As soon as word leaked out regarding the release of this year’s LEGO Creator Expert Mini Cooper 10242, LEGO fans began speculating about the possibility that LEGO would release a LEGO Mini Mini Cooper (Mini Cooper Mini?) as a promotional item alongside the LEGO Mini Cooper 10242. I was doubtful of whether or not we’d get a LEGO Mini Cooper Mk. II polybag right away, but I can’t be skeptical anymore: the Mini LEGO Mini Cooper 40109 polybag promo set is arriving this summer!

The 10242 LEGO Mini Cooper set coming out this summer is one of the most anticipated and talked-about LEGO sets of 2014. I’m not at all a “car person”, but even I admit that it’s one of the most charming LEGO vehicles to ever be designed. Unfortunately, not everyone has the money for a hundred-dollar LEGO car. So why not let everyone in on the fun with a LEGO Mini Cooper polybag promo, right…?

Well… sort of. Hoth Bricks is reporting that LEGO VIP Members who purchased the LEGO Mini Cooper MK II 10242 set during the advance sales period of the second half of July 2014 will automatically receive the 40109 LEGO Mini Mini Cooper polybag promo free with their purchase of the larger Mini Cooper LEGO set.

Luckily, those who can’t afford (or don’t want) the full-size LEGO 10242 Mini Cooper set aren’t out of luck! At least in Europe, the giveaway period for the LEGO Mini Cooper Mini polybag will extend into August 2014, wherein anyone making a 55 € purchase will be able to claim the polybag promo Mini Cooper free!

As of now the LEGO 40109 Mini Cooper polybag promo has yet to be confirmed for the United States at all, and seeing as it’s not on the LEGO Store July 2014 calendar I posted at the beginning of the month, I don’t expect it to be available in the U.S. at all next month. I think it’s far more likely the 40109 LEGO Mini Mini Cooper set will make its U.S. debut as the August 2014 LEGO Stores free promo set, but we’ll have to wait and see what happens.

I’ll post an update once we get confirmation of the domestic release of the LEGO Mini Mini Cooper polybag promo, and you can ‘Like’ Bricks and Bloks on Facebook to have more LEGO news and photos sent right to your Facebook Newsfeed!

Are you excited for the LEGO Mini Cooper promo polybag set, LEGO fans? Or does a little version of a new-release LEGO Creator Expert set just not appeal to your tastes?
