Lemax also offers accessories such as trees, mountains, and other decorative pieces that can be used to complete the village display.
You can start by purchasing one of the pre-made village sets or by selecting a few pieces that you like and building your collection from there. It's important to consider a theme and color scheme for your collection as well.
Yes, the pieces are made of ceramic and other fragile materials, so it's important to handle them gently when setting up and storing them.
Yes, many of the village pieces come with built-in lights, but you can also add your own battery-operated lights or LED lights to enhance the display.
No, the village pieces are sold separately, and you will need to provide your own display base, such as a tabletop or shelf, to set up and display the collection.
Technically, you can mix and match pieces from other brands, but the sizes and scales may not be perfectly compatible, which could affect the overall look of the display. It's usually best to stick to pieces from the same brand or line for consistent sizing and visual appeal.
