I agree that it looks good. I'm hoping this also means that the snow globes from last year won't be making another appearance as a promo this Christmas.

The AFOL eye sees all :lolu:

Much much better than the 24 in 1 promo like 40222...bleh!

Hmm, not a fan. Looks a bit too Birkcheadz-y for my taste.

I made a better screen grab to see more detail:

Set number can also be seen in the video. It's LEGO set 40254.

A round base would have been nicer and really the legs need an additional 2x to bring it into better proportion, but overall should do well.

It's not bad. No gingerbread house but much better than last years incubation chamber. I think it will display better in pairs, think one on each end of the mantle. Could be a winner for qfll in that regard.

QFLL, have you learned nothing at all? Influencer Mom, or David Beckham will talk about this set, sometime before Christmas 2020 and we'll all be swapping this set for UCS Falcon's, let the good times role. :thumbsu:

Is my dementia getting worse or did we not get a very  similar set last year? maybe moustaches are like MF satellite dishes.

That face is terrible... I guess that pig-face designer from the thanksgiving set did this one too.

I don't like it. Free stuff is good, but for Christmas I always expect promos that fit into WV.

By the way, LEGO is sooo stupid I cannot believe it. If they made this to be an actual limited edition Brickheadz, with a series number and everything, that could boost sales much better. The collector's would definitely purchase something just for the sake of getting it.

Continues to prove that lego peaked from 2012-2015.  Its been a slow steady decline from there.

Similar idea, much smaller and more limited execution. I flipped that promo for €10 right away. :) 

This 2017 promo should flip for at least €20 right out of the door. Then it will dip to around €14 due to low lives underbidding each other, and then by Christmas 2019 it could well reach over €30.

He looks a bit afraid... "nono please, not another nut to crack!"

Now maybe if we turn the brows upside down he can be an angry killer nutcracker.

Because a santa Brickheadz was too hard?

Yes - and I still think it's rather ugly. Both Nutcrackers in general and this LEGO version in particular. Too square and without any real detail. Looks SLIGHTLY better in the bigger/higher res picture, but would rather have had an actual Brickheadz set or something instead tbh.

I just came across the said 2017 promo at the Lego store in Warsaw.
On the shelf for 49.99PL

Where's złotówka at now? $49.99PLN is what? 15USD?

Yep, around $14 US. Which I thought was a good price.

Anyone know if there's going to be a 24 in 1 set again this year? I know some didn't like it, but my kids played with that thing till February.

I saw a copy of the November LEGO Shop calendar and the 24 in 1 set was there as well.  Set number 40253 and looks to be the free gift with $99 purchase from 11/1 - 11/15.  The Nutcracker is free with $99 purchase from 11/25 - 11/27.
