Mos_Eisley Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 Apparently some VIPs in the UK have received an invitation to a midnight release at the flagship store in London and many believe it will be the release of a Stranger Things set that has been rumored for a little while now. This event is happening May 15. 5 Quote
fourkidsbuilding Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 I'm pretty stoked for this. Rumored price is $200.00 and that it is the Byer's house. For $200, this could also include Hopper's Bronco? Great looking minifigures so far.. Quote

With Lego also having the Ghostbusters license, it will be interesting to see if there are any easter eggs in the build, too. Quote

fuzzy_bricks Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 I enjoyed the show, but am not that interested in this IP as a Lego set. At least the show is still relevant and they didn't wait years to release this. 1 Quote

It's rated TV14 and most put it on equivalent of PG13 which a lot of the movies they have made sets for are. Big Bang Theory and Friends are also TV14, more for the adult humor on those 2 but same rating. Edited May 1, 2019 by ravenb99 Quote
oneknightr Posted May 1, 2019 Posted May 1, 2019 I'm really surprised this is coming to fruition due to the nature of the Demogorgon as well as how it looks. Bring on the Aliens minifigures and sets!! Quote

Big Bang Theory and Friends are also TV14, more for the adult humor on those 2 but same rating. I have mentioned in threads past how much the head for the Mouth of Sauron's minifigure looks similar to a Cenobite from the Hellraiser series not to mention how some of the goblins were amusingly "fugly" (in a good way). True the film material these characters were taken from are rated closer to teens than younger children. Even the Ideas releases of the Back to The Future's DeLorean or the Ghostbusters' Firehouse are from properties which would be rated PG-13 by modern standards. My statement was less on the source material or its rating and simply more on having a minifigure based on a beast that is essentially a walking maw of teeth on par with a bull shark. One hand very cool, on the other a whole lot of "nope!". Haha. 1 hour ago, oneknightr said: Bring on the Aliens minifigures and sets!! While we're at it, why not.

thebrickdad Posted May 1, 2019 Posted May 1, 2019 I got an invite and being an East London Boy am just a tube ride away, but I did have to look up what Stranger Things was as I don't watch much at all. I'm giving this one a miss...Sent from my SM-N960F using Tapatalk Quote
jaisonline Posted May 2, 2019 Posted May 2, 2019 very cool move by Lego and Netflix / Stranger Things. Quote
CosmicSpeed Posted May 2, 2019 Posted May 2, 2019 (edited) BRONCO!!!! I like the show, so this will be early VIP for me. This is a really unique set and fans of the show will feel it does it justice. So much better than Ideas AT and BBT. Including the upside down is a really nice touch. And the Bronco. The Bronco! BRONCOOOOOOOOO!! Edited May 2, 2019 by CosmicSpeed Quote
Forge99 Posted May 2, 2019 Posted May 2, 2019 This looks just amazing, i have had an invite to the midnight opening in London but not sure i want to be walking through London at that time of night, plus no trains home. Wonder what exactly they have planned. Wonder if there is any of the cast signing sets etc? Quote
CosmicSpeed Posted May 2, 2019 Posted May 2, 2019 It looks as if the whole house rotates on a central horizontal axis and the large trees are the support "poles" Quote
fuzzy_bricks Posted May 2, 2019 Posted May 2, 2019 Pretty unigue with the upside down and it looks better than I thought it would but still don't think I need this though. Where is 11 and what is colored out in these pictures? Quote

oneknightr Posted May 2, 2019 Posted May 2, 2019 (edited) The set looks better than I imagined it would. LOVE LOVE LOVE the box art!! I think my wife would even think this set is cool. Might be an early purchase for me. Edited May 2, 2019 by oneknightr 1 Quote

fourkidsbuilding Posted May 2, 2019 Posted May 2, 2019 This set looks outstanding! Day 1 for me... Brilliant inclusion of the upside down Quote
