It’s fun to note that while all three bed builds all feature pulled back covers, each has a slightly different building style. The OH-KAY Plumbing & Heating truck is a reasonably faithful reproduction of the movie van, although it lacks any doors on the sides. The logos are sticker-based, which, as you can see, I can never quite align perfectly. The van has a removable roof rack with pipes, an opening rear door, and a bench-seat built for two. There’s also a removable box of golden loot (a trophy and a kitchen faucet) to add a bit of story value.
The ultimate LEGO® experience
This suffers from the same basic flaw as the modulars - unsightly stripes of tiles and plates on the outside walls. No, there are no tan and black stripes on the building in the movie. Or do you think colour coding is needed for the 18+ builders? Yes a few more parts may be required to avoid this but for a set of this size that really shouldn't be a problem, especially as the final product would look so much better if the walls were uniformly coloured. It's a red brick house in real life, so medium nougat or dark orange would've looked much nicer. Especially with the snow-covered (rather than dark blue) roof, it's just not that interesting to look at.

Kevin can zipline to his backyard treehouse to foil the robbers. Battle the crooks with a bevy of booby traps around the house. The LEGO Group was founded in Billund, Denmark in 1932 by Ole Kirk Kristiansen, its name derived from the two Danish words LEg GOdt, which mean “Play Well”.
Family Reunion Celebration
Inside the box, the 31 numbered parts bags cover 24 steps. The bags are split into two groups, with steps 1-11 and the instructions packaged in a separate white box. The remaining bags are packed loose, creating a suitably chaotic unboxing experience. The grouping does help to split up the large quantity of part bags included in the set, and the secondary box helps keep the instructions from getting too banged up in transit. I feel really lucky to have so many LGBTQ+ LEGO friends around the world too via twitter and Instagram that are so supportive in the LEGO community.

These trans-clear bricks look outstanding, forming splendid glazed panels, while the porch light also originates from the onscreen location. The original submission included approximately 3000 pieces, hence I expected its scale would be reduced for production. However, the model now includes 3955 elements and looks absolutely spectacular, displaying extensive detail and potentially appealing beyond Home Alone fans, given the excellence of this substantial house. A simple removable roof completes this building add-on.
The second floor
If you love the Home Alone movies, and appreciate all things 90s nostalgia, or want to introduce your young kids to Home Alone, and give them a satisfyingly large playset for Christmas, I highly recommend the set. As an adult, though, unless you’re a die-hard Home Alone fan, the utility of the set is somewhat limited. With the walls open, it gives you a great view of the detailed interior and rooms.
But all good things must come to an end, and it’s time for Kevin to take a zip-line to freedom. He can’t really hold on well to the handlebars here, but his frightened face does work very well to capture the moment. The last in-home trap I wanted to mention is the swinging paint can. This is probably the least successful of the recreations, but at least we get a purple 2×2 round brick out of the deal. ” take on an alternate reality where Marley is indeed a serial killer and Kevin has a much rougher couple of days.
Each character is recognisable, although these details draw attention to the omission of Buzz and Peter McCallister as minifigures. I think they should definitely have been provided, given their prominence during the original films. The attractive porch and staircase around the entrance look superb, although their proportions have been adjusted when compared with the film. Nevertheless, the white columns and curved roof are perfect, surrounding the elaborate front door.
Various layouts were reportedly considered, but including removable walls or altering the orientation of the bedroom was impossible for structural reasons. Nevertheless, the interior looks superb and incorporates an impressive bed, with dramatic bedposts at each corner and fairly accurate colours. However, pressing down on the Technic components behind the grille opens the furnace and activates a light brick inside.
Sturmer says it's important to remember that we have no control over what people think of us. But for many of us it becomes a learned behavior to be self-critical and to offer apologies for trivial things. "Instead, I'd suggest noticing what it feels like when the urge to apologize comes over us and thinking about how it would feel to find a different way of coping and of reassuring ourselves," Sturmer said. Society still expects women, and mothers in particular, to be able to have it all and do it all. Many of us are juggling careers, childcare, responsibilities in the home, and much, much more. Our inner critics might be concerned that friends and family will perceive an untidy home as a sign that we've dropped the ball and are struggling to cope.
@CapnRex101 great review, I agree about medium legs on harry not being the best idea. Am I right in thinking Lego hasn't used Leg hight to differentiate adults before rather than age (with the exception of Warwick Davis)? I can remember it being suggested in the Big Bang ideas project but Lego went with all normal legs. But I've got friends who are massive Home Alone fans who'll love this reguardless. I'll get this and consider it a modular with some licensed minifigs.3-in-1 occasionally does houses but we've never gotten one as a modular. There are just so many large, expensive Lego sets that one has to be picky.
As a play set it might be fun, but way far from being $350 worth of fun, and as AFOL looking for a display set it's not as high quality as other sets. The iron is constructed using five pieces, but remains immediately recognisable. The washing machine and tumble dryer also look impressive, although I dislike the sticker portraying Marv's sock. Unfortunately, the basement is inaccessible from inside the house, feeling detached from the larger structure. I think the designer could have included two short staircases to access the kitchen and basement levels. The kitchen and basement are attached to the primary structure using Technic pins and axles.
