LEGO GWP 2026: Four New Gifts With Purchase Available Now – Pokémon, Japan Restaurant, F1 & More!
We absolutely love a great LEGO Gift With Purchase here at Investabrick. There’s something special about unlocking an exclusive build just for hitting a spending threshold – especially when the freebie feels meaningful, collectible and genuinely desirable.
LEGO consistently delivers standout sets throughout the year, catering to every type of builder – from nostalgic gamers and motorsport fans to food lovers, younger builders and seasoned collectors. And the current wave of LEGO GWPs might be one of the strongest we’ve seen so far in 2026.
Right now, four brand-new gifts-with-purchase are available at LEGO.com – and based on early demand, we wouldn’t hang around.
Headline GWP: LEGO Pokémon Kanto Region Badge Collection (40892)
The star of the show is without doubt the Kanto Region Badge Collection (40892).
Available exclusively with the purchase of Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise (72153), this 312-piece display model celebrates the iconic Kanto Gym badges – Boulder, Cascade, Thunder, Rainbow, Soul, Marsh, Volcano and Earth.
Originally selling out during pre-orders, this GWP is already proving just how powerful the LEGO® Pokémon™ theme is. Designed for adult fans (18+), the build features a sleek display case secured with a Poké Ball-inspired clasp, making it a nostalgic centrepiece for any Pokémon fan.
For collectors, this ticks every box:
- Theme-first exclusive
- Display-focused adult appeal
- Strong nostalgia factor
- Previously sold-out status
If history tells us anything, this is likely to be the first of the four GWPs to disappear again.
Restaurants of the World: Japan (40906) – Free Over £160
Available with orders over £160 / $180 / €180 until 8 March (while stocks last) For LEGO members, Restaurants of the World: Japan (40906) could quietly become one of 2026’s sleeper hits.
This 289-piece collectible build marks the likely beginning of a new “Restaurants of the World” sub-series, following the success of previous global-themed GWP lines. The model features traditional Japanese architectural detailing, chopsticks, fish and menu accessories, and is topped with a brick-built nigiri sushi piece.
A chef minifigure in traditional attire brings the scene to life, while the compact footprint makes it perfect for display in a kitchen, office or LEGO city setup.
Given LEGO’s track record with collectible regional series, we suspect this could become highly desirable once retired.
Mini F1 ACADEMY™ Car (30734) – Motorsport Fans Rejoice
Buying Formula 1-themed sets? You’ll also receive Mini F1® ACADEMY Car (30734) while stocks last.
This 58-piece polybag build is available with selected Formula 1 sets across City, Technic and Speed Champions – meaning you can qualify with relatively small purchases, including entry-level F1 builds.
For younger builders (7+) and motorsport collectors alike, this is an easy win and a nice low-threshold bonus to add to the garage.
Orange Cat (30714) – Cute & Clever 3-in-1 Freebie
Finally, spend £35 / $40 / €40 on LEGO Harry Potter, Creator 3in1, Animal Crossing or Friends sets and you’ll receive Orange Cat (30714).
This 79-piece 3-in-1 build allows kids to construct:
- An orange cat with milk bowl
- A crocodile with water puddle
- An owl with nest and eggs
A fun, flexible and family-friendly addition that lowers the entry barrier for GWP collectors.
Sets to Combine to Hit the Threshold
If you’re aiming to unlock Restaurants of the World: Japan (40906) at £160 — or stack multiple GWPs in one transaction — here are some smart buying routes that combine strong theme appeal with strategic threshold planning.
LEGO Art Claude Monet (31220) – Bridge Over a Pond of Water Lilies
This is one of those LEGO Art releases that quietly appeals to a completely different audience beyond traditional LEGO fans. Blending fine art with brick-built creativity, this 1,800+ piece set recreates Monet’s iconic masterpiece in layered, textured LEGO form. It’s sophisticated, display-driven and ideal for adults looking for a mindful build with serious aesthetic payoff.
From an investment standpoint, LEGO Art sets have shown consistent demand, particularly those tied to globally recognised artwork. It also hits the £160 threshold while delivering a premium building experience.
LEGO Technic McLaren MCL39 F1 Car (42228)
A modern Formula 1 icon in Technic form, the McLaren MCL39 F1® Car delivers detailed engineering, authentic livery and strong display presence. Motorsport fans are well served here, and importantly, this set also qualifies for the Mini F1 Academy Car polybag — meaning you could potentially secure two GWPs in one purchase.
F1 is currently enjoying a global surge in popularity, and modern licensed Technic cars often perform steadily once retired. If you’re already leaning toward motorsport, this is a strategic threshold-setter.
LEGO Ferrari F2004 Michael Schumacher (11375)
Few drivers command the kind of enduring respect that Michael Schumacher does, and the Ferrari F2004 represents one of the most dominant F1 seasons in history. This model is packed with nostalgic appeal and will resonate strongly with long-time motorsport collectors.
Licensed Ferrari sets tend to carry weight long-term, and this one taps directly into early-2000s F1 nostalgia — a demographic with increasing disposable income. It’s also another route into the Mini F1 Academy Car GWP.
LEGO Creator 3in1 Wild Animals: Panda Family (31165)
Creator 3in1 sets consistently offer excellent value for families and casual buyers. The Panda Family build brings cute appeal, rebuildability and strong gift potential — and at a lower price point, it works brilliantly as a “basket booster” to push orders over either the £35 or £160 thresholds.
Animal-themed LEGO sets historically maintain steady secondary demand, particularly sealed 3in1 models with strong display appeal.
LEGO Creator 3in1 Space Astronaut (31152)
Space remains one of LEGO’s most reliable evergreen categories. The Space Astronaut offers display presence, play value and rebuild versatility in one accessible package. It’s particularly strong for younger builders while still appealing to adult fans with retro-space nostalgia.
As a strategic add-on set, it’s an easy way to tip a basket over a qualifying line without overspending.
LEGO Brickheadz The Goblet of Fire Figures (40791)
Harry Potter continues to be one of LEGO’s most resilient licensed themes. The Goblet of Fire™ Figures set makes an excellent companion purchase for Wizarding World collectors and works perfectly as a tactical add-on to unlock the £35 Orange Cat GWP.
Licensed minifigure-driven sets often attract strong collector attention once retired, especially those tied to specific film instalments.
Final Thoughts: A Strong Start to LEGO GWP 2026
This is one of the most diverse GWP waves we’ve seen in some time. From adult-focused nostalgia and display models to affordable polybags for younger builders, LEGO has covered almost every demographic and budget level.
If the rapid sell-out of the Kanto Region Badge Collection during pre-orders is anything to go by, demand is real – and with the promotion ending March 8 (or sooner if stock runs out), hesitation could mean missing out.
At Investabrick, we always say the best GWPs are the ones you’ll regret not getting.
This might be one of those moments, head over to LEGO.com to buy now!
