LEGO 40056 Thanksgiving Feast

This will be a quick one since it is a polybag set. I bought this from eBay from a seller who had not responded to my question by the the auction ended. The scene for this set is a Thanksgiving feast. Here is a look at the polybag packaging. It has the standard bright yellow.

The larger pieces are in loose form, the smaller pieces in a smaller separate polybag. The instructions as usual are in the form of a booklet.

I must say I bought it mainly because it was full of those accessories. Certainly it was not for the minifigures where are really plain vanilla one which one can find any Lego City set. Of course their faces are better than the classic ones found in the modular sets but really, nothing is very special about the 2 minifigures.

Next are the 2 cats. Sadly there are no printing on them. Makes them look a bit like zombie cats. If we start talking about the accessories, oh my there are a lot to talk about, not even sure where to start so I will mention the more prominant ones. The trans clear wine bottle has the ship printing that can be also found in the PoTC Captain Log Cabin. The pie was first found in the CMF series 5 Small Clown so it an uncommon. The full turkey with 2 drumsticks is an uncommon item as well.

So of course without hesitation, my first thought would be which modular building would be fitting for it? The first set to come to my mind was the Green Grocer. Thankfully there was enough space to put in the big table into it though it was a slight snug fit.

Overall a nice set to add some accessories to any dinner table scene in your Lego build. For SGD$15 bucks, it is of course horrible in terms of price per piece but one must remember most of the 46 pieces are mostly those accessory parts which are not that easy to get and are the prime reason to get this set. Plus it is not available in Singapore so the price is pretty reasonable. Actual retail if it can be found in US is USD$7.99. So the guy who sold it to me maybe made a profit margin of 3 dollars from me? Which is not too bad because on must also consider the shipping costs.

To close off, we are getting close towards Thanksgiving and Christmas. This set is like a appetizer for the month of November and leads into December. I have bought some Seasonal sets and cannot wait to build them at the start of December.
