The 1971 classic film, Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory, continues to captivate audiences with its unforgettable scenes and stunning setpieces, enduring beautifully through the decades. Now, Lego Insiders have a fantastic opportunity to bring a brick-built rendition of this magical world to life! The brand-new Lego Ideas: Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory Set, a remarkable 2,025-piece creation, is available for early preorder for members of the free Lego Insiders program. This highly anticipated set, priced at $220, officially launches on September 18 at the Lego online store. Given its expected popularity, joining the Lego Insiders program is highly recommended to secure your set before it sells out.
This impressive 2,025-brick set allows you to recreate a tiny, interactive slice of Willy Wonka’s factory. Imagine a moving chocolate waterfall and a secret door within Willy Wonka’s office! The set also comes complete with nine beloved minifigures: Willy Wonka, Charlie Bucket, Grandpa Joe, Augustus Gloop, Mike Teavee, two Oompa Loompas, Veruca Salt, and Violet Beauregarde.
Once assembled, this magnificent model spans over 20 inches wide and 10 inches deep, making it a substantial display piece. While primarily targeted at adult collectors, its array of detailed minifigures ensures that children can also enjoy imaginative play, bringing their favorite scenes to life.
If you’re not yet a Lego Insider, now’s the perfect time to join this free rewards program! Members accumulate points on every purchase, which can then be redeemed for discounts and exclusive offers.
