The Christmas season used to start after Thanksgiving, but this year some retailers (and homes in my neighborhood) kicked it off right after Halloween. That’s cool – Christmas is a fun time of year. If you’re ready to hop on the holiday bandwagon, this 2-in-1 LEGO Christmas Tree set is just the ticket. It normally retails for $44.99, but right now Amazon and Target are selling it for 40% off, meaning you can pick it up for just $27. However, the sale ends tomorrow, Wednesday, November 12, so grab it before it’s gone.

That’s a great deal, considering most LEGO sets traditionally sell for about 10 cents per brick. If you do the math on this one, you’ll find this sale price breaks down to 3.44 cents per brick. So this is a deal even Ebenezer Scrooge would have to think twice before passing up.
So, you can build this set as a single Christmas tree, which when built stands nearly a foot tall. But as stated above, this is a 2-in-1 set, meaning you can use the same bricks to build a second configuration. In this case, the second build is two smaller Christmas trees, which stand roughly 9 inches and 6 inches tall.
I’m a big fan of LEGO sets for adults, so I appreciate sets that act as decorations, and this one certainly qualifies. You can set it out with the rest of your decorations to add some holiday cheer to your house. It’s also a nice addition to a growing number of LEGO Christmas sets available to purchase now (I particularly enjoy the LEGO Star Wars Gingerbread AT-AT Walker).

So if your house or apartment could use a little buildable Christmas decor, now is a great time to pick up this miniature Christmas tree. You get two builds out of it, and when you pick the one you like best, you can set it out for all to see. Happy ho-ho-holidays.
