The Brothers Brick
“If you have either of the original LEGO hot rod sets in your collection, you really want to have this modern, refreshed version to display together with the figures. If you're new to collecting LEGO, it's still a worthy addition just for a quick yet detailed build to add as... More a companion to any Speed Champions vehicle collection.”

“2020 seems to be a great year for gift-with-purchase promotions and the LEGO Hot Rod (40409) seems to fit the bill. It also puts a check mark next to another set that hits the nostalgia factor as well.”

“This is a decent little freebie, especially since there aren’t that many LEGO hot rod vehicles around. It’s the perfect match for the LEGO Creator Expert Corner Garage modular and would certainly look great cruising the streets of LEGO City. The spend limit is a little high... More in my opinion, but this seems to be the new normal for LEGO GWP sets of this sort”

About Creator

The LEGO Creator theme consists of a variety of subthemes that revolve around sets that focus on buildings, creatures, vehicles, robots and recently more specialized sets such as botanical and even the Chinese New Year. Many of these sets have fallen under the 3-in-1 label which include instructions in a single set to provide multiple alternative models. Originally created in 2001 with a focus on larger bucket sets, the LEGO Creator theme has expanded outside just bricks to later include minifigures.
Summary
Creator Hot Rod set 40409 was released in June 2020, retailing for $13, but has since been retired. New, unopened Hot Rod sets are valued at $21, while used sets can be found for $15 in good condition.
