Loved addition to my village. I knew from other reviews the “leg lamp” is a sticker. I do think they could’ve had a better alternative for the lamp but i still love the piece!!This is my first experience with any Christmas village purchase. I've been thinking about starting a collection for a few years and finally pulled the trigger. I spent a good amount of time researching brands and settled on Department 56 due to the high ratings, the wide selection of villages and what seems to be a pretty passionate following.First impression, the quality is very evident when unboxing and setting this up, so I may still give Department 56 another shot when I expand my collection. I'm putting this as 3 of 5 stars however because the famous leg lamp doesn't light up. There are ~7 windows on the front of the house and the one with the leg lamp is the only one that doesn't light up (it's just a sticker). So if you set this up in a room with low light to enjoy the effect of the house lights, you actually can't see the leg lamp unless you are right on top of the house. In the absence of visible leg lamp, it's not very obvious that this is the house from the movie. To be clear, the replication looks spot on. But lots of people who have seen A Christmas Story dozens of times couldn't pick Ralphie's house out of lineup on its own. The leg lamp is the distinguishing feature and it would have made more sense for Dept. 56 to make this the focal point of the product by illuminating it. I mean, its a lamp right?A very secondary complaint is that the actual Christmas lights hung on the house don't light up either. I imagine its pretty difficult to do that given the size so not taking off any more stars for this - but it begs the question, at what price point do you get a truly accurate replica? This item is not cheap.Looks great and received it in perfect condition.Gift for Christmas Story Lovers, is great.This house is absolutely gorgeous! It is a bit smaller than all of my other Dept 56 houses which is strange, but I guess that's why it is less expensive than other houses. The detail is just beautiful though. One of the tiny hooks that the light string attaches to was broken (could have happened when I removed it from the box because it's packed so tightly). I will have to super glue it because I don't want to send it back. Otherwise, very happy with the purchase and the price!Cord that came with it did not work. We happened to have an extra. Contacted seller no responseReceived quickly! Quality of Dept. 56 is as expected.Wife is in love with the product, for this i am pleased. Not very happy at all with how the box came to me. It WAS inside of a larger cardboard box shipped from UPS. BUT the actual decorative homes packaging is DESTROYED inside! I just purchased 4 "A Christmas Story" decorations and would have liked very much to have the packaging in decent shape.This is super cute and pretty good quality however, the size is a bit off (smaller) compared to my other Dep 56 house which is odd.una compra muy buena sin demoras con el producto en buen estadoMuy buen producto, excelente calidad, los acabados y detalles son muy bonitosLove it. It will be perfect for my villageOriginal, bien terminada. Una más de las villas de Department 56 que luce muy bella
