If you count yourself among the music makers and the dreamers of dreams, you can add the builder of bricks to that with this “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” LEGO set. It brings to life the first part of the factory that the kids walk into, and as Wonka informs the kids, everything in there is edible. 

Designers Roberto Ceruti and Jody Padulano had this to say about their build, which originated at the LEGO Ideas website, where master builders can submit custom designs to be considered as official LEGO sets:

“Our inspiration came from the nostalgia and innocence of ‘Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory’ – it simply had to become a LEGO set. The build took about four to five months, starting with the iconic movie scene. Thanks to new LEGO pieces, we could update the design and overcome challenges like perfecting the bridge and balancing the candy tree’s look. Adding a motorized waterfall made the set truly special.”

That’s right, the set includes a moving chocolate waterfall that can be activated with a turning dial. There’s even a secret door next to the waterfall that leads to Wonka’s office, though it’s not clear just how much of the office can be seen back there, based on the provided images.

In addition, the set includes nine minifigures of all the main characters: Willy Wonka, Charlie Bucket, Grandpa Joe, Augustus Gloop, Mike Teavee, Veruca Salt, Violet Beauregarde, and two Oompa Loompas. It’s a little bit of a bummer that the parents of Mike, Veruca, Violet, and Augustus aren’t included, but the set is so beautiful that we can’t complain too much. After all, Augustus comes with a LEGO head that has a chocolate-covered face on the reverse side, and that’s pretty cool. Plus, all the kids have their own Golden Ticket, too.
