Lego 10193 Medieval Market Village is an incredibly detailed model. It has over 1600 brick elements and kept my 10 year old daughter busy over 4 days to construct. It sports two houses and 8 mini figures: a blacksmith, two soldiers, two male peasants, two female peasants and a boy mini figure.
The first house comes with a blacksmith's workshop with a water wheel powered anvil hammer. It also includes a stable for the horse.
The second combines a Village Inn and brewery. Sounds like the villagers will have some fun recreation time!
Houses can be opened out to allow easy access to the rooms which contain a lot of fascinating detail.
The kit also comes with a very busy open market, with a market stall and baskets of produce, a table full of food (chicken, cheese and tomatoes) and daggers from the blacksmith's forge. Also walking by are two soldiers carrying a treasure box containing coins and gems. A horse and cart, chickens and two cows compliment the market scene.
The construction was relatively straight forward, if not time consuming. The roof was a little tricky to assemble and the only downside is that the tree is rather fragile and keeps on losing it's foliage. Apart from that, this is a great kit and almost gets 10 out of 10. A quality kit! Well done Lego!

This year I was on a long haul flight with British Airways and my entertainment system failed to work so I put in a formal complaint and was given some gift vouchers at the BA shop. I had just enough to purchase the Lego 7696 Commuter Jet which is a rare promotional kit that sell for around £30 on Ebay.
