Insights

Limited to internal employee distribution, the 40 Years LEGO Minifigure Employee Exclusive (4002018) trades on durable scarcity and broad minifigure collectibility from its anniversary theme, and while employee-gift history supports post-retirement demand, episodic volatility from a niche buyer pool is a factor.

Set Facts

The LEGO 4002018 “40 Years” Employee Exclusive was given as a Christmas/holiday gift to LEGO employees in 2018 (never sold in retail).
The set includes a brick-built Santa (St. Nick), a reindeer, a sled, and some hidden “gifts” inside the build.
It includes three reissued minifigures: Blacktron (with black hands), a doctor (female), and a pirate with blue jacket.
It is also called "Christmas Gift Santa’s Sleigh and Reindeer".
40 Years LEGO Minifigure Employee Exclusive was designed by LEGO designers Carl Merriam and Max Valembois.

Investors

“Distinctively colored in white, blue, and green, these little boxes are not so plain looking once you see what’s inside of them: the blue gift contains a minifig that is a shout out to the classic Doctor minifigure that first appeared in 1986’s Town Minifigures (6301). The... More green gift comes with a classic Pirate minifigure that appeared in 1993’s Skull’s Eye Schooner (6286). The white gift box still remains a mystery and we have no idea yet on what could be inside this piece of gem.”

“The 2018 LEGO Employee Christmas Gift Santa’s Sleigh and Reindeer (4002018) is such a beautiful set that brings with it plenty of surprises. It may not be available to all fans of the brick, but it’s nice to know the kind, and thoughtful gestures that LEGO gives to its... More employees through this nicely designed set.”
