Clear all the decorative cobwebs and stop your pumpkin carving as Halloween is now over and attention turns to the run-up to the most festive time of the year, Christmas. November is the month to start planning Christmas presents and start ordering your turkey for the big day and there's no better place to do one of those things than at LEGO stores and online at LEGO shop@home.
With Christmas slowly approaching November is another huge month for LEGO Gift With Purchases especially with Black Friday Weekend starting on Friday the 29th of November 2024. To celebrate this occasion we'll not only be seeing the release of 10335 The Endurance Ship but a corresponding GWP of 40729 James Caird Boat. 76294 X-Men: The X-Mansion and 21353 The Botanical Garden are the other two costly sets releasing this month.
Along with Black Friday Weekend, we also have LEGO Insiders Weekend so expect a flurry of GWPs, promotions and other welcomed gifts around these weekends along with all the other promotional items we know about for November 2024:
40698 Books Are My Passion
Our first GWP on this list is one that appeared in October's article of 40698 Books Are My Passion. Since that article at the start of last month, the only LEGO Ideas branded GWP of the year of 40698 has been officially revealed along with confirmation of its threshold and availability. The 18+ model will be available from the 28th of October until the 11th of November 2024 with any purchases over $130.
The build itself is a diorama-like build with a bookshelf that includes plenty of colourful books, all created using a variety of pieces and building techniques. A black ladder leans against the bookshelf allowing the single generic Minifigure included in 40698 to access all the books and the trunks and printed globe sat on top of the furniture. A smart wooden desk, a plant and a comfy armchair are also included in the small peaceful display scene.
