REVIEW: 10308 Holiday Main Street

[Pchan1983]

Here is my review on 10308 Holiday Main Street:

THE GOOD:

• The Tram is stunning.
• Some cool interior details in both shops and I like the bed build.

THE NOT SO GOOD:

• The 2 buildings are straight from typical LEGO City sets with a tough of winter.
• Power function compatibility is good but take away most of the interior space of the tram.
• Christmas Tree build not as refreshing as previous Winter Village series.

This is a set I was pretty much sold when I saw the tram, in the end I do think it's a good lego set but just not a good winter village set.  It's a surprising move to not include the light brick.  The Tram is definitely the highlight of this set, looks great, fun to build and can fit quite a few minifigures.  The 2 buildings though, while it looks good and some cool building techniques involved, it just a bit too thin and not enough depth in my opinion.  Despite some cool furniture and lovely exterior designs, this is what I think took away some winter village magic.  The Christmas tree also a bit boring if you have bought previous winter village set too.  Having said that, I like the minifigures selection and I did have fun building this set.  The price also is reasonable given it is priced the same as last year one.  Now is this a set I would recommend?  That will be depended on your expectation whether it's a winter village set or a regular lego set.
