LEGO Ideas The Goonies Available Soon!

The big news today is the reveal of the upcoming #21363 LEGO Ideas The Goonies set. Read the details below and let’s discuss!

The LEGO Group, in partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products, today unveils the #21363 LEGO Ideas The Goonies set, a 2,912-piece diorama model that invites adult fans to relive the ultimate underground treasure hunt – in brick form.

To celebrate the launch, the LEGO Group has partnered with Oscar-winning actor Ke Huy Quan for a nostalgic mini-film tribute to the beloved 1980s classic. Revisiting his role as Data, the gadget mastermind, Ke Huy Quan guides viewers through the set’s booby traps and showcases hidden easter eggs, sharing personal memories from his iconic performance along the way. Fans can watch the mini-film and step back into the adventure here.

This collectible set features brick-built recreations of memorable scenes, from the Fratellis’ hideaway and caves, to One-Eyed Willy’s legendary treasure room. You can even flip the model to reveal the haunting wreckage of the Inferno pirate ship. Twelve key characters are represented as minifigures, including Mikey, Mouth, Chunk, Andy, and, of course, Data. Brand-new elements were designed for Sloth’s pirate hat and bandana, and Mama Fratelli’s hair and beret.

Ke Huy Quan comments: “Revisiting Data after all these years – but this time in LEGO form – has been such a joyful experience. The Goonies was all about heart, adventure, and friendship, and this set captures that spirit in fantastic detail. From the booby traps to the treasure room, it’s like stepping back into the tunnels with the gang – only now, I get to share that magic with a whole new generation of fans.”

Builders can drop boulders and activate trapdoors with the Copper Bones Skeleton Key and play the Skeleton Organ – just be careful not to hit the wrong note! The set is packed with nostalgic details for The Goonies fans, with props including Data’s utility belt and Mouth’s hairbrush. There is even a nod to the legendary deleted octopus scene, plus Sloth’s daring mast-slide onto the Inferno’s deck. Dimensions: 18cm in width, 62cm in length, and 36cm in height.

The LEGO Ideas The Goonies set was submitted by Greece-based 3D artist and fan designer, Vaggelis Ntezes (LEGO Ideas name: Delusion Brick), as part of the LEGO Ideas program. LEGO Ideas allows fans to submit product ideas, which are then voted for by the community before being considered to be made into an official LEGO set.

“In designing this set, I revisited my childhood memories – growing up in the 80s, playing with LEGO Pirates sets and watching The Goonies,” said Vaggelis Ntezes. “Combining nostalgia, fantasy, and creativity, I wanted to build something that offered both playability and display value. The final design merges the legendary Inferno with the cave system and booby traps, capturing the spirit of adventure that made the film so unforgettable. I’m thrilled to see it come to life and hope it brings joy to fans old and new.”

The LEGO Ideas The Goonies set will be available for LEGO Insiders starting from the 1st of November, and for all from the 4th of November. Prices are as follows: £269.99 / €299.99 / $329.99. For more information, visit the LEGO Ideas section of the Online LEGO Shop.

Additionally, shoppers who purchase the set between the 1st -7th of November will receive the #40773 LEGO Ideas The Goonies: The Walsh’ Attic as a gift with purchase, available while supplies last.

Fans can personalize their treasure-hunting crew at the LEGO Minifigure Factory in LEGO stores, with exclusive The Goonies-themed torsos available for a limited time.

It’s only October, but winter is just around the corner, and it’s time to start thinking about dusting off our LEGO Winter Village displays and maybe even adding some new modules. If you would like to enhance your display with something unique, consider this charming mechanical model by Jason Allemann. It features two minifigs enjoying a fun winter day skating at the sugar shack.

It’s a nice companion piece to Jason’s earlier Working Ski Hill model that we shared previously (see links at the end of this post), and would make a great addition to any LEGO Winter Village display. One of the minifigs skates in a circle, performing an occasional pirouette, while the other is roasting marshmallows on a fire. The flames of the fire also rotate, helping to bring the model to life.

Jason states that this model celebrates two of his favorite winter activities: ice skating and visiting a sugar shack. For those who may not be familiar, sugar shacks are small cabins where maple sap is boiled down into syrup. They’re also known for making a delicious treat by pouring the hot maple syrup onto snow, where it hardens into candy. You can spot this tasty treat displayed on the counter in the shack at the back of the scene. You can see a demonstration of the model in action in the video below.

Jason started working on this model a year ago and slowly refined it throughout the last winter season. Earlier this year, he submitted it to Series 7 of the BrickLink Designer Program, but it was ultimately passed over. Since then, he has made a few minor changes, mostly to optimize the part list, hoping to make it a bit easier for other people to collect the pieces needed to assemble it.

According to Jason, the mechanics aren’t too complex, but if you don’t have much experience building mechanical models, it might feel a bit daunting. As with any LEGO Technic model, you should make sure all axles and assemblies rotate smoothly as you are building them. Pushing bushings on too tightly can introduce excessive friction in the system, for example. Note that the entire mechanical system won’t fully function until the step of adding the crank. Once the crank is added, definitely test it to make sure the system is working smoothly.

You can read more assembly tips at Jason’s blog post: Sugar Shack Instructions at JKBrickWorks.com. A full building kit is available from BuildaMOC.com, or you can get just the instructions and parts list from Rebrickable.com.

I hope you find this model fun and may even add it to your own LEGO Winter Village! Feel free to share and discuss your own displays in the comment section below!
