LEGO Winter Village Market (10235) Available For LEGO VIPs on Sept 16

August 22, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 2 Comments

GRogall on Eurobricks has reported that the LEGO Creator Expert Winter Village Market (10235) will be available early for LEGO VIP members on September 16th. The official release date of the set is October 1st but VIP members are allowed to purchase it early much like other LEGO exclusive sets. Now here’s the catch. If you purchase the set in September, you can get the FREE exclusive Mini Volkswagen T1 Camper Van (40079) with your purchase or you could wait until October when LEGO usually has the double VIP points promotion going on. The double VIP points isn’t confirmed for October yet for this year but LEGO has had the promotion in that month the past couple of years so it’s safe to assume that they will have it this year as well.

Update: The Winter Village Market is now available for purchase for LEGO VIP members.
