Were these sets ever sold in shops?

As a rule, no. They went to a limited group of recipients, so today most copies change hands second-hand.

What is the LEGO Inside Tour Anniversary Collection?

It is the largest set in this theme, released in 2025 with 1,912 pieces. Its name refers to the Inside Tour, a behind-the-scenes visit in Billund.

How far back does the theme go?

The earliest entry dates from 1970 and the latest from 2026, so the theme covers more than five decades.

About LEGO Exclusive

Recent exclusives are big builds

Every one of the eight largest exclusives has more than 1,300 pieces, and all of them were released between 2021 and 2026. The LEGO Inside Tour Anniversary Collection (4000046-1) from 2025 tops the list at 1,912 pieces, ahead of Toy Store (4002025-1) with 1,769 and Vintage LEGO Logo (4000049-1) with 1,614. LEGO Factories National Animals (4002024-1) and Bugatti Type 35 (4000048-1) are separated by a single piece, at 1,601 and 1,600.

Billund, the campus and the brand

A good share of the names point back to the company and its home town. LEGO Campus (4000038-1) from 2022, with 1,494 pieces, and I ❤️ Billund (40507-1) from 2026, with 1,404, both refer to Billund in Denmark, while the Inside Tour is a behind-the-scenes visit held there. Not every exclusive is about the company, though: The Temple of Celebrations (4002021-1) from 2021 has 1,312 pieces, and Bugatti Type 35 takes a classic 1920s racing car as its subject.

Checking a second-hand exclusive

Since these sets rarely appeared in ordinary retail, buying one usually means the second-hand market. The parts list lets you compare a listing against the full inventory, piece by piece, before you commit. It is just as useful if you want to rebuild a model from your own collection, because it shows which colours and elements you would need.

What the full list holds

The entries run from 1970 to 2026, but the heavyweights are all recent: the eight largest sets were released between 2021 and 2026, which means every older entry has fewer than 1,312 pieces. Browsing the full list, you will therefore find modest early pieces next to large modern display models.
