Help The Addams Family Mansion Lego Set Hit Shelves

I have to admit that of all the licensed Lego products, I never thought that we would see one based on “The Addams Family.” But it looks like we could indeed be getting one if the Addams Family Mansion Lego set reaches 10,000 supporters on the Lego Ideas website. It’s currently at 7,094, and with 693 days left, this seems like a very reachable goal.
And it’s easy to see why it’s getting so much support. Just look at it! It’s the Addams Family mansion through and through, down to the most minute details. They even included the polar bear. The page handily includes a picture of the original mansion from the show, and goddamn, I can’t see any significant differences. Supporting this is truly a must for horror nuts.
About the Lego Addams Family Mansion:
From the 1964-66 TV sitcom “The Addams Family,” this is the mansion and family! The project is an “end of series” anniversary tribute to the last new episode aired on April 8, 1966 – 50 years ago!
