Box The front of the box shows the full set along with the storage function. The back of the box shows some scene features in the set. The top of the box shows the actual size of the minifigures. Contents & The Build Inside the box, there are 4 bags. One of the larger bags contains a smaller bag as well. This means that there are total of 5 bags of LEGO pieces. Here is the instructions booklet. There is also a stickers sheet. It would have been nice if they were printed pieces instead of stickers. However, designing and producing these printed pieces for this set only would probably be too costly. The pieces organized by color. It took me about 6-10 minutes to sort this out. You first start off building the minifigures. The front of the three minifigures including Charles Dickens. The child minifigure has an alternative face. The back of the three minifigures. You start off first building the base of the set which is a book. The first stickers are applied on the book binding. Here, you can see the storage slot. The drawer has more stickers on it. This is the book with the drawer closed. After the base of the book is built, you start building the floor. More stickers are applied. The walls have stickers. Though, the detail is pretty nice. You also put a sticker for the picture frame on top of the fireplace. Complete Built Set Here is the interior view of the set. There is a fireplace with candles and Christmas Wreath on top. There is also a Christmas tree. The back of the house shows some nice details on the walls and the roof. The outside of the house has a tree and a lamp post. Finally, here is the complete set with the minifigures, box and instructions. These are the pieces used for the set. Here are the spare pieces. Set Ratings Design: 9/10 Build: 9/10 Minifigures: 8/10 Playability: 9/10 Parts: 9/10 Price: N/A Overall rating: 9/10 Overall Thoughts This set took me about 1 hour to build (including sorting the pieces). It is a really nice set with lots of details. The minifigures are pretty cool as well. You can also put some stuff in the storage area. The only issue with this set is that I would have preferred printed pieces rather than stickers. That's the only drawback. If you missed out on this set from LEGO VIP Weekend (November 21-22, 2020), don't worry as there is one final chance to get the set from Black Friday, November 27, 2020 to Cyber Monday, November 30, 2020. Available as a gift at LEGO Brand Retail Stores and LEGO Shop at Home (USA | Canada | UK | Australia) with VIP purchases over $150 USD / $150 CAD / £150 GBP / $209 AUD.
