Stranger Things season 5’s finale episode, which can also be the collection finale, will go dwell on Netflix on New 12 months’s Eve. To have a good time that, Lego and Netflix have teamed up with the collection creators to create a $300 set that I’m unsure actually hits the mark. And I’m an enormous Stranger Issues fan and Lego sicko.
On December 2, Lego and Netflix revealed a new elaborate Stranger Things-themed set that’s primarily based on the Creel House first seen in season four. That is the place the place a younger Henry Creel lived and the place some horrific shit went down. It additionally ended up being the house base for season 4’s large unhealthy monster man, Vecna. And whereas that does imply the Creel Home is a vital piece of Stranger Issues lore, I’m not excited to spend $300 on what largely seems like a Lego haunted home set.
The Creel House Lego set contains 2,593 pieces and 13 minifigs: Eleven, Will, Mike, Lucas, Dustin, Steve, Nancy, Robin, Jonathan, Max, Holly, Mr. Whatsit, and Vecna himself. It additionally contains two car builds. As you would possibly anticipate, it incorporates lots of Easter eggs referencing moments from each season of the favored Netflix collection. Maybe essentially the most fascinating tidbit about this set is that it may be cut up in a approach that reveals the “interdimensional horror” beneath, with Lego and Netflix calling it the “first-ever transforming LEGO house.”
“We grew up obsessed with the LEGO brand, so seeing Stranger Things rebuilt in bricks is honestly surreal,” defined Stranger Issues creators Ross and Matt Duffer. “With the show heading into its final chapter — and hitting the 10-year mark — bringing the Creel House to life this way feels like the perfect celebration of the world and the fans who made all of this possible.”
Personally, I’d have been far more all for a Lego diorama recreating Hawkins or a couple of smaller units depicting iconic places and moments from the present that join into a pleasant show piece. One thing that feels immediately recognizable as Stranger Issues. However a minimum of for $300, the home seems detailed, splits aside, and incorporates a ton of figs. I’ll be spending dumb amounts of money on a different big Lego set based on a popular show soon, so I’ll be passing on this house set.
The Creel Home set will likely be that can be purchased on New 12 months’s Day, about 24 hours after the finale airs. Makes me marvel if there are some fascinating spoilers hidden within the set. Stranger Issues Vol. 1 is out now on Netflix. Vol 2. arrives on December 25. And the finale airs on New 12 months’s Eve.
