Review: LEGO 40449 Easter Bunny's Carrot House (GWP)

A few days before the launch of the promotional offer which will make it possible to be offered this box from 60 € of purchase, today we take a quick look at the LEGO set. 40449 Easter Bunny's Carrot House.

A reduced inventory of 232 pieces, no minifig, a large handful of stickers, this set has a priori some of the usual handicaps but it seems to me sufficiently original and creative to justify that we are interested in it. It is therefore a question of assembling here a little Easter bunny and his carrot-shaped house. The idea is original and I find that it is rather well executed.

You won't spend long hours putting the contents of this box together, but the assembly is relatively entertaining. A plinth, two walls, a door and a few covering elements which come to press against the visible tenons, it is well thought out and the result is visually very correct. The back of the house is not closed, probably to give access to whoever wants to play with it. The designer even added a bathroom cabinet under the mirror, just to fill the space a little.

There are about fifteen stickers to stick in this small box, or one sticker every four assembly steps. Those which give a little relief to the carrot are quite successful, even if their background color is not completely in line with the parts tinted in the mass which receive them. We will do with it.

On the inventory side, we obtain in particular three eggs, one of which is Tan already seen in several boxes and two in Medium Lavender which were previously only available in the Trolls World Tour set 41255 Pop Village Celebration. We also get a pad printed trunk and a little more than 80 pieces of orange color, the Moceurs may find their happiness there.

Thinking about it, I would have exchanged the provided rabbit for a minifig disguised as a rabbit in the style of the one in the set 853990 Easter Bunny House sold last year by LEGO which had only been entitled to a cardboard house. If you have this set on hand, you can possibly combine its content with that of this new reference.

In short, this pretty little box will be offered from 60 euros of purchase without restriction of range from March 15, 2021 and I think that I will make the effort to pay for one or two boxes at a high price to get it. It's creative, it's cute, it's fun to put together, so there's no reason not to go for it.

Note: The set presented here, provided by LEGO, is as usual involved. Deadline fixed at March 26, 2021 next at 23pm.
