LEGO Santa's Visit 2021 review! 10293

[@ianbuswell1792]

Buying this for Santa’s big black boots alone

[@teakr]

Buying this for attic cake alone

[@the_real_lego_commander_co6685]

You should buy the Santa’s sleigh for that

[@cquinn4555]

I did!

[@milesupshur9614]

This might be the single best "interior" I've ever seen in a lego build of this size and price. It's just so detailed and cozy, I will definitely have to get this in time for the holiday season.

[@RoscoeWasHere]

What I like about Jang compared to most other Lego reviewers, is that he makes sure the pieces are actually connected 100% when he shows a set off. Small, but noticeable detail.

[@king6238]

I agree :)

[@jeremyscungio16]

I don't even do that

[@greenhill004]

Even Lego doesn't do that for some of their pictures.

[@jackdanielsinthelionsden1887]

This is probably the coziest winter village set they've made so far

[@cirlu_bd]

The Big Black Boots™ are a nice addition if you want Santa to change into the Père Fouettard at the last second and giving the kid punishment instead of gifts

[@bryanjensen355]

Beats a LEGO Krampus whooping, which nonetheless the Winter Village still needs!

[@Kociu91]

I really appreciate this set, for me is one of the best WInter Village sets that was ever created because... of the vibes. It is so family around here theme. You know, parents, gifts, kids, all family just gathers just to enjoy Christmas... wonderful. All in a landscape of a little family house and covered in snow neighbourhood.

[@nathan3707]

Merry Christmas Jang!… In a few months.

[@ggfla6735]

I like jang ,he is.the mature reviewer on KZbin and I dont mean because of his age. He give us a very professional look at all sets where others on KZbin lack . Jang has no affiliations with Lego either . I find most affiliates never show the negatives and everything they show is all amazing to them.

[@nickricci19]

That door with wreath going through the windows is so genius

[@vegaslightz1424]

Gonna make a winter snow town w Elf Club House, Santa Visits ,and Hogsmeade Village. Together will be four homes and put in a circle,then I'll add the Lunar ice-skating rink in the middle, along w minor snow activity details

[@Tiishen]

Wow, I wasn't expecting Santa to fit inside the chimney while holding the bag, that's cool though! And yeah, the gift in the attic looks like cake. That was my first thought :P

[@hazelscully2874]

The iridescent finish is one of my all time favorite things it’s such a neat thing that doesn’t necessarily look like lego but adds so much detail and spark to a build

[@Kai_fire_master]

This is such a charming build, and I like that it can be used outside of the winter village (unlike things like the gingerbread house)

[@52joker64]

Love the different piece usage in this set. Wolverine claws as moss and that mudguard piece as a door cover/roof (I don't know what it's called) . Such simple things but so effective

[@AldenG]

The tree is kinda disappointing. But you definitely pay a holiday-charm tax. Looks like a $80 set.

[@thevectorcave3616]

A really nice house, I like how every corner and angle leaves no gaps and unwanted corners sticking out. Best Santa figure so far :), maybe we'll get a Big Belly Belt for next year :))

[@evo_is_confused]

I'm watching this now in November so I can get away with being excited

[@fuzzybrickstudios2315]

Ok so i want everyone to hear me out. ok so I believe that the mother is the lady from the birch bookshop (same hair face and torso), and I believe that the dad is either the guy giving the lady from the birch bookshop flowers or the guy from the winter village fire station. for some reason I always try to make some sort of theories when the new Winter village series sets come out idk why lol but its fun!

[@Elizabeth-foolishmortal]

Roof construction was great and much easier to build than the Gingerbread House.

[@FlymanMS]

That non-sequitor about big black boots was awesome! Also a great set and review, I think it wins over other holiday-themed Creator sets by value/price efficiency.

[@darthsarcastus1064]

The elves on the shelf left this set and Santa's Sleigh as a parting gift for us to build as a family on Christmas Eve while waiting for the big guy to deliver. This has become a new family tradition in our house at Christmas and it was great to sit down with my wife and two children to build LEGO together. We eventually finished it on Boxing day morning but when it was finished and displayed alongside some of our other Christmas themed LEGO I have to say I was happy to have suggested this build to my wife back in October. I was really happy with it and next Christmas it will sit alongside the next build on Christmas day (or Boxing day maybe) and continue our little tradition.

[@UndercoverGus]

I know I’m way late to this video, but the big black boots segment seriously made me laugh out loud.

