LEGO has officially unveiled one of the most anticipated sets of 2026, 21371 Wallace & Gromit<\/a>, based on Aardman\u2019s beloved claymation characters! <\/p>\n

This 1,038-piece model lets you build a stunningly realistic model of Wallace, Gromit and their signature red motorbike that\u2019s the perfect way to commemorate Aardman\u2019s 50th anniversary. <\/p>\n

21371 Wallace & Gromit<\/a> will be the 10th LEGO Ideas set released in 2026, and will be launching globally on 1 October 2026 with pre-orders open now! You\u2019ll be able to find it from LEGO.com or your local LEGO Store. <\/p>\n

The set is based on the winning model<\/a> of the\u00a090s Throwback \u2013 The Next Chapter!\u202f\u00a0challenge<\/a>,\u00a0by Pidelium<\/a>, and I have to say, the LEGO Ideas team have done a remarkable job of staying incredibly faithful to his submission, but adding a lot of polish and fun flourishes to enhance the overall design. <\/p>\n

For one thing, both Wallace and Gromit look super expressive, and the LEGO Ideas model also successfully mimics Aardman\u2019s iconic claymation aesthetic with softer curves across all the characters. <\/p>\n

The plasticine that Aardman uses for their stop-motion animations translates pretty well as an analogue to LEGO, which is a super versatile (and playful) medium that you can make near-anything out of, making this collaboration between Aardman and The LEGO Group one that just works so well together. <\/p>\n

Gromit in particular looks fantastic, and I love that they retained the use of the LEGO magnifying glasses for his goggles, and also incorporated his flappy ears into the model. <\/p>\n

I think that LEGO have knocked 21371 Wallace & Gromit<\/a> out of the park. The model looks phenomenal, it\u2019s priced very decently at US$100 \/ AU$150 \/ \u00a390 and if you\u2019re a fan of Wallace & Gromit, you\u2019ll know just how difficult it is to find high quality official merchandise, so this is going to be a fantastic gift or addition to your LEGO collection if you grew up watching Wallace & Gromit. <\/p>\n

21371 Wallace & Gromit<\/a> will be released on 1 October 2026, and will be available from LEGO.com or your local LEGO store. <\/p>\n

What do you think of the LEGO Wallace and Gromit model?<\/p>\n
