LEGO is having a Stranger Things moment with this nostalgic set that won't last long.
LEGO Unveils Exclusive Stranger Things Set in Anticipation of Season 5: Pre-Order Details and More
Fans of the hit Netflix series *Stranger Things* have a new reason to get excited as the highly anticipated fifth and final season approaches. LEGO has just announced an exclusive new set inspired by the show's iconic Upside Down world, and it's already generating buzz among collectors and enthusiasts. This limited-edition build captures the eerie essence of the series, blending nostalgia, horror, and adventure in brick form. With Season 5 slated to premiere sometime in the coming months, this LEGO release serves as a perfect teaser, allowing fans to immerse themselves in the Hawkins universe while they wait for the on-screen conclusion.
The set, officially titled "LEGO Stranger Things: The Upside Down Portal," is a meticulously designed recreation of key elements from the show. At its core is a detailed model of the infamous portal to the Upside Down, complete with twisting vines, flickering lights (simulated through LEGO's innovative lighting bricks), and minifigures of beloved characters. Expect to see Eleven with her signature nosebleed and telekinetic pose, Mike Wheeler on his bike, Dustin with his quirky hat and walkie-talkie, and even a menacing Demogorgon lurking in the shadows. The build includes modular sections that allow for customizable displays, such as the Byers' house with its Christmas lights spelling out messages, or the Hawkins National Laboratory with secret compartments hiding Easter eggs from the series.
What makes this set stand out is its exclusivity. LEGO has positioned it as a collector's item, available only through select retailers and the official LEGO online store. It's not just a toy; it's a piece of memorabilia that pays homage to the show's evolution from its 1980s-inspired first season to the epic battles against otherworldly threats in later episodes. The design team at LEGO collaborated closely with Netflix to ensure authenticity, incorporating details like the Mind Flayer's shadowy tendrils and Vecna's clock motifs, which have become synonymous with the series' horror elements. Measuring over 2,000 pieces, the set is aimed at adult fans (AFOLs ā Adult Fans of LEGO) and older teens, with a complexity that challenges builders to recreate the tension and mystery of *Stranger Things*.
Diving deeper into the set's features, the portal mechanism is particularly ingenious. Builders can construct a rotating base that "opens" the gate to the Upside Down, revealing a mirrored world with inverted colors and floating particles represented by translucent bricks. This interactive element adds a layer of playability, even for display purposes. Additional accessories include the show's signature props: Eggo waffles for Eleven, a Dungeons & Dragons game set for the kids' campaigns, and even a miniature version of the Creel House from Season 4, hinting at plot points that might carry over into the final season. LEGO has also included glow-in-the-dark elements to enhance the spooky atmosphere, making it ideal for low-light displays that mimic the show's dimly lit scenes.
The timing of this release couldn't be better. *Stranger Things* Season 5 is one of the most eagerly awaited TV events, with rumors swirling about epic confrontations, character arcs wrapping up, and potential crossovers with the show's expanding universe, including spin-offs and stage productions. The series, created by the Duffer Brothers, has captivated audiences since 2016 with its blend of sci-fi, horror, and coming-of-age drama set against a backdrop of supernatural threats in small-town Indiana. From the Demogorgon's first appearance to the Mind Flayer's invasions and Vecna's psychological terror, the show has built a massive fanbase that spans generations. This LEGO set taps into that fandom, offering a tangible way to celebrate the legacy while building anticipation for the finale.
For those interested in snagging this exclusive item, pre-orders are now live. The set is priced at around $199.99, reflecting its premium status and the high piece count. It's available for pre-order on the LEGO website, as well as through partners like Amazon and Target, with an expected ship date in early 2025 to coincide with the Season 5 buzz. Early birds might also score limited-edition bonuses, such as exclusive stickers or a digital blueprint for custom builds inspired by the show. However, due to high demand, it's advisable to act fast ā previous *Stranger Things* LEGO sets, like the original Upside Down house from 2019, sold out quickly and now command premium prices on the secondary market.
This isn't LEGO's first foray into the *Stranger Things* world. The 2019 set, which flipped the Byers' house to reveal the Upside Down, was a massive hit, praised for its innovative design and faithful recreation of the show's aesthetic. That set introduced many fans to the idea of LEGO as a medium for pop culture storytelling, and this new release builds on that foundation with updated elements from Seasons 3 and 4, plus teases for Season 5. It's a testament to how LEGO continues to evolve, partnering with major franchises to create immersive experiences that go beyond simple building.
Enthusiasts are already sharing their excitement online. Social media is abuzz with posts from fans planning to integrate this set into larger *Stranger Things* displays or even creating stop-motion videos recreating iconic scenes. One fan on Reddit noted, "This is the perfect way to tide us over until Season 5 drops ā I can't wait to build the portal and feel like I'm stepping into Hawkins myself." Another highlighted the educational aspect, pointing out how the set encourages creativity and problem-solving, much like the show's young protagonists solving mysteries.
In a broader sense, this LEGO set underscores the enduring appeal of *Stranger Things*. The series has not only dominated streaming charts but has also influenced fashion, music (with Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill" resurgence), and merchandise. From Funko Pops to apparel, the franchise's merchandising empire is vast, and LEGO's entry adds a high-quality, interactive dimension. As Season 5 promises to resolve lingering plot threads ā Will's connection to the Upside Down, Eleven's powers, and the fate of Hawkins ā this set allows fans to speculate and play out their theories in brick form.
If you're a die-hard fan or a LEGO collector, this exclusive *Stranger Things* set is a must-have. It bridges the gap between the screen and real life, offering hours of building fun and a stunning display piece. Pre-order now to ensure you don't miss out on what could become a sought-after collector's item. With the final season on the horizon, there's no better time to dive back into the world of *Stranger Things* ā one brick at a time.
