Not Harry Potter lego news, for a change, but there's a new Gift With Purchase (GWP) available as of tomorrow (which generally means midnight. No clue how quickly this set will disappear from the shelves, but if you were thinking of making any large lego purchases, particularly the Jazz Club modular (which, so cute!), now would be a good time to snag them.
The lego Icons, 40586 the Moving Truck with 301 pieces GWP is officially available from 21st February through 03rd March 2023 with purchases upwards of 180 EUR in Germany (the amount can vary depending on your country). Those dates can vary, too. Generally speaking, when it's sold out, it's gone and won't reappear, so if you want it, place your orders sooner as opposed to later.
As you can see, it's meant to accompany this year's addition to the lego Modulars - 10312 the Jazz Club. Small note on lego's efforts to expand inclusivity: the bassist sports a hearing aid. It's a small detail, but I love that they go there. ❤️ I'm fond of the retro design of the truck as well, as the building isn't necessarily fixed in the modern day.
In addition to the moving van (in appropriate retro look) with dolly, it includes a jukebox, a piano, a saxophone artwork, a box, side table and lamp and two mini figs to load everything into the truck.
It just so happens that
I've digitally modelled this set on mecabricks. No stickers obviously, but considering I didn't have instructions or a part list, I think I've pretty much nailed it.
The official build again for comparison:
Cute feature, everything included can be tidily stacked inside of the van, so there's no need to stick the horse's cart on your roof, say. (My that was oddly specific, for no reason whatsoever I'm sure... 😘)
So of course I played with doing that for my model as well...
And of course once everything is tidily stowed, any friend kind enough to help you move would be sure to stick around to see you on your way.
