LEGO’s Willy Wonka set is coming Sept. 18

Ready to dive headfirst into pure imagination? LEGO has just unveiled one of its most whimsical creations ever: a "Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory" set, a gorgeous 2,025-piece homage to Gene Wilder's 1971 classic. This isn't just a movie tie-in. It's a full-scale chocolate wonderland that'll have you humming Oompa Loompa songs while you build. The set launches Sept. 15 for LEGO Insiders (early access) and Sept. 18 for everyone else, exclusively through LEGO stores and LEGO.com.

You get a working chocolate waterfall that actually moves when you turn a dial, the famous Wonkatania boat that can fit all the Golden Ticket winners, Willy Wonka's secret office with a hidden door and candy plants including a teacup tree and candy cane creations. Nine minifigures bring the magic to life: Willy Wonka, Charlie Bucket, Grandpa Joe, Augustus Gloop, Veruca Salt, Violet Beauregarde, Mike Teavee and two Oompa Loompas.
