For how much LEGO EMPLOYEE GIFTS sell ? Overview of 2009-2016 sets

May 08, 2017 2 Comments A+ a-


It's been a tradition for LEGO to reward its employees by a special set for couple of years. These sets are not available for sale for ordinary people. Only LEGO employees can get hands on them. However, it doesn't mean that there doesn't exist a secondary market for such sets. It does ! How many of employee gift sets are available for sale and for how much they sell, that's the focus of my today's post. 
Last year I was especially unhappy that I am just an ordinary AFOL and not a LEGO employee when I found out what is the 2016 employee gift set - the 50 Years on Track is definitely my favourite one out of last 8 gift sets.
If you read through our latest NEW BRICK MARKET REPORT Q12017 you probably know that the recommended average price per piece oscillates around 0.10 USD per piece.

The price per piece of LEGO employee gift sets is much higher. Heart (2009) sells for the highest price out of 2009-2016 sets - for 1.68 USD per piece. The LEGO Christmas Tale (2013) sells for the lowest price of 0.21 USD which is still twice as expensive as the price per piece of ordinary sets for public.

In terms of quantity available for sale, the supply of these sets is typically limited. For example I found only four Happy Holidays (2010) sets for sale and only eleven Heart sets (2009). You can see from the graph below that the supply of employees gift sets older than 2012 is much lower compared to younger sets (2012+).
