LEGO 40699 Retro Record Player is a 2024 Promotional set depicting a retro styled record player.

Retro Record Player recreates a familiar audio object in LEGO form. Within the Promotional theme, it is not presented as part of a story driven licence or character based range. Its subject is the object itself, with the build focusing on the recognisable idea of a record player.

This model is suited to display, to collectors of Promotional releases, and to builders interested in LEGO versions of everyday objects. Among Promotional sets, it stands as a self contained decorative build that can be displayed on its own or placed alongside other object based models.
