On the LEGO Shop: the 40590 Houses of the World 2 set is free with purchases over €250

As expected, LEGO is offering a copy of the set starting today 40590 Houses of the World 2 from 250 € of purchase and without restriction of range. It's hard to criticize the content of this little box of 270 pieces, the theme developed won't please everyone, but you have to admit that it's nicely executed.

We therefore assemble a micro-modular that reuses the emblematic characteristics of its big brothers from the LEGO ICONS range with a removable floor and roof, some micro-furniture that fills the different spaces available and a finish that is very satisfactory given the the scale of the building. Too bad for the sheet of stickers, these promotional products available only from a very high amount should be able to do without.

We can also wonder what to do with the construction once the assembly is complete, there is nothing very exciting here to display prominently on the corner of a shelf. Those who want to build a diorama on the Indiana Jones theme will perhaps find something there to furnish the background of their staging via a forced perspective: this somewhat caricatural reproduction of a typical habitat in North Africa, after the official description of the product, seems to me quite appropriate.

It is indeed the conditions of the offer which makes it possible to obtain this set which are more debatable with a very high minimum purchase amount set at 250 €. Many will oppose me that with 250 € at LEGO, we don't have much, but it's still a shame not to put this pretty little set within the reach of more customers. Knowing that this box is also one of four to collect on the same theme, it will therefore be necessary to spend at least 1000 € in LEGO products and at their maximum public price to collect all the promised products.

It may therefore be wise to turn to the secondary market if this small collection tempts you, the savings made by buying cheaper elsewhere than at LEGO should allow you to finance the acquisition of the four boxes concerned. It's up to you.
