It's a tradition, LEGO offers an exclusive product to all employees and partners of the group every year, and this year it's the turn of reference 4002025 Toy Store to serve as an end-of-year gift.
It is also a tradition that these sets, often highly prized by fans, are immediately put up for sale by many employees on various platforms such as eBay or Bricklink, and the first copies of this box can already be found for sale for a little over €200 on Bricklink.
The most responsive sellers on Bricklink are currently all located in the Czech Republic, a country where LEGO has a manufacturing unit in the city of Kladno.
We can therefore deduce that the factory employees received their gift and that some of them preferred a little money to a few bricks. We can't blame them; they're also allowing fans to get their hands on a copy of this attractive product, which will easily find a place in a Winter Village.
This 1769-piece set can also be found for sale on eBay for around €240, with sellers based in the Czech Republic but also in Hungary where LEGO has a factory in the city of Nyíregyháza.
We can expect prices to fall rapidly when many more copies arrive in the coming weeks to join those already on sale on the various marketplaces.
