System Bricks from Legoland Deutschland

These are system (non-Duplo) bricks that were given out at Legoland Deutschland. These bricks are 2x4x3 (think of 3 2x4 bricks stacked together).

There is a very interesting story with these bricks. In the park there is a 'Factory Tour' attraction. Here the guests get to see these red 2x4x3 bricks actually being made in a real Lego moulding machine. After the bricks are made the brick is then printed with the current design being given out. The bricks are then given out in the factory at a machine where every visitor may press a button to activate a conveyor belt - most of the time an employee checks that you don't take more than one brick. Officially, you have to take the whole factory tour (including a queue of up to 30 Minutes and a presentation movie in advance), because the factory sale room has to be used as a factory exit only. But with some luck you manage to pass the barrier from the sales area to the factory showroom the alternate way…

These bricks are famous for various quality - mostly poor quality. Most bricks have some sort of printing flaw on it in some way. So that is something to keep in mind when collecting these bricks.

Fabrik Pre-Opening Brick Fabrik Pre-Opening Brick

     This brick was the very first promotional brick given out at Legoland Deutschland. This was actually given out before the park opened to the general public. There was a special 'preview night' where only invited guests got in to get a sneak peek of the newest Legoland park. This was only given out to those guests who took the factory tour, so not everybody got one of these.
Fabrik 2002 Brick Fabrik 2002 Brick

     This is the first of the regular 'Fabrik' bricks given out at Legoland Deutschland. During the 2002 season visitors could pick up one of these bricks after they took the factory tour.
New Years Eve 2002 / 2003 New Years Eve 2002 / 2003

     This brick was given out on New Years Eve 2002. This proved to be one of the harder Fabrik bricks to get. Every single of thesebricks I have seen have had more printing flaws than is normal than on other Fabrik style bricks.
Lego Club Day April 2003 Brick Lego Club Day April 2003 Brick

     These Lego club day bricks are always hard to get. They are only given out for a few days to members of the Lego club BEFORE the park had its offical opening for the season. This brick features Johnny Thunder and was given out in April 2003.
Fabrik 2003 Brick Fabrik 2003 Brick

     The second year of the 'Fabrik' brick! This is the same story as the 2002 brick pictured above. I would have liked a new design on this brick, but oh well - maybe next year.
Deposit Brick Deposit Brick

     This brick was given to guests when they purchased a drink in a bottle at the park. The deposit for the bottles in Germany is quite high and this brick was given out to guests to ensure that guests did not bring in bottles from outside the park to redeem the high deposit price, you turned in your bottle and the brick and you got your deposit back.
Legoland Deutschland's First Birthday Brick Legoland Deutschland's First Birthday Brick

     When Legoland Deutschland had its first birthday is when these bricks were given out to the guests so they could celebrate the park's birthday. From what I understand these bricks were only given out the one day - May 17th 2003.
Cameraman Brick Cameraman Brick

     There is a major mystery about this brick. But from what I have been told this brick was only given out for about a month and only when you purchased one of those pictures they take of you when you are on a ride. This has proven to be one of the harder fabrik bricks to get.
Winter 2003 / 2004 Brick Winter 2003 / 2004 Brick

     This brick was given out in the 2003 winter season at Legoland Deutschland as they visited the Lego factory tour room.
Lego Club Day May 2004 Brick Lego Club Day March 2004 Brick

     As with the previous Lego Club Day brick, this was a very hard brick to get and only given out for a very short time in the same fashion as the previous year's club brick. This brick features the often used green dragon and was given out in March 2004.
Fabrik 2004 Brick Fabrik 2004 Brick

     For the third season the fabrik bricks are made in the same style and given out in the same fashion the 2002 and 2003 bricks pictured above. I would have still liked a new design on this brick, but oh well - maybe next year *cough*. This brick was given out to visitors after they take the Lego Factory Tour in Legoland, Deutschland.
Legoland Deutschland's Second Birthday Brick Legoland Deutschland's Second Birthday Brick

