LEGO Brings Back a Few More GWPs & 2x Insiders Points on Select Sets

December 25, 2025 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

I guess LEGO isn’t done with the promotions for 2025 as they have brought back a few from the past including 2x Insiders points on select sets, all of which end at the end of the year. First is the LEGO Star Wars TIE Fighter with Imperial Hangar Rack (40771) when you purchase the Ultimate Collector Series Death Star (75419).

When you purchase the LEGO Harry Potter Hogsmeade Village – Collectors’ Edition (76457), you can get the Hogwarts Castle: Room of Requirement (40770).

For the general purchase GWPs, you can get the LEGO Creation Celebration: Ferris Wheel with Fireworks (40758) when you make a purchase of $85 or more and the LEGO Spring Festival Lucky Knots (40756) when you make a $150 purchase. This would work great on some of the End-of-Year Sales or any sets that are retiring at the end of the year.

For the double Insiders points sets, you can get some extra points when you purchase the LEGO Icons Holiday Express Train (10361), LEGO Icons Shelby Cobra 427 S/C (10357), LEGO The Simpsons Krusty Burger (10352), and LEGO Ideas Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (21360). Other countries have other sets listed for double points.

The set has 132 pieces and it features a cartoony version of the horse from the Chinese Zodiac and it should start being available on December 23. It is the last of the Zodiac animals in this style with the first one being the Sheep (40148) from 2015. The Year of the Horse should be available at the beginning of 2026.
