Popular Post HandyHand Posted September 27, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted September 27, 2017 Watch at about 0:06 in the video... On the right-side, in front of the Duplo set, we can see a brick-built toy-soldier in the typical Christmas promo packaging! Looks like another promo WINNER again! 14 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jivepicnic Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bagalux Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Hmm, not a fan. Looks a bit too Birkcheadz-y for my taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HandyHand Posted September 27, 2017 Author Share Posted September 27, 2017 (edited) I made a better screen grab to see more detail: Set number can also be seen in the video. It's LEGO set 40254. Edited September 27, 2017 by Haay 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longshot Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcandre Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is my dementia getting worse or did we not get a very similar set last year? maybe moustaches are like MF satellite dishes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregpj Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 That face is terrible... I guess that pig-face designer from the thanksgiving set did this one too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inversion Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 (edited) 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. Edited September 27, 2017 by inversion 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fossilrock Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Continues to prove that lego peaked from 2012-2015. Its been a slow steady decline from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue leader Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
