Wallace & Gromit Get the LEGO Ideas Treatment

LEGO has revealed 21371, a 1,038-piece LEGO Ideas set built around Wallace & Gromit, the claymation duo from Aardman’s Oscar-winning shorts and features. It was picked as the Grand Prize winner of the “LEGO Ideas ’90s Throwback – The Next Chapter” community challenge, and it lands on shelves October 1, 2026 for $99.99 / £89.99 / €99.99.

Why It Matters for Dads

This is a LEGO Ideas set in the truest sense: a fan pitch, voted through by the community, that LEGO then built out properly. The set includes buildable figures of both Wallace and Gromit, plus the retro motorbike and sidecar lifted straight from A Close Shave — down to small touches like a ball of wool, a stack of crackers, and a diamond hidden in the sidecar’s seat hatch. If your household grew up on Aardman’s stop-motion work the way a lot of us did, this is exactly the kind of set that belongs on a shelf rather than in a toy box.

It’s also worth being clear about who this is for. At 18+, this isn’t a build to hand a 7-year-old on a rainy Saturday — it’s a display piece, closer in spirit to LEGO’s other Ideas sets for grown builders than to a Duplo bin. If that’s the kind of LEGO your house already collects, our best LEGO sets for adult nerds guide rounds up where this slots in alongside the rest of the 18+ shelf.

What’s Next

Pre-orders aren’t confirmed as live yet — LEGO typically opens them a few weeks ahead of a set’s street date, so expect a listing on LEGO.com before the October 1 release. We’ll update this piece with a direct link the moment ordering opens, and we’ll build a full review once the set is in hand.

The Dadnology Take

A community-voted Wallace & Gromit set is exactly what LEGO Ideas exists for — niche enough that a mainstream theme would never greenlight it, specific enough that the people who wanted it will love the detail work. At $99.99 for over a thousand pieces and two genuinely charming character builds, this is a pre-order the moment it goes live for anyone who still quotes Gromit’s expressions instead of his lines.

When does the LEGO Wallace & Gromit set (21371) release?

October 1, 2026, via LEGO.com, LEGO stores and select retailers.

How much does LEGO Ideas 21371 Wallace & Gromit cost?

$99.99 in the US, £89.99 in the UK and €99.99 in the Eurozone, for 1,038 pieces.

Is the LEGO Wallace & Gromit set good for kids?

No — it’s rated 18+, the standard for LEGO Ideas display sets. It’s a shelf piece for the adult fan in the house, not a toy to hand a child.
