LEGO Winter Village Santa's Visit: First Look
Update (9/9 | 1:00pm EST):
We now have an in-depth look at this year's latest addition to the Winter Village sub-theme of Creator Expert—Santa's Visit (10239). The set is as was rumored, going to be available beginning October 1st worldwide, but will be available beginning September 16th for VIPs. The set contains 1,445 pieces and will retail for either $89.99 or $99.99—this is still a speculative price-point as the original set listing was posted on the Taiwanese LEGO Shop. Initial rumors speculated the set would cost $99.99, which makes much more sense than the lower price, considering the high piece-count.

Some new rumors have begun circulating the web regarding what is being referred to simply as LEGO Creator Expert Winter Village (10293), which will be 2021's addition to the Winter Village sub-theme of the Creator Expert line of products. There are no pertinent details other than that the set will retail for $99.99 (USD) and will release around the same time as the LEGO Ideas Home Alone Mccallister's House (21329) in late September—which will be right on-par with past LEGO Creator Expert Winter Village releases, with the most recent addition, Elf Club House (10275), having released on Shop@Home on September 24th, 2020.
LEGO have been releasing Winter Village sets once a year without fail as part of the Creator Expert Theme since 2009, and we expect no change in their release schedule for 2021. To-date, LEGO have released a Creator Expert Winter Village Toy Shop (10199), Bakery (10216), Post Office (10222), Cottage (10229), Market (10235), Santa's Workshop (10245), a second Toy Shop (10249), Holiday Train (10254), Train Station (10259), Fire Station (10263), Gingerbread House (10267), and Elf Club House (10275)—so it begs the question, what else could they add to the Winter Village?
