LEGO 40701 Ballerina & Nutcracker Scene gift-with-purchase review

Ornate, Christmas-themed and hands-on, 40701 Ballerina & Nutcracker Scene ticks a lot of festive boxes for a LEGO gift-with-purchase.

LEGO 40701 Ballerina & Nutcracker Scene is currently available on all LEGO.com orders over £135 / $150 / €150, while stocks last, until December 12. For reaching that spend threshold shoppers receive a high-quality gift-with-purchase depicting a dancing ballerina in front of a Christmas tree by a starry-night window.

All the features and details built into the set are excellent and add to the festive feeling that the scene depicted exudes. It’s also a hands-on scene with a gear function built into the underside that allows you to move the ballerina left to right and back again across the front of the Christmas tree, and as she moves she turns too. It’s a smart feature backed up by an even smarter build that elevates this GWP to one of the better Christmas ones of recent years.

Available now and through to December 12, 40701 Ballerina & Nutcracker Scene is being awarded free on all LEGO.com purchases over £135 / $150 / €150, while stocks last.
