Once a year, since 2007, the LEGO company has released a modular building. You can see the full list here. They are typically made up of around 2,000 pieces and are full of different building techniques and styles. The 2015 set is the Detective Office. It includes a detective office, pool hall, and barber shop. While these sets are rather pricey, $159.99 this year, with over 2,262 pieces it makes it worth it. It has taken me a while to build this set, but once I'm finished, I'll post a picture.
Set Review - Santa's Workshop - #10245
It's March and Christmas came a little late. For a number of years now, LEGO has been producing a Winter Village theme. They introduce a Christmas themed set in the October time frame and it typically remains on sale for a two year period. I try to order the year's set around Christmas time, but by the time I got to it this year, it had sold out. This year's set, Santa's Workshop, was on back order for quite a while. It took over a month for this set to show up after I ordered it. Lesson learned... if you want it for Christmas time, then order it sooner or wait for the summer time when no one is thinking of Christmas LEGO sets.
I built the set over a weekend. It's a creative build with some different building techniques, some interesting pieces, and a 6 minifigures. I was also pleased that LEGO worked to get rid of the number of stickers you had to apply. Some of the pieces had details printed on (the reindeer backs for one). Overall it was a good set to build and will make a great addition to the other LEGO Winter Village sets.
