Lego 40603 Wintertime Carriage Ride

This item is a brand new, unopened Lego set, specifically identified as 'Lego 40603 Wintertime Carriage Ride.' The set is presented in its original retail packaging, a rectangular cardboard box predominantly in a dark green color, with a red vertical stripe on the left side featuring the iconic 'LEGO' logo in white. The front of the box displays a vibrant illustration of the assembled set: a classic-style horse-drawn carriage. The carriage itself is dark red with intricate gold-colored wheels and accents, including a lamp. It is being pulled by a brown Lego horse. Three Lego minifigures are depicted with the carriage: a driver in a dark suit and top hat, and two passengers, one an adult and one a child, both dressed in winter attire with scarves. Key specifications are visible on the box front, indicating it is suitable for ages '9+' and contains '153 pcs/pzs' (pieces). The bottom edge of the box clearly states 'LIMITED EDITION' in multiple languages, suggesting potential collectibility or a specific release window. A small green circular graphic with a gift box icon is also present on the top right corner, possibly indicating it's a gift-with-purchase or a special holiday item. The box appears to be in excellent condition with no visible tears, dents, or wear, preserving its 'new in box' status. The craftsmanship of Lego sets is generally high quality, with interlocking plastic bricks designed for durability and precise fit, allowing for detailed model construction. The 'Wintertime' theme, coupled with the holiday packaging icon, positions this set as a seasonal or celebratory release.
