I agree with you about the price...
Still, it is an awesome set,
One I might even get, though I don't usually get the Christmas sets. :)

I set up my new nativity scene mixing it with my older set.


Nice. All that's missing is a bunch of Roman soldiers patrolling the area  ;)

The larger 4884 has a lot more accessories for an additional $10 IMO

Indeed, this set 5958 seems to be a (bit) cheaper US-mass market version of the 4884 with a klicky less (the sheperd) and much fewer accessories, while the baseplate & structure is the same. In Belgium, the bigger 4884 is available for ca. 22 euros (in big stores) to 25 euros (on the official site)...

I too wish the base plates were left off such sets. The building looks so useful for so many themes and time periods. A better designed building with the beautifully detailed Klikies, even a few more shabby peasant looky-loos, the card board back drop (goes to the pile of advent calendars useless backdrops) add a few bushes or trees... all this for $19.99 out the door ....Ill take 2 dozen    :shhhh:
If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

Thanks.  I swapped some parts and used one of the Joesph's as a Shepard too.  I never really liked the cardboard back drop and was going to shop for a near to scale manger scene that was wooden and replace the figures.  Then I saw this new kit.
