The Brothers Brick
“The finished set looks lovely, with lots of decorative elements giving it lots of detail, such as the 14 bright green leaf elements. The rotating carousel atop the gearbox contains a train with a locomotive and 2 cars, along with a Christmas tree on the fourth side. For the... More scale, they’re quite nifty, though the two cars do look a bit more like tractors than train cars.”

The Brick Fan
“If you’re into the limited edition Christmas seasonal sets, you’ll probably want to pick this one up too. In my opinion, it’s not as good as the Snowglobe (40223) from a few years ago but it does complement it well. I do like how LEGO used a window piece for one side so we... More can see the inner workings of the turning feature.”

About Seasonal Christmas

Christmas is the Seasonal subtheme for LEGO's holiday sets, and new ones come out every autumn. The earliest are small Santa builds from 1999. Many of the smaller sets are given free with purchases in November and December rather than sold, which is how 40410 Charles Dickens Tribute, a scene from A Christmas Carol, reached most people in 2020.

Christmas was introduced in 1999 and currently consists of 120 sets. As of today, 40489 Mr. and Mrs. Claus' Living Room is the most valuable Christmas set with an estimated new/sealed value of $280.
