LEGO’s 2025 gift-with-purchase lineup was broader than a typical promotional year, spanning Lunar New Year decorations, small family bonuses, LEGO Ideas-style display pieces and licensed tie-ins for Star Wars, Harry Potter, Disney, Sonic the Hedgehog, Animal Crossing and The Goonies. This article brings them together in one place, not just as a list, but as a proper recap of what LEGO.com shoppers could unlock during the year. For clarity, the roundup focuses on LEGO.com GWPs attached to qualifying purchases in 2025. It does not count normal retail releases as gifts, and it keeps most Insiders rewards separate because those had to be redeemed with points instead of being added automatically at checkout.
What made 2025 interesting is that LEGO used GWPs in several different ways. Some were broad seasonal extras intended to lift a general shopping window, while others acted almost like launch companions for premium sets. That made the year feel less repetitive than some earlier GWP cycles, especially once several promotions began returning later in the year.
The table below gives the quick overview, and the set-by-set presentation underneath shows what each free gift actually brought to the table.

A closer look at every 2025 LEGO.com GWP
40757 Corner Kiosk
Corner Kiosk was one of the cleanest adult-focused freebies of the year. With its striped awning, public clock, little newsstand details and compact street-corner footprint, it felt like a natural mini companion to the modular building aesthetic rather than a throwaway extra.
That is what made it memorable. LEGO did not try to make it loud or overly gimmicky. Instead, it delivered a tidy slice of city atmosphere that could slide neatly into a street display, a shelf of architectural mini builds, or a broader LEGO Icons layout. For a January GWP, it set a surprisingly strong tone.
40707 Year of the Snake
This Lunar New Year GWP turned the zodiac animal into a small display build, complete with festive details and a decorative base. It worked well as a seasonal gift because it felt specific and collectible without being too large or too expensive-looking for a promotional set.
More importantly, it carried a sense of occasion. LEGO’s zodiac GWPs have become recognizable markers of the early-year calendar, and Year of the Snake kept that tradition going with a model that could stay on display long after the promotion itself had ended.
40756 Lucky Knots
Lucky Knots leaned more into decoration than conventional play. The pair of red hanging ornaments gave LEGO a culturally themed GWP that looked more like home décor than a standard promotional build, which immediately helped it stand apart from vehicle and scene-based freebies.
That decorative angle also made it versatile. Instead of being limited to a LEGO shelf, it could be used more like a seasonal display piece, especially around Lunar New Year celebrations. The fact that it returned later in the year also suggests LEGO saw real value in keeping it in circulation.
40764 Easter Bunny Surprise
Easter Bunny Surprise filled the seasonal spring slot with a compact Easter-themed build. It was the sort of cheerful holiday freebie that broadens appeal beyond hardcore collectors and gives LEGO an easy seasonal talking point during a quieter part of the release calendar.
Sets like this rarely become the most sought-after items of the year, but they serve an important role. They help keep the LEGO.com promotions calendar active, and they give casual buyers something festive and immediate that feels more timely than a generic extra polybag.
40765 Kamino Training Facility
Kamino Training Facility was one of the standout GWPs of 2025 thanks to its clear Clone Wars identity and its inclusion of three minifigures. It looked like a genuine small Star Wars set rather than a purely symbolic add-on, which immediately made it more desirable than many short-lived promotions.
It also benefited from repeat availability. By returning in multiple windows, it became one of the most visible GWPs of the year and one of the easiest examples of LEGO using a themed freebie to strengthen a major licensed category rather than simply to pad out a basket.
30687 Bluey Tea Party
Bluey Tea Party was tiny, but it was not trying to be a premium display reward. Instead, it worked as a family-focused bonus tied to one of LEGO’s softer, younger-skewing licenses, which made it a very different kind of GWP from the adult collector pieces that dominated the second half of the year.
That lighter tone matters. Not every free gift needs to be a major collector talking point. In this case, the value was in brand recognition, accessibility and charm rather than in piece count or aftermarket potential.
