The LEGO Ideas theme will end 2024 with a total of nine brand new sets on shelves, and we now have a brand new LEGO Ideas-themed Gift With Purchase rumoured for next month. In particular, this is 40698 Reading, Reading, Reading GWP which will become available in just over a months time from the 28th of October 2024. The 18+ model will include 285 pieces for a currently unknown threshold that we expect to be well over $100.
40698 Reading, Reading, Reading is the winning project of the Singles' Day competition back in 2023. The original idea by Fr_An is based on the brick builders' love for reading which has shone through perfectly in the brick-built model. The set included a large bookshelf placed on a small black diorama display stand.
The bookshelf includes plenty of colourful books, all created using a variety of pieces and techniques. A dark blue leader leans against the bookshelf allowing the single Minifigure included in the original idea to access all the books and the trunks and printed globe sat on top of the furniture. A smart wooden desk and a comfy chair are also included in the small peaceful 18+ scene.
