"A Recommended promotional polybag with a BrickScore of 70.2, the Iconic VIP Set packs more creative detail into its tiny store diorama than most fans expect, with an exclusive employee minifig and clever dragon integration making it a worthwhile find wherever it surfaces."
The Iconic VIP Set (40178) is a 2017 promotional polybag that both expert reviewers from Brickset and JANG find genuinely impressive for how much detail was packed into its small footprint. The micro-scale LEGO Store diorama with its theme-branded shelves, articulated dragon Ollie, and pick-a-brick wall draws consistent praise, while the separately attached brick-built VIP card is seen by both reviewers as an awkward companion piece that does not integrate naturally. Owner sentiment is moderately positive with 6 ratings averaging 4.25 out of 5 and 88% recommending it, though the small sample limits confidence.

"So much has been crammed into a small space, which is quite an achievement. I really like the way that Ollie the dragon makes use of space outside the box."
