To keep your LEGO Create the World cards all in one place, you’ll need to pick up one of the Collectors Albums. These have space for all 140 cards. You’ll notice pages have spaces for each card, along with four corner slots. Each card needs to be placed in two of the slots, with the remaining two slots being used to place another card on the opposite page.

The collection includes two main card types standard character cards and shiny Create Cards. Character cards can be used to play a number of different cards. You’ll notice they features either a Rock, Paper & Scissor symbol on each card. Rock beats Scissor, Scissor Beats Paper and Paper Beats Rock. You can also play Dominoes, with the rules being found in the Collectors Album and using your swaps, why not play snap.

Create cards each feature a real world LEGO build, you can use your own bricks or various LEGO sets to create any of the builds featured on the cards. Simply visit service.LEGO.com and enter the number shown next to each Create card in the Collectors Album index. You’ll then be able to download instructions for the builds shown.

    • i got a fairy tale princess is it rare or bannana suit guy or sam or medusa

      • The Create! cards are a little rarer as they are only in certain packs. But these have been produced in the millions so not really worth anything at all, not in the same way as say a rare Pokémon card is

  2. How do you put a card in when one is already on the other side!?

    Post a Reply
    • You use the opposite two corners. So each card should only be place in two corners per side. See the front of the collectors album for more details

        • It just one of the cards, nothing too special apart from it being one of the Create The World main characters

        • It is legandary(the rarest you can get).

  3. The card numbers don’t seem to be right e.g. the surgeon holding an x-ray is 078 but would make more sense as 114 – or am I missing something?

    Post a Reply
    • Sorry, it all makes sense now!!

      Post a Reply
    • Same! I’ve removed the rock, paper, scissors ones but it still doesn’t make sense!

  4. How do you do the create cards on the website? Been on the site and it shows us how to buy the lego’s but not how to build

    Post a Reply
    • The Create builds are taken from various LEGO sets, type the set number listed next to each Create card in the collectors albums index, into the LEGO Service site listed above, which will show you which set the Create build is part of. You can then either purchase the set shown or download the instructions and build with your own bricks.

      • iv searched under the themes and entered the number on the card but I cant find the build instructions.

        Post a Reply
        • can you tell me how you found the build instructions please?

          Post a Reply
          • Type the number next to the Create cards in the index, into the LEGO website instructions will come up and the builds are part of these various instructions

          • Adam is golden Sam and Lilly rare cause I got two of both

          • A little rare I believe but not majorly sought after

  5. I opted out of receiving Lego cards on the Sainsburys grocery app. I can’t find how to opt to receive them now my grandson has asked for them – can you tell me how to opt back in?

    Post a Reply
    • Unfortunately as I’m not a user of the app, all I can suggest is that you contact Sainsbury’s directly. They can be reached via social media, via email or the Sainsbury’s website and via phone on 08003281700

  6. My boy got a pack of Lego cards from Sainsbury’s and there was only 2 cards in the pack not 4 like stated . I have a video as proof as when we felt the pack before opening noticed it did not feel the same as the rest of the packs we got.a Disappointed boy. Has anyone else had this happen to their children too ???

    Post a Reply
    • Kimberley Roberts I had something similar. I just emailed customer service. I said it was with 4 bought packs at a cost of £2, and they put £5 on my nectar card for my troubles.

      Post a Reply
      • I once got a pack of 5 cards

        Post a Reply
    • Yes the same happened to us and I then had 5 in the next packet we opened

      Post a Reply
    • Hi, we opened 8 packs today only to find three cards in each pack. So frustrating as my son only needs 8 cards to finish his album 🙁

      Post a Reply
    • I had 2 packs with only 1 card in.

  7. My boy only got 2 cards in a pack of Lego cards from Sainsbury’s. I have a video as noticed the difference to the other packs we have. I had a disappointed little boy and the pack stated clearly 4 cards . I am unable to upload the video. Anyone else’s child experienced the same disappointment??

  8. Why doesn’t the Sainsbury’s Petrol kiosk give away the Lego card(s) when I spend over £10 of petrol? Not fair.

    Post a Reply
  9. I have a few cards with the same number on but a different character/picture.

    Has anyone else come across this, am I missing something?

    Thank you

  10. When Sainsbury’s finish giving the cards out is there anyway we can buy the missing ones my 6’year old is missing 7 to fill his album?

    • No officially like you would with say football stickers you buy in shops. There are numerous trading groups on Facebook. That’s probably the best way to get the last few apart from using eBay

  11. We’ve filled the book what now? Any Lego prizes??

  12. Why didn’t staff at Sainsburys promote the booster cards, I’ve just spent a lot of money and effort to get a lot of packs through shopping for my grandson in Australia but now it seems without any booster cards it’s been a total waste of time as he won’t have a full set regardless of what I have to send him.

    Or am I missing something.

    as below details (from top of page)

    Completing The Collection: You’ll need to get a mixture of free cards and booster packs, as they contain different sort of cards.

    • I would assume eBay now, as the promotion ended in stores months ago, so they won’t have them anymore.
