Without any rumour in the preceding weeks, a new Carousel Ride (40714) playset showed up on the LEGO website today. Based on the unthemed packaging it’s likely this will be a highly sought after LEGO store exclusive.
The ride will be available for the public on the 1st of March. Taking a ride will cost £21.99/€24.99/$24.95. But it’s unlimited spins once you’ve got your admission.
The set is marketed towards 8+ and has 232 pieces including 3 minifigures. This might seem like poor value for money but the parts selected for this set appear to be quite interesting and better value than PPP might suggest. New parts like a banana peel and ornamental fence are included and a 16×16 Dark Tan plate and blue bird are also not the cheapest parts to pick up from Bricklink or PAB. So this is a set to get quite excited about we think!
So what do you think of this set? Are you lining up to take a ride? Or are you looking for something more thrilling? Share your thoughts in the comments!
