2023 is a massive year for Disney as the brand celebrates its 100th anniversary, and LEGO Disney fans are in for a year-long treat with plenty of sets released to celebrate the historic milestone. 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. In fact space is used wisely in ‘Up’ House, as each room is packed with details and bursting with nods to the original film.

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. A Hermès spokeswoman did not respond — or even acknowledge — messages seeking information about Birkins. Interviews with bag owners and experts and a recent lawsuit suggest Birkins are bestowed on customers who spend handsomely on other products year after year. In interviews with five employees at retail locations across the Southland, workers said rushing to unlock merchandise for often-peeved customers has made their slammed shifts more hectic.

"I really enjoyed this yesterday. It was worth the 4+ hour roundtrip."

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. Like most LEGO sets aimed at younger kids, the set is awash with stickers with quite a sizeable sticker sheet. Construction on ‘Up’ House begins with the ground floor area, which sits on a 6×12 baseplate and boasts vibrant external walls. One of the many rewarding aspects of making the model comes in the form of all sorts of delightful mini-builds that add plenty of character to the set. A few simple pieces form a lamp, add a miner’s helmet to a handful of other elements and you have a gramophone, a couple of bricks combined together are used to create a small cuckoo clock and so on. Their site promised payment to sellers within 48 hours and bought a stunning array of used Birkins.

He has beachcombed 789 Lego pieces in just two years along with fossils. Other plastic ended up in the sea alongside the Lego, including 352,000 pairs of flippers, 97,500 scuba tanks, and 92,400 swords. The teenage treasure hunter has found almost 800 pieces of Lego that spilled into the sea after the accident.

Nevertheless, the mailbox is an important inclusion and I like the balloons too. It’s dense enough and with a bit of imagination, it does work to convey that yes, this is a house that’s held aloft by helium balloons, but in the context of the entire build, the balloon mass looks quite small, and I think is just begging for more to be added. The house itself is really well-designed, capturing all the essential elements from the flying balloon house in the movie. There are plenty of great references thrown in, such as the wound up hose out the front that Dug and Carl use to drag the house across Paradise falls. There’s a small fenced patch of grass which has some helium tanks and balloons that Carl uses to blow up balloons before he’s meant to be sent off to the Shady Oaks retirement village.

In addition to two rooms on the ground floor, the first floor includes the aforementioned attic section and Carl’s tiny bedroom. A number of pieces throughout ‘Up’ House act as simple picture frames, with stickers showing familiar images from the film, although some are quite fiddly to attach. Indeed, we had a few choice words for the stickers that were required for the front door of the house, something that could quite easily just have been a printed piece. One thing to address straight off the bat is that what you’re essentially getting with ‘Up’ House is actually a partial build of the Fredricksens’ home. As with similar LEGO Disney models such as Belle and the Beast’s Castle and The Madrigal House, the model represents only the front and sides of the building, with the back exposed to allow access to the interior sections.

Her insurance policy covered the value of her husband’s stolen watches, but not her Birkin or her other bags. As investment pieces, Birkins are on par with fine wine, watches or art, but their collectors are often dismissed as silly clotheshorses. 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.

With the task force monitoring it, the SUV traveled one Sunday to residential areas of Palos Verdes Estates and Manhattan Beach. Two break-ins were subsequently reported in Palos Verdes and one in Manhattan Beach in which thieves had made off with handbags and jewelry totaling an “approximate loss of $97,000,” according to a Manhattan Beach police report cited in court records. Many of the aisles were lined with anti-theft mechanisms, including red magnets at the end of metal prongs holding items like eyelash curlers and an individual plastic cage around a $22 box of lice treatment. Some sections, including all the toothpaste and most of the detergent, were locked behind long, clear cages. The scale of merchandise theft, Kubrin added, is sometimes overblown by a retail industry happy to pin its problems, which include market forces such as inflation and a shift to online shopping, on stolen merchandise.

Included in the 598-piece kit is the front of the house from the film, four interior rooms, several balloons, accessories, and three minifigures, including Carl Fredricksen, Russell, and Dug. Whether you’re building this Disney Lego set to reenact scenes from the movie or displaying the house on your shelf, it’s a fun build for adults and kids. Rounding out the LEGO Disney model are a number of brick-built and colourful balloons sticking out of the chimney. In Up, Carl uses these to float his house up and away from the confines of a city and travels to South America in search of adventure. Unfortunately, the lacklustre number of balloons included with ‘Up’ House (just 24 in total) fails to have the impact of what should be one of the standout features of the set. Double or triple that amount and we’d have a much more accurate (if repetitive) build to be talking about.
