What reviewers are saying

"I think the designer did a very nice job here. Just kind of accomplished all of the major goals."

JANG's LEGO Reviews

"This set is a great complement to your Winter Village Train. The train station and railroad crossing will help you connect the train to the rest of your growing Winter Village layout."

Ecosystem

Holiday-themed steam train set — The station is designed to work with the previously released holiday-themed steam train. The reviewer notes it 'does definitely look really good with the train that it was designed to work with' and that both sets complement each other well as a display piece.

10254 — The Winter Village Station (10259) is designed to connect with last year's Winter Holiday Train (10254), enhancing the overall layout when combined. However, it feels incomplete as a standalone piece and is better appreciated as part of a larger winter display.

#10254 Winter Holiday Train — The Winter Village Station provides a proper train station to complement the Holiday Train, which only included a tiny loading platform. Both sets remain easy to find but are unlikely to be available next Christmas. The Holiday Train was available longer, presumably because it sold well and fit alongside this set.

BUY

"The set retails for $79.99 for 902 pieces. While positioned as complementary to the previous train set, it offers fair value when considered as a standalone set or in combination with the 2016 Winter Holiday Train, though reviewers suggest it feels somewhat incomplete without that prior set."

Key Pros

✓Vintage-style bus design is well-executed and appealing
✓Interesting building techniques including turntable door frame and clock tower construction
✓Easily removable bus roof on hinged connection

Key Cons

✕Station is smaller than desired with limited detail
✕Limited playability with the station itself
