About LEGO Brand Store Opening Set

A LEGO Brand Store Opening Set, also known as 'Grand Opening Exclusive Commemorative Sets' are typically given to a limited number of store customers during a multi-day grand opening event of a new LEGO brand retail store. During the second day of the event, for most stores, a limited number of sets, typically between 300 to 500 are given to customers who spend a minimum purchase of around $50. Each set is numbered and sets on the secondary market or pretty limited as most customers who are kids open their packs quickly.
