lego ideas 40773 the goonies the wlashes attic gwp review 3

Today we take a quick look at the contents of the LEGO IDEAS set 40773 The Goonies: The Walshes' Attic, a small box of 179 pieces which will be offered on the official online store for the purchase of the LEGO IDEAS set 21363 The Goonies (€299,99) from November 1, 2025.

This small promotional product is once again intended as a DLC for the main product whose launch it will accompany, but unlike other sets of the same type such as the LEGO Star Wars reference 40771 TIE Fighter with Imperial Rack difficult to separate from the set 75419 Ultimate Collector Series Death Star, this box offers a completely independent construction from the set that will allow you to obtain it. This attic is in fact not designed to be integrated into the diorama nestled within the hull of the Inferno and it will therefore have to be displayed separately.

Nothing crazy here, with a well-executed and relatively detailed micro-attic, a few nods to the film in the form of trinkets to fill the place as well as the figurines of Irving and Irene Walsh. This mini diorama is part of the desire to unfold all the storytelling of the film through the two products concerned, we will be able to "replay" the scene of the discovery of One-Eyed Willy's treasure map.

This little box at least has the merit of allowing you to obtain a pretty Tile pad-printed with the name of the film, which will potentially adorn a home display to showcase the 14 minifigs obtained in total. There are also more stickers here than in the set 21363 The Goonies with six stickers for the attic versus four for the ship.

We're not going to blame LEGO for trying to motivate the first buyers of its products by offering them something attractive; these customers pay a high price for their boxes, so it's important to take care of them. This promotional product will allow them to obtain a nice complement to the main diorama, two additional characters, and a few accessories that are always worth taking.

It will always be possible to skip this offer and not regret the absence of this attic on your shelves, this small set is to be reserved for unconditional fans who will make the effort to pay the big box at its public price upon its launch rather than waiting for the predictable clearance of this niche product which is aimed at a nostalgic adult audience at a reduced price in a few months.

Note: The product shown here, provided by LEGO, is as usual involved. Deadline fixed at 13th November 2025 at 23:59 p.m. Simply post a comment below the article to participate.

Update : The winner was drawn and notified by email, his nickname is indicated below.

Today we'll take a quick look at the contents of the LEGO IDEAS set. 21363 The Goonies, a box of 2912 pieces which will be available on the official online store as an Insiders preview from November 1, 2025 at a public price of €299,99. This is not the first foray of the license at LEGO, in 2017 the defunct LEGO Dimensions concept allowed us to obtain a Sinok figurine and two associated micro-constructions in the Level Pack 71267 The Goonies (29.99 €).

If you've been following along, you'll already know that this product from the LEGO IDEAS range is an interpretation by the brand's designers of the winning idea from a competition held last year on the LEGO IDEAS platform.

Like many of you, I took advantage of the product announcement to rediscover the initial proposal submitted at the time by fan designer Vaggelis Ntezes (Delusion Brick), and the conclusion is clear to me: we are moving from a creation that deserved to become an exhibition product for adult fans of the film released in theaters in 1985 to a construction that is at best on par with what the most accomplished sets in the Creator range offer.

The LEGO grinder has struck again, and in the process, we lose the atmosphere and finish of the reference proposition. The product's retail price, however, remains as high-end as ever, requiring you to pay €300 to buy this diorama, which cleverly combines several scenes from the film by packaging them in the hull of the ship. The brilliant initial idea remains, but it has ultimately been handled with an obvious concern for economy and a creative bias that is, to say the least, questionable.

Upon arrival, we get a playset for adults somewhat in the spirit of the LEGO Indiana Jones set. 77015 Temple of the Golden Idol, with a succession of aligned scenes all equipped with more or less anecdotal features: a trapdoor that opens to make Data fall, two rocks that fall by pushing a lever, the organ that releases coins, the slide, etc.

Why not, LEGO is a toy manufacturer and so you have to be able to have a little fun with the model to build here and The Goonies is an adventure film which gives pride of place to action scenes which it was obviously wise to pay homage to.

