Celebrate the iconic LEGO brick with the special edition set, 60 Years of the LEGO Brick (40290). This promotional set was released to mark the 60th anniversary of the LEGO brick’s patent, commemorating the timeless creativity and play that LEGO has brought to generations of builders.
The set features a buildable microscale LEGO factory model, representing the place where the beloved bricks are made. The factory is accompanied by four microscale classic LEGO sets, each representing a different era in LEGO’s history. These sets include a microscale train, a pirate ship, a castle, and a space shuttle.
The 60 Years of the LEGO Brick set is presented in a special commemorative box and includes a booklet that shares the history of the LEGO Group and the evolution of the LEGO brick over the decades.
As a promotional set, 40290 was likely available for a limited time and may have been a gift with purchase during specific LEGO anniversary events or promotional campaigns.
