Insights

Limited to Inside Tour attendees, The Vault Memory Lane is a NotForRetail 2024 LEGO Inside Tour Exclusive whose extremely small run and event-specific Vault-themed design make sealed examples scarce, and while historical Inside Tour releases support collector demand, low trading volume can produce volatility.

Set Facts

In December 2022, LEGO's product archive, "The Vault," was relocated to the top floor of the former woodworking factory, built in 1942, to accommodate a growing collection. The Vault now holds over 9,000 LEGO sets, arranged chronologically from 1958 to the present. The exhibit includes cases displaying wooden and plastic toys from LEGO's early days.
There’s also a green LEGO 3D-printed duck in the display shelves, which is a new color variant of the red version which was handed out to select participants at AFOL Day 2023 at the LEGO House.
The back of the box - "The mythical LEGO® Vault is a place only few will get to experience.

The LEGO sets which are part of the model have been carefully selected to represent some of the most iconic sets and product lines throughout LEGO history. You will find sets representing LEGO City, LEGO Technic, LEGO Friends, LEGO Fabuland", LEGO MINDSTORMS® and so on. And then there are the items specifically selected by Henrik Andersen to give this set that special, personal touch. These include sets Henrik was gifted as a child, some that he has designed during his many years working as a LEGO designer and, finally, a set which was chosen as a tribute to a late LEGO designer colleague.
The 2024 Inside Tour set, LEGO 4000042 The Vault Memory Lane, replicates the design of the LEGO vault safe visited during the Inside Tour.
This set includes a dark green, 3D-printed duck model, a rare piece previously released only once at a 2022 LEGO House event.
Designed by Stuart Harris with final adjustments by Henrik Andersen, the set's back pattern matches the exterior of the building where the vault is located.

The mythical LEGO® Vault is a place only few will get to experience.
A product archive containing close to every LEGO set ever produced, the Vault is located in the heart of the town of Billund, on the top floor of the LEGO Group’s very first factory used for the production of wooden toys.

With this year’s exclusive LEGO Inside Tour set, we invite you to take a stroll down memory lane and revisit some of your most treasured LEGO memories.

With the new location also came the idea of creating a LEGO model showing this fascinating archive. LEGO Inside Tour attendees get a glimpse of this secret room through this year’s exclusive set. LEGO House Master Builder Stuart Harris has been responsible for designing and building the main interior.

“Obviously, we couldn’t recreate the archive with the thousands of sets, but we wanted to create a flavour of the experience visitors get when they venture into The Vault,” Stuart Harris explains.
