As early as the 1st of September 2024 we saw LEGO start to release this year's festive sets including six brand new brick-built advent calendars. But as we head closer to December LEGO will continue pushing the festive fun including the release of a brand new Gift With Purchase to kick off the last month of the year.
In particular, on the 1st of December 2024, we'll see the release of the promotional item 40700 Christmas Train for a currently unknown threshold. The LEGO Creator branded Christmas model includes 294 pieces suggesting a threshold around the $120-150 point for a most likely two week period depending on other Christmas promotions which will also release throughout the busy month of December.
The set itself represents a small brick-built Christmas train similar to a previous seasonal GWP of 40318 Christmas Train. The 2015 model included 233 pieces so 40700 will be a slightly bigger train and this can be seen quite well. However, just like 40318, 40700 Christmas Train will not be compatible with the usual LEGO train tracks and will instead be in more of a microscale form.
The main colours of the set are green and black. The two carriages of the train include the festive green colouring whilst the actual locomotive is black. However, expect plenty of smaller festive, Christmas details just like 40318 Christmas Train included a Christmas tree, plenty of snow, candy canes, Christmas gifts and much more.
