I don't think anyone could have imagined a set like this, but here we are! LEGO announced their latest set LEGO Home Alone McCallister Family. This iconic Illinois house echoes memories of "We slept in!," and "You're sleeping in the attic." .... "With me." When I was a kid, Home Alone was the ultimate revenge film against the bad guys.

Now that I am a parent, I can understand the fear of Kate McCallister, and her determination to take a plane and then hitch a ride with a polka band during a snow storm to get back to her son. The McCallister family is just full of kids, and I find it oddly relatable to actually overlook a child being present. All in all, the film Home Alone is iconic and sewn in the fabric of my childhood and the childhood of many other '80s and '90s kids; it is totally worthy to be in LEGO brick form.

The LEGO® Ideas Home Alone set was designed by Ukraine-based LEGO fan Alex Storozhuk. In addition to the house, the set includes a LEGO minifigure version of the Home Alone icon, Kevin McCallister plus four other minifigure characters from the movie: small town crooks Harry and Marv, Kevin's mom Kate and the creepy old neighbor/hero, Marley. 

The set includes several distinct rooms noting key features from the film that all fans will love! Enjoy multiple levels of play and payback where Kevin's booby traps span from basement to even the attic! At an impressive 3,957 pieces, the LEGO Ideas Home Alone set now sits as the largest ever LEGO Ideas set.  

The LEGO Ideas Home Alone set is available from LEGO.com/HomeAlone  and LEGO Stores  from 1^st November, 2021 at the recommended retail price of €249.99 / $249.99 / £249.99.

Hardcore Home Alone fans will appreciate the easter eggs from the film hidden in the set. Also included is Harry and Marv's van, and the treehouse fashioned with a zipline. Each LEGO Minifigure also includes important accessories and sports their animated facial expressions. 

What surprises will you find in this set?

Easter eggs from the film are littered throughout the set. 

You get a glimpse of Home Alone 2: Lost in New York with the New York travel guide sticking to the refrigerator. 

Remnants of Kevin's meals -- a macaroni and cheese box left in the kitchen, a pizza box, and even mile high ice cream sundae. 

You will even find all of the details of Kevin's payback to bumbling burglars Harry and Marv -- including Marv's blowtorch to the head, Marv's iron to the face (imprint on his LEGO minifigure face), Harry's tar and feathering, and more! 

Each room depicts key scenes from Kevin's adventure as a little kid home alone from his first shave (aftershave included), and even a mega bowl of a towering ice cream sundae!
