Gene Wilder was able to capture the perfect mix of madness and magic in a way that no one else really ever could. The 1971 film is an absolute classic that holds a special place in the hearts of many, but now it&#8217;s also something that can hold a special place on your shelf. LEGO released its first ever Willy Wonka set back in September, and Target currently has it on sale right before Christmas.<\/p>\n<div catalogid=\"479b9729-796f-418d-a0bc-65e5c991a746\" id=\"231597\">\n<div class=\"jsx-3980863763 catalog-wrapper\">\n<div data-cy=\"productcard-view-trigger\">\n<div id=\"231597\" data-cy=\"solo-product-card\" class=\"solo-product SoloProduct_solo-product__r2_WP\">\n<div class=\"card jsx-722342313 jsx-3341285356 product-card SoloProduct_product-card__JSk8u\">\n<div class=\"product-thumbnail jsx-2285132617 SoloProduct_image__vqG4e\"><img alt=\"LEGO Ideas Willy Wonka &amp; The Chocolate Factory\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"progressive-image jsx-1809694635 jsx-2338608387 expand\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/assets-prd.ignimgs.com\/2025\/11\/23\/screenshot-198-1763926100802.png?width=220&amp;format=jpg&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=80\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets-prd.ignimgs.com\/2025\/11\/23\/screenshot-198-1763926100802.png?width=220&amp;format=jpg&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=80 1x, https:\/\/assets-prd.ignimgs.com\/2025\/11\/23\/screenshot-198-1763926100802.png?width=220&amp;dpr=2&amp;format=jpg&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=80 2x\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"\/><\/div>\n<p><h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-2827240024 name balanced\">LEGO Ideas Willy Wonka &amp; The Chocolate Factory<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><button class=\"button-text jsx-729543028 button jsx-3381835873 jsx-3347269829 icon-button catalog-upvote SoloProduct_catalog-upvote__FWsVx centered disabled\" disabled=\"\" type=\"button\" title=\"Vote\" aria-label=\"Vote\" data-cy=\"catalog-upvote\"><span class=\"ign-icon icon-rating-like jsx-2750866048 jsx-2919720488\" role=\"presentation\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-cy=\"icon-rating-like\" style=\"mask:url(https:\/\/kraken.ignimgs.com\/_next\/static\/media\/RatingLike.ea885513.svg) no-repeat center center \/ contain;background:currentColor\"\/><\/p>\n<p>3<\/p>\n<p><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">It&#8217;s pretty rare for a brand new LEGO set to get a discount so soon after release, but this is actually the second deal we&#8217;ve seen on Wonka so far. During Target&#8217;s Black Friday sale this year, the LEGO Ideas Willy Wonka set dropped down to only $153.99 (30% off). This deal isn&#8217;t quite as good as that one, but it&#8217;s still surprisingly good for a clearly popular set. It&#8217;s currently on backorder at the LEGO Store, so Target is really the only place you can even get it before Christmas and definitely the only place you&#8217;ll find this discount.<\/p>\n<section class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\">\n<aside class=\"card jsx-1339469126 jsx-1178573261 box jsx-2627838217\" data-cy=\"aside\">\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><strong>Note<\/strong>: Target has some sets available for pickup, but the discount also applies to shipped units. Both options are currently showing availability before Christmas.<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<\/section>\n<h3 data-cy=\"title3\" class=\"title3 jsx-12333944 jsx-3517023867\">Is the LEGO Willy Wonka Set Worth Buying?<\/h3>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">LEGO sets are expensive, and this particular build is well over the $150 mark even with the current discount. I myself can&#8217;t speak to how fun the build actually is, but thankfully my colleague Blythe Dujardin had the chance to build this herself when it first came out. As an avid fan of the original film, she loved the little details you find as you go, stating: &#8220;you essentially become an eccentric decorator, building mushroom flowers, gumdrop bushes, and candy cane trees to fill your gardens. Even the smallest of these decorations is a pointed reference to the original movie, including the teacups you delicately place inside some of your flowers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-slideshow\"><button type=\"button\" style=\"display:none\" class=\"jsx-2228525885\"\/><\/p>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-view-trigger\">\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-preview\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 slideshow-preview\">\n<h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-1085005187\" data-cy=\"slideshow-preview-title\">We Build LEGO Willy Wonka &amp; The Chocolate Factory<\/h3>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-images-container\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 images-container\"><button type=\"button\" data-cy=\"hero-image\" aria-label=\"Open Slideshow\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 hero-image\"><img alt=\"\" aria-hidden=\"true\" decoding=\"async\" role=\"presentation\" class=\"progressive-image jsx-2021719738 image aspect-ratio aspect-ratio-16-9 jsx-2605834259 jsx-2338608387 hover-opacity\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"\/><span class=\"button-text jsx-729543028 button button--primary jsx-3381835873 jsx-4266531355 row-pagination-button next contained centered round large\" data-cy=\"paginate next\" title=\"Open Slideshow\"><span class=\"ign-icon right-chevron jsx-2750866048 jsx-2919720488\" role=\"presentation\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-cy=\"right-chevron\" style=\"mask:url(https:\/\/kraken.ignimgs.com\/_next\/static\/media\/RightChevron.272be43c.svg) no-repeat center center \/ contain;background:currentColor\"\/><\/span><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/output><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">As for what you get with the set, it&#8217;s quite a bit. The actual build is made up of 2025 pieces and includes a whopping nine minifigures. Two of those minifigures are Oompa Loompas, of course, but they are perhaps the most delightful of them all. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Like many sets in the LEGO Ideas line, the Willy Wonka set is specifically made for the 18+ crowd of adult builders. That means it&#8217;s big and meant to be displayed rather than be actively played with. If you know someone who&#8217;s a hardcore Willy Wonka fan, this is definitely a LEGO gift I&#8217;d recommend grabbing ahead of Christmas while the discount lasts.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/the-lego-willy-wonka-set-gets-another-big-discount-at-target-before-christmas-2025\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There have been multiple iterations of Willy Wonka over the years, but my overall favorite is still the original.
