About LEGO Exclusive Employee Gift
LEGO Employee Gift sets are special sets created by the LEGO Group exclusively for their employees, typically distributed as holiday gifts or to mark significant company milestones. These sets are not sold to the public, making them rare and highly collectible. Examples include the 50 Years on Track set (4002016) celebrating the company's railway history, and the exclusive Christmas sets released annually. The tradition of employee gift sets began in 2008, and these sets often feature unique designs and themes, reflecting both the company's heritage and innovative spirit.
2013 LEGO Sets
2013 introduced Legends of Chima, a heavily promoted fantasy line positioned as Ninjago’s successor, complete with a companion TV series. Licensed debuts included Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Lone Ranger, and new DUPLO tie-ins for Jake and the Never Land Pirates and Mickey Mouse. Collectors pursued the ultra-rare Mr. Gold minifigure from Series 10, limited to just 5,000 worldwide. This year also marked LEGO’s shift from 4-digit to 5-digit set numbering as Monster Fighters, SpongeBob SquarePants, Cars, and Dino concluded.
