We’ve all started looking ahead to 2014 and all of the cool new LEGO Winter 2014 sets that we’ll be buying next month, so why shouldn’t LEGO start looking ahead as well? Even though the Holiday Pick-A-Brick box promo will be ongoing throughout this month, LEGO has already revealed their next big promotional set. Coming to LEGO Stores as the January 2014 promo: the LEGO City Police ATV 30228 polybag set!
While LEGO City is never my favorite LEGO theme, I never turn down a free set (though some sit unopened in my closet), and I definitely won’t say no to this free 30228 LEGO City Police ATV set. While the LEGO Policeman minifigure driving the ATV kind of looks like a jerk, the LEGO Police ATV itself is really cute and I can always use more LEGO handcuffs! It’s a little baffling that LEGO is giving away a set so similar to the currently available LEGO 60006 Police ATV, but the LEGO promo set is definitely different from the one available at retail.
The LEGO Police ATV 30228 polybag promo is a LEGO Store exclusive, so you (shouldn’t) be able to get this set through any other means other than making purchases of $50+ at the LEGO Store. Please note that the promotion is only valid from January 1, 2014 to January 20, 2014–it doesn’t last for the entire month, so don’t delay your LEGO purchases too long if you want the Police ATV!
While I’m not passionately in love with the Police ATV LEGO 30228 promo set or anything, I’ll be spending a lot more than $50 on LEGOs at my local LEGO Store next month, so I’ll be sure to post a full review and photos of the LEGO City 30228 Police ATV set when I get my free one(s).
What do you think of the January 2014 LEGO Store giveaway set, LEGO fans? Is this free polybag LEGO City Police ATV set good enough for you, or will you turn your nose up at a slightly-boring free set?
Is this set also for online orders in europe?
I don’t see the Police ATV promo on the LEGO Shop UK website–it may end up being given out in a different month (or by another retailer) in Europe.
