Buddy the Elf Reviews
Brickset
“Among the details included on Buddy's base are a bottle of maple syrup and Arctic Puffin, one of Buddy's friends from the North Pole. I am not sure about the character's face, but such things are very difficult at this scale.”

“This delightful Buddy the Elf build looks like a must for those who adore the Will Ferrell-led holiday flick. Of course, there's also candy canes around the snowy base and a maple syrup bottle. Can't forget two of the most important food groups.”

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,
