The Grinch has crept out of Whoville and straight into LEGO® review. How the Grinch Stole Christmas, built by BenBuilds, has reached the full 10,000 supporters on LEGO® Ideas, which means the LEGO® review team now gets to decide whether this sneaky green schemer earns a spot on your shelf. For a Dr. Seuss fan, that is a very merry bit of news indeed.

What makes this build sing is the storytelling packed into every corner. The centerpiece is the Grinch in his makeshift Santa suit, caught mid-mischief and (my favorite touch) wedged halfway down a Whoville chimney, needing a little help getting back out. Have you ever seen a brick-built character look this guilty? You will also spot Cindy-Lou Who with her sweet smile and Max the dog, antler strapped to his head, ready to haul the overloaded sleigh through the snow.

Then come the deep-cut details that reward a close look. Tucked inside the Whoville home you will find Who-Hash, a plate of Green Eggs and Ham, a potted Truffula Tree, and a certain red-and-white striped hat that fans of another Seuss story will recognize in a heartbeat. It is the kind of easter-egg-filled design that makes you want to pick the whole thing up and turn it around in your hands.

BenBuilds wrote the entire project pitch in rhyming Seussian verse, which is exactly the sort of playful commitment that makes a LEGO® Ideas submission stand out. The build landed on LEGO® Ideas on November 3, 2025, racked up 188 comments, and climbed to its 10,000-supporter goal, sending it into the review phase.

Now the fate of How the Grinch Stole Christmas rests with the LEGO® review crew. Will the Grinch's heart (and his chimney) grow three sizes this year? Keep your fingers crossed, and maybe hum a little Fah-Who-Foraze while you wait.
