Unboxing the LEGO Santa’s Sleigh (40499) was an exciting experience! The packaging itself is festive, with a beautiful Christmas theme that sets the mood for the holiday season. Upon opening, I found 343 pieces neatly packed and organized in separate bags, making the build process more manageable.

The building process was a joy! It provided a good challenge, especially with the intricate details of the sleigh and the reindeer figures. The instructions were clear, and the pieces fit together seamlessly. I particularly enjoyed assembling the eight buildable, wrapped gifts – they added a delightful touch to the overall design.

Once assembled, Santa’s sleigh, including the reindeer train, stands impressively at around 3 inches high, 11.5 inches long and 2.5 inches wide. The sleigh is wonderfully detailed, with a charming Christmas design. The reindeer figures are equally impressive, each adorned with removable, decorated saddles.

The included Santa minifigure adds to the holiday spirit. He’s posable and has a friendly expression that brings warmth to the scene. Accompanying Santa are four reindeer figures, each unique in its own way. My favorite is the one pulling the sleigh – it has a determined look in its eyes, as if ready for takeoff!

The small details make this set stand out. For instance, the guitar, pair of skis and teddy bear add fun elements to the scene. These can be easily removed or rearranged, adding versatility to the display. I appreciated that LEGO thought about such aspects and included them in the set.

LEGO Santa’s Sleigh (40499) is a fantastic addition to any Christmas collection. It provides hours of enjoyable building and is a beautiful centerpiece for holiday decorations. I would recommend this set to LEGO enthusiasts, young and old, as it offers both fun and challenge in equal measure.

Note While the set does not include batteries, the joy derived from building and displaying Santa’s sleigh is more than enough to power up your holiday spirit. This pre-Christmas gift delight is sure to bring smiles to faces of all ages.
