“Also in the microscale is a brick-built hot air balloon and a golden Nautilus submarine. All of this references Jules Verne and adds to an Easter egg-heavy build for an incredible author from France. And of course, the 351 pieced build isn't complete without the man himself... More as Jules Verne is included as an exclusive Minifigure in 40690.”

Jays Brick Blog

“Out of all the historical LEGO Tribute GWPs, 40690 Tribute to Jules Verne’s Book is right up there, and is quite possibly one of the finest LEGO GWPs that LEGO have ever made. It has everything you could want in a promotional LEGO set, with an engaging build filled with... More ingenious techniques, a cool minifigure, and a visually interesting model to display with.”
