Each year LEGO kicks off the winter holiday season with the release of an all-new festive set. In the past we’ve seen everything from a charming village market and bakery to a toy shop and more recently, the Winter Village Station. Now LEGO has debuted this year’s addition to the lineup, the Fire Station, which continues the Winter Village theming and comes complete with the usual assortment of minifigures, festive lights, decorations and more.
LEGO’s Winter Village sets are some of the most popular kits out there and are must-haves for many fans looking to get in the holiday spirit. We’ve been getting new holiday-themed releases for nearly a decade now, with the first kit debuting back in 2009. This year’s is as festive as ever, stacking up to a 1,166-piece Fire Station.
The winter sets fall into LEGO’s City theme kits, meaning they are packed with minifigures and accessories to help expand your brick-built town with some winter charm. This year’s set is no different and includes seven figures, a Dalmatian, fire truck, fountain, Christmas tree and more.
Much like many of the releases we’ve seen in the past, the Winter Village Station is comprised of primarily dark red bricks complemented by tan accenting. The building is covered in snow and features a classic design that’ll make it fit in nicely with other Winter Village kits. With over 1,100 pieces and at nine-inches tall, this is one of the largest releases in the Winter Village lineup.
Like many city sets, the fire station consists of a front facade paired with a cut-away of the inside around back. The bottom floor of the building has room for vehicles while heading upstairs shows off a living area of sorts complete with table, chairs and an assortment of presents.
Alongside the main building, there’s also a miniature fire truck complete with ladder, as well as a fountain and a small bench with lamp section. The set comes with three firefighters, a saxophone-weilding musician, ice hockey player and girl with a scarf alongside a baby and Dalmatian. To fit the holiday spirit, there’s also a brick-built snowman.
The new Winter Village Fire Station will be officially available starting on October 1st alongside the other wave of new LEGO releases. Fortunately for LEGO VIP members, they’ll be able to pick up the new release starting on September 13th. It’ll retail for $99.99, which is on the pricier side of holiday sets compared to last year’s $80 Winter Village Station. Though for the amount of included pieces, the Fire Station is as good a value as any other LEGO kit.
