Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.When asked what films we associate with Christmas, chances are you’ll recall everything from Love Actually to The Grinch. But there’s one that stands out for eliciting that warm, festive, fuzzy feeling: Home Alone.
The Nineties classic needs little introduction. It involves a young boy (Kevin McCallister) defending himself and his home from two dopey burglars (the wet bandits) after he’s accidentally left behind by his family, who have jetted off to Paris.
More than 30 years later, Home Alone is still part of the zeitgeist. Not only was there a (controversial) reboot last year, titled Home Sweet Home Alone, but Lego jumped on the bandwagon by launching a set of the film’s principal location (£259.99, Lego.com).
Yes, you read that right – you can now recreate the McCallister’s mansion at home, and the set is full of all the intricate details you know and love, including the wet bandits’s van and Kevin’s traps.
If you want to get in the festive spirit – ya filthy animal – the set is available to buy now, just in time for Christmas.

This McCallister mansion is instantly recognisable: it’s definitely time to relive the Christmas classic with this 3,955-piece Lego set. It also features five minifigures, including, of course, the wet bandits (the burglars), as well as a screaming Kevin.
It’s said to be packed full of Easter eggs and items that hark back to some of the most notorious scenes from the film, including a cut out of Michael Jordan and the TV showing Angels with Filthy Souls. You’ll also find a variety of traps and pranks too.
An ideal Christmas present for the Home Alone fan in your life. We’d recommend being quick, as we predict this will be a sell-out.
