Just updated for 2021! Check out The Ultimate List of LEGO Valentine’s Day Sets post below…
It’s that time of year again where we need to think of a million wonderful ways to tell our special someone how much we love them. For me, it can be as easy as walking into my local LEGO store and picking something up off the shelf. But what if you still need to tailor that LEGO present to the holiday of love? Let me help you out with The Ultimate List of LEGO Valentine’s Day Sets! (Affiliate links do follow.)
This list comprises all of the Valentine’s Day related LEGO sets over the years. Again, this is just me collecting information I’ve found online from different sources and from the LEGO catalog, so if I miss one here or there, please let me know! I want to make sure I’m providing a complete list for those of you out there who are buying for the ultimate LEGO collectors and/or are trying to find a rare set. Here is what I found:
LEGO Valentine’s Brown Bear 40462
Holding an iconic red heart, the LEGO Valentine’s Brown Bear 40462 comes on a picnic blanket decorated with buildable, red, heart-shaped balloons and colorful flowers. He also has posable arms and ears.
Already in the Shop@Home store, you can pick him up for the 2021 Valentine’s Day season!
LEGO Teddy In-Store Event Build
This little guy was the LEGO Valentine’s Day Adult In-Store event build for 2020. (LEGO isn’t running any store events right now, but hopefully they’ll begin doing that again in late 2021.)
We happen to have one, as we signed up for the event ourselves! He comes with a brick-built body and cute “stuffed” opposable arms and legs.
If you’re interested in building him, you can download the instructions here. As for purchasing him, best of luck! I haven’t been able to locate him on Amazon or eBay!
LEGO BrickHeadz Valentine’s Bee 40270
This LEGO BrickHeadz Valentine’s Bee build is absolutely adorable. I have a thing for bees, so I may be partial to it. ;) And while technically not a Valentine’s Day set, it sure fits the bill!
It features decorated eyes, movable wings, detachable heart decoration and a pot of honey. It also includes buildable roses and sunflowers on a buildable collector’s baseplate featuring a seasonal calendar and BrickHeadz logo tiles.
Released in 2018, this set is now discontinued, but you can still find it on Amazon.
LEGO Flower Display (40187)
The LEGO Flower Display (40187) set features a buildable red rose, and a white and yellow daisy, with interchangeable pots. The daisy build technique is one that would later appear again in the LEGO Friends (30404) Daisy Flower in Box build.
Released in 2018, this set is now discontinued, but you can still find it on Amazon.
LEGO Romantic Valentine Picnic 40236
This is the seasonal set for Valentine’s Day 2017. This is probably my favorite of all the LEGO Valentine’s Day sets. The picnic blanket is adorable and who doesn’t love specialty printed bricks? Pineapple and chocolate anyone?
We have yet to go to the store this year, but I do want to pick it up. I can imagine myself building a small forest around this set to make it larger and add to DixieLUG displays. I’m sure you can still find this on Shop@Home and if they run out, it’s a bet you can pick it up at Amazon.com.
LEGO Valentine’s Day Heart Box 40051
This was a 2013 seasonal polybag for Valentine’s Day. An interesting build with a pivot point to keep the lid on the box, this is another scarce build. You can pick this build up on Amazon or eBay.
LEGO Valentine’s Day Box Set 40029
This was a 2012 seasonal set for Valentine’s Day. Big enough to put a small trinket inside, this box was a great seller and sold out almost immediately. Nowadays, you can find the set on eBay or Amazon.
LEGO Friends Mailbox Set 30105
This set was from 2012. If you’re wondering why you never saw it in wide distribution here in the States, it was a promotional item sold only at Target and Walmart. Not specifically marketed as a Valentine’s Day set, this build does feature a kiosk with a heart-shaped decoration. That, in addition to the standard pinks used for LEGO Friends sets, qualifies this one for this ultimate list.
Rare to begin with, you can pick this one up on Amazon or eBay.
LEGO Heart Book Set 40015
This was a small polybag build from 2011. At the time it was sold, it was only $3.00. Nowadays, it sells for upwards of $20. However, the build uses common pieces, so there is nothing stopping you from building this from your own stash.
If you decide to purchase instead, you can find the build on Amazon or eBay… for a pretty penny, or course.
LEGO Valentine Letter Set 40016
Another from 2011, the LEGO Valentine Letter Set has the builder writing the words “Love You” in black bricks on a set of 6 x 6 red plates. Simple enough, but it does require some 2 x 2 bows (those curved bricks). I personally do not come across them often, so your mileage may vary. Find this set on Amazon or eBay.
LEGO Heart 40004
Simple and sweet, this is heart build from 2010 is straight forward and sits on a 6 x 6 disk piece. This is very similar to the Valentine’s Day builds we made in 2014 for the girl’s valentines. I don’t see many of these for sale, so if you come across one on Amazon or eBay, count yourself lucky!
LEGO Rose Set 852786
Also available in 2010, I *suspect* the rose set was released for the Mother’s Day holiday, but can easily double as a Valentine’s Day gift. The only issue with the set, which I can’t understand why they even did this, is that they assembled and glued the pieces together. I’ve never seen this set first hand, but this is a complaint I’ve read in a few reviews.
LEGO Valentine Bear 40085
This 2014 set is a sweet little build, reminiscent of the many Valentine’s Day teddy bears created holding a heart. (You know you’ve seen them everywhere… you *know* what I’m talking about…)
It is a retired set, which means you can find it at an increased price on Amazon or eBay.
LEGO Valentine’s Day Dinner Set 40120
This was the 2015 seasonal set for Valentine’s Day. It’s a nice enough build and while we purchased the set, we never opened it. If you read the blog, you already know we have space issues. There really wasn’t a place for us to display this set, so it remains in the box.
It is a retired set, which means you can find it at an increased price on Amazon or eBay.
LEGO Valentines Cupid Dog Set 40201
This is the 2016 seasonal set for Valentine’s Day. We didn’t pick this one up, because it didn’t call our attention too much. We had other things we were longing for at the time. However, I’ve heard it is a solid build and rather cute. And while we are not fans of brick built LEGO Valentine’s Day sets, if I ran across one in the wild I wouldn’t turn my nose up at it.
Since it’s a new year, this is now a retired set. You can find Cupid Dog on Amazon or eBay.
Nice round up. I plan on getting the picnic set this year and replacing the minifigures with my wife’s and my sig figs. But don’t tell her, it’s a surprise. :)
