Introduction
Christmas Vacation- is a 1989 Christmas movie... this movie is a must watch every holiday season for my family. After building this Christmas vacation house I showed it to friends and family and right away they wanted me to build them one so they could put it on display, so I figured I would try and put it on lego ideas so others could enjoy my build as well.
As the holidays approach, Clark Griswold wants to have a perfect family Christmas, so he pesters his wife, Ellen, and children, as he tries to make sure everything is in line, including the tree and house decorations. However, things go awry quickly. His cousin, Eddie, show up unplanned and start living in his camper on the Griswold property. While I was working on this build, I put as much love and details as I could into this classic holiday house.
Summary
This set consists of 3900 pieces. The Griswold house has 3 floors full of furniture and stuff from the movie. This build also comes with a family car to pick up the Christmas tree and also Eddies RV.
On the main floor there is a living room with a working fireplace and a Christmas tree with a squirrel in it. The entrance way has a stair case to get to the second floor and a dining room to have a family Christmas dinner.
