About LEGO Exclusive Gift with Purchase
LEGO's "Gift with Purchase" (GWP) promotions offer exclusive sets as complimentary additions when customers make qualifying purchases, either online or in-store. These limited-time offers often feature unique builds, seasonal items, or commemorative sets, enhancing the value of the purchase and providing collectors with exclusive content. Examples include the Swing Ship Ride (2021), a miniature amusement park attraction; the Buildable 2x4 Teal Brick (2020), a larger-scale version of the classic LEGO brick; and the Rickshaw and Paifang Gateway (2020), celebrating cultural architecture. Such GWPs not only incentivize purchases but also enrich the LEGO building experience with unique and collectible items.
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.
