This Tiny Lego ‘Goonies’ Set Makes the Big One Even Better

As glorious as Lego’s upcoming set based on The Goonies is, it’s actually better than you think. Here’s why. Last week, Lego revealed a massive new set based on the hit 1985 film. On the one side, it’s One-Eyed Willy’s ship from the end of the film. On the other side, multiple rooms capture stages of the adventure the characters go on throughout the story. It’s basically everything you love about The Goonies in one beautiful build. But, there are a few scenes missing, and it turns out Lego is bringing one extra room to life.

If you buy The Goonies set starting next month, it will come with a second set of the Walsh attic. What the heck is that? Well, the attic is where the whole adventure starts. The place where Mikey brings his friends to look at his dad’s collection of artifacts, and they discover the first clues of the adventure. It’s a small set, only 179 pieces, but it’s so nerdy and specific that we are almost more excited about it than the full thing. Here are some images before we geek out fully.

If you’re a fan of The Goonies, you probably have all the same feelings I do. Let’s start with the painting. That you can own, in Lego, the painting that Mouth sticks his tongue through is almost worth the cost of both sets. At least in my opinion. That has to be one of the funniest and best little Lego creations in forever.

And that’s only part of it. There’s the pirate hat they pass around. There’s the “laser beams” that Chunk plays with. Of course, there’s also the framed map that starts this whole thing. And we love the addition of the poster for the Lighthouse Diner. Which we don’t think is in the movie, especially since it promotes “Veal Scallopini,” a funny nod to the film. (And is oddly spelled wrong?)

Also, never in my wildest dreams did I think I needed mini-figs of Mr. and Mrs. Walsh, but now it’s all I want in the world. But no Rosalita? Come on.

Basically, this set is a dream for a Goonies fan. A must-buy even without the bigger set. But that it comes with it for free makes that bigger set even better. You can pre-order The Goonies Lego set (which comes with the attic set for a limited time) starting on November 1 for Lego VIPs and November 4 for everyone else.
