This is an update of my original Woolworths Bricks 2021 article, now covering everything you need to know about the 2023 Farm set.
I’m a big LEGO fan. While I’m mostly interested in genuine LEGO-branded bricks, I still enjoy this promotion. It’s great to see a change in theme from the previous supermarket theme. The farm theme does well to emphasise the “fresh food people” slogan.
It’s also pretty handy for a lot of people who recently bought the official LEGO farm sets, which these will integrate well with. I’ll show examples of those later in the article in case you want to get those as well.
Now, for those who revel in the joy of assembling LEGO sets, consider adding a personalized touch to your collection with a custom photo puzzle. This unique gift idea allows you to transform cherished memories into a playful and interactive experience.
In this guide, I will cover the following topics:

Woolworths Bricks Supermarket 2021
Below is my original article & guide for the 2021 Woolworths Bricks Series originally published in September 2021.
I’m a massive Lego fan. I’m so passionate about Lego that I generally hate most “Lego-compatible” products on the market, but I also love fast food and most supermarket promotions that involve free toys. In particular, I loved the Coles Little Shop Minis which were miniature real-world food product toys. Whilst Bunnings Warehouse has done their own bootleg Lego sets recently, I wasn’t as interested in those as most of it wasn’t Lego Minifigure scale. Woolworths’ Bricks promotion really ties into my interests, so I had to get into it.
These launched today, the 8th of September 2021 and there are 36 blind-bag Woolworths Bricks sets as well as other products you can buy to go along with them. This includes 2 versions of the Woolworths shopfront, a basic set with just the front of the store for $6 and a deluxe version with a sidewall and delivery door for $10. There is also a large delivery truck (not sure of the price) and a smaller delivery truck for $10.
Due to the backlash some previous supermarket promotions gained for giving away toys that might end up in landfill, so this set has a lot of elements to it that suggests environmentalism, such as the plastics used here is made of at least 80% recycled materials and promoting that you can return the toys for recycling if you don’t want them anymore.
The complete Woolworths Bricks blind bag checklist is at the end of the article, so scroll down if you’re here for that!

Woolworths Bricks Start Pack Deluxe vs Basic
Like most, possibly all of the other promotional collectibles at Australian supermarkets in recent years, there is always a collectors box or display album available and given the subject matter here, a buildable Woolworths playset is a very clever way to store all the little food items. This integrates really well with the blind bag products.
I’m not sure why they made two versions of the starter pack for the Woolworths Bricks set. The Deluxe set is definitely better value at only $4 more for twice as much wall space and more than double the brick count (it uses a lot more smaller bricks, whilst double doors take up a lot of the front). The other difference is that the left-hand corner is also raised on the deluxe set.
As you can see by the picture above, the Deluxe set appears to be more popular, but my store seemed to have more display boxes for the basic pack. It is a shame that these two sets do not appear to work together to warrant buying both.
If you are planning on buying the Woolworths Bricks Truck, the loading door on the deluxe set definitely makes it worth getting for the play value.
Woolworths Bricks Starter Pack Deluxe Review
I bought only the deluxe set. It was very quick to build and the design of it is surprisingly robust. The baseplate itself is thicker than similarly sized official LEGO baseplates. The clutch power of the bricks is surprisingly strong and the overall size of the layout is generous. It definitely makes you want to keep shopping at Woolworths in order to fill it up with products.
I do have some concerns about the quality control of the bricks themselves.
The 1×2 and 1×3 bricks are a darker green than the 1×4 bricks. This does not appear to be intentional colour choices, but an issue with quality control. The picture on the box does not show these as different colours. But considering how cheap this was, you can’t really expect it to be as consistent as real LEGO bricks.
When it comes to the build strength, the brickwork is done in a very reasonable way with strong corners, but what really bothers me is the reliance on stickers and how they work. Each sticker goes across multiple bricks, meaning that if you ever want to disassemble the set, you would break the stickers, ruining it. There are so many stickers in this set that very little can be safely dismantled without damaging them.
So many stickers covering multiple bricks. I think this design flaw will upset a lot of kids when they try to arrange their store and end up ruining it.
Woolworths Bricks Figure Pack Review
I was trying to hit $30 to get my free blind bag so I grabbed two of these Woolworths Minifigure sets.
Again, I was a little disappointed in the use of stickers on the Minifigures here, these will likely wear out with a lot of play from children. I’ve seen real LEGO get quite beat up with excessive play, these stickers will not last long.
As expected the contents of both were the same (it never said there was variety), but that was OK because I could mix and match the parts a bit to make them seem more unique.
The problem I find with this set is when you combine it with the other sets, you have far more staff than shoppers. This will kill the realism of the play experience a bit. Normally, staff are quite outnumbered.
Woolworths Bricks (Fake Lego) Checklist
If you have bought the Starter Pack, you will notice a checklist on the back page. However, the checklist is missing 4 products and a few appear to have changed or been placeholders since this was printed, making the checklist difficult to use. This means it might be hard for anyone to find a proper checklist for these online so I’ve put together my own checklist here to help you out. The following information is from the Woolworths website but is a little hard to navigate and probably won’t be online for long after the promotion ends, so hopefully, this comes in handy for people in the future.

Hi, thanks for this post! Just wondering if it can be used on a lego base? Thanks!
Hi Tina,
This is all fully compatible with Lego products including your existing Lego baseplates.
Hi 16 17 are back the front
Thank you very much for the list
Thank you very much for the list ???26 missing
I saw this mentioned on brickset in passing and I was intrigued. If this was in my local grocery store I’d be all over it. The food packaging and the check out counters stand out to me.
Are there different mini figures or did you get the set? Thanks
I bought 2x of the set of 4 characters, I mixed their pieces up so there would appear to be more of them. I later also got the store manager character from a packet.