40788 Friendly Snails
Friendly Snails was one of the most charming original promotions of the year. Its appeal came from character and presentation rather than brand recognition, which made it stand out in a year dominated by licensed tie-ins and familiar entertainment properties.
It also showed that smaller, more decorative GWPs can still feel special when the concept is strong. The color palette, the sculptural snails and the garden-style base gave it a calm, display-first identity that many adult builders probably appreciated more than another franchise accessory build.
30703 Julian’s Beach Painting
This Animal Crossing bonus leaned into the cozy tone of the video game series. Small as it was, it still had recognizable character appeal and fit the collectible mini-build role well, especially for fans who enjoy the lighter, slice-of-life side of LEGO gaming sets.
It was not designed to dominate a shelf, but it did exactly what a compact licensed bonus should do: reinforce the theme, feel instantly readable, and add one more reason for committed fans to buy during the promotional window.
40769 SEGA Genesis Controller
SEGA Genesis Controller was one of the more adult-oriented GWPs of 2025. The retro gaming angle gave it obvious shelf appeal, especially for buyers who respond more strongly to display nostalgia than to minifigure-driven bonuses or tiny side builds.
That made it a smart fit for a Sonic-related promotional push. Rather than repeating the usual action-scene formula, LEGO used a familiar hardware icon that could attract both Sonic fans and older gaming collectors who simply like seeing classic console history translated into bricks.
40770 Hogwarts Castle: Room of Requirement
This Harry Potter GWP was stronger than average because it connected directly into the larger Hogwarts line. Rather than standing entirely alone, it felt like an extension set for collectors already invested in the modular castle system, which immediately gave it more utility.
That integration is what made it more than a nice extra. For completionists, it slotted into a wider building project. For LEGO, that is exactly the kind of promotion that encourages faster purchasing during a launch window.
40771 TIE Fighter with Imperial Hangar Rack
Tied specifically to 75419 Death Star, this may have been the year’s most purpose-built launch companion. It was a strong example of LEGO using GWPs to make an expensive collector release feel more complete on day one, rather than simply adding a generic bonus to the cart.
That specific connection also gave it long-term appeal. It is the kind of GWP that only makes complete sense next to its parent set, which can actually strengthen collector demand because it feels like a missing scene or accessory rather than a separate curiosity.
40774 Classic Animation Scenes
Classic Animation Scenes targeted Disney nostalgia with a small display build built around interchangeable scenes. That gave it more personality than a fixed one-shot vignette and helped it feel like a more thoughtful freebie than the average tie-in bonus.
The concept also played neatly into Disney’s strength as a multi-generation brand. It could appeal to younger fans through the recognizable characters, but the retro television presentation and interchangeable scene format made it especially effective as a nostalgia object for older buyers.
40773 The Goonies: The Walshes’ Attic
The Goonies bonus was notable because it behaved like a true companion set, expanding the atmosphere around 21363 The Goonies. That gave it more collector value than a generic promo could offer and made it feel tightly tied to the main release rather than loosely adjacent to it.
That sort of companion design is becoming one of LEGO’s more effective premium GWP strategies. Instead of just adding a logo-bearing extra, it offers buyers a small missing scene that deepens the storytelling around the main set.
40779 Year of the Horse
Year of the Horse closed the year by continuing LEGO’s zodiac display line. Smaller than some of the autumn licensed bonuses, it still worked well as a neat seasonal collectible with decorative value and a clear place in LEGO’s growing run of Lunar New Year-adjacent display pieces.
Like Year of the Snake earlier in the year, it showed that not every notable GWP needs to be tied to a giant media brand. Sometimes a clean, culturally themed display model is enough, especially when LEGO buyers already recognize the yearly pattern.
What 2025 shows about LEGO’s GWP strategy
The biggest lesson from 2025 is that LEGO no longer uses one single GWP formula. Some gifts were seasonal and broad, others were clearly aimed at adults, and the strongest of them were designed as extensions of much larger launches. That made the year feel more deliberate and more collectible than a basic list of freebies might suggest.
