LEGO Insiders Day Promo Live – Restaurants of the World: Greece (40908) GWP

August 10, 2026 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The LEGO Insiders Day shopping event is now live on the LEGO Shop and it includes the Restaurants of the World: Greece (40908) gift with purchase set. The set will be available with purchases of $180 or more until August 20, while supplies last.

For the one day promo, you can get 500 extra Insiders points with your first order of the day. There doesn’t seem to be any code to redeem so I guess it just adds it to your account after your purchase.

Also, the LEGO Pokemon Premier Ball (30729) is available for free with $40 purchases until August 16, while supplies last.

Lastly, you can earn 2x Insiders points on select LEGO One Piece sets including:

• Windmill Village Hut (75636)
• Buggy the Clown’s Circus Tent (75637)
• The Going Merry Pirate Ship (75639)
• The Baratie Floating Restaurant (75640)
