August is the month of holidays, beaches, sunshine and many, many LEGO sets releasing. From licensed themes such as Marvel and Star Wars to homegrown brands such as DREAMZzz and Technic, the 1st of August 2024 is set to be a busy day for LEGO fans, especially with some new and returning promotional items.
August the 1st 2024 marks the release of plenty of new and exciting LEGO Technic models including the first-ever promo for the theme. This is 6535735 P1 Logo which coincides with the brand new LEGO Technic Supercar model of 42172 McLaren P1. The other nonlicensed theme we mentioned earlier of LEGO DREAMZzz will also see some promos of its own starting from this date.
40712 Micro Rocket Launch Pad will also be available from the 1st of August 2024 as we see the return of a popular LEGO GWP from earlier in the year. It's likely we'll see more returning promos possibly throughout August but definitely during the rest of 2024. But August also sees the launch of a brand new LEGO Creator 3in1 GWP of 40691 Mythical Pegasus.
A very exciting start to the eighth month of the year with three promos available from the 1st of August 2024 but here's what we know so far for August 2024's full selection of GWPs:
6535735 P1 Logo
August the 1st 2024 marks the release of this year's flagship LEGO Technic Supercar model of 42172 McLaren P1. The 18+ set will have a corresponding GWP of 6535735 P1 Logo becoming the first LEGO Technic GWP ever. The set itself consists of a stylized brick-built McLaren P1 logo with a crank mechanism to rotate the logo.
This makes it a great display piece to put alongside the brick-built model car but it will only be available from the 1st to the 7th of August 2024. It will also only be available with purchases of 42172 McLaren P1 rather than all LEGO Technic sets and you will not be able to stack other LEGO promotional items with the purchase of the 18+ model 42172 McLaren P1.
Set Name - P1 Logo
Set Number - 6535735
Age Range - 10+
Piece Count - 178
Price - GWP of 42172 McLaren P1
Release Date - 1st August - 7th August 2024
40712 Microscale Rocket Launchpad
2024 has been the year for LEGO and space so it's no surprise to see a space-themed GWP returning after it initially debuted in February. In particular, this is the LEGO Classic Space model of 40712 Microscale Rocket Launchpad. The model was previously available with any purchases over $200 and this will happen once again starting from the 1st of August 2024 until the 7th of August 2024.
The set itself is a nod to some classic LEGO space sets such as 6950 Mobile Rocket Transport, 6971 Inter-Galactic Command Base and 920 Alpha-1 Rocket Base. However, this time they are built in a much smaller, microscale way allowing two LEGO Classic Space baby Minifigures to be included. These are a blue version and a white version which are small enough to fit inside the spaceship included in 40712.
Set Name - Microscale Rocket Launchpad
Set Number - 40712

Piece Count - 325
Price - GWP over $200

40691 Mythical Pegasus
Last but not least we have a brand new Gift With Purchase for August of 40691 Mythical Pegasus. The LEGO Creator 3in1 set will be available starting from the 19th of August 2024 for a currently unknown threshold. Being an unlicensed model, there is a possibility that the set is only available with unlicensed themes such as LEGO Creator 3in1 itself and LEGO City for example.
A colourful Mythical Pegasus is the main build of the set coming in white, purple, blue, and light blue as its mystical and fantasy-like colour scheme. The creature also includes brick-built wings as part of its 278 pieces along with a brown column so that it can be nicely displayed. 40691 is also a LEGO Creator 3in1 model so the Mythical Pegasus is only one of three different builds with the other two models being a dragon and a mythical bird.
Set Name - Mythical Pegasus
Set Number - 40691
Age Range - 7+
Piece Count - 278
Price - TBC GWP
Release Date - 19th August 2024
