The Brick Fan Top 5 LEGO GWPs of 2025

December 28, 2025 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

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

The Brick Fan Top 5 LEGO Sets of 2025

December 27, 2025 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

2025 was a pretty big year for LEGO as there were 800 different products released. I haven’t done it in a few years but these are my top 5 sets for 2025 and my reasoning for it. The original list was about 10 sets and it was extremely hard to get it down to only 5. Some of the factors that went into my personal rankings are fandom, nostalgia, and pricing. Note that none of these sets were given by LEGO for review. I’ll also probably do a top 5 gift with purchase set list as well so stay tuned for that.

5. LEGO Marvel Spider-Man vs. Doc Ock Subway Train Scene (76321) – $54.99

It’s been 21 years since we’ve gotten a Spider-Man 2 set and the LEGO Marvel Spider-Man vs. Doc Ock Subway Train Scene (76321) was a no-brainer for me. Although it’s small, it captures one of the more iconic scenes from the movie.

4. LEGO Disney Wall-E & EVE (43279) – $69.99

Another nostalgic set has been remade this year with Wall-E & EVE (43279). It’s been a whole decade between the original LEGO Ideas set and this new one is perfect for fans that didn’t get the old one or for those new to LEGO. For $20 more, there are 134 more pieces and you also get EVE and M-O.

3. TIE: The Going Merry Pirate Ship (75639) & The Baratie Floating Restaurant (75640) – $139.99/$329.99

Never would I thought that the worlds of LEGO and One Piece would collide … Continue

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.

Macy’s is ending the year on a high note as they have some one day only sales with sets discounted up to 40% off.

LEGO Retiring Soon List – Updated December 2025

December 10, 2025 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The LEGO Retiring Soon has once again been updated for December and there are now less than 90 items on the list. Most of the original list has been sold out but you may be able to find them at other retailers. As of this post, LEGO has the double Insiders points event going on until December 14 so now is a great time to pick up some last minute items before they go away at the end of the year.

LEGO Creator Gingerbread Train Ornament (40777) GWP Now Available & Double Insiders Points

December 9, 2025 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

LEGO has just dropped a new set of promotions on the LEGO Shop which I believe will be the last ones for the year. From now until December 14, you can earn double Insiders point all purchases including pre-orders for any of the 2026 sets or any backordered items like the LEGO Icons Star Trek: U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D (10356).

In addition, the LEGO Creator Celebration Series: Gingerbread Train Ornament (40777) is available with general purchases of $75 or more from now until December 16, while supplies last. It does double up with the 2x Insiders points promo so you can get more bang for your buck.
