Black Friday weekend may be almost over but promotions at LEGO store and LEGO shop@home are not done just yet before the big day. That's right, LEGO looks to ensure that its wide range of sets will be purchased throughout the run-up to Christmas with the release of two brand new Gift With Purchase. One of these GWPs in particular is 40701 Ballerina & Nutcracker Scene which includes 244 pieces once it becomes available starting on the 6th December 2024. It'll be available for a substantial period of time, until the 31st of December 2024, with any LEGO purchases over either $150 or $160.
The 9+ model recreates a beautiful Christmas diorama of a spinning Ballerina with a Nutcracker in her hand. The Ballerina is the only Minifigure included in 40701 and comes with a white tutu and a fully white torso and legs. She holds a red microscale figure in her hand, used to represent the nutcracker. Together, they stand on a light blue section used to signify ice that can be twisted using cog pieces to make the figure spin and dance.
Behind the spinning Ballerina Minifigure is a beautiful, cosy Christmas scene. There's a brick-built Christmas tree, a mixture of different-coloured and sized presents, big red curtains allowing us to view the starry night outside, and plenty more Christmas decorations. All this sits on the diorama-like scene, which acts like a section of a Westend Christmas performance.
