A major story of 2021 is how well LEGO have innovated minifigure designs (see Queer Eye), but Kevin and Kate McCallister are pretty basic. I do like Kate’s brown power suit, with the large shirt collars that just scream late 80s and early 90s fashion. Most of the stickers are fairly easy to apply and small, with the exception of the OH-KAY plumbing van ones, which you’ll need deft hands to align. Measure website performance and ensure correct website behaviors for visitors, including retention of user settings and preferences. Marv, as we’ve noted already, has probably the wildest dual-expression head LEGO has ever produced. The “smushed by an iron” look is so iconic, though, that I suspect graphic designer Kirsten Bay Nielsen probably didn’t have too much trouble getting it past management.

Alone doesn’t try to teach you how to feel, at least in most of the rooms. Most of the discomfort is self-generated, which means it’s harder to shake. I know that my friends love me for me and would never comment on the state of my house or say anything to hurt my feelings. They're here to see me and my family so we can catch up and have a nice time together.

Spring Animal Playground ​ ​

ALONE is a site-specific, immersive and artistic exploration of fear, loneliness and self preservation. It’s a thirty minute walkthrough experience which you may only enter alone, and where you become a willing victim to your own inner demons. Borrowing the structure of a typical haunted house, but ditching the blood, guts and psychotic clowns with chainsaws, ALONE explores the deepest regions of the bizarre, and places you as a participant in your own nightmare. So I've decided that the next time my friends come over, they'll be greeted with a "Hello" followed by a "Come in, it's great to see you". We'll step over the Lego, cars and trains, leave the kids to go wild, and just enjoy being together.

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. The LEGO Group’s mission is to inspire and develop the builders of tomorrow through the power of play. The LEGO System in Play, with its foundation in LEGO bricks, allows children and fans to build and rebuild anything they can imagine. 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.

The record player turntable works well, although it’s spaced a bit too far back from the windows to really be seen when the outer walls are closed. As noted earlier, the extra rooms aren’t really movie-accurate in positioning, but they don’t feel out of place. Having them as a removable sub-building also means you can display your set in a shallower area, if you store this bit somewhere else.

If you don’t fall in the above categories, this is a good set, just not great. Little things like the lack of arm printing, and no alternate face for Harry just feel like wasted opportunities. In going too large (too squeeze as much in), the LEGO McCallister House creates an awkward conundrum – integrating it into your LEGO displays. Its comically large dimensions, especially when placed alongside Winter Village or even Modulars necessitates that you display it as a standalone model, to truly allow it to shine.

Here’s a look at the upper level of the house, with Buzz’s room on the right, a large and spacious hallway, and Kevins’ parents bedroom on the left, complete with ensuite bathroom. Speaking of which, here’s a look at the entrance, which has a lovely arch and pillars above the front door, with the McCallister “M” welcome mat. Here’s a look at the back which has the extension out the back, for the kitchen and basement.

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. 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.

Sure, it looks like a horror film as Kevin’s demonic visage is warped by the sticker, but at least LEGO didn’t make me deal with a mostly naked Kevin minifigure made just for this scene, too. The kitchen set is compressed a bit, but still contains all they key elements, plus a few. The blowtorch trap by the door is present, as is the TV/VCR combo playing “Angels With Filthy Souls”. Kevin’s imaginary foe of the basement furnace gets a lot of love, too. The build here is suitably menacing, with a light-brick providing a hellish glow when the top grate/mouth is pushed down.

This is where the kitchen/basement sub-building will connect much later on. It’s standard practice for LEGO to often include an extra copy of pieces that are likely to go missing during construction. 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. The first sheet has a plethora of family portraits, a great meta-LEGO joke (more on that in a bit), and other key details like a string of firecrackers and a bowl of mac-n-cheese.

And trying to keep the house neat and tidy all of the time just feels like a bit of a waste of my time anyway. The LEGO Group has revealed their fan-designed set based on the house from Home Alone just in time for the holidays. If you’re a massive Home Alone fan, and want to reignite your sense of nostalgia for the quintessential family-friendly 90s Christmas movie, you will love every bit of this set. Later on, Kevin has mocked up a holiday party to confuse the Wet Bandits.

I turned and was immediately face-to-face with a life-size ET doll. And I cannot tell you why, but in that moment I felt the entire bottom of my stomach drop away, and I screamed. Anyway, to my surprise, it turns out not everything exists to be conquered. Colder weather can put a LEGO lover in a brick-clicking mood, thanks to all of the events, conventions, and gifting holidays that pop up around this time of year. 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. Home Alone is best as a family movie, and similarly, this set is best appreciated by kids and children, who will appreciate the numerous play opportunities, rooms, and furniture.

Later, Kevin drags his sled indoors for a bit of downhill action.