[@TheGoldenGear42]

The BBB cutaway killed me, thanks man

[@namialus1376]

I don’t celebrate Christmas, but this set is incredible Also there are them BIG BLACK BOOTS

[@CraftageNate]

Indeed, dem boots!

[@bryanjensen355]

Heretofore Santa's Kinky Boots.

[@DZstudios.]

“Big Black Boots”……can’t get worse than that…. Spanish Dub:….hello there

[@MrXD117]

¡grandes botas negras!

[@AkinduDasanayake]

USE YOUR HANDS to put on Santa's BIG BLACK BOOTS, what a great segment

[@AdamJasper18]

It just feels like somethings missing to me. I think it could have done with some fairy lights across the roof like many of the other Winter Village sets have

[@hardwired2]

I used to teach you all the time and I have to say these Holiday sets are my favorite

[@maxtyler8993]

That editing was fantastic.

[@brickunitedhd9236]

This looks quite good, the building could do with some profile brick texture bricks, some adaptions and it would be great!

[@lbricks7631]

Ahhhhh, the OG Jang music.

[@brxlz_builds_canada]

Picked up this set yesterday really looking forward to the build, I don't worry to much about piece to price as it's all about the build. If it's fun to build then I got my monies worth. Just my view

[@ASwankyLemon]

I had the same thought! ATTIC CAKE! so much great detail in this one. I’ll be picking it up!

[@SmudgeThePro]

Would have been great to have a small-medium sized sleigh with this, maybe 1 reindeer.

[@tobyntoby]

Not going to happen at all, but Lego's got your back by having another set for this - 40499!

[@luna_eclipse93]

@@tobyntoby If that set didn't exist, there probably would've been a small sleigh in this set though, similar to the Santa's workshop set a couple years back

[@paulwood1790]

Big Black Boots made me laugh you're reviews are great

[@seanlavoie2]

I wouldn’t try to change anyone’s mind, but I can see the value. If I had the space in my house I’d be tempted to get it. Ordinary I couldn’t see investing in any form of Holiday Village decoration, but the idea is growing on me at least in Lego form.

[@TRD-FRS]

Hey Jang! I just built my set (got it for Christmas), and even though I’m late I’d like to say my complaints about the set. I also don’t think it feels like a $100 set with the substance there. As you said, a lot of the pieces are small (the tree uses a decent amount of pieces by itself). One thing I noticed while building it is the fact that two 1x2 (light blue) plates were put side by side, when a 2x2 plate could have done the same thing. Stuff like that and using two 1x3 bricks (side by side the long way) instead of a one 1x6 is another reason why it drives the piece count up without adding more substance to the build.

[@drewcallant8101]

At first glance I would expect this to be around $75

[@Jennifer-tv4oj]

I think it is 100$ worth of stuff because when it is put together, the house is a fairly decent size. I do agree that it should have come with some food or pieces to make some food. I have the 1970s kitchen LEGO set, which comes with food on a one by one tile. Great set overall! You give a good, detailed review of this set!

[@peterdevine4505]

Thanks for the great review Jang! I really love this set and mostly because of the great looking front and the open back area. My problem with the modular building sets is that it is hard to appreciate all the wonderful details on all the floors unless you remove the entire floors from on top of each other to see inside. This, to me, solves that wonderfully. You can have a fantastic looking front side and then turn it around and easily admire and interact with the amazing interior details. I hope LEGO does this with more building sets in the future 👍

[@kylem7594]

Big black boots 😂

[@nickricci19]

The opening hinged roofs are so nice

[@augsdoggs]

Best Lego review channel on KZbin! I stumbled across your review of the Roller Coaster set while I was in the market to buy one (which I did) and was just thoroughly impressed by the amount of information that you included, your approach to determining value and even the calmness of your voice. I’ve used your reviews to help me decide on a few more sets since, and my impression usually aligns with yours. However, I disagreed with your assessment of Corner Garage. You really lowered my expectations for the interior portion of the build, yet I found it to be completely satisfying. I enjoyed the entire build and it’s the also the only one out of the modular series that my 6 year old is interested in as a play set. Anyway, love the channel!

[@CraftageNate]

The only word I have for getting this set: STONKS

[@blakchristianbale]

It speaks to the quality of the build that I don’t even live in a country that celebrates christmas in winter and yet I still feel like I’ve been in this house

[@AHYL88]

Interesting how this is less expensive (very slightly by £5) in the UK than the past three Winter Village sets, two of which had less pieces, although one had a reindeer and the other had a fair few larger pieces.

