LEGO, Fairground Collection

"Nostalgia & Fairground: These three intricately detailed collector's items are designed as exclusive LEGO® Creator Expert Sets. The high number of minifigures, printed elements, and special bricks, such as the decorative elements of the Carousel (10257) newly introduced in 2017, give the fairground sets an exclusivity that makes them coveted collector's items. The combination of all three sets takes collectors and fairground fans on an exciting journey back to the past and an carefree childhood." - André Schulze, GOLDSTEIN.SHOP
