I can understand LEGO not wanting to devote moulding resources into a large bird that will solely be used for this set, but I really would’ve liked to have seen a brick-built version at the very least at the set does feel quite incomplete without Kevin. It is quite a small-ish build, and narrow, but I think the size does work well for this being a compact display model. Perfect if you don’t have tons of display surface area, or want a cool desk LEGO build to remind you of your favourite Pixar movie.
‘Up’ House
She and Hamilton won the Collier Prize for State Government Accountability in 2023. Redeluxe’s owners built a 3,800-square-foot home overlooking a lake last year outside Dallas, property records show, and are expecting their first child. In a recent gender-reveal video, the couple opened an Hermès box and pulled out a pink Birkin. The Los Angeles County district attorney’s office charged Sunceri with 53 counts of receiving stolen property, conspiracy and money laundering. The woman from the Palisades had never bought a used bag, but she clicked on the Redeluxe site and scrolled through an enormous inventory of used Birkins. In September, an LAPD detective asked the Palisades burglary victim to look at images of bags taken from the phones of a new group of burglary suspects.

If you have LEGO news, new images or something else to tell us about, send us a message. I'm looking forward to seeing the MOC versions made using two or there copies of this set. IMO, however, Carl Fredricksen absolutely required either a Muppets-like head mold OR a bulbous nose on a Minifigure head, like we’ve seen on Pinocchio. It would be nice if it were bigger, but it's also nice that it's more affordable, and they did pack a lof of details in there. A box behind the television contains Ellie's scrapbook, entitled My Adventure Book. The cover is decorated with an accurate sticker and I expected to find another inside, but the standard 'once upon a time' 1x2 tile is used instead.
Combo Bouncers
The Rams unveiled the lavish mansion where they will run their draft with features that include a game room, lounge, pool and covered bar. The incident occurred shortly after a full jury of 12 people and six alternates had been seated in Trump’s hush money case, the first criminal trial of a former U.S. president. The flames continued to burn for a few minutes before a New York police officer ran toward Azzarello with a fire extinguisher. Four officers suffered minor injuries putting out the flames. Maddrey said people used coats and fire extinguishers to help quell the flames. On Friday, Azzarello joined other protesters, Trump supporters and media who have been stationed in Collect Pond Park outside the downtown Manhattan courthouse as Trump’s “hush money” trial gets underway.
The investigators got a judge’s permission to install a GPS tracker on the SUV. It is a pipeline that effectively transfers bags from the closets of the extremely rich to those of the merely very well-off. But months later, she was shocked to find it for sale on a sleek website catering to other women who prize such handbags. They made everything very easy from booking to delivery to pick up.

Build your own creations, watch them come to life and race with LEGO vehicles to see which is the best. This is a tough set to recommend, because the value isn’t here for US$59.99, but if you’re a massive Disney and Up fan, it’s likely that you’ve already decided to buy this set, as it’s been long on everyone’s wishlist. And another nice surprise on one of the windowsills is the savings jar that Carl and Ellie put money into, to save for their dream trip to Paradise falls. It’s really sweet to see all these portraits, as they are accurate to the movie, but also convey just how much Ellie meant to Carl. The addition of the ceramic red bird/chicken is also a nice nod to the movies.
Considering what you get for your money, that’s a very fair price. Three sloped roof sections complete the look of the Fredricksens’ home, although despite being hinged, they don’t open. This feels like a bit of a missed opportunity for ‘Up’ House, as the lack of access to the interior first floor can be a little tricky, often requiring said roof sections to be removed in their entirety and then reattached. In fact space is used wisely in ‘Up’ House, as each room is packed with details and bursting with nods to the original film.
Review: 43217 'Up' House
Text messages she shared showed an LAPD detective informing her of apparently fruitless attempts to recover the bag. The company paid her $121,245 between February and June of last year, according to bank records obtained by police and cited in a search warrant. LAPD detectives tailed Sunceri’s Lexus to the parking lot of a Smart & Final Extra! Store in North Hills last fall, where they say she met half a dozen times with different individuals carrying packages. These auxiliary purchases are nicknamed “Birkin bait,” and some customers believe they must buy a certain amount annually to be considered for a bag, according to interviews with owners and experts and online discussions on how to acquire Hermès bags. Birkin bait estimates start at about $20,000 and range north.

