About LEGO Scarecrow

LEGO Scarecrow (set #40285) is a small, compact build with 24 pieces from the LEGO Brand Store theme, released in 2018. The LEGO Brand Store line features sets exclusive to official LEGO stores and events. This is a starter-level build suitable for ages 4+, with an estimated build time of 10-20 minutes.

Set Highlights

  • 24 pieces at starter complexity — a 10-20 minutes build.
  • Compatible with all standard LEGO sets — bricks extend naturally into other sets you own.
  • Display-focused design — the finished model holds together well on a shelf without support.

Who Is This Set For?

Gift for Ages 4+

The starter difficulty makes this accessible without being trivial — a well-matched gift for LEGO fans in the 4+ age range.

Weekend Build Project

24 pieces with an estimated 10-20 minutes fits comfortably into a focused afternoon or weekend session.

Expanding a LEGO Brand Store Collection

A solid addition for collectors building out their LEGO Brand Store shelf. Introduces parts and builds that complement other sets from the same line.

Build Tips

1

Check the piece count on the bag against the parts list before starting — knowing what you have prevents mid-build surprises.

2

Even in small sets, connection order matters. Follow the steps rather than building sections independently.

3

Keep the instruction booklet after building — it's the most reliable reference for disassembly, cleaning, or reassembly after storage.
