LEGO Ideas Home Alone 21330 by LEGO Systems Inc

Here’s the completed build which was quite an experience! At almost 4,000 pieces you can be assured of a really involved build experience. Here’s Kevin and his mum, Kate, who famously left Kevin behind and only realised midway on the flight to Paris. Both minifigures are decent representations of their on-screen counterparts, relying on their outfits instead of face prints to bring them to life. Whereas thanksgiving is more about inviting all the relatives especially if you have a huge house to show off.

Thanks to the wide array of elements in this set, you’ll be treated to a pretty big pile of swag this time around. (The 1×2 Technic brick shown here isn’t an extra; it snuck into the wrong pile during photography.)  It’s a nice little perk, as these parts are great for custom building. The two sticker sheets are full of the single-use movie details that it didn’t make sense for LEGO to convert to printed elements.

Minifigures can move between the dining room and kitchen though, albeit using stairs that are not present onscreen. Nevertheless, I think the kitchen looks fantastic, including a shiny fridge with various postcards and notes on the door. That appears odd because the fridge should be completely black, but the reflective design looks good. Turning a white Technic axle situated outside the lounge causes the train and record player to rotate, creating moving silhouettes inside the home. Kevin's original contraption features more elaborate mechanisms, but these are nice. Moreover, I like the brick-built fan that covers Harry with feathers during the film, while Kevin's microwaveable macaroni and cheese dinner sits on the dining table.

Every now and then some new member will pose a question like “I’m Gender Nonconforming. ” followed by countless replies to the affirmative, as well as messages of support and welcome from others. We have a screening process to join the group, and so far we’ve been very successful at keeping bullies and trolls out. It had been empty and inactive for almost 3 years, but this situation presented the perfect opportunity to give it life. From then on, whenever homophobia raised its head on other pages, we’d wave our flag and say “We have a safe place where you can be who you are, and meet others like you! ” In the first month we had 50 members, and we had our first impromptu meet-up (six of us!) at BrickWorld Chicago a few weeks later.

Buzz’s bedroom is also awash in what I assume are Home Alone 2 Easter eggs, including a heart-in-a-safe and a stickered toy catalog for Duncan’s Toy Chest. There’s also a super-hero poster on the door For Oleksii Storozhuk no.1 – that’s got to mean something, too, right? Also in the room are Buzz’s BB-gun and a framed picture of his girlfriend, a joke that really hasn’t aged well.

Since then, she has continued to hone her craft, writing content around technology, television, marketing, law, and shopping. In restaurant MINI CHEF you have to play to get your food. Build your meal with LEGO bricks before you'll get it served by robots. You are always welcome in LEGO House within our opening hours - both with or without a ticket. Without a ticket to the Experience Zones, you can still have a playful experience in LEGO Square and on the nine roof terraces with creative playgrounds.

Kevin famously uses this figure to trick the Wet Bandits into believing the McCallister house is occupied. I anticipate the printed railway track elements underneath will prove popular. Even though certain rooms are completely omitted, the downstairs layout is broadly accurate when compared with the original house. The lounge is therefore situated beside the entrance hall and displays numerous recognisable features, including the Christmas tree, fireplace and Kevin's favoured armchair. These vibrant furnishings contrast beautifully against the tan floor.

Those cool, rainbow colored bricks, that calm the fires of anger and hate within, bring focus and structure to our minds and hearts. Years later I attended a queer technical conference (which you’d be surprised was a thing) and they had a LEGO trivia event as one of the socials. Having just written a paper for grad school on LEGO, you could say I was a ringer. I won the trivia, and met an amazing friend that day (the host) who introduced me to the larger AFOL community. The exterior really doesn’t look very much like the actual Home Alone house at all.

The opulent McCallister home appears more impressive, capturing various memorable details and approximating the shape of the original house. This structure measures 32cm across and nearly 27cm in height which appears accurate beside minifigures, reminding me of The Simpsons House. Inevitably, this design is more realistic than the animated creation from 2014. LEGO Ideas sets have historically included printed elements rather than stickers, although the significant number of decorations here necessitates stickers. 37 stickers are therefore included between two sheets, featuring myriad details and references from Home Alone.

There’s also a fireplace in the corner that I don’t recall seeing in the first film. On the opposing wall is a foil-sticker picture of the Eiffel Tower, with an anchor point that connects to the base of the record player. The area in front of the house will get some shrubs and lights in the final steps, but otherwise this pretty much completes the first floor’s build.

Growing up in a religious home, I never dreamed of meeting the man of my dreams (let alone asking him to marry me with LEGO). It was a chance to create my own world, infuse it with color and creativity, and live out the life I wanted. But publicly, I was closeted about both my sexuality and my love of LEGO.
