If you’ve ever dreamed about finding pirate treasure in underground caves or sliding down secret passages to escape the bad guys, you’re about to lose your mind over what LEGO just dropped. And with Halloween just around the corner, the timing couldn’t be more perfect for The Goonies set (21363), a 2,912-piece tribute to skeletons, pirates, and underground adventures that practically screams spooky season.
Here’s the thing that gets me about this release. It’s not just a model you build and stick on a shelf. This is a full-blown tribute to one of the most beloved adventure movies ever made, with actual thought put into recreating those iconic moments that blend adventure with just the right amount of creepy. We’re talking about the Fratelli hideout (basically a haunted house for criminals), the terrifying boulder trap, skeleton-filled caves, and yes, One-Eyed Willy’s legendary pirate ship, the Inferno, complete with sails, treasure, and plenty of bones.
Designer: LEGO
What really makes this set special are the minifigures. All twelve of them. You get the whole gang: Mikey, Mouth, Data, Chunk, Brand, Andy, and Stef, plus Sloth in his Superman shirt, Mama Fratelli, Francis, Jake, and even One-Eyed Willy’s skeleton. Speaking of which, how perfect is it to have an actual skeleton pirate minifigure just in time for Halloween? LEGO actually created brand new elements specifically for this set, like Sloth’s pirate hat and Mama Fratelli’s hair and beret combo, which shows you the level of detail they’re committed to.
The build itself is pure genius in how it captures the movie’s spooky underground energy. One side shows the Inferno in all its glory with full sails, looking exactly like the moment when the Goonies discover it in that eerie cavern. Flip it around, and you’ve got an interactive play area with all the booby traps and secret passages that could easily double as Halloween decorations. There’s the skeleton organ where if you hit the wrong note, your minifigure falls through the floor (talk about a Halloween party trick). There’s a trap door for Data to avoid, and even a slide to the octopus from a deleted scene that superfans will totally appreciate.
At $329.99, this is definitely an investment piece. But you’re getting nearly 3,000 pieces and enough spooky detail to keep you discovering new Easter eggs every time you look at it. Think truffle shuffle references, the treasure map that started it all, and little callbacks scattered throughout the build. The underground cave aesthetic with its dark corners and hidden dangers fits perfectly with Halloween vibes, making it an ideal conversation piece for your seasonal decor.
Now here’s where it gets even better. If you’re quick and grab this set between November 1st and 7th, you’ll also score a free gift with purchase: The Walshes’ Attic set (40773). This 179-piece bonus includes minifigures of Mikey’s parents, Irving and Irene Walsh, plus a brick-built recreation of that cluttered, slightly creepy attic where the whole adventure began. You know, the scene with the dusty suit of armor, random nautical stuff everywhere, cobwebs implied, and that fateful moment when the kids discovered the treasure map behind a painting? It’s the perfect companion piece that sets up the entire story and adds another layer of atmospheric Halloween fun to your display.
What I love most about this release is how it captures that perfect blend of adventure and spookiness that makes The Goonies such a timeless film. Based on a fan submission by Delusion Brick, it shows that LEGO is actually listening to what fans want. This is the 10th and final LEGO Ideas set of 2025, and honestly, what a way to close out the year, especially launching right at the beginning of November when Halloween decorations are still fresh in everyone’s minds.
The set launches November 1st for LEGO Insiders members, with general availability starting November 4th. And yeah, it’s going to look incredible displayed on your shelf, whether you keep it up year-round or bring it out as part of your Halloween rotation. Part of the charm is in all the interactive elements: sending Sloth sliding down the mast, activating the boulder trap, playing with the skeleton organ. These aren’t just static display pieces meant to gather dust.
For anyone who grew up in the 80s or simply loves adventure movies with heart and a hint of danger, this is more than a LEGO set. It’s a trip back to that feeling of infinite possibility, of exploring dark caves with nothing but a flashlight and your courage, of believing that treasure maps really do lead somewhere magical. Goonies never say die, and clearly, neither does our love for pirates, skeletons, and Halloween adventures.
