About this deal
It’s easy to get started because the set comes with coffee-table-style building instructions, complete with design details. The Elf Clubhouse joins 2014’s Santa’s Workshop and last year’s Gingerbread House as a fantasy-themed expansion of LEGO’s beloved Winter Village theme, which is a personal favourite of mine. Last but not least are the Christmas lights, which employ yet another new technique using bulbs instead of studs. This year’s design is a breath of fresh air, and I love the use of 2 x 1 cutout wedges to give the tree its angled shape and sense of texture. New LEGO animals are always a moment to celebrate, and I’m very pleased with the overall design, which we first saw with the LEGO Patronus from last year’s Expecto Patronum set.
This just filled me with so much joy about how random this is, yet it fits the overall playful theme of this set so well. The Reindeer pulls a small basic sleigh, which has pearl gold embellishments which contrast nicely against the red and white.In this set, we get a Pirate Ship (a nod to the Creator Pirate Ship)and a keyboard (which references the Grand Piano), and a red propeller, as well as 2 presents. I really love the new LEGO Reindeer, and I wish they had included another one, so I’ll be hoping we see it used in future LEGO sets to make the most of this utterly gorgeous mould. The interiors are tiny, but they managed to squeeze in some furniture, and a sitting area, which is a great use of what little space they had. It’s honestly incredible just how fun this is, especially since this was created without any complex mechanism or parts.
At over 8.5” (22cm) high and 5” (13cm) deep, this building set for adults and families makes an impressive Christmas present or secret Santa gift idea with a display model to enjoy year after year. This is an easy, easy set to recommend to buy, as you’ll enjoy every moment of the set. With LEGO being in such short supply this year, I wouldn’t hesitate in pulling the trigger on the Elf Club House, especially if you want to avoid missing out for Christmas this year.On the ground floor is a small counter and chairs, which have plates of waffles and red mugs for the Elves to eat. The Elf Club House is a fun little set, that expands on the Winter Village by providing a base of operations and accommodation for Santa’s hardworking Elves.
