First image of 10275 Elf Club House

I'm in love, though it looks similar in its style to the Gingerbread House it's still very very epic looking, definitely one I'll be looking into buying at least after getting the Gingerbread House though

Unless the interior is amazing i'm going to struggle with this one.. it's just a little dull, oh look another winter set with a tree and snow covered roof on an alpinesque building (reindeer aside).... I have every WV set to date both in our opened/build collection and also as additional sealed sets in storage.. I may be forced to get this to keep it running in the hope it's just a year where I personally am a little underwhelmed. i.e. if next next picks up for me shame to have a gap. Or are they now come one for more than one year I may hand on.. can't see there being a fight for these this year like there was last year on Gingerbread House.... unless it has a lower price point that the usual £74.99 to £89.99 range.. if this is in the £55 to £70 band I may rethink.

It doesn't look bad, however I feel like the prominent A-frame is very similar to the gingerbread house. I was hoping for something architecturally different this year, as well as something that was a return to the "real world" and not fantasy for a second year in a row. Hoping this is less than $100 USD as it looks a bit smaller than the gingerbread house.

I like it but why the heck are all the elves the same color? Was really hoping for a few different colored elf hat's. Glad I got several with red hats from BAM last year.

Love it! Want it!
Cute deer, too - this will enable a disney-like Xmas display. Because Disney mostly use deerlike creatures for their Xmas sleigh stuff... Mythical flying reindeer maybe look like that...?
Now, Olaf from Frozen - THAT is a reindeer!

I agree with CCC. It looks fine. Nothing really special to me. To the point I rather LEGO rereleased the Santa set with two of the reindeer instead of the brick built ones. For $100 I want more than that. There were leaks of a red elves hat, why not that? Or at least a dark green hat, anything different.

It's just kind of there. Looks nice but isn't needed.

I really like it, but then I've only been buying the Winter Village sets sporadically. I wonder if Lego aren't simply running out of ideas; there's only so many things you can do with the premise.

This set looks amazing!

And I love the new reindeer piece!

I’m a huge fan of the WV sub theme, and I will buy it to keep and display but it looks a little dull compared to last years. The piece count must be made of 1x1’s because it looks relatively small. Also, the reindeer does not have a red shiny nose.

I like the brick built 1980s computer. The reindeer piece is really cool too. I liked the Gingerbread House more, but this set still looks fun.

I like this... especially the Reindeer might have to bricklink a few of these & some of the elves!!

Meh. Probably skip. I liked the actual Winter Village but then we got Santa's workshop, the Toy shop re-release, Gingerbread house, now this. The train and station weren't great either.
Since the fun fair/ market in 2013 the fire station was the only half-decent winter village set.

Sadly Winter village is getting repetitive, but lets just wait for the inside....

It looks very similar to previous years’ sets. I feel like they are running out of ideas...

Looks good to me!

I would prefer a non-fantasy Winter Village set after I missed out on the Cottage. I wish the Chalet had passed the review on Ideas...

The moulded reindeer is neat but it'll look a bit out of place next to the brick-built ones from Santa's Workshop, which is a shame. Didn't get the set last year but I might get it this time even though I essentially have no more room in our winter village which takes several days to put together

I love the tree!

It's weird that this is 18+ and hoe the South Korean page has been sharing so many goodies to us, I love the reindeer but that's about it other than they can have a Link in minifigure form.

I think it looks very cute! I like the color scheme and the string lights. The small builds also look cute, like the computer and the piano. I don't mind the repetitive look; I would rather have it blend in than stand out like a sore thumb. I also think it fits in better with the theme than some of the past sets (like the gingerbread house). But I'm also biased because I don't really have enough of a WV collection (due to dark ages) for it to bother me. I'm not sure if I will get it because my collection IS so small, it is probably awkward to just have a bakery (if I find the pieces) and an elf clubhouse and nothing else :) I can't wait to see the inside.

Though I must ask, what is an elf clubhouse?????

