Good news for fans of classic 80s cinema! LEGO has pulled back the curtain on a brand-new set inspired by the beloved 1985 film, ‘The Goonies.’ This incredible creation, known as LEGO Ideas The Goonies, is a substantial 2,912-piece set that brings the movie’s magic to life with 12 detailed minifigures.
Prepare to explore both sides of this remarkable build: one showcases the iconic Inferno pirate ship, while the other recreates unforgettable scenes and locations directly from the film. Imagine discovering the Fratellis’ hideaway, navigating the perilous caves, and finally reaching One-Eyed Willy’s treasure room, all faithfully equipped with the infamous booby traps and hidden Easter eggs you remember from the screen.
This fantastic set will be available for $329.99, with early access beginning November 1 for LEGO Insiders. Everyone else can grab their set starting November 4.
As an added bonus, if you purchase this set between November 1 and 7, you’ll also receive LEGO Ideas The Goonies: The Walsh’s Attic (set 40733) as a special Gift With Purchase! This smaller, 179-piece set meticulously re-creates the room where the kids first stumble upon the legendary treasure map. It’s an exclusive item, not sold separately, and available only for this limited one-week window or while supplies last. So, if you’re keen on securing this extra piece of Goonies lore, becoming a LEGO Insider for early access is a smart move!

This incredible set originated from the imaginative LEGO Ideas program, where passionate fans submit their own designs. If a submission garners 10,000 community votes, LEGO considers it for an official release. This particular Goonies adventure was brought to life by Greece-based 3D artist Vaggelis Ntezes, known as ‘Delusion Brick’ on LEGO Ideas.
It’s truly a fantastic time to be a LEGO enthusiast with a soft spot for the 80s. Recent releases have also included a charming Gizmo set inspired by Gremlins and a cool Soundwave set from Transformers, offering even more ways to connect with your favorite childhood classics.
