LEGO 40590 Houses of the World 2 is a 2023 Promotional set focused on a stylised house within the idea of homes from around the world.
Set 40590 Houses of the World 2 belongs to the Promotional theme and presents a compact architectural subject. Its name places it in a collecting concept centred on houses of the world, rather than in a story driven licence.
The build uses 270 pieces and keeps the building itself as the main content.
The set is most relevant to collectors of LEGO Promotional releases and to builders who enjoy compact architecture models. It can stand on its own or be placed alongside other decorative promotional sets. Within its theme, its identity comes from the house subject, the 2023 release year and the absence of figures.