What disappoints me a little here is that I have the impression that LEGO has sacrificed the finishing of each of the spaces installed in the hull of the ship to make them primarily playable sections at the expense of their exhibition potential. The whole thing lacks coherence and continuity, which was nevertheless the case in the original proposal.

I preferred the uniformity of the reference creation in terms of the rock, which frames the different caves with a nice overall atmosphere, whereas the mix of colors used here adds confusion to the whole. Where the rock was initially only a decorative element and allowed us to really focus on the content without visual distraction, the structure here becomes, in my opinion, much too messy to really highlight the content of each setting.

As for the hull of the 62 cm long ship visible on the other side of the diorama, it is also at the best of the Creator level with a simplification of the overall form and a minimalist aesthetic. This very amateur side stands out all the more when compared with the very successful LEGO ICONS set 10365 Captain Jack Sparrow's Pirate Ship is inevitable.

As a bonus, the hull is far too "clean" for the context it refers to, and the two vines at the rear don't save the day. The ship also lacks a rudder, though it's unclear why.

It's hard to blame the designer of this LEGO IDEAS product, though; this build will most often be displayed with the scenes clearly visible. I would have liked an additional sail to be completely in line with the ship seen on screen, but it must be admitted that the LEGO version of the Inferno is quite faithful, particularly with the central tear in the mainsail caused on screen by the descent of Sinok and Choco.

It's worth noting that this set isn't full of stickers; there are only four stickers to apply to the build, and everything else is pad-printed. However, the instructions, which are split into two booklets, sometimes seem a bit confusing, as if LEGO hadn't taken the necessary care in their development.

The minifigure offering is substantial here with 12 characters, but LEGO didn't really have a choice when it came to handling the subject properly. Some will prefer the version of Sinok delivered in the LEGO Dimensions Level Pack with its extension to place on a classic head, which then allowed for a very faithful version of the character. LEGO could have taken advantage of this new opportunity to provide us with this element again and let fans choose between the hat or the growth.

Otherwise, it's a pair of neutral legs for everyone except Andrea Carmichael (Andy) and Brandon Walsh (Brand) but with very nicely tampo-tapped torsos and faces.

The graphic designer in charge of the file did a really good job here with successful facial expressions and fairly faithful outfits. Special mention for One-Eyed Willy's torso which is magnificent.

The least successful face seems to me to be that of Richard Wang (Data), played on screen by the Vietnamese actor Ke Huy Quan, LEGO giving him round eyes and refraining from emphasizing his origins with the color of his head. It's probably the times that dictate that.

LEGO does not provide a display stand to display the 12 characters, you will have to display them on the ship or make your own stand, for example by reusing the size provided in the promotional set. 40773 The Goonies: The Walshes' Attic which will accompany the launch of this box from November 1, 2025.

LEGO Pirate & Gangster Collectible Toys, Building Figures for Kids, Creative HOTH BRICKS Design, Storytelling Decor, Unique Gifts.

This product leaves me a little hungry, with the feeling of having to pay €300 for a luxury playset and not getting a real exhibition product with impeccable finish. This box floats between two waters without really choosing its side and it is the overall finish that suffers the consequences.

Making this model playable was essential to make it a truly beautiful tribute to the Richard Donner film that filled the afternoons of many 80s children during school holidays, but there was undoubtedly a better balance to be respected to preserve the model aspect of the thing.

This will be without me, even if I watched the film several times when I was younger, this good visual entertainment does not, in my opinion, deserve to spend 300 € on a very bulky playset. There are licenses that cross the eras and accompany us over the years but The Goonies is ultimately only a children's film that is 40 years old and when it comes to making choices for budgetary reasons, this box is not at the top of my list.

I wouldn't have said no to a more symbolic and compact product at €50 or €60, I'm not ready to spend €300 on a product derived from a Christmas film, however cult it may be for some fans.
