LEGO Ideas Wallace & Gromit

A Close Shave Rolls Into LEGO Form

LEGO Ideas Wallace & Gromit recreates the duo's retro motorbike and sidecar from the Oscar-winning short A Close Shave. Wallace takes the handlebars while Gromit rides beside him, turning one of Aardman's most recognizable chase vehicles into a 1,038-piece display model.

Give the Bike a Push and Watch It Move

The finished pair can be posed in different ways, and the motorbike's wheels turn when the model is pushed. That bit of motion suits characters whose inventions and escapes rarely stay still for long. It also keeps the set from feeling like a fixed statue despite its adult-focused 18+ label.

Crackers, Wool, and a Hidden Diamond

Small accessories do much of the storytelling. The build includes Wallace's beloved crackers, a ball of wool, and a diamond tucked inside the motorbike seat hatch, all references that reward fans who know the film. The expressive brick-built faces carry the personality, especially Gromit's ability to look deeply concerned without saying a word.

A Fan Design Wins the Grand Prize

Set 21371 began as the winning smaller-build entry in the LEGO Ideas '90s Throwback: The Next Chapter challenge. That route from fan concept to official set feels especially right for a series built around homemade contraptions and patient craftsmanship. Priced at $99.99, it is available to preorder ahead of its October 1 release.