And it’s that lighthearted homebuilding scene that has been recreated in digital Lego bricks. Converting characters from Pixar movies into minifigures has sometimes proven challenging, as their proportions are often unusual. Carl Fredricksen works perfectly though, especially with his wide head, which is suitable for a minifigure! This character's distinctive glasses, huge eyebrows and perpetually grumpy expression look fantastic, with a friendlier design as the alternative.
The fact is that for its price point, piece count, exclusive minifigures and sheer joy to build, ‘Up’ House is an outstanding LEGO Disney model and deserves a place in every fan’s collection. Their site promised payment to sellers within 48 hours and bought a stunning array of used Birkins. Among them were so-called horseshoe stamps, ultra-rare bags that the most elite level of customers — a sort of VIP room within the VIP room — are permitted to design. Delivery of these bespoke bags can take up to three years, according to the auction house Christie’s, which sold a custom matte-yellow alligator-skin Birkin for more than $93,000 last year. Redeluxe was born in 2019, when a cash-strapped pastor’s wife in Amarillo, Texas, wanted to treat herself to something nice. Georgia Swain pulled a small Louis Vuitton purse from the back of her closet and sold it online for enough to buy a new handbag.
The new combined hat and hair element looks excellent, while dual-moulded arms and triple-moulded legs are also integrated to great effect. Additionally, the torso is adorned with a variety of Wilderness Explorer badges, although one is noticeably missing, for assisting the elderly. Another very welcome dual-moulded element in ‘Up’ House is Dug the dog. The talking canine looks exactly like he does in the animated movie, complete with collar and ‘I love you’ look on his furry face.
There’s a letterbox which is a poignant element from the film, but it’s plain, which is slightly disappointing, as I think a sticker with their handprints here would’ve made for a beautiful reference to the movie. From LEGO Minifigures to Brickheadz, there’s something for everyone, but high on every LEGO Disney fan’s priority list are a selection of minifigure-scale sets releasing in April 2023, with Up House being one of the standout sets. Looks fantastic and the price is a genuine surprise, I expected this to be 70GBP minimum. Not my usual kind of set, but I love the movie so seriously tempted. I love this, but I am very disappointed that they didn't include Ellie's chair! Though to have room for that they would have needed to make the house bigger and increase the price, so I won't complain too much.
A class-action lawsuit in San Francisco accuses Hermès of requiring customers to purchase other luxury items before gaining access to a Birkin handbag. The thieves quickly unload Birkins and other luxury brands to specialized fences for thousands of dollars, the Los Angeles Police Department said. Those fences then sell them to legitimate resale sites, where Hermès lovers snap them up for relative bargain prices as low as $15,000 a bag. They were in and out in 15 minutes, a security camera showed, moving with speed and strategy. They raced past computers and televisions to get to her walk-in closet. On a shelf alongside dozens of other luxury handbags she had been collecting since her teens sat the Birkin.
Atencio said she just loves all of her customers and puts a lot of love and attention into everything she makes. While she doesn't have a favorite among her sandwiches, she said they sell a lot of the dill party and says people are always looking for a good turkey sandwich. This year’s theme, A Gold New World, imagines a tomorrow for all, built by all. Luxury brand fashion designer Prabal Gurung will help bring this vision to life as the first-ever Gold Gala Creative Director.
Pixar films have provided inspiration for various LEGO sets, beginning with Toy Story in 2010 and later encompassing Cars, WALL•E, Brave and The Incredibles. Carl Fredricksen's spectacular home from 'Up' offers superb potential, as an addition to the Pixar selection. From video game journalism to kids’ publishing, I’ve been there, seen it, done it and worn the T-shirt. I was also the editor of the first-ever official LEGO magazine way back when, LEGO Adventures. I have a passion for movies, comic books, tech and video games, with a wallet that’s struggling to keep up with my LEGO set wish list. LEGO Disney ‘Up’ House is available to purchase now and is priced at £49.99 in the UK, $59.99 in the US and €54.99 in Europe.
Surely constructing a basic brick-built version of the large flightless bird wouldn’t have been that tricky or bumped the set’s price up too much. It’s a strange omission to say the least and we can only hope that the character pops up in a future LEGO Disney model. In addition to two rooms on the ground floor, the first floor includes the aforementioned attic section and Carl’s tiny bedroom.
