40305 LEGO Brand Store revealed
Posted by CapnRex101,
The upcoming 40305 LEGO Brand Store has been listed on eBay by a seller in Germany.
Promobricks reports that this set will soon be available as a promotional item at shop.LEGO.com and in LEGO stores but that has yet to be confirmed. We will let you know as soon as more information becomes available.
You can view the back of the box after the break...
Do you think this rendition of a LEGO brand store improves upon others? Let us know in the comments.

I assume that is an ATM on the side...because you're gonna need it haha
This one definitely has more of the Modular feel & styling about it.
A nice little promo that'll fit right in!
Nice promo. Will go well beside previous creator 3 in 1 shops. Guess this will be a give away with a spend of at least £99
I wonder how the interior will compare to last year's 40178: VIP Exclusive Set? I can see a Pick-a-Brick wall through the windows, but I also wonder if there is a separate second floor or if it just has a high ceiling.
It is great news!! It can be displayed in any City scene, ideal complement to MOC!!
It is better than the LEGO minifigure Factory (and proportionally, also better than the new big set 60200 Capital).
Do you think Lego browse Ebay investigating how on earth something no one knows about is now for sale? Its like a few Ebayers having 30 of something you only get free with a £50 spend at a lego store etc.....? OR a actual sealed Box of 60 promotional models.....
WOW! I'm aching to buy some sets, does anyone know when this set will be offered?
That is a pretty large promotional set! I cant wait to see the high price Lego will make someone spend to get this. Love how they are using 2x2 bricks as Lego set boxes instated of 1x2 tiles on 1x2 plates. Will hope to get this for sure.
This looks too good for a giveaway. The last store/ VIP set had a spend threshold of £125. This is a nicer set than that, but surely the threshold couldn't go any further. I've just dropped £169.99 to get a crumby BB8.
Not totally wild about the design of the exterior, but tons of great elements that will help populate my modular-scale store! Excited to see when this will be available!
Let's see last year if you spent $200USD you got a free bag. So maybe you get this set for free with $500 purchase?
What's the point of this set if it doesn't come with a Lego Store employee minifig? Is this a new "self check out" store?
I would rather this be a regular retail set (such as a 30.00 US Creator set) than a FWP set, as it seems so large that the buy-in will probably be prohibitive. I would love to add this to my work in progress LEGO store MOC, which includes the previous versions of LEGO stores and VIP sets.
This is a nice looking set however the one in manchester arndale is virtually a glass front and the descovery centre front at Trafford Centre is masonry and alloy as i worked on it as a labourer for styles & wood, so not all lego stores look the same so im just wondering which store this is this inspired by?
Looks nice enough, but there's so many good sets this year! Hope I manage to snag it.
Looks like a set to be bought, not a promo or giveaway. It's cool, but I wish it had included stairs.
OMG I want this so bad!
Once this promotion goes up, it’ll be time for me to finally get 10243 Parisian Restaurant!
Once this finally goes up, it will be time to get a few Jurassic World FK sets.
Once this promo goes up, it'll be time for me to finally get some more TLBM sets.
Nice, interior looks like largely based on the last City Center set, with the PAB wall and boxes - but with the facade update more closely matches current CPH site ?
Woah... This is just a promo? Looks quite large for one...
Would be nice if this came out next Wednesday with the Coaster set
I can already see the modular versions coming by the MOCcers.
Filling my online shopping cart with baited breath...
Oooh! I want!!
Perfect! More value for money with the OVERPRICED JWFK sets!
Any idea on minimum purchase? The Creator Pirate coaster is on my wanted list...and I'm going to Leicester Square soon...
I cannot judge if it's an improvement or not, but all I can say is that I like it. Some people complain about stickers used for simulating sets boxes and for the entrance sign too, but on a promotional set no specific printed part is no issue for me. As a "free" gift it looks good, quite big, many interesting parts. No Lego employee is a mystery, but as said in other comments, it' quite a huge build and it could be a real set in its own. Now I'm curious to see what conditions will be required to get it...
I will hopefully be able to review it over at my channel! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp97xnE2yVxlFvrimMxUzEg?view_as=subscriber
Hey, that's actually pretty decent!
Nice design, but it is a shame it is only the front half of the store...
Especially if this is only available at store openings.
Unless TLG plan to open at least 4 more stores in the UK?
At least 2 required to make an actual building. Come on TLG you can do better than this.
Any chance this portends a modular version?!
It magnificent - but it seems it has new style for prints/stickers for boxes. Shame. They will make older look bad :/
I liked 40145: LEGO Brand Retail Store as it is a complete building with all sides and a roof. However it is small. This one looks good as a start for a larger MOC of the building, I like the color scheme and overall look of it.
Nice. I imagine it will ‘cost’ 125€
They did NOT seriously put an ATM in their own brand store model? Now this is not very subtle.
If it really is a promotional set i bet it wont be cheap. Probably going to be free with at least a $199 purchase. I mean last year they offered a lego bag for purchases of $199 and up. I would rather see lego come out with a true modular building than offer this set. But well see what it takes to get it...
I just realized that this would work well with the minifigure factory. The factory worker could be the checkout guy, the nanofigures could be minifigures that are on display or the kid could be buying them, and finally, the cart for shipping out the nanofigures could be a shopping cart. Now I want to get this and find the minifigure factory on Bricklink.
Looks Great! I’ll definitely try and get it! But the two stories kinda through me off, at least in my area, lego stores are one story
It might not be a super high threshold to get, but I would assume it will only appear at grand openings.
According to the source it will be available as a LEGO Store and Shop @Home promotion, not as a LEGO store opening gift.
"Bei dem LEGO Retail Store (40305) handelt es sich um ein Store-Promotion Set, welches es beim Einkauf in den Brand Stores und im LEGO Online-Shop zum Beispiel ab einem bestimmten Mindestbetrag gratis dazu gibt. Es handelt sich hierbei nicht um einen weiteren Retail Store, der exklusiv bei einer LEGO Store Neueröffnung verteilt wird."
Interesting.....
My city needs another Lego store. I only have the one in the train station
Is that an ATM though? Or is it an information terminal? Or even a vending machine - the original brand store in Bluewater had a vending machine on teh wall outside, stocked with about 3 different small sets.
What's with the bird and the hot air balloon on the box art?
Ouch, my wallet screams with pain.
Well with no store employees in the set, looks like father and son can make it out like bandits :P
Ok. I need a raise now.
Guessing this is at least a 125 USD purchase to get one of these. Likely more, given some of the other promos that have been around that marker recently. I hope when it is a promo it is also around a double points event. I have a few large expenditures to make for LEGO, but also would like to see double points for them as well
No employee, but then again I have like 10 of them from the employee poly promos when they were around.
Found it yesterday in an italian LEGO Certified Store, dunno if was a mistake by them or is an officiale release, i did it a video review and unboxing on my channel, but can't list it in the video reviews tab. The set has 360 pieces and i paid it 24,99€, so if someone knows how to insert this info, cause i can't find it how to do it.
You can find it there https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ov0RBTx1pw
And apologize for my poor english :D
After some info asket do the employers these are the info about this set: Officially released the 18th of may 2018 as exclusive for Lego Certified Store for the italian market where at now is regulary sold. Price 24.99€ . Pieces 360.
I second what Dxtt Veeleeno wrote above: I got a copy for €24,99 at the certified store in Milan two days ago!
£21.99 from June 1st.
Got 2 of this set from my local manchester store, £21.99 each.
