Oh, Gromit! The beloved animated duo is coming as a LEGO Ideas set, and this October release has now been officially unveiled. We\u2019ve got all the images and info on the Wallace & Gromit motorcycle, and we\u2019ll tell you how much dough you\u2019ll need for the pair.<\/p>\n

The eccentric inventor and his loyal dog will be available in LEGO form starting October 1, as the two claymation characters go on sale for an RRP of $99.99 \/ \u00a389.99 \/ \u20ac99.99 at LEGO.com<\/a>. LEGO 21371 Wallace & Gromit will then be available exclusively at LEGO for at least three months before possibly making its way to other retailers.<\/p>\n

General Info on the Wallace & Gromit Set<\/p>\n

Since their first appearance back in 1989 in the short film \u201cA Grand Day Out,\u201d the two claymation figures Wallace & Gromit haven\u2019t just become a piece of British cultural heritage\u2014they\u2019re known worldwide thanks to their distinctive stop-motion style and humor. Starting October 1, 2026, they\u2019ll receive a new honor in Denmark: the title of \u201cLEGO Ideas set.\u201d As part of the LEGO Ideas 90s Nostalgia Challenge, the unusual duo came out on top alongside the LEGO X-Files set<\/a> thanks to their large fan base. The 1,038 pieces recreate not only the inventor and his loyal dog, but also the red motorcycle with sidecar that serves as the pair\u2019s ride in various films. The RRP is $99.99 \/ \u00a389.99 \/ \u20ac99.99, which works out to a price per piece of 9.6 cents.<\/p>\n

For the LEGO set, Wallace & Gromit have been built at a larger scale so their distinctive aesthetic and visual features could be captured. Unlike many of today\u2019s digitally animated films, Aardman Animations still relies on stop-motion, or claymation, where films are painstakingly created from thousands of individually built scenes. The behind-the-scenes video<\/a> for the latest feature film offers a fascinating look at the immense effort and attention to detail of Nick Park and his team.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll recognize the inventor Wallace by his unusually wide grin, his big nose, and his overalls. His arms and legs use the large 3\u00d73 macaroni elements, which are now appearing for the first time in white and sand blue.<\/p>\n

Peeking out of the sidecar next to him is Gromit, a beagle and the smarter of the two. His flying goggles were created using magnifying lenses, and his ears are dark brown fish fins.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019d like to check out Wallace & Gromit\u2019s adventures today, you\u2019ll find the four short films \u201cA Grand Day Out,\u201d \u201cThe Wrong Trousers,\u201d \u201cA Close Shave,\u201d and \u201cA Matter of Loaf and Death\u201d as a miniseries, along with the two feature films \u201cThe Curse of the Were-Rabbit\u201d (2005) and \u201cVengeance Most Fowl\u201d (2024). The series \u201cShaun the Sheep\u201d also comes from Aardman Animations, having grown from a sheep in the \u201cA Close Shave\u201d short film into its own standalone production. But even though the dog Bitzer and the farmer look similar to Wallace and Gromit, they\u2019re their own separate characters.<\/p>\n

Official Images<\/p>\n

You can take a closer look at the LEGO Wallace & Gromit set in these images, which show the motorcycle from various angles. Here you can see that the spoked rims from the LEGO Ford Model T<\/a> have been fitted in light gray for the first time, and the fenders are built using red windshields.<\/p>\n

\"LEGO<\/a> \"LEGO<\/a><\/p>\n

However, it seems the figures can\u2019t be displayed independently of the motorcycle, since Wallace\u2019s seated position is designed to fit the motorcycle, and Gromit is presumably missing his legs. The motorcycle<\/p>\n

Hidden in the storage compartment of the red ride are crackers, a ball of yarn, and a diamond\u2014nods to various moments in the films. But here you can also see that not all the details are printed; the crackers, the speedometer, and the \u201cWAL1\u201d lettering are stickers.<\/p>\n

Comparison with the Original<\/p>\n

Wallace & Gromit live in a house full of quirky inventions that help with things like getting up, getting dressed, and buttering toast. For the LEGO set, however, the red motorcycle with sidecar was chosen, which also appears in many of the short films and features. It was already on the poster for \u201cA Close Shave,\u201d but it can also be spotted in the latest film \u201cWallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl,\u201d where it was modified.<\/p>\n

\nComparison with the LEGO Ideas Submission<\/p>\n

The choice of the red motorcycle had already been made by fan designer Pidelium, who submitted the Wallace & Gromit set design to the 90s LEGO Ideas Challenge and collected the most votes there. The set came out on top in the \u201cSets with under 1,000 pieces\u201d category, though the official version ended up breaking through that mark after all. The size of the characters, and thus the building techniques used, have remained quite similar, however.<\/p>\n

\nConclusion<\/p>\n

Nick Park and Aardman Animations\u2019 attention to detail has paid off, and their two prot\u00e9g\u00e9s Wallace & Gromit get to enjoy a LEGO rendition. Alongside the many Disney figures that often flood the lineup, these claymation characters make for a welcome change of pace\u2014and personally, I associate them with plenty of childhood memories. Both the offbeat inventor and his loyal canine companion have been captured nicely, and going forward they can share the shelf with LEGO Snoopy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

How do you like the new LEGO Ideas set for Wallace & Gromit? Are you a fan of the films and excited about the claymation characters in LEGO brick form? Can you picture adding the motorcycle to your collection and displaying it alongside other animated characters?
