Free reindeer at LEGO.com
Posted by Huw,
40434 Reindeer is the current gift with purchase at LEGO.com. It's free with purchases over £35/$35, until 17th November.
It's a great little model, and even comes with enough parts to build a Rudolph variant...
It contains 75 parts and while there are no particularly rare parts in it, there are some interesting ones, including the 2 gold fez hats used for bells.
As usual, the choice of colours used for the hinge pieces is not the best...
It's a quick and easy build that kids in particular will enjoy.
Thanks to the red cheese slopes used as a bow on one of the gifts there's a spare one that can be put to good use:
Grab it now while you can from LEGO.com.
Thanks to LEGO for providing us with the set. All opinions expressed are my own.

I think it looks cute. Our kids will love it.
I guess there are no suitable hinges to do it properly at this scale...
A nice reindeer, is it even worth it to get: Shrimp Shack Attack, Dino Fossils and some pieces now or is it better to wait for Black Friday offers?
its pretty cute. got it when i ordered my central perk lego set this morning. i'm happy with it cause honestly i didnt expected to get anything free
@The_Teenage_Brickster, in hindsight I'm not sure I like the green background. It causes a greenish tinge on the bricks :)
I picked up 9 of these a couple of years ago when it was sold as 30474 in a polybag.
I was going to say it’s just a reissue with a new set number. The moment I saw it available, I knew. I have that downstairs in my Lego room. I think I may have had a couple of them.
Free Lego is always welcome, but then again I don’t need any of the pieces so I’ll wait.
@Huw the green background looks perfect with no added color cast on my monitor. I love it
Why on earth would they go to the additional cost of changing the packaging and instructions (however small) in order to re-release it so soon under a different number, except to annoy polybag collectors?
Really not liking TLG's direction these days.
I,d buy this for the parts n build something better to be fair..
Looks kinda cute, but I might pass.
As I said when news of this first came out, I already have a full sled team of these including an extra for Rudolph. Got it originally as GWP from Target a few years ago & picked up the extras when they were on clearance after the holidays. I don't get the need for TLG to re-issue these with a different set since it is exactly the same set. I could understand if they had changed the color of a piece or two but it doesn't seem that they made any change to the build. It;s a cute set but I'm waiting for some of the other upcoming GWP's. Hopefully the sets on my wishlist won't be sold out or back-ordered when the new GWP's become available.
It’s the same as Creator 30474 Reindeer set from 3 years ago.
