LEGO Ideas Home Alone (21330) Officially Announced!

It’s here, the news we’ve all been waiting for, the official LEGO Ideas Home Alone (21330) announcement!

LEGO has officially revealed and announced the next big LEGO Ideas set to be released, and its based on a Christmas classic, Home Alone.

The original idea was submitted by Alex Storozhuk and has gained a substantial amount of parts since and I just say it looks absolutely stunning.

The set will consist of a whopping 3,957 pieces, making it the largest ever LEGO Ideas set to date. The release date is 1st November and it will retail for £229.99 (€249.99/$249.99). 

The Home Alone McCallister House boasts a ton of Easter Eggs from the original movie, including many of the pranks Kevin plays on the two crooks, the Wet Bandits!

A nice selection of Minifigures are also included and consist of:

• Kevin
• Kate (Mum)
• Harry & Marv (Wet Bandits)
• Marley (neighbour).

Another great feature is the ability to swing open the front façade and allow access too all of the interiors, which are in themselves a mini vignette and perfect for recreating all the iconic scenes from the movie.

It’s also a complete modular which means your can remove each floor and ultimately find a place within a LEGO Cityscape, fitting incredibly well with other LEGO Creator sets in the range.

Please read through the official press release and the extra images, and let us know in the comments below what you think of this set.

LEGO IDEAS HOME ALONE HOUSE PRODUCT PRESS RELEASE

The LEGO Group reveals fan-designed set based on the house from the all-time festive classic movie, Home Alone

21st OCTOBER 2021: The LEGO Group has revealed the new LEGO® Ideas Home Alone set, an incredibly detailed recreation of the McCallister family residence from the much-loved Home Alone movie, where mayhem ensued as Kevin was left to his own devices and the bumbling burglars Harry and Marv descended.

Now in brick form for the first time, the LEGO Ideas Home Alone set is based on a design submitted to the LEGO Ideas platform by 28-year-old Alex Storozhuk from Ukraine. At an impressive 3,957 pieces, it is also the largest set created from a LEGO Ideas concept.

The LEGO Ideas Home Alone set is instantly recognisable, perfectly capturing the grand McCallister family home, and is also packed with features that tell the story of Kevin’s holiday antics. As well as the exterior, the interior layoutis true to the movie and includes the ground and first floor, kitchen, basement and attic. A new opening mechanism opens up the house for full enjoyment; the walls separate in the middle to open sideways and fully reveal the interior, while the roof also opens upwards. In addition, the set comes complete with the main characters of the movie in LEGO minifigure form, including; Kevin, robbers Harry and Marv, the old man Marley – and Kevin’s mum Kate.

Every room is packed with details from the movie, such as the after-shave lotion from “The Scream” bathroom scene, Buzz’s pet tarantula, the robbers’ van, the paint cans used to knock them down, and the treehouse with zipline. Other features include the fireplace, Christmas tree, a toy train, grandfather clock, dining table and record player.

As the festive season draws in, the LEGO Ideas Home Alone set is designed to provide the ultimate holiday at home together and a unique building experience. Split into an Advent Calendar-like 24 build bags, you can build the iconic house in sequence with the movie, starting with meeting the robbers and their van and ending with Kevin’s reunion with his mum, Kate.

Talking about his inspiration for the set, the LEGO fan designer Alex Storozhuk, commented: “Just like every 90s kid, I grew up watching Home Alone and it takes a very special place in my heart. I can’t even imagine holidays without it. This movie is very nostalgic and makes those warm childhood memories come up every time.”

Taking Alex’s original design and creating the final set was the job of Antica Bracanov, LEGO Designer. Talking about the task, Antica commented: “Bringing Alex’s Home Alone house to life has been brilliant fun. He’d thought about every aspect, from the layout of the rooms to the use of colour and of course the details from the movie to make it instantly recognisable.

“Following the themes of the film, we wanted to make the experience as immersive as possible for fans of LEGO building and the movie. The step-by-step build which mirrors the movie, and the ability to open up the set and see insidelends itself well to hours of joyful focus this holiday season – just add a festive backdrop and a certain Christmas movie!”

The LEGO Ideas Home Alone set is available from LEGO.com/Home-Alone and LEGO Stores from 1st November, 2021 at the recommended retail price of €249.99 / $249.99 / £249.99.
