"With a BrickScore of 80.9 and a perfect 5-star owner rating, 40690 Tribute to Jules Verne's Books earns its Highly Recommended tier as an exceptionally well-designed GWP: both critics called it the best entry in the Historical Tribute series, and the only real knock is a recycled minifigure."
Both expert reviewers agree that 40690 Tribute to Jules Verne's Books is one of the finest GWPs LEGO has produced, with ingenious microscale dioramas of the Nautilus submarine, a steam train bridge, and a hot air balloon bursting from an open book. The format cleverly evokes the earlier 40291 Creative Personalities while introducing innovations like the A-piece book structure and brick-built bookmark. All three LEGO.com owner ratings give it a perfect 5 out of 5, with 100 percent recommending it, fully aligning with the expert consensus.
