The verdict

I built this in under an hour and grinned the whole way through it, those fender skirts alone made me forgive everything else about it.

It was only ever a gift with purchase tied to Shopping Street, so you cannot walk into a store and buy it outright, and that is the real catch here. If you already qualified for the promotion or you can find one secondhand for a fair price, it is a charming little display piece. If you are hunting it down purely to own it, be honest with yourself about whether you want to pay collector markup for 243 pieces.

Best for: Icons collectors who already had Shopping Street in the cart and wanted the free extra on the shelf

The full review

What it is

I will admit I did not expect much from a gift with purchase set, those tend to be filler. This one is not. LEGO built a genuinely cute little parade car, blue chassis, white fender skirts swept back like a 1920s roadster, red pennants running along the side, and it reads as a real design instead of a rushed afterthought. The two minifigures riding along in their absurd hats, one shaped like a cheeseburger, one a pirate cocked hat, are the kind of small joke that makes you smile every time you walk past the shelf.

The catch

Here is the honest part. This was never a retail set. LEGO gave it away free with a qualifying purchase of the Shopping Street modular building in early January 2026, for about a week, and then it was gone. That means the 243 piece count and simple build are exactly what you would expect from a promotional freebie, not a $30 set you chose to buy. If you are seeing this listed for real money now, you are paying collector premium for scarcity, not for piece count or complexity.

Who it's for

Get this one if you love Icons vignettes and parade or carnival theming and can find a fair secondhand price, or if you are the type who wants every GWP for the display case. Skip it if you are piece-count conscious or expect a full build weekend out of it, this is a light, quick, cheerful little model and nothing more.

The parts story

What the build is actually like, and the pieces worth knowing about.

The build itself is fast and straightforward, more of a lunch break project than a serious session. The chassis goes together first with a simple wheel arch structure, then the body panels click on to build up those distinctive curved fender skirts, which is really the one moment in the whole build where you feel the design intention. After that it is quick work finishing the seats, the parade banner arch with its two lampposts, and dressing the minifigures in their hats.

The standout elements are the curved white fender panels that give the car its rounded vintage silhouette, they are doing most of the visual work here and they do it well. The two hat pieces are genuinely fun and unusual, a cheeseburger topper and a pirate-style hat, and the printed banner piece reading Annual Silly Hats Parade is a nice bit of theming you will not find anywhere else. At 243 pieces for something that was only ever given away free, the part count is not the point, the character is.

Fun facts

01The set was a gift with qualifying purchase of the Icons Shopping Street (11371) modular building, available only from January 1 to 11, 2026, and was never sold as a standalone retail set.
02The parade banner reads 'Annual Silly Hats Parade,' matching the two minifigures who wear a cheeseburger hat and a pirate hat instead of standard headwear.
03It broke from LEGO's earlier pattern of tying modular building promotions to a second full modular building, opting instead for a small display vignette.
04The design deliberately echoes early 20th century automobile styling, with exaggerated rear fender skirts standing in for the running boards and long hoods of that era.
