LEGO The Lord of the Rings Grond (40893) GWP Review

LEGO The Lord of the Rings Grond (40893)

The main LEGO promotion for early June is The Lord of the Rings Grond (40893). You can only get it from June 1-7 with a purchase of Minas Tirith (11377) and I think it’s the perfect gift with purchase set to go with it.

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.

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
