$330? LEGO has lost their ******* minds.

Psst: The set # is 41843, not 40843

Thanks for correcting my mistake...Typo Error

None the less.....A bit steep for a christmas tree

I feel it's different enough to justify both.  I'm glad they went with totally different coloring/features.

But when you are done building it you can store it in the set box 🤣

This should be the GWP for buying the Death Slice and even then it would be hard to cough up $1K

The train design is cute, and I love all of those blue hues. Unfortunately, that tiny toy train is a Selective Laser Sintering 3D printed piece. Not sure how to feel about that.

Wow!  I didn't notice that.  I think it's a terrible direction for Lego to go.  It makes me feel like it goes against what Lego is about.  I don't want to buy stuff from Lego that makes me feel like I could have just printed it myself at home on my Bambu.  In fact, if my family saw this mixed in with this set, they will just assume I printed and added it 🤣.

 

Here around the 2:10 timestamp is a good look at the 3D printed tiny train and its functions. This would mark the first widely available set to include such an element while technically being LEGO's fourth official 3D printed piece I believe.

1st was a drafting table machine arm from a LEGO Tour 2019 set (New Elementary article with actual photos), 2nd a toy duck given as a gift with purchase to LEGO House visitors, third a pogo stick for backers of The Secret Life of LEGO book, and now this toy train.

After looking back at how incredibly niche & rather sparse the releases of 3D printed elements LEGO has attempted thus far, I am not too worried of its inclusion here. I do ponder upon what this may entail going forward of course.

The movement with the 3d printed train is pretty cool though.  I guess it at least has that going for it.
