If you missed the special VIP weekend offer, be aware that LEGO is relaunching the same offer until December 2 that allows you to get the limited edition set. 40338 Christmas tree (392 pieces) from 120 € of purchase.

As I said in my product test, it is not the set that is at issue in this offer which has so far had a little trouble motivating the crowds, it is rather the minimum purchase amount that is too high. This Christmas tree is a pretty and very successful product and many fans will regret to ignore this box because they cannot spend the amount requested by LEGO to obtain it.

That being said, LEGO also has a few discounted sets for the Black Friday launch with a daily selection that gets a 30% discount and a fixed list of sets that only get 20% off their retail price. usual until December 2.

Nothing very exciting in this selection of sets, remember to compare with the prices charged by Amazon before you start.

A few hours before the launch at LEGO of the pre-weekend VIP weekend offersBlack Friday, we take a quick look at the small limited edition set that will be offered from 120 € of purchase on the LEGO Shop and in the LEGO Stores: the benchmark 40338 Christmas tree. This small box of 392 pieces will then be offered, always for the same minimum purchase amount from November 28 to December 2, 2019.

This new festive gift allows you to assemble a Christmas tree with a respectable height: 22 cm high. The model is rather detailed with a stack of layers of green coins slipped over a central trunk and decorated with colorful balls, gray cookies and diamonds in different hues.

The icing on the cake, the construction is placed on a base which allows the toy carousel placed at the foot of the tree to turn with a wave of the hand. The functionality is anecdotal, but we will not reproach a manufacturer specializing in construction toys for making an effort on the possibilities offered by a small product. I was a little disappointed when I discovered the function, I expected without really knowing why that the entire tree would turn, but it was ultimately only the merry-go-round that moved. It is however logical.

In short, LEGO is offering here a small promotional product which has benefited from a careful design and which will easily find its place on the corner of a piece of furniture during the holiday season. Too bad the minimum purchase amount required (120 €) to be offered this pretty little box is so high ...

Note: Two copies of the set presented here, supplied by LEGO, are included. Deadline fixed at  December 7, 2019 next at 23pm. 

Update : The winners were drawn and were notified by email, their nicknames are indicated below.

Each year, LEGO gives us a few limited edition promotional sets on the theme of the holiday season and in 2019 we will be entitled with the set 40338 to a Christmas tree nicely decorated and accompanied by some gifts.

The construction is much more successful than that of the trees usually delivered in festive sets of type Winter village and this pretty tree can even turn on itself as indicated by the visual at the foot of the box.

We do not yet know how much it will be necessary to spend at LEGO to be offered this box, but we already know that in 2018 it was necessary to pay 85 € without restriction of range to obtain the sets 40292 Christmas Gift et 40293 Christmas Carousel.

While waiting to learn more about the various promotional offers planned, here is an overview of what LEGO has in store for us on the occasion of the VIP weekend of November 21/22 which will be followed by Black Friday / Cyber ​​Monday 2020 from 27 to November 30, 2020. The manufacturer has indeed disseminated some visuals linked to these two events in the pages of its online offer, images which allow to refine the panel of planned promotions.

VIP weekend from 21 to 22 November 2020:

Black Friday / Cyber ​​Monday from 27 to 30 November 2020:

For the more impatient, here is the page to follow on the LEGO Shop so as not to miss any of the planned offers.

For those who like comparisons, know that in 2019, the set 40338 Christmas Tree Limited Edition was offered from 120 € of purchase and that the set 5006085 Buildable 2x4 Red Brick was offered from 200 € of purchase. The minimum amount to spend for the set offered therefore skyrockets by 30 €, but that to obtain the brick to build, which was red in 2019 and which will be Teal this year, remains fixed at 200 €.

Without knowing for now what will be planned in Europe, we will be satisfied with the list of offers planned for the month of July on the official LEGO store in the USA. The timing of these offers may be different with us but we should be entitled to similar transactions in the coming weeks.

So on the menu, the set 40411 Creative Fun 12-in-1, a box of 240 pieces whose inventory allows you to assemble 12 different creations, but not all at the same time (instructions available at this address). Across the Atlantic, you'll have to spend $ 85 on the official store between July 1 and July 26 to get this little set.

Two other offers that recycle products already offered by LEGO are planned: the set 40338 Christmas tree which was the gift of Black Friday 2019 at LEGO will be offered from July 24 to 26 from $ 100 purchase and the pack 5005969 Back to School containing a kit, a pencil, an eraser and some stickers will be offered from July 27 to 29 from $ 50 purchase. This set had already been offered in France in August 2019 from 55 € of purchase.

No confirmation for the moment of the offers planned in France next month, but I think we have a first idea of ​​what awaits us. To be continued.
