The set is a part of the LEGO Ideas platform, enabling fans to submit their ideas for product sets for which they receive up to 1% of the royalties. 28-year-old Ukraine native, Alex Storozhuk, pitched the idea for the McCallister house. While the set pieces were designed by Antica Bracanov and Enrique Belmonte Beixer.
LEGO Home Alone house is the most massive set to come out of the Ideas platform to date. The set will also come with five mini-figures, a treehouse, and the iconic burglar's van, amongst other included items.
