This colorful 598-piece Lego set brings to life the home of Carl Fredricksen, otherwise known as the most lovable grouch to appear in an animated movie. Minifigure Carl looks appropriately grumpy, while minifigure Russell is very happy, as to be expected from the intrepid Wilderness Explorer. You also get a Lego animal figure of the very good boy Doug.
It’s worth noting that the house itself isn’t fully enclosed. From the front, it looks impressively close to the Fredricksen home, matching the colors, window layout, porch design, roof pitch, and rooster weather vane. Naturally, it also has a colorful bundle of brick-built balloons.
The back of the house is unfinished, providing access to four different rooms, each of which has decorations pulled from the movie. You’ll find Carl’s old television, his record player, a replica of Carl and Ellie’s wedding picture, and the Paradise Falls glass jar the couple stored their vacation savings in. Yes, just like the movie, Lego’s Up House has small moments that could make adult builders a bit weepy.
As mentioned, you can bundle the Up House with the new Lego WALL-E set for $95. WALL-E and EVE is a $70 set, so you’re spending $25 to add the Up House.
