Review: LEGO 40564 Winter Elves Scene

Today we go very quickly around the LEGO promotional set 40564 Winter Elves Scene which will be offered from 170 € of purchase without restriction of range on November 19 and 20, 2022.
Except for a few details, the thumbnail is consistent with the scene of the set 40484 Santa's Front Yard offered in 2021 and 2022 and the two dioramas should be able to be displayed side by side without looking too mismatched. It is obviously quickly assembled and quickly placed on the corner of a shelf. No stickers in this box, it only takes a few things for us to rejoice.

There's not really anything to gargle about the contents of this little box, the photos are enough on their own, we will especially remember that we also find there the principle of the mobile ice rink already seen in 2021 in the set promotional 40416 Ice Skating Rink, with a wheel that allows you to rotate the icy surface for a little fun. The designer thought of the possibility of removing one of the elf's skates to fix the minifig on the frozen surface and prevent it from falling during rotations, that's a good idea.

The two figurines delivered here will undoubtedly enrich the festive dioramas of many fans, from there to spending 170 € only to obtain this small box of 372 pieces valued by LEGO at 19.99 €, it will probably be necessary to think about it a little. Unless you collect all the boxes stamped with the red seal "as is"Limited Edition".

In a more general way, it should be remembered that these "gifts" offered under the condition of purchase are only compensation for having agreed to pay for products at their public prices while these sets are for the most part and out of exclusivity. quickly available at reduced prices elsewhere.

The purchase of the promotional product alone via the secondary market combined with that of the product which would have made it possible to reach the minimum amount required but purchased at a reduced price often makes it possible to remain below the public price of the set which will have made it possible to obtain it on the official online store. But in this case, you have to really want to and not just want to "get offered" something just to have the impression of taking advantage of the largesse of the manufacturer.

I'm the first to fall for these offers on a regular basis and I've lost count of the little promotional products that I really don't care about and that end up in the back of a cupboard. In this specific case, the question does not arise, I will anyway place an order of at least 250 € to obtain another promotional set that I do not need, the reference 40563 Tribute to LEGO House.

Note: The set presented here, provided by LEGO, is as usual involved. Deadline fixed at November 25, 2022 next at 23:59 p.m. Just post a comment under the article to participate. Your participation is taken into account regardless of your opinion.
