LEGO Willy Wonka Chocolate Factory Set Released Worldwide

LEGO has released the 21360 Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory set, a 2,025-piece diorama-style kit based on the 1971 film starring Gene Wilder, now available early to LEGO Insiders with general sales starting September 18. The set features detailed elements such as a working chocolate waterfall, the Wonkatania boat, candy plants, and nine minifigures including Willy Wonka, Charlie Bucket, and Oompa Loompas, measuring 7.5 inches high, 20.5 inches wide, and 10 inches deep. Alongside the Willy Wonka set, LEGO is offering a complimentary 260-piece Sega Genesis controller set with purchases over $130, which can display as a classic controller or showcase a microscale Green Hill Zone scene with Sonic. This Sega Genesis gift-with-purchase is available through September 17 for LEGO Insiders in select regions, though it has sold out in Europe and the UK. The Willy Wonka set is part of LEGO's expanding nostalgia-themed lineup, with upcoming releases including Gremlins and a Pirates of the Caribbean pirate ship. Both the Willy Wonka set and Sega Genesis controller appeal to collectors and fans of classic films and gaming, blending pop culture with LEGO's intricate design.
