Will it be third time lucky for a LEGO Ideas Grinch set?
The latest LEGO Ideas 10K club member is a well-timed festive set – but one that feels like we might have seen something similar before…
Designed by Mric76, The GRINCH’s House follows a tried and tested tradition of having a Grinch-themed build gain 10,000 supporters at this time of year. January in both 2022 and 2023 saw LegoFan_506’s Dr. Seuss and LEGO (featuring the Grinch) and BenBuilds’ Dr. Seuss’s The Grinch join the 10K club and now there’s a third version of the ant-Christmas character.
The fan-designer project is made up of roughly 1,489 bricks and three minifigures, including the Grinch, the Grinch Santa Claus, and Cindy Lou. The Grinch’s house is packed full of various easter eggs from the movie, such as the heart scanner, the spring bed, the musical monkey, and many more.
There are various sections to the main building, split across three main parts. The first level features the telescope to spot intruders, followed by the entrance door as well as the secret trap door that leads to the exterior of the cave, and finally the third floor with the Grinch’s room and the kitchen. Thes final two rooms are connected by a working elevator.
