The LEGO<\/a> Group has launched a new competition in conjunction with the reveal of 21330 Home Alone<\/a>, offering the chance to win a copy of the latest LEGO<\/a> Ideas<\/a> set by finding Kevin McCallister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an effort to \u2018celebrate Kevins across the globe\u2019, the LEGO<\/a> Group has commissioned research into the popularity of the name Kevin \u2013 in partnership with Baby Names 2022 author Eleanor Turner \u2013 which has revealed that while it was a popular choice for boys in 1982, when the Home Alone character was born, it\u2019s since dropped down the naming charts in the UK and worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new contest is therefore designed to \u2018get the name trending again\u2019, for reasons that can only be described as tenuous, as the LEGO<\/a> Group has hidden Kevin McCallister minifigures from 21330 Home Alone<\/a> both online and in-store. From November 1 to 30, you\u2019ll be able to get involved by finding the hidden Kevin minifigure at LEGO.com<\/a> or in LEGO<\/a> Stores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you\u2019ve found it, you\u2019ll then be directed to the competition page by clicking on a link or scanning a QR code, where you can enter to win a copy of 21330 Home Alone<\/a> and a $1,000 LEGO<\/a> voucher. There\u2019s no word on how many prizes are up for grabs, but the campaign release indicates there will be \u2018several chances\u2019 to win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGiven the popularity of the name Kevin in the 1950s and 1960s and latterly the 1980s when Kevin McCallister would have been born, you\u2019d be forgiven for wondering \u2018where are all the Kevins?\u2019\u201d said Eleanor Turner. \u201cThough the data suggests the name has had its heyday, there are still plenty of reasons to celebrate the name, and to join the LEGO<\/a> Group\u2019s global search in honour of one of history\u2019s most-loved Kevins.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, there\u2019s one more way to win if you\u2019re based in one of five cities around the world, as the LEGO<\/a> Group has installed life-sized statues of the Kevin McCallister minifigure near LEGO<\/a> Stores in Chicago, New York, Brussels, Berlin and Paris. Each statue is emblazoned with a QR code that will take you to a webpage with activities and games (and, presumably, entry to the competition).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe LEGO<\/a> Ideas<\/a> Home Alone House is one of our most exciting launches yet, and of course Kevin McCallister is the true hero of the story,\u201d said LEGO<\/a> Ideas<\/a>\u2019 Head of Global Marketing, Federico Begher. \u201cAlex\u2019s original design immediately struck a chord with us and we just knew we had to make it a reality. Home Alone has always united families and friends<\/a> for the festive season, and we look forward to bringing people home together to build this new set.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
