No matter how old we get, most of us would probably still collect things from our favorite characters when we were kids. Some would call it healing our inner child, while others would simply say we now have the money to buy what we want compared to back then. Either way, there’s something undeniably joyful about it. Snoopy is probably one of the most beloved and enduring characters of all time, and if you’re a LEGO lover as well as a fan of this witty beagle, then you’d want to hold on to your roof.
LEGO is releasing a new build for Snoopy fans to celebrate over 75 years of the Peanuts legacy. LEGO Ideas Peanuts: Snoopy’s Doghouse is a 964-piece set that features the iconic dog and his legendary red doghouse. It’s not just a toy, as it’s meant for those who are 18 years old and above. Rather, it’s a display piece that brings together fun, nostalgia, and the unique joy that comes from building something featuring our all-time favorite character.
Designer: LEGO
What makes this set even more special is its origin story. It started as a fan submission on the LEGO Ideas platform, a space where LEGO enthusiasts submit their own brick creations, rally votes from the community, and if they’re lucky, see their dream set come to life. This one was designed by fan creator “bossofdos64,” and after earning enough votes from fellow fans, the LEGO Group worked their magic to make it a reality. So in a way, this set was made by a fan, for fans, and that’s something truly worth celebrating.
The doghouse itself stands over 10 inches high, 6.5 inches wide, and 5.5 inches deep, making it ideal as a statement piece on your shelf or desk. Aside from the iconic red doghouse that even casual fans would recognize anywhere, the set also comes with a posable Snoopy figure. It has two alternative leg builds so you can pose him sitting or standing, and two neck positions so he can be upright or lying down, fully ready for whatever mood strikes you.
A Snoopy scene wouldn’t be complete without Woodstock, his little yellow bird bestie of officially unknown species. The set also includes accessories like a typewriter to give Snoopy his classic writing moments, a campfire with marshmallows for a cozy toasting scene, and a grassy green base to anchor the whole display together. The interior walls of the doghouse can even be folded out to reveal a gorgeous starry night sky backdrop that really sets the mood.
With all these elements, you’ll be able to recreate some iconic scenes to make your Snoopy heart truly happy. You can display him lounging on top of the doghouse with Woodstock resting on his belly, living his best life and, honestly, inspiring us all. You can also pose Snoopy typing away at his little LEGO typewriter, working on that great novel we’re all still waiting for, or have the two besties toasting marshmallows together under a starry sky. The set offers enough variety that you might find yourself rearranging the display every season just because you can.
The LEGO Builder app gives you access to 3D instructions, whether you’re a first-timer or an experienced builder who wants to zoom in, rotate, and track their progress along the way. The set is priced at $89.99 USD, making it a thoughtful splurge or a perfect gift for any Peanuts lover in your life. You can pre-order the set now, and it will start shipping out this June.
Whether you’re building it for yourself or gifting it to someone whose eyes light up at the mere sight of a little black-and-white beagle, this set is a beautiful reminder that some things never get old. Snoopy has been napping on that rooftop, dreaming big, and making us smile for over 75 years, and clearly, he has absolutely no plans of stopping. Good grief, indeed.
