The Danish LEGO toy company recently unveiled its new Gift-with-Purchase set, numbered 40766, "Tribute to Jane Austen's Books"!
Jane Austen, an English novelist born in 1775, is most famous for her enduring classic work, 'Pride and Prejudice'. This scene, completed with 361 pieces, measures 11 cm high and approximately 13 cm long. The entire model resembles an open book and recreates a corner of Jane Austen's home. One can see an exquisite piano, bookshelves, a small writing desk with a quill, a fireplace, and LEGO artwork hanging on the wall, possibly depicting scenes from 'Pride and Prejudice', 'Sense and Sensibility', or 'Emma'. Coupled with the signature tile placed at the base, the overall set is a highly meaningful and exquisite model.
Detailed sales information has not yet been announced. However, we can refer to the "40690 Tribute to Jules Verne's Books" set, which was released around the same time last year. That set was available as a free gift with purchases over US$150 at LEGO Stores from June 24th to June 30th, 2024. It can be inferred that this "40766 Tribute to Jane Austen's Books" will likely follow a similar pattern.
