“Good Morning… and in case I don’t see ya: Good Afternoon, Good Evening, and Good Night!”
Step into the carefully constructed world of The Truman Show with this detailed LEGO Ideas set — a retro television diorama packed with secret compartments and iconic moments from the film. It’s Truman Burbank’s story, told entirely through LEGO.
🎬
Set Overview
This vintage-style LEGO TV model brings to life three unforgettable scenes from The Truman Show, each thoughtfully hidden within its cleverly engineered structure:
• Main TV Screen – The Falling Stage Light
The centerpiece of the set shows Truman standing in front of his picturesque house — cheerful and unaware — just as a stage light suddenly crashes from the sky, hinting at the artificial world he inhabits. A faithful recreation of one of the film’s first major turning points.
• Back Compartment – The Ocean and Exit Door
Open the rear of the TV to reveal Truman’s emotional escape. The miniature sailboat, staircase, and sky-painted wall with the door represent Truman’s final, courageous step into the real world. It’s a symbol of freedom, beautifully captured in LEGO form.
• Front Compartment – Christof’s Control Room
Hidden behind a fold-out front panel is the high-tech control center, complete with director Christof watching over Truman’s every move. This secret room shows the “man behind the curtain” and contrasts perfectly with the illusion of Truman’s sunny, suburban life.
