The promotional freebie from the LEGO Store for April 2018 is a Minifigure Factory (set number 5005358). The giveaway includes a LEGO factory worker, along with five micro-figures depicting classic LEGO themes. Orders over $75 are eligible, and the promotion runs from April 1st through April 20th (when the next wave of LEGO Star Wars sets from Solo hit stores), or until supplies run out.
The micro-figures include the original police officer from 1978, a LEGO Pirates fig with a striped shirt, a blue Classic Space fig, a Ninjago character called Pixel Rebooted, and a doctor from LEGO City.
I have to get this just for Benny. I mean, the spaceman.
Not even here do they acknowledge castle ever existed.
I’m new to these sets..but does the box turn into the background or is that just something to make the set look more exciting?
@William I haven’t seen this set in person but I believe this will open like a ‘matchbox’ and then the inner part will become the backdrop. If you look at the edge of the inner box on the left, it has the same silver pattern as the ceiling of the factory.
I think the doctor microfig is a direct reference to the Nurse from Minifigure Series 1:

@Zilberfrid: The other promotional 60th anniversary kit – 40290 – from earlier this year featured a mini model of the original yellow castle. Castle hasn’t been entirely left out of the anniversary material, although I would also have rather had a castle microfig than the Ninjago figure.
