$20 on joe vs dan Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 (edited) Never even heard of this show until this LEGO series. Checked it out and ended up binging first 6 episodes...till 4am! Love all the 80's references...very cool Goonies vibe. ...btw...does Wynona Ryder character EVER comb her hair?

fourkidsbuilding Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Lots of new pics up in the usual place...This set looks glorious. I really can't find one thing I dislike about it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t_mafia Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Set looks good IMO interested to see what other (if any sets come out to accompany it) would they be from season 1, 2, or current etc.? Still not really sure how the rotation/tree features will work... or if maybe the house is supposed to just be separated horizontally. Perhaps someone with more brain cells than myself could explain their hypothesis... Either way I am excited for the set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way I am excited for the set I think the trees work as "stands" and you simply turn the house around to put it either on the upper two trees or the lower two. I wonder how stable this will be in real play situations... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking the trees are stationary and the home rotates but the images are now gone, so we will have to wait until the official release. Is this still scheduled for VIP release tomorrow? Might stop by the store to view it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the home rotated on the trees, you would have "upside down" trees matched up with the "normal" version of the house..wouldn't make sense based on the source material.

$20 on joe vs dan Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 images from: https://www.stonewars.de/news/lego-stranger-things-75810-bilder/ clearly the set just flips over...the top of trees appear to be the base for both scenes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to see it in person (or at least real build pics) to be able to wrap my head around it. Very cool, nonetheless!

Popular Post Mos_Eisley Posted May 14, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 14, 2019 That 80’s commercial TLG created for this is probably the best video they’ve ever done. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzy_bricks Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 The source material choice and the marketing of this set make me think that Lego is trying to broaden their potential user base outside of kids and established AFOLs. I'm curious to see if they continue to make a more concerted push in different markets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iahawks550 Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 I'm sure there have been more unique sets at some point, but I can't think of any. This is truly incredible. I don't think it has as large a potential buyer base as most sets, but fans of the series that have never bought LEGO might consider this.

CosmicSpeed Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 (edited) I believe this will be worth seeing in person today. Ive got $65 in VIP credits just hanging out... Edited May 15, 2019 by CosmicSpeed 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belac Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Never seen the show.Although I am aware of. This is a pretty cool set but there's so many things to buy for a deal, I'll wait for a discount. Happy to see Lego trying some stuff like this,and overwatch and other more recent possible nostalgia themes. I wonder if overwatch will ever go off 20% deal? Not all will be winners. Does stranger things somehow tie in with Ghostbusters? I've seen hints it may. 3 minutes ago, MrToes16 said: Am I the only one looking at this set and mostly thinking, "Ohhh, blue plant leaves"! Ya the blue plant leaves and all those tree parts are nice on this set:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
