Winter Village Sets

[unclephn]

I think it's safe to say that the Winter Village sets have been extremely popular. Has anyone heard anything about the continuation of this 'theme' for next year? And if a new set is released next year, what are the chances that all the existing sets will be released for sale along with it (seeing as how the Toy Shop and Bakery have now seen multiple re-releases)?

I guess I'm basically trying to decide if I should pick up the Post Office now, or if it's safe to hold out until next year (and save my money for all the newly released 2012 sets lol).

Any thoughts/advice/news is welcome!

Last year, I picked up the bakery for 30% off at my local LEGO store. It was popular, but not enough to sell out. I anticipate the Post Office will be on sale after Christmas this year as well.

I think it's safe to say we'll see another addition to our winter villages come the end of this year. If they decide to finally retire the Toy Shop, I'd say it's a good bet that they'll re-release the Bakery and Post Office along-side the newest offering this year, following suit the next year with Bakery dropping off in lieu of next year's set. I'm just glad I caught up this year and have all three that have been released thus far, just in case Toy Shop and Bakery are both absent this year.
