"A Recommended seasonal vignette that punches well above its $9.99 price point: reviewers from Brickset and JANG both landed on a positive verdict, praising the pearl gold Christmas tree and the smart pairing potential with 40262, with the only real stumble being the underwhelming snowman."
Both Brickset and JANG reviewed the 2017 Christmas Town Square (40263) positively, praising its excellent price-to-piece ratio and its charm as a compact holiday vignette that pairs well with 40262 Christmas Train Ride. Reviewers agree the Christmas tree build is the highlight, with pearl gold decorative elements giving it warmth, while the snowman is the low point. Owner data backs up the enthusiasm: 4 LEGO.com buyers average 4.75 out of 5 with a 100% recommendation rate.
Where they split: Brickset praised the three distinct minifigures with relatively new torso and head prints as a definite positive, while JANG raised a concern about one figure using a female-specific torso that he argued should have been gender-neutral. Both reviewers agree on the tree highlight and the snowman shortcoming, so the split is minor and limited to the minifigure assessment.

"There's another stall for your little holiday town market. And here they're just selling some confections, some pastries. They got the the uh the pretzel up top, but they don't give you any extra pretzels to actually sell from this place. So, that's a little bit of false advertisement, you could say."
