Now you're thinking with portals
These bookends create the illusion of a companion cube being transported from one side of your bookcase to the other! Another fun way to use the set is by placing them in different spots around your home, making fans of the game instinctively search for the other half when they spot the first.
This set includes
On one side, you'll find Atlas standing on a base designed to resemble the iconic robotic panels from the Portal games. This base conceals the LEGO Technic structure that supports the blue portal, along with half of the companion cube. Atop the base, you'll also find Wheatley, the mischievous antagonist from Portal 2. And for fans who have been waiting over 15 years for their promised cake—you can finally make your own (LEGO) cake!
On the other side, P-body stands on a matching panel-style base, featuring an orange portal and the other half of the companion cube. This base also includes a Sentry Turret, ready to fire, and the game's ultimate evil... the bird! Nestled on the base is a bird's nest, complete with GLaDOS in potato form.
Why did I build it?
We do what we must because we can. For the good of all of us...
But jokes aside, I absolutely love the Portal games and have always dreamed of creating a LEGO set inspired by them. For the longest time, I struggled to come up with a concept that felt truly unique and exciting. Then it hit me—why not incorporate the games’ genius mechanics into the design? When I realized it hadn’t been done before, I knew I had to bring the idea to life.
Specifications
Each base measures 16x16 studs (12.8 cm) and stands 60 plates tall (19.2 cm). The entire set consists of approximately 1,300 pieces, though it could likely be built with fewer pieces, as optimizing the piece count wasn’t a primary focus during the design process.
Who is this for
I made a set I would love to own, as a fan of both LEGO and Portal. Whether you're a dedicated fan of the games, a LEGO enthusiast, or simply someone who appreciates the brilliant character design of the Portal universe, I hope this set resonates with you. I also aimed to make it enjoyable for all ages, so there’s something here for everyone to appreciate.
