LEGO Seasonal 10249 Winter Toy Shop

Released in 2015, it contains 898 pieces and 8 minifigures for a Christmas setting built around a festive shop.

Winter Toy Shop belongs to the Seasonal range of Christmas themed LEGO models. Its subject is a winter toy store, making it a setting for a festive village scene rather than a stand alone vehicle or single character build.

The set uses 898 pieces and includes 8 minifigures. The listed characters are a man in green overalls over a red shirt, two carolers, a man in a dark blue pinstripe suit with a gold tie, a woman in a dark bluish gray jacket with a magenta scarf, and several children in winter clothing, including a boy with an Octan logo jacket.

It suits display as part of a Christmas arrangement and also supports character based play through its varied minifigure selection. Within a Seasonal collection, it is best understood as a winter shop scene that can help populate a festive layout while staying within the Creator branch of the theme.