[@BradleyJSimmons]

I noticed that too

[@ForeignBrick]

Big black boots!😂😂😂I love it

[@jonathangiese5727]

Really appreciate you showing the extra pieces. I had to check whether an extra rounded 1x1 plate was included in this set, and your video helped out a lot.

[@RaechelSykes]

This became available again today on Legos site. Watched review again and purchased. Yes, price is too high... But it's a fun looking set and Santa goes down the Chimney. My Christmas village is growing (I'm super picky on which ones).

[@BeasBotBonanza]

Big Black Boots but no mention of Santa being CAPTAIN REX? :P

[@chrisb3976]

Santa with the BBB's lol

[@amseladams]

I like that after Gingerbread House and Elf Club House we are back to a "normal" building to combine with the winter sets we had before like the Fire Station, Toy Shop, or Train Station. But I'll wait until next year when the set is no longer exclusive to the LEGO store.

[@InventorZahran]

Am I the only one who thinks Lego should label sets like this as 17+ instead of 18+? I know they're trying to say it's designed for older fans, but "18+" implies that younger people *cannot* have this product. The number eighteen is just too culturally synonymous with adult media and activities that children are forbidden from doing. Whereas a Lego set can technically be built and enjoyed by people of any age, so long as they have the necessary amount of patience and dexterity.

[@TediI47]

the recordscratch got me

[@legomattie3295]

Thank you very much. Now I do long for a cold snowy winter. And I hate winter. Now I have to buy this. Thank you so much.

[@igotin9264]

Bro the bit about Santa's boots had me 💀💀💀

[@GalacticBSwiftEmpire]

I actually think this set is a super nice start for all the Winter Villiage MOC out there. simply, switch the colour of bricks to become different houses. Then close it off the back etc.

[@austinbrooks7146]

I really appreciate how critical Jang is of Lego’s pricing because it has gotten out of hand at times in recent years but I think it’s interesting because I 100% thought he would praise the value of this set😂. This is a rare case where I disagree, I think this is one of the better value Winter Village sets in recent years

[@craigbikes8831]

boots thing was really funny

[@Jekubman]

I like this set, including the Big Black Boots.

[@downtonviewer]

I like it and I _will_ buy this one. I opted out of the last _two_ Winter Village sets because I did NOT like them...just not my cup o' tea. THIS, however, is right up my alley. It will look great in my LEGO Winter village this year!

[@LegoSonicBoy]

This is the first Winter Village set I've had any interest in, thanks to the light royal blue and the quintessential family home Christmas setting, but I wouldn't be able to build and keep it as is, because it's too festive for my layout and it's also a little large and out of scale compared to the buildings I have. But I think it could be worth it at a discount if for nothing else than having light blue bricks, my first Santa minifigure, as well as the experience of building it so I can learn me some techniques to use in my own buildings. I don't know if fully tiled floors are actually common in official LEGO sets outside of the Modular Buildings (such as my prized 10270 Bookshop, which has *no* studs on the ground floor of the actual bookshop); I only started noticing it outside the series with the Gingerbread House and Daily Bugle. I think fully tiled floors are more of an AFOL influence, for the worse. I understand that studless surfaces look more polished and are much easier to clean, but there really needs to be a better balance between studded and studless. Call me old-fashioned, but I actually don't even think scattering some jumpers here and there is enough. For example, there should be more jumpers closer to the kitchen countertops so I can actually have someone cooking, working the mixer or doing the dishes. I also wonder if they tested the chimney with 1 or 2 brickwork bricks and found that even those interfered with Santa falling down it. It doesn't seem like they would've interfered and would've added some nice detail, given that they were able to use 1x2 rounded plates which introduce even larger interruptions to the surface.

[@ironspider23]

Nice lego reviewJane this was amazing

[@GeneralMadinesBarber]

I did think there should be food on the table, but I think it’s primarily a Christmas Eve scene

[@LostWhits]

This is a cute cosy little house. Until you see the back. I like it though.

[@TheSweatyYeti]

Can't wait for this to be back in stock so I can get my hands on Santa's Big Black Boots

[@zagwua]

Probably get this to go with all my other winter village stuff... Still have to build Snowy Mountain, though... Gonna need a huge pile of white bricks for that.

[@greenhill004]

The chimney is really bad. Lego couldn't use a few mason bricks? Would that have gotten Santa stuck?

