The Brick Fan Top 5 LEGO GWPs of 2025

Yesterday we did our list for our Top 5 LEGO sets of 2025 and now we’re doing our list of best gift with purchase sets. It didn’t seem like it but LEGO released 77 GWPs this year ranging from polybags to small-to-medium sized sets, although a small number of them were for new LEGO Brand Store openings. Some of the more “premium” GWPs were locked into certain sets that you had to buy when they initially released which has gotten some backlash in recent times. This factor did go into my rankings as well as the price requirements to get them.


5. Tribute to Jane Austen’s Books (40766) – June 2025/$150 purchase

I really love the GWPs that LEGO releases that pay tribute to various people with historical significance. The Jane Austen tribute set does a decent job showing her living room in the style of a book and a minifigure of the author. I’m not sure how LEGO came to choose the person to make a set for but it’s a nice addition. The $150 price requirement is in the middle of the road of the 361 piece set.


4. Mini Knight’s Castle (40775) – November 2025/$250 purchase

The Mini Knight’s Castle has 590 pieces and was only available for a very short time as it was a LEGO Insiders Weekend and Black Friday day exclusive. The set features a mini recreation of the Knight’s Castle (6073) from 1984 and the Black Knight’s Castle (6086) from 1992. The $250 price requirement is in line with … Continue

LEGO Majisto’s Magical Workshop (40601) Official Images on LEGO Shop

LEGO has put up the product page for the upcoming LEGO Majisto’s Magical Workshop (40601) gift with purchase set on the LEGO Shop. The set has 365 pieces and is a re-imagining of the 6048 from 1993. The set is able to open outwards to get to the interior of the workshop and includes minifigures of Majisto the wizard and a knight.

The set is reported to be part of the LEGO Insiders Early Black Friday weekends sales (November 18-19) as well as the main Black Friday shopping event (November 24-27). There’s no information yet on the price requirements to get to it yet but I’m going to assume it’ll be about $250 and I’ll be surprised if it’s actually lower than that.

Share your nostalgic love for an iconic LEGO® set with Majisto’s Magical Workshop (40601). 30 years on from the 6048 LEGO Majisto’s Magical Workshop set, this modern version captures many of the features of the original, opens out for easy viewing of the interior details and includes 2 minifigures – Majisto with a wand element and a knight. A fantastic gift for LEGO fans aged 12 and up, this construction model is perfect for building together as a family.

LEGO Forest Hideout (40567) Review

LEGO Forest Hideout (40567)

LEGO celebrates their 90th anniversary this year and one of the promotions for this year is the Forest Hideout (40567). The set has 258 pieces and you can get it for free with purchases of $150 or more while supplies last. The set is a reimagining of the Forestmen’s Hideout (6054) from 1988.

LEGO Forest Hideout (40567)

There are two minifigures in the set, a male and female from the Forestmen faction. Both have the same torso and legs with the male having a bow and arrow and the female having the sword.

The first part of the build includes a target practice for the bow and arrow Forestman.

The hideout itself looks extremely similar to its predecessor with the hollow tree that opens up to reveal a ladder that goes up to a barrel.
