in LEGO Exclusives

The LEGO Group and Pixar have collaborated to unveil the first-ever brick-built #21357 LEGO Ideas Luxo Jr. collectible model, which will be available from June 1st. Synonymous with classic Pixar movies and heralding from 1986, when Luxo Jr. first appeared in a short Pixar film, fans will be able to recreate Luxo Jr.’s signature bouncing, hopping, and rotating movements in bricks for the very first time.

Paying tribute to the creativity of Pixar movies, the buildable display model is fully articulated and includes a buildable Pixar ball, which nostalgic fans can display with Luxo Jr. standing on it as if squashing it, inspired by the 1986 short Pixar film, Luxo Jr. Additionally, the Pixar ball opens up to reveal hidden easter eggs inspired by popular Disney and Pixar movies including Up, The Incredibles, Ratatouille, Monsters, Inc. Toy Story, and Finding Nemo – a real treat for all Pixar movie-lovers.

This LEGO Ideas set is the ultimate tribute to Pixar and is an ideal gift for adult fans and those who love collecting movie memorabilia. The 613-piece poseable set makes an eye-catching display and offers fans a new way to show their love for the iconic lamp that has captured hearts for nearly 40 years. The model measures over 11 in. (29 cm) high, 5 in. (14cm) wide, and 4 in. (11 cm) long.

The new LEGO set was designed by London-based LEGO fan Toby Brett as part of the LEGO Ideas program. Once designed, 10,000 people voted for it to be made into a real set. The clever, playful design was a crowd favorite among the LEGO Ideas community, making it a popular choice.

Regarding his design, Toby said, “I’m a huge fan of all the Pixar films, which were a big part of my childhood, and Luxo Jr. is the mascot that perfectly sums up my love for these movies. I spent a lot of time looking at photos of Luxo Jr. to make my model as screen-accurate and recognisable as possible.”

The #21357 LEGO Ideas Pixar Luxo Jr. collectible brick-built display model is available for pre-order from today, the 8th of May, and to purchase from the 1st of June from LEGO stores and from select leading retailers around the world. Prices are as follows: Price: 69.99 EUR / GBP 59.99 / 69.99 USD. For more information and to pre-order the set, visit the LEGO Ideas section of the Online LEGO Shop.