[@stevenrainey6459]

Maybe it’s a Santa Monica by Everclear reference “With my big black boots and an old suitcase I do believe I'll find myself a new place I don't wanna be the bad guy…. “

[@MrDooshburger]

BIG BLACK BOOTS

[@silverknight6414]

Great job Jang. Your videos help me decide to purchase the set. I enjoy your speed builds as well.

[@jayrose-ham8834]

A Santa sleigh + reindeer would probably push me over the edge on the price

[@nickricci19]

Should put the potted plant somewhere else and keep the ladder for upstairs on that side instead of near the bed and going into the kitchen

[@youtubecommenter8412]

That big black boots part caught me so off guard lmao. Great review as always :)

[@joemacleod-iredale2888]

This set is the night before Christmas, which is why there is no food on the table yet.

[@mathewkolakwsk]

Thank you Jang. Insightful review, and loved the “big black boots!” part. Good stuff :-) Merry Christmas to All, and to All a Good Night!

[@BrickVonBarron]

Great review Jang! I will be doing mine after Halloween. I admit I'm heavily confused on the "big black boots" thing though. What's the deal?

[@seanlavoie2]

Me too. I think it’s supposed to be a joke point out how silly it is, but . . .I was almost afraid to ask since I can think of two different subjects that would be awkward. Google thinks Big Black Boots could be a Russian music group.

[@bryanjensen355]

Agree that it's a super cute set - but also agree it's a large attrition of value for $100 compared to the 2012 Winter Village Cottage. That said, kicks butt in value over the $100 Gingerbread House, the $80 Train Station, which needed some serious modding to make the interior not suck, and the $100 Fire Station, which was pretty lame.

[@megamuffin15]

Now I just need a few dark orange plates and some pumpkin bricks to turn it into a Nightmare Before Christmas set.

[@dant3945]

no i loved the BBB bit haha

[@MonteaDavid]

I like big black boots and cannot lie

[@stevenfreebairn2553]

So dang cozy!

[@NikolaiTourand]

The lego satas faces out of looks like the garden gnome from the older blind bag mystery figures lego came out with

[@yaboitucktuck5952]

"Big Black Boots" is gonna become a meme in the Lego community, I just know it

[@Brick-Life]

The chimney is similar to the one in the Brick Bank

[@undead.rising]

Looks furtively around my almost 1000 set collection... 2 seconds later... I spot them, on a polybag figure from 2-3 years ago... big, black boots.

[@JANGsLEGOreviews]

LOL E X P O S E D

[@AsianStudioss]

I love the big Black BOOTS!!! 😂 I think it’s an amazing set for Christmas tbh! It’s something I’d get for Christmas tbh

[@ehclan]

Hey Jang, could you review the creator 3 in 1 race car transporter?

[@imtheboss8414]

Cant wait to get this awesome set

[@serendal]

Really nice but like everytime, the price is really to high, I'm expecting like 70 max for something like this. We would have x1.5 the size few years ago. I really think that the back would be covered, this is really sad.

[@swaggertythejester2572]

I kind of want this now

[@defenderprime8046]

This is a really cool build, I'm a big fan of Christmas stuff and this house is just so charming and brings out feelings of warmth for Christmas time, I do feel like it's overpriced, they could have added a car and a pet of some kind, but I kinda agree that a full house build that can be opened in the back would have justified the price, but you gotta to admit, it really is very lovely, a few mods could improve this greatly, and don't worry Jang, about the big black boots bit, I didn't even flinched when you said it! LOL Cool review!

[@darthrizzen9349]

A very charming Christmas set, with a lot of nice details. Also seems pretty big, and quite fun, working as both toy and display piece. The price tag seems fair to me.

[@brownyuio]

It’s okay Jang. There’s a How To Destroy Angels (a Trent Reznor project) song called Big Black Boots.

[@allonewordcaps]

Great video 😊

[@EBLego]

I was gonna say big black boot....ies but then realized that still sounded wrong

[@gumbycat5226]

I find the building's outside appearance a little plain compared to the other winter village sets. It is like a mini version of the Winter Village Cottage from a few years back. I have bought it because I am a completist for this series, but like the fire station from a few years back, it goes towards the bottom of the list. Get the gingerbread house while it is still available - it's fantastic except for the brick baby.

[@davylindhout]

Did you check the battery on your tree? Mine lights up pretty well

[@devinpaul9026]

That Santa face without the beard would make a great town bum/rail hobo.
