Two special commemorative Lego sets were released for the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics. Not actually "LEGO™" brand but the completely compatible Oxford blocks (made in Korea). They were available for a short time at the official Pyeongchang Olympics online store, and apparently from select Lotte Department Stores and Outlets. But not surprisingly they sold out quickly.
Here are a some pictures of the sets. One is a "Gift Truck" set, which folds open to reveal lots of cute pieces for "sale" and the other is a model of the official store.
The photos here really don't do justice to just how many pieces are in these sets. Most of the little "merchandise" in the store/truck are actual block parts themselves; not just stickers. Adorable!
A blogger managed to snag a set each before they sold out. As you can see, the prices were very reasonable. 38,000 won is about $35.
Those are much better prices than they are being hawked for on eBay:
The pictures of the sets came from the following blog post, where you can see more photos of the sets:

I searched the official store, but I couldn't find the listings for these blocks anywhere. Maybe they were removed. They seem to have been here.
But you can still buy an official Pyeongchang Olympics fidget spinner! (Edit: sold out!)
Here is a photo of both sets from someone's Instagram too:
And if you really want to get a sense of these sets (400 pieces!), here's a nice unboxing/assembly video:
And finally, if you need even more cuteness, check out my other post with various other Korean block sets:
