Expand the Winter Village II
Deadline January 30!
Classic-Town.net and Eurobricks invite you to create your own addition to the popular winter village subtheme that TLG has presented during the holiday season for the past three years.
So far, TLG has provided us with three places to visit, a lovely Winter Toy Shop, an equally inviting Winter Bakery and this year’s new Post Office, but wouldn’t it be nice to have an even larger Winter Village full of festive fun?
Well, now you can, by expanding the theme with your own Winter inspired creation!
Check out this topic for the rules and discussion!

With all those new Friends sets being reviewed, you’d almost forget there’s also a new wave of City sets coming out in 2012. And it’s not just police and fire sets this year, as LEGO introduces a line of five civilian-oriented vehicles sets. Reviewers Academy teacher Rufus reviews one of them, 4435 Car and Caravan.

The Friends reviewing frenzy continues on Eurobricks with Pandora reviewing the biggest set of the first wave of Friends sets: Olivia’s House. The set is packed with details and what you see on the outside in the picture below is just the start. The house features a full interior with very clever builds. And whereas the Friends line introduces some great new accessories, most of the interior detailing in the set is achieved with familiar LEGO pieces.
3315 Olivia's House

Henrik Hoexbroe has created a lovely diorama of a French town – Royville – in the 1960s. It features – among others – an art-deco style petrol station, a Citroën car dealer, a hotel, and a train station. It’s very much ‘alive’ because of the many little scenes and Henrik’s brilliant car MOCs.
