These are not the first visuals of these two products, but they are visuals that were posted online on social networks by a shopping center located in Thailand and these images are therefore considered "official".

We already knew that the LEGO Disney sets 40659 Mini Steamboat Willie and LEGO Creator 40597 Scary Pirate Island will soon be offered subject to purchase by the manufacturer, today we obtain two more detailed views of the content of these promotional products which are still not online on the official store.

The dates and conditions of the promotional offers concerned in Europe are not yet officially confirmed by LEGO, we simply know that the set 40597 Scary Pirate Island could be offered from 100 € of purchase from October 10 to 22, 2023, followed by the set 40659 Mini Steamboat Willie also offered from €100 of purchase from October 23 to 31, 2023. To be confirmed.

We already knew the contents of the LEGO set 40599 Houses of the World 4 but today we note its posting online on the official store in anticipation of a promotional offer a priori scheduled for October 23 to 31, 2023 (or earlier according to various rumors).

This new 318-piece product which is part of the mini collection of LEGO promotional sets entitled Houses of the World features a typical Asian construction, as usual you will have to pay at least €250 and purchase products at their usual public price via the official online store or in a LEGO Store to get it as a gift.

We can't stop them: LEGO continues to offer its range of small thematic bags regularly offered to members of the Insiders program from €50 of purchase with the new reference 40609 Christmas Fun VIP Add-On Pack whose title and content suggest that it will be offered during the end-of-year celebrations.

This will therefore be the ninth product based on the usual principle of the small thematic pack of pieces which must clearly have found its audience among customers of the official online store and the LEGO Stores:

This new sachet is not yet listed on the official online store, it is simply visible on the service which hosts the instructions LEGO products.

If you missed the availability of the wooden minifig around twenty centimeters high marketed in 2019 under the reference 853967 Wooden Minifigure, please note that it is again available on the official online store but under a new reference as indicated by a reader in the comments of the previous article.

This product now bears the reference 5007523 Wooden Minifigure and this is a priori the only difference with the previous version since presented as an "old product". LEGO then praised the range Originals as a series of limited edition products in the sheet of this box, we therefore see that it was undoubtedly a little ambitious, and the manufacturer removes the word "artisanal" from the description of the new reference.

The figurine is still made of FSC-certified oak, it still has two adjustable plastic hands, it is still accompanied by a bag of parts which allows you to build some colorful accessories and it is still sold at the public price of €119.99.

If you want to get a more precise idea of ​​the product, you can read or reread my review published in November 2019 and decide if the item is worth spending €120 to make as a possible gift under the tree.

Let's go for the Insiders preview which allows you to buy a copy of the LEGO Star Wars set 75367 Venator-Class Republic Attack Cruiser at the public price of 649.99 €.

Almost everything has already been said about this big box of 5374 pieces that I spoke to you about a few days ago during a review, it is now up to you to see if you should crack on without delay or wait for a promotional offer more attractive than that offered on the occasion of the launch of this product: a copy of the very questionable derivative product 5008162 Collectible Clone Wars Edition offered with its two adhesive patches in the shape of minifigs and its Galactic Credit in scrap metal.
