About LEGO Exclusive

Exclusive is where LEGO sets land that belong to no regular theme, mostly store exclusives, gifts with purchase, event models and one-off projects. Sets here include 40516 Everyone is Awesome from 2021, a rainbow display of single-color minifigures, and the Up-Scaled minifigures such as 40819 Up-Scaled Racing Driver Minifigure.
2021 LEGO Sets
In 2021, LEGO explored digital-physical play with LEGO VIDIYO, a collaboration with Universal Music Group that let users create augmented-reality music videos using minifigures and collectible BeatBits. Although short-lived, the experiment reflected LEGO’s continued pursuit of hybrid play experiences. The LEGO Art series expanded with more display sets inspired by pop culture and design icons, strengthening LEGO’s appeal among adult builders. Established themes such as Star Wars, City, and Technic maintained momentum, while LEGO unveiled prototype bricks made from recycled materials—an early step toward fully sustainable production.
