Legoland California has given out more promotional bricks than any other single place. While the tradition began with the brick given out at the Kid Vention event in 2000, promo bricks didn't really take off until the popular Brick Or Treat event later the same year. Since then, it's become a popular program and has turned many pass members into collectors. The successful LLCA commemorative brick program started in May 2003 and ran solid with new bricks being released about every 45 days until late 2005. At this point, production of the bricks was moved to China to save on costs, which resulted in some problems with the program. The Lego 50th anniversary brick was first brick that was announced to pass members but not given out due to "production problems." For me, it was a true shame that this was the first brick not to make it, since this brick was to commemorate a very special milestone in the history of Lego. It was very ironic that a brick to celebrate a milestone for company that is known for its quality was nixed due to cutting costs and moving production to China. In early 2006, three new bricks were announced in the pass member newsletter "Brick By Brick" these were the Miniland California, Bricks In Bloom, and the Membership bricks. Unfortunately, like the 50th anniversary brick, these never made it to the park and were never given out. It is unknown if the bricks were even produced. In the Spring 2006 issue of Brick By Brick and on the LLCA website, it was announced that, "Unfortunately, due to international production issues, the 2006 Commemorative Brick series has been suspended until further notice." At this point there has been no further word when or if the popular program will return. Here is all the bricks given out at Legoland California in the order they were released.

Life on Mars Brick      The Life on Mars brick was to celebrate the opening of the Life on Mars show at Legoland, CA in Spring of 2001. There is no evidence that this brick was given out when it was intended to. I have been told that this brick was not ready for the show opening so it was not given out at that time.

The Clikits Brick was the third brick of the '2003 Passholder Brick' collection, these bricks were only given out to 'Membership Plus' passholders August 1st - August 31st, 2003.

The Dragon Brick      This is the ninth brick of the 2004 Commemorative Brick program taking place at Legoland California! The Dragon ride, located in the Knights' Kingdom area of the park, is one of the more popular rides at Legoland California. This is actually a first for any commemorative brick!

This brick was given out to year pass holders from September 9th - October 22nd 2004. Brick or Treat, 2004 - Version A      This brick was given out at the fifth annual Brick or Treat celebration at Legoland California in 2004. It is also the tenth brick given out in the 2004 Legoland California Commemorative Duplo Brick program. You would get the brick during a walk down the trick or treat path that was set up to celebrate Halloween or in the Lego Clubhouse where the promo bricks were given out to pass holders. This brick was given out from October 23rd - 31st, 2004. Knights and Damsels Mini-Renaissance Faire Brick      This is the eleventh brick of the 2004 Commemorative Brick program taking place at Legoland CA. During the weekends of November Legoland is having a Knights and Damsels Mini-Renaissance Faire. And this brick is to celebrate the faire taking place.

Happy Holidays 2004 Brick      This is the twelfth brick of the 2004 Commemorative Brick program taking place at Legoland CA. This was to celebrate the annual Holiday Block Party Legoland has where the park is decorated in all sorts of holiday cheer. This brick was given out to year pass holders from November 22nd - December 30th 2004. New Year's Eve 2004 Version A Brick      The story on this brick is still unclear, but I have bene told this was meant to be a test brick only. It was not given out to guests on New Year's Eve as the other version of this brick was. The only place this brick was given out was to children once they took the Lego Factory Tour and were lucky enough to be greeted by the Legoland employee staffing that area who had this brick for the short time she had them. This version says 2004 and the printing of the 2004 is off center on all of the bricks. I actually think this would have been the better brick to give out - since it was to celebrate New Year's Eve in 2004. New Year's Eve 2004 Version B Brick      This is the thirteenth, and last brick of the 2004 Commemorative Brick program taking place at Legoland CA. This version was the one given out to guests who visited the park on December 31st 2004 and to passholders for the first few weeks of 2005 until the 2005 Commemorative Brick program started up. This version has 2005 printed on it and unlike the other version the 2005 is centered on the brick. I think this brick is very misleading as if you did not know you would think this brick was to celebrate New Year's at the END of 2005, not 2004 as it really was meant to celebrate. I can only hope they follow Legoland Deutschland's example and put dual years on the brick or put the correct year on the brick to avoid any confusion. Again, this brick was given out on December 31st of 2004 to ring in the new year of 2005. Lego World Record Tower 2005 Brick      This is the first brick of the 2005 Commemorative Brick program taking place at Legoland CA. This was to celebrate the world record tower building event that took place at Legoland from February 17th - 21st.