I normally like new animals molds, but I actually love the brick-built reindeer from Santa's Workshop and bricklinked a full set. If there are no new elf prints in this, I will probably skip.

It looks cool. I'm not sure it looks advanced enough to be 18+ though, as others have said. But I like the dark box because it looks quite christmassy.

Personally love the look of it, I think the architecture is really pretty.
Doesn't look to similar to the Gingerbread House to me

Hard pass: I much prefer the sweet treats on offer at the gingerbread house compared to the salad & exercise they enforce at the 'elf club.

Absolutely love this. A day one purchase. Going to have to figure out how to aquire seven more reindeer though.

I love the reindeer and the 80s computer. Not interested in the rest. Don't care for all that fantasy stuff, I prefer a realistic winter village. Already didn't buy last year's set for the same reason.

It will be mine! Will probably wait for a discount though. I already got at a fair price the Winter Toy Shop, the Winter Village Station and the Winter Holiday Train (and the small Gingerbread House for free).

I love it, but I will readily admit that might be because my dark age kept me from acquiring most of the Winter Village line (same as @mic27 ). And I agree that a little color variation in the elves would have been nice.

Still, it's a great-looking, festive set, that includes a reindeer (and therefore the possibility to Bricklink / Brick Owl more of them) and an old-school computer. Hard not to like all that!

My Bricklink reindeer expense account is now accepting deposits.

The reindeer is the size of Godzilla when compared to the sleigh!?

I love the old PC but I'm giving up on trying to figure out which decade Winter Village is living in... at this point it could be anywhere from the 30's to the 80's. It's like Batman the Animated Series (which was also great!).

THIS IS NOT A REINDEER! Blame Disney...

Looks fantastic. Nice to see a return to the lapland themed seasonal sets

This is PACKED with good stuff! I'm down for this!

Woah!

Intriguing! I love the new house design!

Winter Village sets are neat, but not very different from one another.

DEER DEER DEER

Hoping this is in the $60 - $70 range. It has almost 300 fewer pieces than Gingerbread House. But it also has four mini figures compared to two for the Gingerbread House (Sorry, I don’t count the 1x2 baby gingerbread plate a minifigure)....and the new reindeer.

I like that there are fantasy Winter Village sets with Santa and Elves and reality Winter Village with townspeople.

Looks so small for 1200 pieces, though. And the black background on the box art makes the set look inert and lifeless.

Hey, buddy, your link is broken.

4 elfs: one green, one dark green, one red, one dark red. All of them have different printed patterns on their shirt and different faces (now you know!). One reindeer: tut, tut, four reindeer. 18 years old? tut, tut, this is 0 to infinity. Black box: tut, tut, did Lego just hired Henry Ford? Henry Ford: "Paint them the colour you want; as long as they are black". A big no, no. Adults like to have fun and be merry as well. Not all has to be drab and all seriousness. A theme has to be flexible enough to allow for a presentation that fits the content.

As for the model, fine by me (aside the points mentioned above). This is a christmassy thingy. There is so much variety that can be done. If they go too far outside the box, people will complain: "what the heck is this, this does not look like anything christmassy that we know". That's why it's called a "tradition": same style, same general appearance, same feeling... Now, let's see how much this thing will cost - cause it looks somewhat small and has plenty of 1x1s.

What intrigues me the most (due to poor resolution) is the parts linking the deer to the sleigh.

So, for those who are wondering about the computer, it looks like the screen is just a white 2x2 tile with either black print or a solid black sticker. It's attached with a bracket, probably 1x2-2x2 Up, and the rest is pretty basic construction.

@Meowzap77:
In actual sets, they've only ever released the elf hat in bright green. In Build-A-Minifig, they've offered the same in red the last couple years. But currently that's the extent of it. Since these are Christmas elves, I wouldn't expect much more variety of color except maybe other shades of red and green.

@kolaxanthe:
Given the wacky solutions I've come up with (minotaurs and baby raptors), actual reindeer kinda feels like cheating.

@Jacopyright:
Psst. Olaf's the snowman. Sven?

@HOBBES:
Short chains. Gold ones.

