Exclusive items at the LEGO House
Posted by CapnRex101,
The LEGO House in Billund will be officially opened on the 29th of September but a group of AFOLs, including several Brickset members, were invited to visit as the museum nears completion. 21037 LEGO House was not available but several other exclusive items were and iso3200 has kindly provided photos for the database as well as some information about each one.
624210 LEGO House 6 Bricks is perhaps the most interesting. The polybag simply contains six 2x4 bricks which can be combined in 915,103,776 different ways. You are given a unique card showing one possible combination as you leave the LEGO House so everybody can take home something unique to them. It is estimated that they will have given out every combination after about 3000 years so you have plenty of time to plan your visit!
40295 LEGO House Chef includes an exclusive torso design which features the LEGO House branding on the back. This is given away in the restaurant.
There are two exclusive pick-a-model packs available in the LEGO store at the LEGO House, 3850060 Fish Tank and 3850061 Fish Tank. These relate to one of the exhibits which allows you to digitally design your own fish and watch it appear in a short animation!
We are hoping to publish a full report from the event within the next couple of weeks. Are you intending to visit the LEGO House in the near future and what are you hoping to see? Let us know in the comments.

As interesting as 6 plain bricks are I would go with the chef if I could only have one.
There is also a version with six DUPLO bricks (40297), and a polybag for ordering the meal (40296).
The polybag with the minifig will only be given out to children in the future. I sent pix to Huw today.
Interesting. For some reason I think the 2X4s will go for a lot of money online... I don't know why.
I hope the red bricks come with a link to a pdf showing all 915,103,765 combinations ;)
^ And each one comes with a free rainforest so that you can make enough paper to print it.
There was also a polybag given at the minichef restaurant 40296 Build yor meal. I have send the pictures as a answer on the brickset tweet.
The six bricks with the unique card.... what a very clever and simple idea. That's why we love Lego!
I still can't believe I somehow missed the fishtanks...
Its weird we havent got that cool brick with face instead
I wonder what's the calculation for the number of 915,103,776 combinations!
And if the bricks were all different colors then we could have broken Lego's computer!
@TWP: Here's the calculation:

Interestingly, it looks like the chef mini-figure head is random as I had a female chef!
That 6 red bricks polybag is kinda awesome. Absolutely no idea why I think so.
If you haven't seen the LEGO Brickumentary it explains the significance of the six brick 2x4 polybag.
@SMC Everyone visiting the house (the inside, not the building) gets either the LEGO or Duplo version of the 6 bricks (you get to pick which version yourself).
The chef is given in the Mini Chef restaurant, but as far as I understood, it's only for kids visiting... Even though everyone got one this time.
Either way no need to choose between them. That said, there are no exclusive bricks in either set! :-)
I would like to visit but I don't know if it would be weird to go there just with my girlfriend..
IMO the 2x4 red bricks is pretty boring as a freebie. Also the chef is very similar to the Lego movie trash chomper set save for the back printing. Also I like the 2 aquarium builds.
@dRevan Those red bricks might look a bit boring, but get a lot more exciting when you take into account that they are created and packed by the moulding machine right there at The Lego House ;)
