There are some childhood characters you outgrow. Thankfully, Wallace and Gromit aren't really among them.
If you grew up watching a man and his dog build a rocket out of spare parts to go to the moon for cheese, this one is going to hit you right in the childhood. The eccentric inventor and his wonderfully patient dog are coming to your home as a Lego set.

Lego Ideas Wallace & Gromit Building Set (#21371), $99.99 at Target
Target
The 1,038-piece Lego Ideas Wallace & Gromit Building Set recreates the iconic motorbike-and-sidecar scene with the kind of detail that will satisfy any fan of the franchise. Priced at $99.99, the set is designed for builder ages 18 and up and is available for pre-order with an expected release date of Oct. 1.
The set measures nine inches high, nine inches long, and seven inches wide, meaning it's a fairly large piece than can be displayed on a shelf. It's packed with plenty Easter eggs and the Wallace and Gromit figures can be arranged in different riding positions.
The small details make the set that much better. Gromit's goggles magnify his eyes, just like in the movie. And if you open the seat hatch on the motorbike, you will find a hidden diamond, a reference to the plot of A Close Shave . But I'll let you explore and find all the hidden Easter Eggs for yourself.

How Wallace and Gromit Became Huge in the 1990s
Wallace & Gromit first came to the big screen with A Grand Day Out , followed by The Wrong Trousers and A Close Shave , with the latter winning an Oscar for Best Animated Short Film at the 68th Academy Awards. The recognition helped the duo go from a British animation favorite into internationally recognizable characters.
Part of the character's appeal is their chemistry. Wallace is the enthusiastic inventor, whose ideas tended to create new problems. Gromit is his almost entirely silent dog, communicating with facial expressions and perfectly timed reactions. Their humor strikes the perfect middle ground. Children enjoyed the slapstick and strange inventions, while adults appreciated the dry jokes and visual details.