That reindeer better be articulated both hind legs and neck and not just a recolor of the patronus deer.

"Finally we get the reindeer!

I wonder want the price of these will do on the secondary market"

I was actually able to obtain 3 of them from a secondary seller for about $12 USD each. Found them last month and currently have them in hand. Don't know if this site has messaging, but if it does, feel free to shoot me one and I can give you the site!

@darkstonegrey can confirm they are a recolor of the Patronus stag. No articulation at all sadly. I agree the hind legs and neck should have movement like the horse and big cat molds

This looks excellent!

And the route chosen to fantasy Christmas seems to be a definite one.
It is almost as if LEGO has given up on designing wonderful WV-sets. It all has become cookie-cutter generic. And perhaps time to change the line to 'North Pole' or 'Christmas Village' since 'Winter Village' doesn't seem to live up to its name.

I think the black box art makes it look kinda spooky, more like a haunted house.
Perhaps it will be released on Halloween ;-)

(In case the irony is lost on some, I do realize when it is actually released. I simply dislike the box art.)

Right you are! Sven is the name of the reindeer. And he is a proper reindeer. Not a stag, like this winter village animal is...

@Jacopyright said:
"THIS IS NOT A REINDEER! Blame Disney..."

Agree! They just used the same mould from the HP stag patronus. Could have at least colored it more realistically and not with dark brown antlers.

I like the shape of the building, but not the colours.. And what's the deal with the computer?

@Veyniac
Great MOC, I must say I like yours better and the tree is great!

I find the PC quite anachronic personally...

Looks neat, yes, but after the gingerbread house last year, I'll pass. Would be nice for some addition for the winter village like a town hall or school?? Seeing kids running off school to the winter market.... though the reindeer is nice

With current TLG trends for pricing, the price for this is likely to be far too high.

The deer is more like a Red Deer.

Which is a welcome addition to the range of lego animals.

I hear you brother!!!

Don't usually care for WV, but the building is quite nice.

Any chance a reindeer could be included

@Jacopyright:
I've actually eaten reindeer. In downtown Anchorage, there are a few street vendors that sell reindeer sausage. My parents wanted to do a family trip there for their 50th, and my dad thought it would make for an interesting "first meal". I was able to convince him that when you can see four food carts, and only one of them has a line, that's the one you go to. Later in our trip, we stopped for breakfast at a restaurant called Latitude 62, and I think that was the only place I ever saw it on a menu, so I had it again. It was pretty good, but didn't really compare to the shredded bison sliders I had at Yellowstone. On that one, they do perform culls at Yellowstone when the bison herds get too large, but I believe all the bison and elk that's served in the park comes from commercial herds maintained in other locations.

@R0Sch:
So, funny thing is, when species that have antlers are growing a new rack, the antlers are covered in tissue that's called "velvet", which can actually be a darker color than the animal's coat. It's a huge cheat to say that they're perpetually in velvet, but there's another possibility. When the antlers are done growing, they scrape the velvet off on trees, revealing the pale tan antler underneath. The tree bark can stain the antler brown.

I’ll buy it to keep the overall WV collection going but I’m really not into the fantastical sets. I’m already looking forward to 2021’s WV set in hopes that it will be realistic/town-based. C’est la vie.

I do like this but... the ‘clone’ elves makes me think of a Christmas Doctor Who episode, one not yet done, but attack of alien elves. The building is nice, but the interior will be the deciding factor for me. Will be making the gingerbread house to a regular one this year, at least this should be easy to do the same. LEGO: please bring back real world Winter Village builds.

I am not a fan of those black boxes. Especially in this case. It doesn't help the set look jolly at all. I would be more interested in it if it had a festive box. I hope TLG realizes that the black boxes were a mistake before next years modular building.

@Brick_387:
It's...uh...nighttime. When Santa's out delivering his presents. And the elves finally get a break for the first time in nearly a year. Yeah, that's it.

this set is FUN it will look great next to my other creator christmas set im looking forward to a fun build:):)
