Got Questions? We Have Answers.
How does photo identification work?
Take or upload a photo of a Christmas or Halloween village piece — Lemax, Department 56, or St. Nicholas Square. VillageDex Vision compares it against catalog entries and returns the piece's name, SKU, series, year introduced, rarity tier, and current market value — typically in a few seconds.
Can I animate a Christmas village photo into a video?
Yes. VillageDex Animate turns one still Christmas or Halloween village photo into a cinematic AI video with natural scene movement and original music. You can choose motion and weather options, then save, share, or publish the finished village movie. Every VillageDex account includes one Animate credit.
Where does market pricing come from?
Market prices are derived from online marketplace listings and collector-reported sales. We review and update pricing regularly so the values you see reflect what pieces are really selling for, not just asking prices.
