, but it's good that they made them instead of just re-releasing the exact same set. So if you... More didn't get the first Winter Toy Shop, I can highly recommend getting this one. If you do already have the old version, this one might still be worth picking up for the hugely improved minifigs and rare parts alone.”

“I highly recommend this if you don't have the original. If you do already have the set, I'll be frank – you could probably skip out on this and not miss out on much. Unless you have an obscene budget for LEGO, your money would be best funneled into some of the other great... More sets of 2014 and 2015.”

“The only real downside to this set is the fact there already was a previous one sold. While this may upset some collectors, it's also a great opportunity for new collectors — which is the whole point of the re-release in the first place. If you don't have the 2009 set, the... More LEGO 10249 one is a great buy. If you do have the previous one, they can be combined. Or, of course, you can buy two copies of this one and make a mega shop anyway!”
