Description
About this set
Santa’s Sleigh is a 343-piece holiday build with Santa at the reins and four reindeer out front. The reindeer wear decorated saddles that come off, and Santa carries his list of who’s been good. The sleigh is piled with eight brick-built wrapped gifts, a teddy bear, a guitar and skis, and there are hidden treats to hunt for.
It’s rated 9 and up and makes a cheerful seasonal decoration that kids and adults can build together. With the reindeer, it stretches about 30 cm long, so it sits nicely on a mantel or shelf. The set is retired, so sealed copies will be harder to find each year.
Highlights
- Santa minifigure with his list
- Four reindeer with removable decorated saddles
- Eight buildable wrapped gifts, plus a guitar, skis and teddy bear
- Hidden Christmas treats for a treasure hunt
- About 30 cm long including the reindeer
