LEGO Ideas 40788 Friendly Snails GWP Officially Revealed | 1st July 2025

Whilst the LEGO Ideas brand may not be one of the few themes with a set or two launching on the 1st of July 2025, a LEGO Ideas-inspired Gift With Purchase will soon be releasing. This promotional item, in particular, is the winner of 2024's 'Build the Gift of Purchase Set of your Dreams' with Jagamax's 'The Autumn Snails' being available from the 1st to the 7th of July 2025. With the set number 40788 and official set name Friendly Snails, the 18+ model includes a total of 264 pieces with any purchases over $160.

The set itself is a beautifully crafted nature vignette, displayed on a simple black diorama base and featuring many brick-built elements of our natural world. As the name suggests, two brick-built and incredibly detailed snails comprise most of the display model. There's a larger snail with an earthy reddish brown coloured shell, along with a slightly smaller version of the slimy animal that comes with a navy blue shell design.

The smaller snail, in particular, can be found on a brown, mossy log stretching across most of the 18+ diorama. The log, just like the rest of the surrounding forest-like scenery, includes a range of building techniques, earthy colours, multiple leaf elements and a couple of mushrooms for further added details. Amongst all this, we can also find traces of translucent green slime, small rock elements, a puddle and a printed bee.
