The holidays are a time for cheer, family, and, of course, festive LEGO^® creations! If you already have the iconic LEGO^® Santa’s Sleigh (40499), you’re in for a treat. How about taking your sleigh to the next level with the Galloping Reindeer Base? This fun and interactive modification brings motion to your display, making your reindeer gallop and your sleigh bounce as if it’s flying through the night sky.

Thanks to the genius of JKBrickworks, this base adds dynamic motion to your LEGO^® Santa's Sleigh. It’s not just a static decoration anymore – it’s alive with movement! As shown in the video below, the reindeer galloping, the sleigh gently rocking up and down, creating a festive and magical display that’ll delight everyone who sees it. 

Key Features:

• Dynamic Motion: The reindeer don’t just sit there – they gallop! Plus, the sleigh rocks up and down, simulating flight for a more realistic holiday scene.
• Modular Design: Whether you have the four reindeer that come with the original set, or you want to expand to a grander version with eight or nine reindeer, this base can grow with your imagination.

• Manual or Powered: You can choose to operate the mechanism manually for a hands-on experience, or motorize it using a Circuit Cubes Geared Motor Cube for a smooth, motorized operation.

• Free Instructions: The best part? The instructions for this fun upgrade are absolutely free! 

To get started, you’ll need the original LEGO^® Santa’s Sleigh (40499) set, plus some extra pieces for the Galloping Reindeer Base. The great news is the instructions are free, so all you need to do is gather your LEGO^® parts and follow the step-by-step guide. Whether you’re adding a few more reindeer or going all out with a fully powered setup, you’ll be amazed at how easy it is to bring this dynamic display to life.

If you want to take things a step further, you can motorize the Galloping Reindeer Base using Circuit Cubes for seamless motion. Or, if you prefer, you can use Powered Up or Power Functions motors for a fully automated setup. Either way, you’ll be able to watch your sleigh and reindeer come to life with minimal effort!

Once you have the sleigh, you can download the free instructions for the Galloping Reindeer Base, grab the extra pieces, and get building. It’s the perfect way to kick off your holiday season with a fun, festive LEGO^® display.
