Are we still discussing the Bricktober sets here? I just got the Week 1 Hotel tonight. It's not bad for a micro-building. I don't think it's nearly a $20 value, although I admit that there's a bunch of small parts in unusual colors here that would have some appeal on the aftermarket. (Like trans-light blue 1 x 1 bricks, and lots of them.) It is a nice, tight little build that works in a lot of detail into a very small structure. The only thing I don't like is the micro-vehicles, particularly since the bus has a "floating" effect thanks to a clear 1 x 2 plate intended to elevate it.

I would never pay $20 on its own for these, but since I happened to spend $75 at TRU tonight (two Advent Calendars will pretty much get you there), I'll say it's not bad for what you get.

I think the Thanksgiving set is the best of the lot so far. I think it even has the most bricks, which is no surprise since both sides of the wall are full of details.

On the dining side, what is the silver round tile that is attached to a white brick? Some sort of plate or souvenir coin on a little ledge? May look better if the SNOT brick was the same color as the rest of the wall, but it probably doesn't come in that matching color.

Is this available in europe? Since we don't have thanks giving here. All the seasonals are great, except the halloween one. Whoever thought of this vignette format instead of the old 'lego basic' style bulds is a genius.

I want that train. So I guess I'm waiting until the middle of the month to order Lego. My daughter will just have to wait for her minifig fix.

When do you think the two winter sets will be available? Maybe Nov 1st? I hope they are sold at the same time and not split apart by a month so I can order them together or only make one trip to the store.

I'm really excited for all the Holiday sets this year. I'm crossing my fingers my Lego Store has plenty of white 4x6 and 4x4 plates, I'm wanting to make a huge diorama around my Christmas tree, similar to the Polar Express. And with the white cheese and tiles from the PaB Panda, I can detail up my 60052 and assorted vehicles to look snow covered.

Anyone any idea when that train is available in the uk. I was hoping it was going to be sometime in October

Hoth Bricks says that in France this set will be available from Oct 23 to Nov 20.

I wonder about second winter promo - will it still be available Dec1st, when Dr Who will be released?

I bought 2 thanksgiving sets (they were just too good not to) in the UK over the weekend, plus I managed to locate the halloween set while I was there too :-)

Just had a look on hoth bricks. I think that's referring to America so still unsure when it'll be available in the uk

In America it starts earlier (Oct 13 - Nov 13).

HothBricks is talking about France. I believe that in other EU countries it will be the same.

However, LEGO calendar for GB, France etc. says nothing about it... So - who knows?

Oh man! I missed out on the Halloween set! Nabbed the Thanksgiving one though! With the red leaves, I may need to grab a few more... it's a nice set! I will be sure not to miss out on the Christmas ones, though. Great pieces there! I need more of those brick bricks! :grin:

WATCH out US Folk. The Lego site is saying the Holiday Train is being added to the cart, but it is NOT being added

I called Lego Shop and they confirmed It is not being added

I recently bought the Thanksgiving set from my local Lego Store and boy, the first thing that struck me is that the box is pretty heavy! *huh*

158 pieces in such a small box is really something!

Great set btw, totally recommend it. :thumbup:

The store calendar says the train's not available until the 13th. Fortunately, double VIP points have been extended to the 14th, so I plan to go to the store on Wednesday, make a $100 purchase, get my double points and my free train...
