April 2023 is set to be a big month for GWPs, with a number of appealing (but pricey!) offerings.

First up, we have 40590 Houses of the World 2, which will be available fromLEGO.comas a free gift with a likely spend of US$250 / AU$400 / £220 / €250 or more from 1 – 9 April 2023.

It’s a really neat-looking set, inspired by North African architecture and will be a great addition if you’ve already own 40583 Houses of the World 1.

There are four in this series to collect, and the next ones should be released on a quarterly basis, so expect Houses of the World 3 in June, and Houses of the World 4 in September.

After Houses of the World 2, we have 40588 Flowerpot, a new Botanical-themed GWP that looks exquisite.

It will be available from 14 to 24 April, and there was a bit of confusion around the GWP threshold, which has now been confirmed to be US$150 / €150 / £130 onLEGO.com orders. The threshold is slightly more accessible than Houses of the World 2, and this will make for a great Mother’s Day gift.

See below for regional information and details for all the April GWPs and offers.

If you’re in the US, LEGO.com have begun clearing some hard-to-move sets, with 76215 Black Panther on sale for 40% off, for all you bargain hunters. Check out the sale section for more sets on sale.

One of the most anticipated releases in April has to be the long-awaited return of LEGO Indiana Jones, which reimagines 3 classic Indiana Jones sets with modern building techniques and minifigures.

Three sets are available from 1 April 2023 (sorry Temple of Doom fans – it’s not coming), and these should be available from most toy shops, so if you’re patient, you should be able to get them at a discount or on sale.
