The Lego Christmas Story House is the perfect marriage of a decorative conversation piece, holiday collector's item, and modular Lego play set. It will appeal to Lego fans, movie fans, and holiday fans alike. You can take it out each year with your Christmas village or display it year round. As a modular set, it is a fully functional toy for children from 1 to 92... Okay, there are some small pieces in there, so let's say... Note that this set also includes a brick that will light up the leg lamp! Turn it on, and it will glow side by side with your other Christmas village pieces. Along with the house itself, the set includes the complete Parker minifigure family with one bonus Randy, two bonus Ralphies, and the Bumpus Hounds!
The Old Man Parker (complete with smile and surprised faces) Mother Parker (complete with smile and worried faces) BONUS: "Can't Put My Arms Down" Randy BONUS: "Pink Nightmare" Ralphie BONUS: "Bumpus Hounds" (Dada duh dut duhda) The Lego Christmas Story House also features many other subtle details in each room including these highlights: The Leg Lamp (it actually lights up!) Desk (for hiding the present) The Little Orphan Annie decoder pin (a crummy commercial?) Fireplace with stocking and wreaths Cellar door (to the furnace) Damper control (for the furnace) Door under the sink Turkey on the table (turkey legs can be removed) Ralphie and Randy's Room Desk to write the Christmas Theme (C+?) Red Ryder sales pitch Lifebuoy soap next to the sink Toilet (where a boy, age 9, can sit and decode) Switch for the leg lamp light - see pictures for how it works The "Fragile" (Fra-jee-lay) crate and hand truck
Sled on the porch Snow on the roof and on the ground Watch the movie again and see if you can find all of the Christmas presents included in this set: Red Ryder BB gun (too easy) Blue Ball (Thanks a lot) A can of Simonize Frankenstein Mask (ever noticed that one?) The actual house used in the movie, A Christmas Story, is located in Cleveland, Ohio and is currently run as a museum (worth a visit). However, most of the indoor scenes were shot in a studio, so this set combines the layout of the "real" house with the footage from the movie, within the scale of the Lego world. Please review all of the photos, and give the project a "thumbs up". When you ultimately get the set as a holiday gift for you favorite Lego and/or Christmas Story fan, you can truly say that you had a hand in making the Lego Christmas Story House possible.

Christmas season is well and truly open in adland. We’ve had the online premiere of the John Lewis Christmas ad, heralding an avalanche of retailers’ festive commercials breaking on TV this weekend. Jostling for viewers’ attention amid the fake snow and baubles during X Factor ad breaks on Saturday will be Sky Movies’ Christmas promo, “Step into the Adventure”, from agency WCRS.
The jaunty effort features a family of Sky Movies viewers encountering Kermit, Statler and Waldorf and other assorted Muppets, Spidey, The Lego Movie’s Emmet and Frozen’s Olaf. The Lego Movie premieres on Sky Movies on Christmas Eve and Frozen the following day, since you ask. If it’s The Great Escape you’re after, Monkey suggests perusing the Channel 5 listings. Unlike Steve “the Cooler King” McQueen, it’s free. Sky Movies’ Christmas adhristmas wouldn't be the same without a good movie binge in the company of a selection box. Here's our our pick of the best movies to watch over the festive break. CHRISTMAS EVE, SATURDAY DECEMBER 24 The Lego Movie, 18.15 RTÉ One If you only see one animated film this festive period, make it The Lego Movie. It's clever, funny, charming and moving all rolled into one, and makes for essential viewing. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (11.25 RTÉ 2) The first instalment of the Harry Potter franchise stars Daniel Radcliffe as the titular wizard as he begins his magical education at Hogwarts.
It impressed audiences for faithfully bringing the characters to life, and could be the perfect bit of escapism you need on Christmas Day. Muppets Most Wanted 13.30 RTÉ One For genuinely lough out-loud moments and tonnes of feel-good factor, Muppets Most Wanted is your only man. The musical comedy features a hilarious performance by Ricky Gervais as baddie Dominic Badguy (see what they did there?!) who scams the muppets into taking part in a heist while they are touring in Europe. Yes the songs might drive you insane, but the kids love this recent Disney animation which tells the story of a fearless princess who sets off on an epic journey to find her estranged sister. Altogether now "Let it gooooo.....".About as perfect as a film can be. Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman light up the screen in this 1942 classic which rightly considered one of the greatest films ever made. If you haven't seen it, get on it, if you have, you've probably already marked this in your RTÉ Guide for a re-watch.
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory 19.00 3e For many people Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is THE Christmas must-watch. It's a flawless adaptation of Roald Dahl's novel which sees the sadly departed Gene Wilder in the titular role. It's incredibly inventive, funny, compelling and also, at times, quite dark and unsettling. ST STEPHEN'S DAY, MONDAY DECEMBER 26 For 80s kids, the nostagia levels are off the charts for this one. Tom Hanks stars as a young boy who is granted his wish to become an adult overnight. It's worth watching for the foot-operated electronic piano scene alone! Back to the Future 13.55 RTÉ One Another 80s hit that never fails to impress and just demands repeat viewing at Christmas. Michael J Fox stars as Marty McFly who is accidentally sent back in time with eccentric scientist Doc (Christopher Lloyd) and then has to make sure his parents still meet and fall in love. This ebullient and funny adaptation of Roddy Doyle's book is a cult favourite, and rightly so.
It follows Jimmy Rabbitte, a young music fanatic living in the Northside of Dublin who assembles a group of musicians to form a soul band. This is stuffed to the gills with good tunes and great energy. Will Smith's sci-fi comedy is as funny now as it was back when it was released in 1997. Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones stars as two top-secret agents whose job it is to supervise aliens living on earth and hiding their existence from humans. It's sharp, witty and a slickly done story that never fails to please. This is possibly Daniel Craig's best Bond outing and has plenty of moments of breath-holding brilliance that will keep you on the edge of your seats throughout. Definitely one to set a reminder for. The Fugitive 00.35 RTÉ One This is still one of the best action-thrillers out there. Harrison Ford stars as a doctor who is wrongfully accused of murdering his wife and must go on the run to find the real killer and clear his name. Wes Anderson's first animated film is perfect fare for adults and kids alike, which makes it most excellent Christmas viewing.
It has an all star voice cast, including George Clooney as the titular character, Meryl Streep, Bill Murray, Willem Dafoe, Owen Wilson and Michael Gambon. A 90s crime comedy which sees Arnold Schwarzenegger play a no-nonsense, hard as nails cop who must masquarade as a kindergarten teacher in order to catch a violent drug dealer. The Queen of Ireland 22.15 RTÉ 2 This five-star documentary follows Rory O'Neill's journey from Ballinrobe to Tokyo and back again as he and his glamorous alter ego bring the campaign the Marriage Equality Referendum to national and worldwide attention. It's a moving and compelling story about a national f**king treasure, brilliantly told by director Conor Horgan. Veteran director Ken Loach returns to Ireland to tell the true story of radical and free thinker Jimmy Gralton in a stirring tale enlivened by humour and music. It's a moving film that has a universal ring of truth about it. The Full Monty 00.15 RTÉ One This utterly charming 90s comedy-drama combines broad humour with believable, well-drawn characters, as well delving into some serious social issues.
