Holy crap- I know this probably isn't the place to discuss it, but I never thought about what Will thought when he first got trapped in the Upside Down. Did he think it was a nightmare at first? Did he maybe think he was in hell? Demigorgon has a closed faceprint - nice. Also, I'm really curious about the structure. Obviously they designed it well enough to hold at first, but like the UCS Slave I shows (don't own one, just know about the issue), gravity's a bitch. Personally I think that issue with the slave 1 is a bit fabricated. I remember there being arguments about it. My one has been sitting happily for almost 2 years and hasn’t changed

A 1x1 is probably closer to accurate in scale (not that scale is ever truly accurate when it comes to anything involving minifigures), but I’d rather have gotten more waffle tiles to match the one already available. 5 hours ago, Puresh said: I guess they don't have any of those pieces anymore - it's been 5 years since we last saw them in a set. You also have to remember that Netflix had a lot to say about the product design. If they wanted smaller waffles, they, got smaller waffles It's because these are Eggo brand waffles, which are smaller than typical waffles. Really, I admire this accuracy, as I'm doubting few would have noticed if they had just cheaped out and used the regular waffle piece.

May 13, 20195 yr Hmmm, I'm not quite fond of Hopper's face... But, besides that, I can't wait to see the potential Designer Video for this set, as it's gotta be a technical milestone as far as Lego sets go!
May 13, 20195 yr Damn Hoppers face really doesn’t look good. Still gonna use the Venkman hair on him though. EDIT: I’m definitely going to the midnight reveal tomorrow, I’ll be sure post some pics of the set from there! Hopefully the ‘netflix And build’ thing is an exclusive mini build, I’ll post that too Edited May 13, 20195 yr by Whovastron
May 13, 20195 yr 5 hours ago, incognito said: what about The Simpsons? But I don't see any more ST sets coming, either. Simpsons had two yearly D2C large sets (which I can see Lego doing for ST if this set sells week) and a minifig series (which is pretty common to be released with a large D2C set as a way to populate it - see Disney Castle) but I do not see they releasing a minifig series for ST due to the adult nature of the IP and the fact that minifig blind bags are impulse buys at stores. There weren’t smaller sets for Simpsons outside the Dimensions ones. Edited May 13, 20195 yr by Chiaroscuro

May 13, 20195 yr better idea: an exclusive polybag, also available as GWP for the lego online store. ;) Edited May 13, 20195 yr by incognito
May 13, 20195 yr Am I the only one who wishes Jonathen was included? I mean this is the Byer’s house.

I wouldn’t blame others for not knowing either Why sexual euphemisms always have to be so cryptic is beyond me

It looks to me that they used parts 15460 and 14418 to lock the studless sides of the house's baseplates altogether. For the upside down presentation, it seems that you simply turn the model upside down, since the trees - and thus their flat topsides - should be mirrored.
May 13, 20195 yr I wonder if we could ever see a figure pack or Bricktober pack with the young-adult cast of the show. I need a Steve figure. Here's hoping they continue this and we get some smaller sets based on other locations like Hawkin's Lab or Hopper's cabin.

I’ve said this before, but the HD pictures have confirmed it I think, the two half size of the set can be taken apart, and it’s ball joints used to attach them together
