Review : LEGO ICONS 40757 Corner Kiosk (GWP)

Today we are taking a quick look at the contents of the LEGO ICONS set. 40757 Corner Kiosk, a small box of 205 pieces which will be offered from January 1 to 7, 2025 for the purchase of the LEGO ICONS set 10350 Tudor Corner (229,99 €).

It is a tradition at LEGO, the marketing of the new Structure comes with a small matching promotional product that allows fans to flesh out their dioramas a little. Some are more successful than others, but the effort is regular on the part of the manufacturer.

Since 2022, we have indeed been treated to the set 40532 Vintage Taxi, followed by the set 40586 Moving Truck in 2023 then from the set 40681 Retro Food Truck in 2024. As you may have noticed, these three promotional products featured vehicles. The chain is broken this year and you will have to make do with a small newspaper kiosk that could have been delivered directly in the box of the set 10350 Tudor Corner, the whole thing probably not worth all the energy that went into making it a standalone product. Still, separating two products to give the impression of offering one with the purchase of the other is a tried and tested and effective marketing technique.

Nothing crazy here, everything is quickly assembled and the longest step remains the application of the half-dozen stickers provided (see the scan of the board below). LEGO has skipped the usual stickers in the set 10350 Tudor Corner where everything is pad printed but this little box does not benefit from the same preferential treatment. This kiosk, its newspaper stand and its candy machine can be easily integrated into a street based on Modulars, no doubt about it. Too bad for those who were hoping for a new vehicle in the very British theme of the construction proposed this year.

Two figures are delivered in this box, they do not use any new elements and all the parts used for the characters in question are at least available in another box: the seller's torso is for example delivered in the LEGO IDEAS set 21353 Botanical Garden (€329,99), his cap in Dark Brown is also that of the chimney sweep in the set 10350 Tudor CornerThe young girl's torso is a regular in CITY or Winter Village sets.

Once again, we're not going to complain about LEGO making an effort to offer promotional products that match the sets they're associated with, fans who will fall for the Structure 2025 will definitely find their account there. This box will not however revolutionize the genre, but it should still motivate the most hesitant at the beginning of the year with its simple construction but in the theme of Structure and its two characters who will bring the proposed staging to life.
