December 30, 20168 yr I like these vignettes. The style for 2017 seems to include several plates that has smaller builds on them?
December 30, 20168 yr Since this is pretty much the "catch-all" thread each year for seasonal stuff as well as Lego store exclusives and promos... Here are some photos of the upcoming year of the Rooster set and keeping with the trend of the polybag micro Mini Cooper and VW Camper Van, here is a miniaturized VW Beetle set which will probably be given away in Lego Stores and S@H. Edited December 30, 20168 yr by Legocity2713
January 1, 20178 yr The VW looks great! I like it better than the RV and the Mini Cooper polybags so far.
January 4, 20178 yr Thank you all very much for the pics! The Valentine Scene as well as the Easter Scene are looking brilliant! It was a good decision of TLG to come back with minifig scale and City compatible seasonal sets this year! And I do hope that we'll get some more amazing sets of this kind this year - beach scene, fall scene and Christmas scene would be excellent!
January 21, 20178 yr Today, I went with my wife to the LEGO store and we got this. On the back of the instructions we found this. This year's Halloween set. Looks awesome! Can't wait.
January 21, 20178 yr Love the Valentine and Easter sets. Interesting how the Halloween dude uses Cole from Ninjago's old head.
January 21, 20178 yr Those gates! That pumpkin head! The Halloween one is absolute perfection for display!
January 21, 20178 yr It appears that through the gates is supposed to be some sort of haunted house against an orange sky or something. I like that it has three dimensional depth past the gates. Definitely a must have.

January 21, 20178 yr The Halloween and Easter sets do nothing for me but I bought the Valentines set and it is great! Added it into a park in my town with a few mods.
January 21, 20178 yr About time there's a Halloween seasonal set worth having. I purposely missed out on last years and the year's before was just stupid. Seems the FRIENDS Halloween sets in the European magazine has fared better than the official sets. I also love the Valentine and Easter sets for this year but honestly enough is enough. I might get the Easter set if there are any left next week but we could use new ideas rather than just rehashes of older sets. I'm guessing the butler in the Halloween set is just a generic butler but wonder if he is somehow the basis for the Haunted House butler or even Lord Vampire before he became a vampire?

Take a look at instructions: https://www.lego.com/en-us/service/buildinginstructions/search?initialsearch=40252#?text=40252 This set is heavy sticked. BTW - any news about availability? PS. I also love halloween set!
January 21, 20178 yr Seeing all the complaints about a picnic in February being unrealistic... It was 82°F in Houston, Texas yesterday. Pushing too *warm* for a pleasant picnic. So I suppose maybe mid February is a bit too late in the year for a nice picnic So glad they're back to vignettes.
January 22, 20178 yr Thank you vey much for the pic, LegoLeroy! I'm absolutely no Halloween fan, but do have to admit that this Halloween set looks very well designed! But I don't know if I'll buy it or not. The only thing I'm surprised about and even a bit disappointed is that there for sure won't be any summer and Thanksgiving sets. Because since they are located in the year before Halloween, TLG would for sure even release them before and even have the pics of them earlier on the instructions of the Easter set etc.

January 23, 20178 yr I would like to see other seasonal sets. There is a lot of wasted potential. And some of this occasions are definitely more important than Valentines. For example: April Fools' Day Children's Day - in many countries in June Mother's Day - in most countries around May Father's Day - May/June International Workers' Day or Labor Day (May or September) And start of summer vacations - mostly in June/July. For children one of the most important days in the year.
