I was giving reasoning as to why Lego-freak was talking about the start of the franchise, rather than the media the sets are based on. Hence why I said ‘otherwise’. Most of the themes I mentioned began as a tie in with some sort of media released in the same. Harry Potter was based on the first movieC The first wave of Marvel sets (I was referring to superheroes rather than Spider-Man) was mostly based on the Avengers, which released that year. (But even then Spider-Man was released the same year as the sets). Jurassic World was based on Jurassic World, released the same year. Star Wars was done for the Phantom Menace etc. Of course I know that those franchises started way before then, but someone asked Lego-freak for clarification on the ‘metrics at play’ Quote
SpiderJazz Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 https://www.promobricks.de/lego-75810-stranger-things-erstes-bild/80004 First look. PS. You're welcome The official announcement from LEGO Stranger Things has surprised many fans. There will be a midnight shopping event on May 15, 2019 at the LEGO flagship store in London. There is not yet a picture of the set, but there is a preview image released by LEGO, which retailers can use in their online shop - and which can already be found in the Lucky Bricks web shop. The picture shows the two minifigures of Dustin Henderson and the demons prince Demogorgon. Quote
Falconfan1414 Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 Love the new hair hat combo for Dustin Quote
Balrogofmorgoth Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 Those two minifigs look amazing! And we’re getting even more medium legs!!! Quote

I'll say, both figures are looking pretty good, though I was expecting the Demogorgon to have a headpiece more akin to Series 18's Flower Pot Girl CMF. Oh yeah, Dustin's looking great too, as they did a nice job with his hat/hair combo! Quote

Foxes Productionz Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 (edited) OH MY BRICKS!! Dustin looks absolutely perfect (totally called the new hair/hat combo). The Demogorgan looks great as well, kinda wish that he had used a body piece similar to that of General Grievous, as it is much taller than any other human on the show, but Beggars can't be choosers. I honestly cannot wait to see the final set! Edit: So apparently the set will only have 8 minifigures [ So possibly Dustin, Demogorgan, Will, Mike, Lucas, El, Joyce and Hopper? ] Edited April 30, 2019 by Foxes Productionz Quote

You’re most likely right with those guesses. I was really hoping for some other major characters like Steve, Jonathan, and Nancy Quote

Whovastron Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 (edited) YES any news on a Uk price? Edited April 30, 2019 by Whovastron Quote
TOTDForever Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 If we don't get Nancy as a minifig we are boycotting boys ? Quote
BrickBob Studpants Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 Wow, those two look amazing! Quite generous of them to include (at least) two new moulds in a D2C It’s also interesting to see how close the Demogorgon is to Just2good & AshnFlash’s design in their CMF draft, down to the leg piece Quote
Blondie-Wan Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 Well... wow. There it is. Somehow, I still can’t quite believe this is happening, even though I’m now sure it is. Quote

Between Nancy, Steve, and Jonathan I honestly cant decide who I would rather riot over not getting. Probably Steve because he’s my second favorite character after Hopper. But then I would riot over Nancy Quote

JadedSpade_ Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 I still cannot believe this is real, lol. Quote
BrickBob Studpants Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 (edited) @Puresh is very silent... Still trying to find a loophole (good luck with that) or trying to find a fitting condiment? Edited April 30, 2019 by Lego-Freak Quote
LegoFjotten Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 Those figs are awesome! Really looking forward to seeing the set! I won't be too bummed if 8 figures turns out to be correct, but I do hope Hopper is among them. Almost done rewatching both seasons to warm up for the reveal... Quote

legoSDR Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 I love that LEGO are doing this. I'm pretty sure this will be the first ever licensed theme of a franchise that isn't for kids? Maybe it will pave the way for more themes of teen/adult franchises. I'd never hold out hope for a GoT or TWD theme, but this is at least a nice step in that direction. I understand why they'd do Stranger Things despite it not being suitable for kids; the show has a lot of elements borrowed from classic 80s films and TV shows and I think they're aware that a lot of people of all ages watch it, despite its age rating. I suppose they've made it 16+ to cover their own backs Quote
TOTDForever Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 (edited) So the minifigs are joyce, hopper, the demigorgan, and the 5 kids Also I hope we get a print/sticker piece of the evil dead poster, that would be awesome. (It hangs up in johnathens room) Edited April 30, 2019 by TOTDForever Quote
doclord Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 I'm glad the Harry Potter medium-legs are going to be a common thing from now on. Quote
summicron Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 Recent ... I can't help but feel LEGO is not printing light flesh colour for the neck part in torso assemblies. Quote
