LEGO Creator 40900 Scary Haunted Tree Revealed as New Gift-With-Purchase

LEGO.com has just unveiled a new seasonal gift-with-purchase, the 40900 Scary Haunted Tree, and it’s looking appropriately spooky. This 218-piece Creator set promises to add some Halloween flair to your collection, featuring a black tree with posable arms and a mouth that lights up when you press a button. It also comes with a small pumpkin and a crow build, making it a nice little diorama piece for the spooky season.

The set is designed for builders aged 8 and up, and the press release highlights its potential as both a fun building activity and a decorative item. The tree itself stands over 6 inches tall, 3 inches long, and 7 inches wide, offering a decent display presence for its implied size as a GWP. The light-up feature adds a nice interactive element, perfect for creating eerie scenes or just spooky ambient lighting for your desk.

While the exact purchase threshold or availability details are still unknown, it's expected to be a gift-with-purchase, meaning you'll need to spend a certain amount on LEGO products to snag it. This is a common tactic for LEGO, especially with seasonal sets, to encourage larger orders. The article from Brickset notes that details are scarce, but more information should surface soon. This is typical for new GWP announcements, where the initial reveal is followed by official confirmation of dates and spending requirements.

The comments section on Brickset shows a mix of reactions, with some users finding it "very cute" and comparing it to previous seasonal GWPs like last year's ghost set. Others are already making humorous comparisons to pop culture characters. The consensus is that it’s a charming addition for Halloween fans, especially with the light-up function. No official Indian pricing or release date has been announced yet, and it's not currently listed on any Indian retail sites.

The US retail price for this set, if it were sold individually, is $24.99 USD. This translates to an estimated import price of ₹3,400 (calculated as $24.99 1.35 96, rounded to the nearest ₹100). That's enough for approximately two large pizzas or a month of unlimited metro travel in some cities. MyBrickHouse and Toycra are the usual suspects to watch for official releases, but expect this to be a gift-with-purchase only, likely requiring a minimum spend. Use code ABHINAV12 for 12% off on orders above ₹500 at Toycra (we earn a commission).

Given its status as a gift-with-purchase and the lack of confirmed availability through official Indian channels, it’s currently only accessible through import or by meeting the spending threshold on LEGO.com when it eventually launches globally. Keep an eye on official LEGO channels for more details.

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

On that bombshell, bubyee.
