Review: LEGO 40371 Limited Edition Easter Egg

Today we quickly tour the LEGO set 40371 Limited Edition Easter Egg, a small box of 237 pieces which will be offered from March 23 to April 13, 2020 from 55 € of purchase without restriction of range.

The Easter egg to be built here partially takes up the principle of what is called the Lowell Sphere, named after its creator Bruce Lowell, with its cubic interior structure and paneling based on panels with visible tenons in gradient.

The construction is divided into three modules with the lower part of the shell, a removable intermediate zone and the cover. Nothing very complicated in terms of assembly techniques, it's simple and repetitive. The DOTS effect is felt here too with many small pieces to align to decorate the shell and a whole lot of additional pieces which aim to fill the lower internal space, the white of the egg. We also assemble a little chick with the eyes of Mixel which logically finds its place in the yolk of the egg.

On arrival we get a big construction that is a little too cubic to really look like an egg. We are also at the limit of converting the thing to BrickHeadz format, which should delight fans of characters with "revisited" morphology. Younger fans eager to discover new techniques may find it beneficial by learning to dress a bob to make it (almost) round.

In short, this small limited edition set (it's marked on the box) mixes genres without really convincing and I'm not sure we'll find many people from next March 23 to force themselves to spend € 55 on the store. official online to get this box.

As usual, tastes and colors are indisputable and it's up to you.

Note: The product shown here, supplied by LEGO, is as usual in play. Deadline fixed at March 22, 2020 next at 23pm.
