Review: 40773 The Goonies: The Walshes' Attic GwP

Set 40773 The Goonies: The Walshes' Attic will be available as a Gift with Purchase (GwP) from 1 to 7 November 2025 with purchases of LEGO® Ideas set 21363 The Goonies, while stocks last. I have already reviewed set 21363 The Goonies but the GwP is an interesting little addition to the main set. Let's head to the attic!

Review: 21363 The Goonies from LEGO® Ideas

Set 21363 The Goonies originated from a challenge on the LEGO® Ideas platform to recreate some iconic 1980s memories in LEGO form.

With 12 minifigures included, there's a perfect number for a whole team (well, at least a women's lacrosse team).  The characters and the fun, swashbuckling escapade storyline made The Goonies a cult classic, so let's see what the set has to offer.

Review: 21362 Mineral Collection from LEGO® Ideas

Available from tomorrow, Wednesday 1 October 2025, set 21362 Mineral Collection is the 70th LEGO® Ideas set to hit the shelves! The idea was submitted by Dario Del Frate (user ddf72). His proposal was quite a bit larger than the official model, but I think the designer has done a good job in retaining the spirit of the original submission while bringing the smaller version to fruition. Let's take a closer look at the interesting elements and see how the rocks are put together.

Review: 21361 Gremlins – Gizmo from LEGO® Ideas

LEGO® Ideas set 21361 Gremlins: Gizmo originates from a contest on that platform, and I'm happy seeing a LEGO Ideas set that's not in minifigure scale. But is this little Mogwai a companion worth all the strict rules, and the threat of Gremlins infestation?

Parts & minifigures review: 21360 Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory from LEGO® Ideas

The latest set to be announced from LEGO® Ideas is 21360 Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. The set is based on the 1971 movie of the same name, via the original LEGO Ideas submission from 2PPL.

We will examine the LEGO Wonka build process and play features in the next article, but first there are some fun new minifigures, recolours and printed elements to drool over. So let's go where nobody ever goes in... and nobody ever comes out.

Review: 21359 Italian Riviera from LEGO® Ideas

The 67th set in the LEGO® Ideas line, 21359 Italian Riviera is a refined version of the project originally proposed by Alex Sahli. On the surface the set may look similar to the original submission, but numerous modifications have been made in order to bring the set to market. Join us today as we take a closer look at these changes and the elements in the set, with extra insight from the design team!

Review: 21358 Minifigure Vending Machine from LEGO® Ideas

A little under four years ago, Rob Vangansewinkel submitted his Minifigure Prize Machine to LEGO® Ideas. The wonderful concept took a little while to reach the 10K votes required to be considered, but was announced as a future product in June 2023.

In late May 2024 fans were unexpectedly asked to vote on a colour for a new Classic Space astronaut and a Castle faction, to be included in the Vending Machine. So it has felt like quite the wait since the hype started – not only to discover what minifigures would actually be included but also how closely this product would resemble the submitted project. From the publicity images alone, here is a set that looks like it has been worth the wait – so let's delve deeper.

Review: 21357 Disney Pixar Luxo Jr. from LEGO® Ideas

1986 was a historic year.  The world was rocked by some tragedies; the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded shortly after launch and the Chernobyl disaster remains the worst nuclear accident in the history of nuclear power generation. On a lighter note, the disposable camera was invented by Fujifilm, and the animated short film Luxo Jr. was produced and released by Pixar Animation Studios.

The next LEGO® Ideas set to be released is 21357 Disney Pixar Luxo Jr., a LEGO version of the baby lamp and ball featured in the short film, which remains a icon of the company today.

Designer interview: LEGO® Ideas 21356 River Steamboat

At LEGO® Fan Media Days in Denmark in September 2024, I was lucky enough to meet some of the design team behind the biggest LEGO® Ideas set to date.

Design Lead Jordan David Scott and Product Designer Marina Stampoli talked me through the absolutely massive LEGO Ideas set 21356 River Steamboat, which comes in at 16" (40cm) x 28" (69cm), contains over 4000 pieces and weighs 3 kilograms. "I did some exercise," says Marina as she lifts the model.

Review: 21354 Twilight The Cullen House from LEGO® Ideas

Stephenie Meyer started her writing career by breaking the mould, not realizing publishers expect shorter teenage novels than the author's debut manuscript. That didn't stop the voracious hordes of 2000s teen readers; once they had a taste of blood they wanted more of Twilight's supernatural love triangle. Five books, five movies, and twenty years later, the fandom lives on like some kind of immortal vampire, prompting fans around the world to support the LEGO® Ideas 21354 Twilight The Cullen House into production.

Review: 21355 The Evolution of STEM from LEGO® Ideas

It's time to hit the books with LEGO® Ideas newest set, 21355 The Evolution of STEM, based on an Ideas submission from fan designer Daniel Bradley who kindly lent us some insight into the set.

 

The Evolution of STEM celebrates science, math and history with a collection of mini models bursting from the pages of a brick-built encyclopaedia. Without further ado let's book it to the new elements!

Review: 21350 Jaws from LEGO® Ideas

Growing up near many of the Massachusetts shooting locations for 1975's Jaws, my interest was understandably piqued when The LEGO Group announced development of a set based on the film. Now, just a year-and-a-half after that announcement, I'm excited to examine the final set and the parts it contains. Fortunately, almost all of these elements are now available for purchase via the LEGO® Pick a Brick service, if desired in quantity.