Miniland New York 2005 Brick      This is the second brick of the 2005 Commemorative Brick program taking place at Legoland CA. This was to celebrate the re-opening of Miniland New York.

This brick was given out to year pass holders for a short period of March 11th - March 18th 2005. Junior Master Model Builder, 2005 Brick      This is a special brick and not part of the 2005 Commemorative Brick program taking place at Legoland CA, it is considered a 'Bonus Brick' and is the first such brick of 2005. This brick is only given out to guests that take place in the Junior Master Model Builder competition that takes place the first weekend of the month starting the weekend of March 5th, 2005 and ending in November 2005, with the monthly winners in a final showdown in December. Every guest can take part in the competition and the contest is broken up into the 'under 12' and '12+' categories. Once you finish your entry you are given one brick when you enter your model into the contest. Star 100.7 Party March 19, 2005 Brick      This was a surprise brick, and not part of the 2005 Commemorative Brick program taking place at Legoland CA. This was to given out for one day only (March 19th) by the radio station Star 100.7 FM on the first day of the Bricks In Bloom celebration. This is a very rare brick since not many were made and nobody knew about it in advance and they ran out if the brick the same day. Also a side note about this brick, a few days after the brick was given out the name and format of the radio station changed to Jack 100.7. So this is probably one of, if not the last "Star 100.7" item given out. Bricks In Bloom 2005 Brick      This is the third brick of the 2005 Commemorative Brick program taking place at Legoland CA. This was to celebrate the Carlsbad Flower Fields first ever Bricks In Bloom celebration being held at Legoland CA.

Knights’ Tournament offers five different levels of intensity, and each intensity level will provide a different experience. This brick was given out to year pass holders from May 14th - June 10th 2005. Legoland Factory Tour Brick      As with the Junior Master Model Builder, this brick is not part of the Commemorative Brick program taking place at Legoland CA, but rather a 'Bonus Brick'.

In this tour guests can watch a short movie that takes a light hearted view of how Lego parts are made, 2x4 bricks being made, how Lego parts are printed, how part assemblies are put together and finally boxed. Unlike the factory tour in Legoland Deutschland where the guests actually see the brick made and printed and then get to take that brick home with them, these bricks were made and printed elsewhere. This brick was first given out to guests on June 9th 2005 and was given out for the remainder of 2005.

[Buy it HERE.] Best Birthday On The Block 2005 Brick      As with the Junior Master Model Builder and Factory Tour brick, this brick is not part of the Commemorative Brick program taking place at Legoland CA, but rather a 'Bonus Brick'. This is the fourth such Bonus Brick for 2005. This brick is only given out to guests that have the 'The Ultimate Birthday Party' at Legoland CA. This brick is not being given out to the general public so this will be a hard brick to get! Brick or Treat, 2005 - Version A      This brick was given out at the sixth annual Brick or Treat celebration at Legoland California in 2005. It is also the ninth brick given out in the 2005 Legoland California Commemorative Duplo Brick program.

This year the Brick Or Treat path was moved to the Enchanted Walk area of the park. This brick was scheduled to be given out from October 22nd to October 31st, 2005 but due to issues with the 'Lego 50th Anniversary' brick that was supposed to be given out this brick was given out until December 17th of 2005. Holiday Block Party 2005 Brick      This is the tenth brick of the 2005 Commemorative Brick program taking place at Legoland CA.

This was the one given out to guests who visited the park on December 31st 2005 and to passholders for the first few weeks of 2006 until the 2006 Commemorative Brick program started up. I think this brick is very misleading as if you did not know you would think this brick was to celebrate New Year's at the END of 2006, not 2005 as it really was meant to celebrate. I can only hope they follow Legoland Deutschland's example and put dual years on the brick or put the correct year on the brick to avoid any confusion.
