There’s something undeniably charming about seasonal LEGO sets, and LEGO 40463: Easter Bunny is one of those small but mighty builds that brings joy, colour, and character to a windowsill, table centrepiece, or Easter display. Released in 2021 as part of LEGO’s seasonal BrickHeadz-style holiday lineup, this set is a fun, quick build aimed squarely at families, collectors, and festive decorators.
Let’s dive into the details and see whether this bunny hops its way into your LEGO collection—or just stays in the grass.
🧱 Set Details
- Set Number: 40463
- Name: Easter Bunny
- Theme: Seasonal
- Pieces: 293
- Release Year: 2021
- RRP: €14.99 / £13.49 / $14.99
- Availability: Currently retired, but easy to find on secondary markets
🐰 What’s in the Box?
The set includes:
- A chubby, brick-built tan and white bunny with adorable pink ears and a rounded belly
- A festive springtime base complete with 2 colourful Easter eggs
- Seasonal pastel tones that perfectly capture spring
Despite being a small display set, the presentation is top-notch, with subtle detail that makes it feel more substantial than its 293-piece count suggests.
🔧 Build Experience
This is a compact build, easily finished in 30–40 minutes, making it ideal for a light evening activity with kids or over a cup of tea at the kitchen table. There’s no complexity here, the build uses basic SNOT (studs-not-on-top) techniques to create the bunny’s rounded shapes, with the most interesting design elements being:
- The clever angling of the bunny’s ears
- A nicely integrated base that doesn’t feel like an afterthought
- Layered textures for the flowers and eggs, giving a pop of visual depth
It’s gentle enough for younger builders (ages 4+) to tackle with minimal adult help, and would be a great shared build for parents and kids, Rose, age 4, finished the bunny herself while Luke, 7, occupied himself with Ninjago.
🌸 Display Value
Where LEGO 40463 shines is as a seasonal display piece. The bunny is expressive and sits comfortably within a 10×10 stud base, meaning it’ll nestle neatly into bookshelves, mantels, or on the edge of a LEGO City park during the spring months.
We added this one temporarily into the Redmond’s Forge LEGO City, sitting in a corner of the botanical garden beside the tulips from 10313 and the little watering can from the Friends line. While it’s not to mini-figure scale, it still works thematically as an oversized decoration in the city park, especially during the LEGO spring festival builds.
🎯 Target Audience
This set is ideal for:
- Easter-themed collectors
- BrickHeadz fans (even though this isn’t a formal BrickHeadz entry)
- Parents and kids doing holiday builds together
- Fans of decorative, non-mini-figure LEGO
It also makes a lovely Easter gift alternative to chocolate. And unlike eggs, it won’t melt!
💸 Value for Money
At its original RRP of €14.99, LEGO 40463 was solid value. On the resale market, sealed sets often go for between €18–25, depending on condition and box quality. For collectors completing the full LEGO holiday series (Valentine’s Bear, Halloween Owl, Christmas Penguin, etc.), this bunny is a must-have. If you’re hunting on Done Deal, eBay, or Bricklink, look for one under €20 for best value. We got this one for €5 (with box and instructions) from a customer who we now have bought from 5 times.
✅ Pros & ❌ Cons
✅ Pros:
- Adorable and festive
- Good part selection for spring MOCs (lots of pastels)
- Easy, relaxing build
- Makes a perfect seasonal decoration
- Fits with the Brickheadz display
❌ Cons:
- Not to mini-figure scale (may limit integration into full cities)

🧠 Final Verdict
LEGO 40463: Easter Bunny is a joyful, compact set that excels as a seasonal display piece and light-hearted build. It captures the spirit of Easter without being gimmicky and stands out for its charm and clean design. For collectors of holiday LEGO, it’s a gem. For kids and families, it’s a gentle, rewarding build that bridges the gap between toys and décor.
