Popular Post HandyHand Posted September 27, 2017 Popular Post Posted September 27, 2017 Watch at about 0:06 in the video... On the right-side, in front of the Duplo set, we can see a brick-built toy-soldier in the typical Christmas promo packaging! Looks like another promo WINNER again! 14 1 Quote
Jivepicnic Posted September 27, 2017 Posted September 27, 2017 I agree that it looks good. I'm hoping this also means that the snow globes from last year won't be making another appearance as a promo this Christmas. 1 Quote
Brenner Posted September 27, 2017 Posted September 27, 2017 The AFOL eye sees all Much much better than the 24 in 1 promo like 40222...bleh! 2 1 Quote
bagalux Posted September 27, 2017 Posted September 27, 2017 Hmm, not a fan. Looks a bit too Birkcheadz-y for my taste. Quote

HandyHand Posted September 27, 2017 Author Posted September 27, 2017 (edited) I made a better screen grab to see more detail: Set number can also be seen in the video. It's LEGO set 40254. Edited September 27, 2017 by Haay 8 Quote
longshot Posted September 27, 2017 Posted September 27, 2017 A round base would have been nicer and really the legs need an additional 2x to bring it into better proportion, but overall should do well. Quote
marcandre Posted September 27, 2017 Posted September 27, 2017 It's not bad. No gingerbread house but much better than last years incubation chamber. I think it will display better in pairs, think one on each end of the mantle. Could be a winner for qfll in that regard. Quote

Influencer Mom, or David Beckham will talk about this set, sometime before Christmas 2020 and we'll all be swapping this set for UCS Falcon's, let the good times role. 1 Quote

Is my dementia getting worse or did we not get a very similar set last year? maybe moustaches are like MF satellite dishes. 1 Quote
gregpj Posted September 27, 2017 Posted September 27, 2017 That face is terrible... I guess that pig-face designer from the thanksgiving set did this one too. Quote
inversion Posted September 27, 2017 Posted September 27, 2017 (edited) I don't like it. Free stuff is good, but for Christmas I always expect promos that fit into WV. By the way, LEGO is sooo stupid I cannot believe it. If they made this to be an actual limited edition Brickheadz, with a series number and everything, that could boost sales much better. The collector's would definitely purchase something just for the sake of getting it. Edited September 27, 2017 by inversion 4 Quote
fossilrock Posted September 27, 2017 Posted September 27, 2017 Continues to prove that lego peaked from 2012-2015. Its been a slow steady decline from there. Quote

Similar idea, much smaller and more limited execution. I flipped that promo for €10 right away. This 2017 promo should flip for at least €20 right out of the door. Then it will dip to around €14 due to low lives underbidding each other, and then by Christmas 2019 it could well reach over €30. Quote

He looks a bit afraid... "nono please, not another nut to crack!" Now maybe if we turn the brows upside down he can be an angry killer nutcracker. 1 Quote

justapilgrim Posted September 27, 2017 Posted September 27, 2017 Because a santa Brickheadz was too hard? Quote
Darth_Raichu Posted September 27, 2017 Posted September 27, 2017 I take that over the freaky brick built Santa from last year 2 Quote

Both Nutcrackers in general and this LEGO version in particular. Too square and without any real detail. Looks SLIGHTLY better in the bigger/higher res picture, but would rather have had an actual Brickheadz set or something instead tbh. Quote
mtchrs Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 I just came across the said 2017 promo at the Lego store in Warsaw.On the shelf for 49.99PL Quote
Lordoflego Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 Where's złotówka at now? $49.99PLN is what? 15USD? Quote
mtchrs Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 Where's złotówka at now? $49.99PLN is what? 15USD?Yep, around $14 US. Which I thought was a good price. Quote

blue leader Posted October 6, 2017 Posted October 6, 2017 Anyone know if there's going to be a 24 in 1 set again this year? I know some didn't like it, but my kids played with that thing till February. Quote
