Christmas Countdown 7 - Lego 3300014 2012 Christmas Set

With all the 3 previous Winter Village sets assembled, it is now time to start on the new sets that I have started acquiring over the course of this year!

We start off with the 2012 Christmas exclusive, boringly named Lego 3300014 2012 Christmas Set. The box may be dented a little but the polybags in it are still good and sealed.




The back shows a simple scene with nothing much different compared to the front artwork. This is a pretty small and quite build.




It comes with a small folded instruction booklet, 2 polybags and 2 pieces that are large hence they are found outside the polybags.




This set although small provides quite a number of minifigures plus a horse. I like the gentleman who will be the slave driver of the horse later on. The face piece is quite uncommon and is only found in 8 other sets, 3 of which are Christmas ones!




Not sure how this Google Awesome Photo thing works but some of my uploaded photos are getting the treatment. Below is one half of this set. Like most Christmas sets, the lamp post is assembled using uncommon parts with SNOT techniques.




Next up is the sleigh part, where the other 3 minifigures are almost torturing the poor horsie!



Overall a fun build it is. I like the gentlemen and the lamp post in it as I find them quite unique and uncommon. Like all exclusives which are small, the price per piece of this set is certainly nothing to brag about. At 109 pieces for almost SGD$40, it probably is not something that one buys because it is a good deal but more because of the festive cheer that surrounds it.

For those with Winter Village sets, this complements it, but for others who do not, there is no real harm in skipping this set at all.
