LEGO Stranger Things

From rumor to reality, LEGO Stranger Things is closer than you think!

On June 1, “The Upside Down” Deluxe play set will arrive (it’s available now to LEGO VIP Members) — a 2,287-piece building set that comes packaged in 11 bags, allowing the real world and the Upside Down to be built at once for a shared building experience. Based on the Netflix Original series, the Byers’ house includes eight Stranger Things minifigures — Eleven, Mike Wheeler, Lucas Sinclair, Dustin Henderson, Will Byers, Joyce Byers, Chief Jim Hopper, and the Demogorgon — each with iconic deco, from Dustin’s Waupaca, Wisconsin, T-shirt to Eleven’s Eggo waffle.

Tapping into the classic ’80s vibe of the show, LEGO released a commercial that appears to be ripped straight from a lost VHS cassette!

Additionally, the set comes with Chief Hopper‘s police cruiser (a 1980 Chevrolet K5 Blazer, if we’re being technical), complete with a removable roof for easy access to the interior.

Details of the house include the famed living room, with an alphabet wall with a light-up function, a couch, a coffee table, a telephone, an ax, a “have you seen me?” flyer, and a bear trap; Will’s bedroom with a boombox, a bed, a desk, a desk lamp, drawings, and movie posters; the dining room complete with an armchair, boxes that store Christmas lights, a fantasy game rule book, and a potted plant; and attic space with a Mind Flayer drawing sticker element and a wizard hat for “Will the Wise.”

When flipped to the Upside Down, the mirror image of the house is vine-covered and dilapidated.

LEGO Stranger Things

LEGO’s first foray into Stranger Things will set you back $199.99. To put this in perspective, one of 1985’s most iconic toys — the 7-foot long G.I. Joe U.S.S. FLAGG — was $109.99 when it was released 34 years ago. Inflation is serious business.
