Review: LEGO Disney Lilo and Stitch Beach House 43268

LEGO Disney Lilo and Stitch Beach House 43268 New Release Review Brick Banter - 2025 March

Aloha! Lilo and Stitch’s Home is now in LEGO!

A long time favourite Disney film in my household, as I’m sure it is for many others too, Lilo and Stitch get the LEGO Disney treatment!

With a live action movie on our heels and already two other version of Stitch released, it seems only fitting that we finally get ourselves a model of the home. But how does it hold up? What’s its badness level? Read on!

Outside the House

The exterior of the set gives us a vibrant red rooftop with thatches of colour mixed. Bright walls and white highlights all around. The base of the set is also adorned with green plant life, bringing the space to a livelier state. We have a small walkway balcony, three windows and two palm trees either side.

To add to the mix, we also get the rounded dome shape on top, which is later to be Stitch’s room at the ending of the film when remaking the house.
So all in all, seems pretty on the money right? Well, there has been a lot of creative liberties from the LEGO team, with reason.

When looking at the reference material for the house, you can see significant changes between the original house and this one. For starters, the raised room on the left-hand side is normally built on top of a mountain, with the mountain cascading downwards from left to right.

Following that, the house is elevated on stilts, giving a lower driveway on the right-hand side, and otherwise a long bent pathway to the front door.
Now obvious LEGO have had to make some compromises. But if you’re here for the accuracy of the set, you’ll be disappointed.

Inside the House

Inside of the house is a different story to the outside. There is more focus on movie locations and things in the film. Here we get Nani’s Room, Lilo’s Room, the kitchen and a lounge room.
Admittedly small, there are allusions in all the scenes by LEGO that make clear connections back to the film.

We have the Ugly Duckling Book, Lilo’s drawings, Scrump the doll, the Pineapple lamp, Stitch’s box and even Lilo’s jar of spoons. I love the inclusion of the spoon jar. This is a reference to the scene when Lilo is reading a book on voodoo, makes copies of her friends and throws them in the jar. Of course, followed by the phrase “My friends need to be punished”.

It is unfortunate how many rooms end up feeling small, but this is the reality of a set this size. For what they have available, the set crams in a lot, and I’m fan.

Minifigures

The Figures for the set are Lilo, David, Cobra Bubbles, Nani and the titular Stitch.

Lilo

Lilo’s figure in this set is a very basic figure, using a friend’s hair piece in black for her hair. I really like the choice of this, as it allows us to recreate a scene where Nani puts a flower in Lilo’s hair when she sings to her. Her torso is otherwise very fitting to her on screen version, but her legs confuse me a little. We have printed skin tones and sandals on her toes, to imply her feet in sandals. I get where they were going with the print, but it doesn’t convey unless 100% directly looking forward. Maybe dual moulded legs or a fabric dress element might have worked better here?

David

David is an unexpected character choice in the line up, but I’m glad he’s here! We get ourselves more shirtless skin tones, as well as a very true-to-character representation. He’s also equipped with his fire twirling sticks as an accessory. I have no faults here.

Cobra

Cobra Bubbles gets a LEGO appearance in this set, who is another surprising addition I didn’t see coming. The figure is a lot more simplistic than the others, which is true to form. His iconic black sunglasses are well conveyed through his print on his head, but I do think there is a little more to be desired with the rest of the printing. His iconic lips are captured by the LEGO team, but being the only figure with these features feels out of place. It’s a mixed bag – he’s conveyed to the best he can be, but still feels off.

Nani

Nani, Lilo’s older sister, is a character that has been translated really effectively into the LEGO Style. I really like the choice for the Pocahontas hair for her constantly-swaying hair, and her prints are great. The figure is almost perfect – but the lack of dual moulded legs has really struck back on the figure. She’s almost always in shorts, and with lower leg printing and toe printing, it was close to perfection. But alas, no.

Stitch

The last figure for the set is Stitch, which is an entirely new figure in colouring. Previous versions of the character appeared in Sand Blue, but here we are met with a brighter blue. This colour definitely feels more at home with colours of the set, but sparks a few questions. Is there plans for a new Stitch with the four arms? Or do we need to collect the previous two versions of the character to better play out the scenes in the film? Hmm.

Verdict

The set, at the end of the day, is an allusion to the movie and franchises they spawned. There are some clear inconsistencies with the product and the original source material, but these are compromises in the sense of availability to the public.

$150 AUD for five exclusive figures, as well as a bunch of movie references and a whole house isn’t that bad. Wishing for a house that’s more accurate than what this is will do nothing more than slap on a significant budget to the final product – something I’m sure the designers tossed and turned with.

But for what it is and what it costs, this is great. Does it need work if you want it move accurate? Yes. But for what it is here, it’s clear enough.
