A kind person has sent me photos of a 2021 promotional LEGO set of a small wind turbine. It comes in a zip-lock bag with parts and instructions, but with no set number. Here are photos of the set and instructions (click images for larger versions).

Note: The build image was made with Mecabricks. Their renderfarm is currently unavailable, so I use a lower quality screenshot of the build instead.

This post serves to document the six promotional LEGO sets released in Japan in 2022. They were part of a stamp rally celebrating the JR East 150th anniversary.

Update: 8 February, 2024: These sets are rumored to have started to show up elsewhere, e.g. the Wooden Duck in a Danish toy store in 2024. So they cannot in general be considered Japan exclusive sets.

Please note that these sets seem to be identical to the small builds found in LEGO set 11021.

I do not have full details on all six sets because I have only found three of them. For the other three I only have part of the set name taken from photos available eBay and from a Japanese flea market web site.

The sets are:

6422232: Wooden Duck (also rumored to have shown up as a Danish toy store promo in 2024)
6422233: Royal Carriage*
6422234: Fabuland Elephant
6422235: Galaxy Explorer
6422236: Police Station
6422237: Pineapple ???

* = name is guessed from partial name and model look.

For documentation purposes, I save the two photos here (I was not able to obtain permissions from the owners of the photos). If you know more about these sets, don’t hesitate to comment here. 🙂

I have made some 3D renders of three the sets I have found:

Last image is not a complete render like the others (MecaBricks render is down).

Bilka har ifm. byggeevents i 2019 og 2020 uddelt nogle små LEGO-sæt. Byggevejledningerne til disse sæt er umiddelbart ikke tilgængelige nogen steder, så jeg har valgt at lægge dem her i håbet om, at det ikke træder nogen over tæerne og kan komme til gavn for byggere og samlere.

I recently found these correction sheets for LEGO sets 4756 (“Shrieking Shack”), 7016 (“Viking Boat against the Wyvern Dragon”) 8420 (“Street Bike”) and 8431 (“Pneumatic Crane Truck
“) and 7894 (“Airport”). I’m providing high resolution (300dpi) scans here in case anyone’s interested.

Jeg har fundet fire papkort på et loppemarked, som ligner byggevejledninger til LEGO-klodser. De bærer alle nummeret “544” og har teksten “Safari – det store Afrikaspil” på bagsiden. Om kortene har været en del af spillet er er en reklame for det, vides ikke, og byggevejledningerne er også ret specielle og ligner ikke noget, som LEGO plejer at lave, fx skal de læses nedefra og op. LEGO-sæt nr. 544 har faktisk klodserne, der skal til at bygge hver af de fire figurer, så det kunne godt tyde på, at kortene på én eller anden måde er forbundet med det sæt, men næppe har været en del af det. Jeg har spurgt i flere LEGO-fora uden at nogen kunne kaste lys over sagen. Hvis du ved noget mere, så vil jeg gerne høre fra dig. Du kan se de fire kort nedenfor inkl. deres bagside.

Opdatering 28.7.2021: Jeg har modtaget informationer om spillet fra en schweizer, som har den franske og tyske udgave af spillet. Her er hans noter på engelsk og billeder af spillet:

Dice was also a part of the game (besides the board and the cards), to select who plays first and how many fields one has to cross. Maybe minifigures from those Basic sets were used as game figures? Or some special figures were given with this game? It’s hard to tell.

On the “cover” of the game board two additional examples of cards can be seen (one for the Basic set 555 and one for 566). As far as I know, only 4 cards were made for the set 544. I’m not sure how many were made for the other two sets (those sets are bigger, so maybe more cards were made for them).

Here is are the instructions for the game (I translated it from those pictures):
• The “Safari” can be played with up to 4 players.
• First, the 4 cards are spread out and then each player draws a card. This way, everyone knows which animal they will have to deal with during the game.
• At the beginning, each player takes the first brick he needs for his animal. Then, each player rolls the dice once: the player with the most points starts, followed by the one sitting to his right, etc.
• Each player progresses according to the number of points they get.
• Any player who rolls a “six” is allowed to play a second time.
• Whoever lands on a square marked with the LEGO logo has the right to take another brick for their animal.
• On some other fields there are short texts describing good and bad events on safari (discovering a mine with precious stones, coming straight to the large herd of impalas which block the road, etc.), depending on which you lose or you get 1 or 2 bricks for your model.

The end of the instructions can not be seen in the picture, but I guess that the winner is the one who completes his model before others.
