Late-August 2026 LEGO GWPs: Grond, Steering Wheel, and Botanical Garden Returns

Your August LEGO haul just got a little more interesting, and your wallet might be preparing for impact. LEGO is rolling out a fresh wave of Gift With Purchase (GWP) promotions starting late August 2026, bringing back some popular items and introducing bundle deals. It’s the perfect time to snag those sets you’ve been eyeing, especially with the Back to Hogwarts campaign looming.

For our Australian and New Zealand readers, the sought-after 40893 Grond GWP is making a comeback. This time, it’s free with the purchase of the 11377 Minas Tirith set. Over in the UK and Europe, fans can get their hands on the 5009005 Entrance Gate GWP, a companion piece to the soon-to-retire 21353 The Botanical Garden. North America isn't left out either, with the 40894 Koenigsegg Sadair’s Spear Steering Wheel GWP returning, bundled with the 42232 Koenigsegg Sadair’s Spear Megacar.

Beyond these specific set promotions, there are also general spend-based GWPs. Globally, you can get a 30730 Trainer Supplies polybag when you spend US$40 (or local equivalent) on a range of themes including One Piece, City, and NINJAGO. Another global offer sees the 30733 Badnik: Skorp polybag free with a US$40 spend on themes like Sonic the Hedgehog, Super Mario, and Minecraft.

Australian fans get an extra perk: spending AU$325 or more on LEGO.com can net you the 40913 Icons Vintage Parade Car GWP, but you’ll need to use exclusive promo codes, which are quite limited. These codes stack with other offers, meaning you could potentially grab both Grond and the Vintage Parade Car if you’re strategic.

LEGO is also running bundle deals from August 21-29, offering 25% off the second set when you buy a qualifying pair. This includes discounts on sets like the Iron Man MK4 Bust and Iron Spider-Man Bust, Jango Fett Helmet and AT-AT Driver Helmet, and even some floral and WALL-E sets. These discounts are modest, but could be worthwhile if you were planning on picking up both items in a bundle anyway.

No official India pricing or availability has been confirmed for these GWPs yet. Based on typical import costs for similar promotional items, expect the 40894 Koenigsegg Sadair’s Spear Steering Wheel GWP, if available, to be around ₹5,500 estimated import price — that’s enough for three months of a family Netflix subscription. Keep an eye on MyBrickHouse and Toycra for potential availability, though these are often limited to specific regions. Use code ABHINAV12 for 12% off on orders above ₹500 at Toycra.

These promotions run until August 28th in most regions, with the UK/EU Botanical Garden offer lasting until October 1st. It's a good opportunity to top up your collection before the big LEGO Harry Potter event kicks off on August 29th.

On that bombshell, it's time to say goodbye. I'll see you on the next one. Bubyee.

Verdict: WAIT — check prices at MyBrickHouse and Toycra before pulling the trigger.
