LEGO Promotional 40690 Tribute to Jules Verne's Books

LEGO set 40690, Tribute to Jules Verne's Books, presents a promotional model inspired by Jules Verne and his literary work. Released in 2024 under the Promotional theme, it contains 351 pieces and includes the Jules Verne minifigure.

Tribute to Jules Verne's Books is listed in the LEGO Promotional theme. Its subject is Jules Verne and the idea of his books, rather than a current entertainment licence. That places it among promotional releases with a cultural and commemorative focus.

The set suits collectors of promotional LEGO items, readers interested in Jules Verne and builders looking for a display piece with a literary subject. Within the Promotional theme, it stands apart through its biographical angle, rather than through a vehicle, building type or broad play setting.
