LEGO 2012 / Promotional / LEGO Brand Store Opening Set Sets

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.

2012 LEGO Sets

2012 was a landmark year highlighted by LEGO’s 80th anniversary and major licensed expansions. LEGO The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit joined the lineup alongside Marvel and DC Super Heroes, establishing enduring partnerships with both comic universes. LEGO Friends debuted, introducing mini-doll figures and Heartlake City, becoming one of LEGO’s most successful modern themes. Other launches included Monster Fighters, Disney Princess, and Dino. Alien Conquest, Atlantis, Pharaoh’s Quest, Kingdoms, and Harry Potter retired, though Harry Potter would later return in 2018.
