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.
2014 LEGO Sets
2014 brought The LEGO Movie to theaters, propelling LEGO to unprecedented mainstream success and spawning its own theme. LEGO Star Wars celebrated 15 years, while Ninjago—originally planned for retirement—was extended following strong sales and a hit TV series. The first minifigure-scale Minecraft sets appeared, and LEGO The Simpsons launched with The Simpsons House and a dedicated minifigure series. Other additions included LEGO Juniors and the digital-physical LEGO Fusion, while a fan-designed Ghostbusters Ecto-1 commemorated the film’s 30th anniversary. Galaxy Squad, The Lone Ranger, and The Lord of the Rings ended during this period.
