LEGO 40222 Christmas Build Up

Let's go for an offer that at least has the merit of being original: From € 65 purchase without restriction of range on the LEGO Shop and in the LEGO Stores, LEGO is giving you a copy of the 40222 Christmas Build Up set.

In the box, 250 pieces which will allow you to assemble 24 mini-things with one limitation: You will have to disassemble each mini-thing to build the next one, some parts being common to several models.

It's up to everyone to see if this gift justifies spending the requested amount on the official LEGO store. You have until November 20 to decide whether the stock planned by LEGO for this operation is sufficient.

If you feel that you may regret missing out on an original product, you can proceed to checkout via the links below depending on your country of residence:

About these contests for which you just have to post a comment to validate your participation: I had so far not set any particular instructions concerning the content of these comments.

Unfortunately, the massive influx of contestants and their comments based on generic interchangeable terms (I participate for my grandchildren, my nephews, my dog ​​/ I share (What?) / I invite thing and machine (?), I'm on my deathbed and you would save my life if I won (Ah? ), I'm sending this comment from the palliative care unit of the hospital thing / thing / contraption, have mercy, (Truth, sisi ...), etc ...) often prevents any constructive and readable discussion. I'm already eliminating a phenomenal amount of it, but I don't have to do that.

Therefore, in the future, make an effort on the content of the comments, so that the fact of bringing into play a box also serves to fuel the discussion about it. Any pollution which clearly falls under the "standard formulas" used by those who don't care and just want to win something will now be automatically eliminated. It's arbitrary, but that's how it is.

40222 LEGO Christmas Build Up

Close-up today on a somewhat particular set: It is not available for sale, it will soon be offered by LEGO and despite its look of Advent calendar, we would almost be dealing with a box of the Creator range disguised as a festive product.

This set bearing the reference 40222 LEGO Christmas Build Up will allow you to get 250 pieces (no minifig) in a box the size of a Building Figure from the LEGO Star Wars range and advertises itself as a 24-in-1 product. Its theoretical US public price is $ 19.99.

40222 LEGO Christmas Build Up

The peculiarity of this box, clearly displayed on the packing box and which makes it a set that could be classified in the Creator range, is that the 24 models offered cannot all be built at the same time with inventory provided and share common rooms. It will therefore be necessary to disassemble a model to build another and arrive at the end of the 24 mini-things, as explicitly indicated in the instruction booklet. The brick separator is provided.

40222 LEGO Christmas Build Up

Small remark following an indication of the official description which may mislead you: "...Also includes a resealable box, brick separator and extensive building instructions for all 24 models ...". This is not the red box seen on the set illustration visuals but the original packaging.

40222 LEGO Christmas Build Up

Nothing revolutionary to build, we constantly navigate between the usual mini-tips of the Advent City or Friends calendars and the Monthly Builds offered in the LEGO Stores. We obviously end with a Santa Claus after a few creatures and animals decked out with a pair of Mixel type eyes, toys, a tree, etc ...

I'm not going to list the 24 models provided here, nor to tell you on 500 lines and with great reinforcements of superlatives why each of them is a jewel of incredible creativity, blah blah ... Others will take care of it. and I guarantee you that flickr, instagram and others will be invaded by all kinds of clichés of these mini-things from December 1st.

On the inventory side, to get a more precise idea of ​​the contents of the box, you can download the PDF file that I have crafted for you at this address.

In the end, and because it's free, this little set is in my opinion a great idea that will pass the time while waiting for Christmas. And 250 coins is always good to take.

This box will be offered on the LEGO Shop and in the LEGO Stores from 23 October to 20 November 2016 from 65 € of purchase without restriction of range.

Note: If anyone is interested, I would gladly offer my copy (open) via a random draw among the comments posted below (Deadline for participation: October 15, 2016 at 23:59 p.m.). You save nothing at all since the product will be offered. Oh yes, you will still have to spend 65 € on the Shop to have it ...

40411 Creative Fun 12-in-1 (GWP)

The other set whose instruction booklet is currently online on the server which includes the documentation of LEGO products in PDF format is the reference 40411 Creative Fun 12-in-1, a box that will soon be offered on condition of purchase via the official online store and in the LEGO Stores.

In the box, an inventory that allows you to assemble 12 different creations, but not all at the same time. It will therefore be necessary to dismantle each construction to move on to the next one which possibly uses one or more parts of the model already assembled.

This is not the first time that LEGO has offered a promotional product based on this principle: In November 2016, LEGO offered the set 40222 Christmas Build-up and in 2017, it was the set 40253 LEGO 24-in1 Christmas Builds which was offered from 65 € of purchase. These two boxes then made it possible to assemble 24 mini-models using the inventory provided.

The instructions for this new reference are available in PDF format at this address or by clicking on the visual below. We do not know for the moment when the offer will be launched to be offered this new set.

LEGO Seasonal sets: some old references are back

Someone has tidied up the warehouse at LEGO and the manufacturer is bringing out several references during the holiday season, some of which were offered on condition of purchase in previous years.

Thus the 24-in-1 set bearing the reference 40222 was offered from € 65 purchase in October 2016, the Snowglobe of set 40223 was also offered from € 65 purchase in November of the same year and the Christmas train set 40262 was already sold at the end of 2017.

We will also note the return of the gingerbread man (ref. 5005156) offered from 30 € purchase in December 2016 and now sold for 4.99 €.

If you had missed one of these boxes or decided when the minimum amount to spend was too high, you can now acquire them directly from LEGO at an almost reasonable price except for the reference 40222 which is sold for less than 6 € (new and sealed) on the secondary market.

The excellent 40223 Snowglobe set is a steal at € 9.99, currently selling for over € 20 on Bricklink.
