Five of the best 2024 LEGO sets to buy with double points
With LEGO Insiders Weekend in full effect, here are our recommendations for five of the best 2024 sets to pick up and score double points.
LEGO Insiders Weekend is here at last and there’s plenty of cause for celebrations. For the next two days, members will be able to get their hands on all sorts of unique GWPs, exclusive discounts and rewards, making it the ideal time to pick up any LEGO models they may have on their wish lists.
In addition, LEGO Insiders Weekend is also the chance to take advantage of double points on every purchase you make. Specific spending limits will get you twice as many points, which is equivalent to 10% cashback for discounts on future orders. For instance, spend £100 to receive £10 in points, £200 to earn £20 in points and so on.
With that in mind, here are our recommendations for five of the best LEGO sets released in 2024 you should grab this weekend that will add double points to your digital wallet.
1 – 10333 The Lord of the Rings: Barad-dûr
Theme: Icons Price: £399.99 / $459.99 / €459.99 Pieces: 5,471 Minifigures: 10 LEGO: Order now
Standing over 83cm high, 10333 The Lord of the Rings: Barad-dûr is easily one of the top 10 tallest LEGO sets of all time. However, it’s not just height that the LEGO Icons model has on its side, with a whopping 5,471 pieces put to good use when constructing the towering build’s craggy exterior and detail-packed interior.
In addition, Middle-earth aficionados also get to populate the set with 10 minifigures, including the first-ever version of Sauron. 10333 The Lord of the Rings: Barad-dûr does come with an eye-watering price tag though, but pick up the model during LEGO Insiders Weekend and you’ll earn a veritable mountain of double points.
2 – 75397 Jabba’s Sail Barge
Theme: Star Wars Price: £429.99 / $499.99 / €499.99 Pieces: 3,943 Minifigures: 9 (plus Salacious Crumb and Jabba the Hutt figures) LEGO: Order now
This year’s most recent LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series set is 75397 Jabba’s Sail Barge, a 3,943-piece recreation of the Hutt crime lord’s desert ride from Return of the Jedi. Another licensed LEGO model with a wallet-wincing price tag, this mighty build just about manages to justify its high cost.
For 429.99 / $499.99 / €499.99 you are getting the most accurate version of Jabba’s vessel to date though. From the impressive fabric sails and a packed interior to the set’s character selection and overall scale, this is one LEGO Star Wars model well worth snapping up for double points this weekend.
3 – 76294 X-Men: The X-Mansion
Theme: Marvel Price: £289.99 / $329.99 / €329.99 Pieces: 3,093 Minifigures: 10 LEGO: Order now
Although not officially part of the LEGO Modular Buildings Collection, 76294 X-Men: The X-Mansion can still fit snugly alongside many of those existing sets. The LEGO Marvel model takes its inspiration from the X-Men: The Animated Series (and X-Men ’97) and is assembled in three distinct segments.
Inside are plenty of fan favourite comic book locations and moments, with a selection of 10 mutant minifigures included alongside a brick-built Sentinel. Well thought out and designed, 76294 X-Men: The X-Mansion is guaranteed to find a home in many fan’s collections this weekend, with bonus double points on top too.
4 – 21348 Dungeons & Dragons: Red Dragon’s Tale
Theme: Ideas Price: £314.99 / $359.99 / €359.99 Pieces: 3,745 Minifigures: 6 LEGO: Order now
Based on the classic tabletop RPG game and Lucas Bolt’s 2022 LEGO Ideas submission, 21348 Dungeons & Dragons: Red Dragon’s Tale is a true beast of a build. The massive model packs in 3,745 pieces, alongside six unique minifigures, to deliver a set that can be displayed, played with and even roleplayed with.
In addition, the modular aspect of 21348 Dungeons & Dragons: Red Dragon’s Tale makes it easy to transport and set up, complete with imposing crimson Cinderhowl perched on top of the tower. Fans of Wizards of the Coast’s fantasy worlds should consider this an essential purchase, one that will also reward LEGO Insiders members with a treasure trove of double points.
5 – 21353 The Botanical Garden
Theme: Ideas Price: £289.99 / $329.99 / €329.99 Pieces: 3,792 Minifigures: 12 LEGO: Order now
Another recent 2024 release that would fit right in with the LEGO Modular Buildings Collection is 21353 The Botanical Garden. Based on a winning LEGO Ideas submission by fan designer Valentina Bima, the 3,792-piece model sits on a pair of 32×32 baseplates and features a sprawling glasshouse consisting of three different atriums.
Inside 21353 The Botanical Garden are numerous plants and flowers, as well as a café for visitors and a spiral staircase leading to an observation deck. The inclusion of 12 unique minifigures and the chance to score double LEGO Insiders points this weekend make this a must-have set for sure.
