North Pole Series
The North Pole Series, a sub-series of the Heritage Village Collection, is designed with magic and legend providing the inspiration. Bringing to life the activities of Santa and Mrs. Claus and all their North Pole friends, these bright smaller scale buildings often bring a smile and a chuckle when the details are noticed. This is my most extensive collection, with just under half of the 270+ buildings that have been offered and the associated accessories.
One grouping of the North Pole Village Series with 41 buildings and associated accessories is displayed on the Rec Room entertainment center.

The largest village display contains the bulk of my North Pole Series collection and is displayed on temporary shelving built in bedroom 2 using wood planks and upside down buckets. It's not elegant underneath but you don't see it, it works, and makes it easy to hide the cords and wiring.
