The LEGO® Group announced a journey to the Hundred Acre Wood today with the LEGO® Ideas Winnie the Pooh (21326) set. The initial announcement arrived over a year ago alongside the Medieval Blacksmith. The latter set hit shelves earlier this year. VIP fans get their hands on Winnie the Pooh later this month. General sale for the set begins in April. Additionally, the kit comes stocked with unique Minifigures for the avid Pooh fans out there.
The official press release describes the set as:
Today, LEGO® is inviting Winnie the Pooh fans to embrace nostalgia and return to the picturesque Hundred Acre Wood with its new LEGO® Ideas Winnie the Pooh set – based on original designs by LEGO® builder and superfan Ben Alder. Beneath a large oak tree, complete with beehives and bees, Pooh’s house takes centre stage. The house can be opened up to unveil a whole host of furniture and unique items, such as the “Pooh-coo” Clock, box of “Pooh sticks”, Tigger’s locket, and of course, plenty of honey pots – both full and empty!
Take a close look at that foliage and the clever piece use.

Winnie the Pooh looks fun. I am not a fan of the franchise, but the build looks interesting. I love the design of the tree. The foliage using pieces typically associated with underwater coral is awesome. The hill under the tree is cool too. What are your thoughts on Winnie the Pooh (21326)? Feel free to comment below or reach out on social media.
Until next time,

This kit should be a licence to print money. People are mad for Winnie the Pooh. People are mad for Lego. Put ’em both together and boom.
Not a bad looking set either for the Winnie the Pooh fans out there.
Yes, the internal decoration for Pooh’s house has great detail. Looks true to my memory of the books and cartoons.
The curtains look a similar design to some in Ninjago city gardens.
