Santa's Sleigh Reviews
The Brothers Brick
“As far as a recommendation goes, how could I not recommend Santa’s Sleigh with reindeer? If you’re looking to add a little holiday cheer to your home, get this set. It’s easy on the display space and sturdy enough to get down on the floor and play with it. If you’re... More interested in getting four additional reindeer to complete the lineup, you’ll have to either get a second Santa’s Sleigh set or purchase them individually from another source.”
Jays Brick Blog
“Santa’s Sleigh pulled by Reindeer is really iconic, so I can see this one holding its value well. This is at its core, a super festive set, and I think it makes for a great addition to your LEGO Christmas display, or Winter Village as we’ve never gotten a detailed Sleigh... More pulled by full-sized Reindeer before.”
