The LEGO Inside Tour 2024 is The Ultimate LEGO Fan Experience

What is the LEGO Inside Tour?

Every year, a select group of LEGO fans is invited to Billund, Denmark, for an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of the LEGO Group’s headquarters. The LEGO Inside Tour is more than just a visit; it’s an immersive experience that includes three days filled with LEGO history, culture, and unparalleled access to the brand’s inner workings.

Attending the LEGO Inside Tour isn’t just about passion; it comes with a significant price tag. In 2024, the tour cost 22,000 DKK (approximately £2,556). This fee includes three nights at the LEGOLAND Hotel, all meals, drinks, snacks, and most importantly, an exclusive LEGO set that is only available to tour attendees.

For many, the steep cost is justified by the unique experiences and memories gained. The chance to walk through the LEGO Vault, witness the creation process of LEGO sets, and receive an exclusive collectible set makes this tour a dream come true for any LEGO fan both young and old.

Unveiling the LEGO Inside Tour 2024 The Vault Memory Lane (4000042) Set

The highlight of the LEGO Inside Tour is undoubtedly the exclusive set given to attendees. This year’s set, the LEGO Inside Tour 2024 The Vault Memory Lane (4000042), is a meticulously crafted homage to LEGO’s rich history. The set is a brick-built model of the LEGO Vault, a space that holds a copy of every LEGO set ever produced.

The design of The Vault Memory Lane was a collaborative effort between Design Master Henrik Andersen and LEGO House Master Model Builder Stuart Harris. Together, they created a model that not only captures the essence of the actual LEGO Vault but also includes a wealth of intricate details that pay tribute to some of LEGO’s most iconic sets.

Here’s What to Expect from the LEGO Inside Tour 2024 Vault Memory Lane Set.

Iconic LEGO Sets on Display

One of the most exciting features of the LEGO Inside Tour 2024 The Vault Memory Lane set is its inclusion of miniature LEGO sets displayed on shelves within the vault. Although these mini-sets are represented by stickers, they still carry a lot of weight for LEGO fans.

A Nod to LEGO’s Early Days

Another unique element within the LEGO Inside Tour 2024 The Vault Memory Lane set is a tiny 3D-printed green duck. This may seem like a small addition, but it carries significant historical importance. The green wooden duck was one of the LEGO Group’s earliest products, and in this set, it’s featured in a dark green color, marking its first-ever appearance in this hue.

How to Secure Your Spot for LEGO Inside Tour 2025

If the 2024 tour has you excited for next year’s event, you’ll need to be vigilant. Registration for the LEGO Inside Tour typically opens in the autumn. For the 2024 tour, registration began on October 19, and it’s expected that the same timeline will apply for 2025. Spots are limited and fill up fast, so keep a close eye on official announcements if you’re hoping to be part of this exclusive experience.

A huge thanks once again to fellow LEGO AFOL alexandthebricks for sharing these images of these much-prized sets.

2019 LEGO Inside Tour LEGO System House (4000034) Exclusive Set Revealed

The first and second rounds of this year’s LEGO Inside Tour have already been concluded, and LEGO does not seem to shy away from revealing this program’s exclusive set. If you recall, the LEGO Inside Tour is a 3-day, one-of-a-kind LEGO fan experience where participants get to know the inner workings of the LEGO company, featuring an extraordinary exhibition of vintage LEGO sets as early as from 1934. Needless to say, it is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for any serious LEGO fan. To top it off, every participant receives a LEGO Inside Tour exclusive set – and for this year, it is the LEGO System House (4000034) as revealed by LEGO itself.

I have to say that I find it a bit unusual for LEGO to make such a reveal via its LEGO Customer Services where the building instructions for the LEGO System House (4000034) has been uploaded. Furthermore, LEGO is quite adamant in reminding LEGO Inside Tour participants not to ‘spoil’ the experience to other registered participants by revealing the exclusive sets that they received. So seeing that the building instructions for this 2019 LEGO Inside Tour exclusive have been uploaded is quite odd.

Moving forward, the LEGO Inside Tour has produced some of its best designed exclusive sets. In 2016, we’ve seen the impressive LEGO Truck Show (4000022), followed by the beautiful LEGO House Tree of Creativity (4000024) in 2017. Last year saw the monochromatic LEGO Inside Tour LEGO Ferguson Tractor (4000025) set, and now we have another piece of LEGO history with the LEGO System House (4000034).

The LEGO System House (4000034) is inspired by the inauguration of the System House in 1958. It is the brainchild of Godtfred Kirk Christiansen, where he envisioned an administrative building that will serve as a sort of command center for its international activities, a showroom for exhibiting its new sets and products, and as a place of inspiration to spur creativity. You may read more about the early history of the LEGO System House in this article from the LEGO Group.

The LEGO System House (4000034) exclusive set comes in at 947 pieces, with only a total of 80 sets made for this year’s LEGO Inside Tour. It also comes with 10 minifigures representing the sales directors coming from various European countries where LEGO operates, as represented by their respective flags.

So what do you think about this year’s LEGO Inside Tour LEGO System House (4000034) set? Do you think its a good call to have it as this year’s LEGO Inside Tour exclusive? Share us what you think in the comments below.

Here’s a gist of what to expect from the LEGO Inside Tour 2019, followed by its promotional video.

What is LEGO Inside Tour?

LEGO Inside Tour provides a unique look into the LEGO Group often referred to as ‘a once–in-a-lifetime experience’. You are invited inside Ole Kirk Kristiansen’s original house, featuring an extraordinary exhibition of LEGO sets and models that date back to 1934. You will meet LEGO employees and especially LEGO designers, who will introduce you to their daily work at the LEGO Group, and you will take part in a unique building experience together with LEGO designers. Part of the LEGO Inside Tour consists of a factory tour, where you can see how LEGO bricks are produced. LEGO Inside Tour also stops at the LEGO staff shop.

At the end of the tour, you will receive a unique gift exclusively produced in close cooperation with Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen especially for this year’s LEGO Inside Tour participants.

The LEGO Group’s headquarters are based in Billund, Denmark, and here the LEGO Inside Tour will take place. Starting point of the 2-day tour is Hotel LEGOLAND®: www.hotellegoland.dk.

With a price tag of DKK 14,500 per person (roughly equivalent to $2,200), the LEGO Inside Tour may perhaps be the single, most expensive LEGO activity that you may engage in. However, it is a once in a lifetime experience that any bonafide LEGO fan surely dreams of joining.
