At an impressive 3,955 pieces, it is also the largest set created from a LEGO Ideas concept. Every room is packed with details from the movie, such as the after-shave lotion from “The Scream” bathroom scene, Buzz’s pet tarantula, the robbers’ van, the paint cans used to knock them down, and the treehouse with a zipline. $249.99 / lego.com
