LEGO Halloween Set 40697 Light Up Jack-o’-Lantern GWP Officially Revealed | 1st October 2024


As we get ever closer to the end of September we also get ever closer to a brand new month - the spookiest month of all 12, October. The latest Halloween set available for 2024s Halloween is a brand new spooky Gift With Purchase of 40697 Light Up Jack-o’-Lantern. The LEGO Creator branded GWP launches on the 1st of October 2024 and will most likely last for around two weeks in stores and online for any purchases over a rumoured $120 threshold.


For many brick builders, 40697 Light Up Jack-o’-Lantern will seem like many LEGO Halloween GWPs from previous years but in fact, 40697 includes a light brick - a highly valued piece in any LEGO set but particularly a promotional item such as this one. The light brick will be included inside the brick-built orange pumpkin which has to be one of the most detailed and beautifully built LEGO pumpkins to date.


The orange pumpkin complete with spooky and sinister eyes, mouth and nose sits on a patch of green grass. The grass isn't very detailed and is mainly made up of a couple of small plates. However, to the model's left sits some autumnal-coloured leaves alongside a simple yet terrifying brick-built white ghost. He, like the pumpkin, includes a sinister-looking face even though it's created using only a couple of simple pieces.


Another great element of the set, along with our first-ever light-up LEGO pumpkin, is the ability to customize both the pumpkin and the ghost. The carved sinister face of the pumpkin can be easily swapped out for another, more friendly and less spooky-looking, brick-built face. The ghost can also be given a more friendly face simply by moving its single mouthpiece by 180 degrees.
