40501 The Wooden Duck: the new exclusive set at the LEGO House in Billund

LEGO today officially unveils a new box, the reference 40501 The Wooden Duck, which will be exclusively marketed from June 22 in the store of the LEGO House located in Billund. Public price: 599 DKK or around 80 €.

This box of 621 pieces, the first in a new series of sets entitled LEGO House Limited Editions which will showcase significant products in the history of the LEGO Group, features a reproduction of the wooden toy manufactured and marketed in the 30s by the founder of the LEGO group, Ole Kirk Christiansen.

It should be noted that LEGO only sold wooden toys between 1932 and 1947 before offering an assortment of products also including plastic toys and then permanently withdrawing wooden products from its catalog in the 60s.

If you fancy putting together this tribute to a historic toy, you can download the instructions in PDF format (24.6 MB) at this address. There is currently no information going in the direction of the sale of this new box on the official online store, even temporarily, as was the case recently for the references. 21037 LEGO House, 40366 LEGO House Dinosaurs et 4000026 Tree of Creativity.

I received a copy of this duck on wheels, so we will talk about this product very quickly.
