Hot LEGO Sets and Exciting Freebies You Don’t Want to Miss.
LEGO has captured the imaginations of builders of all ages, from preschoolers to grandparents. Every month we eagerly anticipate new releases, and July 2025 brings not just exciting sets, but also two brand-new Gifts With Purchase (GWPs) that make shopping right now especially rewarding.
Currently, when you spend £75 or more (excluding pre-orders), you’ll receive the Celebration: Ferris Wheel with Fireworks (40758) - a vibrant Creator set featuring a rotating Ferris wheel with six gondolas and fireworks made from transparent bricks. It’s a delightful collectible perfect for both kids and adults. This GWP is available until 6th July 2025, while stocks last.
If you’re planning a bigger buy, purchases of £145 or more will also earn you the Friendly Snails (40788) set—a beautifully detailed, nature-inspired display model that includes two snails, a bee, and a garden scene, ideal for AFOL (Adult Fans of LEGO). This offer runs until 7th July 2025, or while supplies last.
The great news? Many of the Top 10 LEGO sets in this guide qualify for these GWPs. For example, picking up standout sets like the Daily Bugle (76178) or Hogwarts Icons – Collector’s Edition (76391) will easily put you over the £145 threshold, earning you both free gifts in one go. Even mid-range sets like The Ender Dragon and End Ship (21264) or King Boo’s Haunted Mansion (71436) can be combined to hit the minimum spend for the Ferris Wheel GWP.
So not only are you investing in high-potential LEGO sets - you’re also getting exclusive bonus builds for free. Below, you’ll find our curated list of the best LEGO sets to buy now for long-term value, display brilliance, and yes… some very strategic GWP stacking.