     When Legoland Deutschland had its second birthday is when these bricks were given out to the guests so they could celebrate the park's birthday. From what I understand these bricks were only given out the one day - May 17th 2004.
Jahr De Technik 2004 Brick Jahr Der Technik 2004 Brick

     Jahr Der Technik had a traveling exhibition in the summer and autumn in some German cities during 2004. But this brick was only given out at only one event and some were given out at Legoland Deutschland. Not many of these made it out to the public because this brick was a mistake and in conflict with the Lego trademark rules in some way.
Halloween 2004 Brick Halloween 2004 Brick

     This was the first brick given out at Legoland Deutschland to celebrate Halloween. This brick was given out in the same fashion as all the other fabrik bricks and was given out from October 23rdst 2004.
Winter 2004 / 2005 Brick Winter 2004 / 2005 Brick

     This brick was given out in the 2004 winter season at Legoland Deutschland as they visited the Lego factory tour room.
Fabrik 2005 Brick Fabrik 2005 Brick

     For the fourth season the fabrik bricks are made in the same style and given out in the same fashion the 2002, 2003 and 2004 bricks pictured above. I would have still liked a new design on this brick, but oh well - maybe next year (Have I said this before?). There have been reports that theses bricks are no longer given out at the end of the factory tour after you get to see the bricks made and decorated. They are now given out at the beginning of the tour and the machine no longer runs during park hours. It has also been reported that the alignment of the machine is out of sync with the machine (this is VERY easy to see at the horrible printing quality seen on the bricks below) and the machine is not being fixed and maintained as it should be. This is really a shame, I would hope Legoland would not let this machine get this bad as it only makes the quality of Lego printing look bad in general. I have not seen a 3rd birthday brick that the printing is even close to being correct.
Allianz Arena Brick Allianz Arena Brick

     This brick was given out to celebrate the opening of the Legoland version of the Allianz Arena. This brick was given out at Legoland Deutschland on May 12th, a few days before the real Allianz Areana opened up. The LLD areana is the biggest LEGO building in the world! A special translucent Lego brick was developed for the model. With this innovation and with the help of 5,000 LEDs, the stadium can be lit up in red, white and blue to look almost like the original. The stadium also features 30,000 mini Lego fans, football stars’ changing rooms, the arrival area for the team buses and several VIP lounges. In addition, at the press of a button visitors to the park can activate different animations.
Legoland Deutschland's Second Birthday Brick Legoland Deutschland's Third Birthday Brick

     When Legoland Deutschland had its third birthday is when these bricks were given out to the guests so they could celebrate the park's birthday. These bricks were only given out the one day - May 17th 2005. All of the bricks I have seen has had the same off-printing on the ballons, this is a good example of how bad the printing quality has become.
Lego Club Day 2005 Brick Lego Club Day 2005 Brick

     This brick was given out for a short time to Lego Club members in July of 2005. This brick is another great example of the poor quality bricks Legoland Deutschland is making. Each of these bricks I have seen either in person or in pictures ALL have horrible printing quality.
Fabrik 2006 Brick Fabrik 2006 Brick

     For the fifth season the fabrik bricks are made in the same style and given out in the same fashion as previous years. From the pictures I have seen of the brick it looks like they fixed the machine that does the printing on the bricks. If this is true it is a long overdue and very welcome fix to the printing problems that have been so obvious in the past.
Legoland Deutschland's fourth Birthday Brick Legoland Deutschland's Fourth Birthday Brick

     As with the previous birthday bricks this was given out when Legoland Deutschland celebrated its fourth birthday. These bricks were given out on May 17th 2006. As with the Fabrik brick it looks like they have fixed the major printing problems that they have had in the past.
Lego Club Day 2006 Brick Lego Club Day 2006 Brick

     Legoland Deutschland continues its annual Lego Club Day for 2006 in the month of July. These bricks were given out only to members of the Lego Club and for a very short amount of time. A design of a soccer player was used perhaps to celebrate the 2006 World Cup that took place in Germany.
