LEGO 40900 Scary Haunted Tree is This Week's Surprise Hit

This week's LEGO set popularity charts have thrown a curveball, and it's not a giant, soulless space station or a ridiculously oversized vehicle. No, the surprise standout is the LEGO 40900 Scary Haunted Tree, a set that has apparently captured the imagination of builders everywhere this past week. While the usual suspects like the Burj Khalifa and some older fan-favourites popped up, it's this spooky little tree that's earned a spot in the top viewed sets on Brickset.

The list, compiled from set detail page views, shows the Scary Haunted Tree climbing the ranks. It's a curious phenomenon, especially for a set that isn't part of a major ongoing theme or a highly anticipated new release. The other sets making waves include the Burj Khalifa (21055), Aquabase Invasion (7775), Yoda Bust (75255), Black Knight's Castle (6086), and the Lion Knights' Castle (10305). It’s interesting to see older sets like Aquabase Invasion and even the rather obscure 75201 First Order AT-ST resurfacing in the top viewed. Some fans on Reddit are speculating that these older sets are appearing due to discussions on forums about "worst sets ever" or nostalgic deep dives, which makes a certain kind of sense.

However, the real mystery is the Scary Haunted Tree. What's driving the sudden interest? Without official details on its release, theme, or price point, it's hard to say. It could be a new seasonal item, a small promotional build, or perhaps it's just a visually striking piece that caught people's eye. Whatever the reason, its surge in popularity is undeniable.

Unfortunately for those in India looking to snag this particular piece of plastic, it appears to be unavailable through official channels. There are no listed prices on Indian retail sites, and the set number doesn't correspond to any officially released product here.

The LEGO 40900 Scary Haunted Tree is not currently available at any official Indian retailer. Based on its likely USD retail price of $19.99, the estimated import price lands around ₹2,700. That's roughly enough for 18 cups of good chai or a decent weekend binge on Netflix. MyBrickHouse and Toycra are the stores to watch for potential availability, though expect a 4–6 week lag from any global launch. Use code ABHINAV12 for 12% off on orders above ₹500 at Toycra (we earn a commission).

Given the lack of official Indian retail presence, the only way to acquire the 40900 Scary Haunted Tree right now is through unofficial import channels or if you happen to be travelling abroad. Until LEGO India decides to bring this particular haunted tree to our shores, it remains a bit of an enigma.

AVOID

Verdict: IMPORT ONLY. Not in Indian stores — grey market or wait.

On that bombshell, bubyee.
