Lego have announced the upcoming release of the Winter Holiday Train (10254), a 734 piece set which will be available to VIPs on September 15th and everyone else on October 1st. It will retail for £69.99 in the UK and $99.99 in the USA. This is going to be a huge hit with Lego fans this Christmas.
Not only does it look like the perfect holiday gift, but it also looks like a nice addition to the Lego train series. Being able to hook it up with power functions is great, and I’m intrigued by the idea that it comes with dual building instructions so that you can build it along with someone else. Combined with the 5 minifigures and the circle of track, there doesn’t seem much wrong with what’s on offer here.
From the press release…
