Stranger Things' Creel House BACK! But There's a Catch You Won't Believe!

Okay, Stranger Things fans, listen up! Remember that LEGO Icons Stranger Things: The Creel House set that vanished faster than Barb in the Upside Down after its initial release on New Year's Day? Well, good news! It’s back… sort of. You can now place an order on the LEGO Store, but brace yourselves: it's currently on backorder.

Stranger Things' Creel House BACK! But There's a C...

I know, I know. Backorder isn’t exactly the news we wanted, but hear me out. With the fifth and final season of Stranger Things looming on the horizon, the demand for anything related to Hawkins is understandably insane. This 2,593-piece set is a loving recreation of the Creel House, the Gothic manor that’s practically a character in itself at this point. It includes 13 minifigures (plenty of potential for recreating your favorite scenes!), Steve's iconic car, Will's bike, and even the WSQK radio van – details that are sure to delight any die-hard fan.

Yes, you’ll be waiting approximately 60 days for your order to ship, which is, admittedly, a bit of a drag. But think of it this way: you have two months to clear a space on your shelf and prepare for the immersive build experience that awaits. And trust me, this set looks like it’ll be worth the wait. The interactive elements and hidden features are what truly set it apart.

The designers clearly went all-out on the details. The Creel House has a dual personality, just like in the show. You can display it in its pristine, before-the-demons state, or flip it around to reveal the dilapidated, condemned version we all know and fear. The open back design shows off the interior rooms: the entryway, dining room, sitting room, hallways, and even Henry’s bedroom are all meticulously recreated. Then, there are the attics – perfect for staging your minifigure dramas. But the real kicker? You can pull the corners of the house to reveal Vecna's interdimensional Mind Lair! I mean, come on, that’s seriously cool.

LEGO has a knack for capturing the essence of the show. This isn’t their first foray into the world of Stranger Things, either. They’ve already released BrickHeadz sets, including a Demogorgon (a must-have, in my opinion), and the now-retired The Upside Down set, which I still regret not snagging. Now, while you're waiting for the Creel House to arrive, you can also look forward to LEGO's upcoming releases, including the Smart Play Star Wars sets, LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight sets, and even some LEGO Pokémon sets! Plus, Lord of the Rings fans can look forward to Sauron's Helmet!

So, while the wait might be a little longer than we’d like, the LEGO Icons Stranger Things: The Creel House set is finally within reach again. Get your order in now, and prepare to delve into the mysteries of Hawkins… brick by brick.
