Following the reveal of this year’s 2023 LEGO Employee Gift 4002023 Gingerbread House, we thought it would be fun to take a look back at some of the best LEGO seasonal employee exclusive sets from previous years.
The tradition began in 2008, with the simple LEGO Heart given to the hard-working elves at LEGO stores and offices worldwide. Despite the relative minimalism of the set, it’s now valued at over £1,000 on BrickEconomy. Since then, we’ve seen everything from Xmas-styled Star Wars ships to houses released.
Fetch a cup of cocoa and put your Christmas wrapping aside for a moment as we pick out a few of our favourite sets from the last 15 years of this fun holiday tradition…
4002019 LEGO Christmas X-Wing
Estimated value (BrickEconomy) – £740
Release year – 2019
This has to be our favourite LEGO holiday staff exclusive. The red-decked X-Wing offers a truly festive edition of the iconic Star Wars Original Trilogy starship, complete with North Pole laser turrets and hints of Christmas gold. Extras such as Yoda’s Christmas home and the sleigh are the icing on the Xmas cake, increasing the display potential of the model beyond more simple exclusive sets. The unique grotto cave also doubles as a base and display stand for the ship.
The model comes with a Master Yoda and a Yuletide Squadron Pilot (both in festive clothing) alongside R2-D2. Two of the LEGO Minifigures are exclusive to the set, making them highly collectable characters to own.
LEGO Happy Holidays The Christmas Game
Estimated value (BrickEconomy) – £133
Release year – 2010
Christmas Day games are a yuletide tradition that goes back even further than the Victorians, fostering lasting memories and enhancing the festive spirit among family and friends. This 2020 LEGO gift offered staff a short game with cute micro characters and pieces.
The aim of the animal dice game is to collect as large a pile of presents as possible while ensuring you only hold two different present colours when the game ends.
LEGO Duck
Estimated value (BrickEconomy) – £235
Release year – 2011
The original LEGO Duck was a wooden toy released in 1935 and was one of the first models ever produced by the brand. This iconic toy collectible was given to employees in brick-built form in 2011 as the perfect way to commemorate one of the models that started the LEGO brand’s success story.
4000013 A LEGO Christmas Tale
Estimated value (BrickEconomy) – £95
Release year – 2013
This 435-piece set contains four small models for collectors to build, comprising a Santa’s Workshop with two elves, a sleigh with reindeer, a snowman in the woods, and a Christmas fireplace scene. These cute scenes are ideal for displaying at home, with the added draw that they are exclusive and rarer than other publicly released sets.
4002018 40 Years LEGO Minifigure Employee Exclusive
Estimated value (BrickEconomy) – £133
Release year – 2018
This Christmas holiday gift was designed in collaboration with Roberta Sandri and concept designer Sten Platz in celebration of the LEGO Minifigure’s 40th anniversary. The pack comes with St. Nick, a reindeer, a sledge, and concealed gifts to discover.
