How to Get Free LEGOs in 2025

There’s nothing like opening a fresh box of LEGO bricks, pouring out the colors, and hearing that satisfying clink. Even better when it’s free. This guide shows you how to turn everyday habits into rewards, stack smart promos, and tap your community so you can bring home more bricks without paying full price. Fetch is one great way to do it, but it’s not the only way. We’ll walk you through all the best hacks to get free LEGOs and answer several questions avid LEGO fans ask most.

Your shortest path to free LEGOs

Free LEGOs can come from a few places: your receipts, store promos, community swaps, even your job. Here’s the big picture so you can pick a lane and start earning fast.

• Turn receipts into gift cards with Fetch, then use those gift cards on LEGO sets.
• Watch for LEGO Store gift with purchase promos and time your buys.
• Trade extra parts with local LEGO User Groups and online communities.
• Hunt thrift stores, yard sales, estate sales, Facebook Marketplace.
• Win contests from LEGO fan sites, conventions, toy retailers.
• Say yes to make and take events at LEGO Stores and libraries.
• Work in the brick world—some roles include kits, parts, discounts.

Turn everyday receipts into LEGOs with Fetch

Fetch turns the receipts you already have into Fetch Points. Redeem those points for free gift cards to retailers that sell LEGOs, then build your next set on rewards. No hoops, just habits.

• Snap every receipt. Grocery, pharmacy, convenience, big box, pet, dollar stores, restaurants.
• Connect eReceipts for eligible online orders so points flow in automatically.
• Open Discover to find offers you can earn on top of your base points.
• Redeem Fetch Points for gift cards to places that stock LEGO like Amazon, Target, Walmart, Best Buy, GameStop.
• Use those gift cards on LEGO sets, then snap those receipts, too.

Pro tip: Consistency wins. Snap small receipts, big receipts, and everything in between. Points stack quietly, then suddenly you’re building. 

How to get a free LEGO piece

Single pieces are easier to grab than full sets. Look for events, swaps, and legit replacement options. Small wins add up.

• Ask for spares at events. LEGO Store make and takes and library STEM days often have leftover parts.
• Join a LEGO User Group. Many LUGs run swap tables where a handful of bricks is a friendly trade.
• Check community boards. Buy Nothing groups love rehoming stray bricks.
• Trade your duplicates. Minifig heads, tiles, common slopes are perfect swap currency.
• Lost or missing piece? If a new set is incomplete, LEGO Customer Service can replace genuine missing parts.
• Care kits. Some toy stores keep a small “lost piece” bowl for kids—ask nicely.

Stay ethical. Replacement programs are for missing or broken parts from new sets you own, not for stockpiling extras. 

Time your LEGO hauls around gift with purchase promos

Gift with purchase promos (GWPs) are how many fans score “free” sets. You get a bonus build when you spend a minimum, and some are collectible on their own. Here’s how to do it right.

• Track promo calendars and rumored thresholds on LEGO fan sites.
• Hold your cart until a GWP you want goes live, then check out.
• Split orders if there are multiple GWPs with different thresholds.
• Use gift cards you redeemed with Fetch Points to lower your cost.
• Resell or gift the GWP if you don’t want it, turning it into more budget for bricks.

Thrift, trade, repeat

Secondhand LEGO is where free and almost-free magic happens. You’ll need patience, but the wins are real.

• Thrift stores and charity shops. Ask staff when toys get restocked.
• Garage and yard sales. Bring small bags so you can sort and make bundle offers.
• Facebook Marketplace and local apps. Set alerts for “LEGO” and “bricks”.
• Estate sales. Mixed bricks by the pound are common.
• Sort lots fast. Keep minifigs, printed tiles, and unique parts aside for trades.
• Trade duplicates for the parts you need to finish sets.

Safety check: Verify parts are authentic, clean with mild soap, avoid high heat that warps bricks.

Advanced brick-by-brick strategies to get free LEGOs

Once you’ve got the basics, these power moves help you collect more for less.

• Pick a Brick and Build a Minifigure. Stretch value by filling cups and trays with useful parts.
• Part out sets you don’t love. Keep the minifigs, trade the rest for the pieces you need.
• Use BrickLink wanted lists. Target only the parts to finish a display instead of buying a full set.
• Attend conventions. Many offer swag bricks, polybags, and contest prizes.
• Join monthly challenges. Fan communities award parts or small sets for winners.

How much money is 1,000,000 LEGO points worth?

LEGO Insiders points convert to rewards vouchers. The value per point is fixed by LEGO and can change, but there’s a simple way to estimate.

• As of writing in the US, 650 points typically convert to a $5 voucher.
• That means each point is worth about $0.0077.
• 1,000,000 points would be worth about $7,692 in vouchers.
• Always check the current LEGO Insiders redemption chart before you plan a big spend.

Stack Fetch with your LEGO game plan

Here’s a simple loop that keeps your LEGO budget feeling lighter month after month:

• Snap every receipt in Fetch to earn points.
• Check Discover for offers to help you earn more quickly.
• Redeem points for gift cards to your preferred LEGO retailers.
• Time your LEGO purchases to GWP windows.
• Snap those LEGO purchase receipts, too.
• Repeat the loop and watch the builds get bigger.

LEGO FAQs

Can I actually get a full LEGO set for free?

Which gift cards should I choose in Fetch for LEGO?

Can I use Fetch Points at the LEGO Store?
