Insights

Limited to a 2016 promotional run, the Gingerbread Man (5005156) has seasonal packaging that drives holiday interest, and its short availability creates some scarcity, but non-unique fig design and multiple gingerbread variants have limited long-term upside and left performance cyclically volatile.

Set Facts

The Gingerbread Man minifigure was originally released in 2013 as part of LEGO’s Collectible Minifigures Series 11.
This promotional version of the Gingerbread Man minifigure (5005156) was offered in special packaging resembling a cardboard gingerbread house.
In the United States, it was free with qualifying purchases at shop.LEGO.com, December 2016.

“Though it’s a nice touch to wrap him in a cardboard gingerbread house, I would be happier if LEGO took the extra mile by including his witty ‘Dunk Me’ mug accessory. If you missed on the little guy when he first made his appearance back in 2013 under LEGO’s Collectible... More Minifigures Series 11 (71002), this is your chance to definitely have him without feeling your way at any blind bag.”

BrickEconomy Member Review

“The LEGO Gingerbread Man promotional gift brings back the popular minifigure from 2013's Series 11, now paired with a festive cardboard gingerbread house for display. It's a great opportunity for those who missed the original release to add this festive character to their collection.”

About Seasonal Christmas

Christmas is the Seasonal subtheme for LEGO's holiday sets, and new ones come out every autumn. The earliest are small Santa builds from 1999. Many of the smaller sets are given free with purchases in November and December rather than sold, which is how 40410 Charles Dickens Tribute, a scene from A Christmas Carol, reached most people in 2020.

Christmas was introduced in 1999 and currently consists of 120 sets. As of today, 40489 Mr. and Mrs. Claus' Living Room is the most valuable Christmas set with an estimated new/factory sealed value of $279.

Summary

Seasonal Christmas Gingerbread Man set 5005156 was released in December 2016, retailing for $6, but has since been retired. New, unopened Gingerbread Man sets are valued at $10, while used sets can be found for $6 in good condition.

Add some spice to your LEGO toy play with this new-for-fall-2016 Gingerbread Man minifigure complete with reusable gingerbread-house storage box.
