The lego stranger things community received a major confirmed update today as LEGO officially announced the Icons Stranger Things: The Creel House (11370). The set includes 2,593 pieces, features 13 minifigures, and is priced at $299.99. It will launch for LEGO Insiders on January 1, 2026, with a wider U.S. release on January 4, 2026. This marks the largest Stranger Things LEGO model since the 2019 Upside Down set and arrives just after the final season of the show concludes on December 31, 2025.
A closer look at the new Stranger Things: The Creel House model
The Creel House serves as a central location in the later seasons of the series, which makes it an ideal subject for a modern display set. The detailed model includes a removable back section that reveals multiple rooms, including the attic, bedrooms, and the dining area. It also features a Vecna-inspired mind lair that adds a darker element for fans of the final storyline.
Key details confirmed by LEGO include:
- Set number: 11370
- Piece count: 2,593
- Price: $299.99
- Release dates: Jan. 1 (Insiders) and Jan. 4 (general retail)
- Minifigures: 13, including major Hawkins characters and key antagonists
- Display focus with dual-ended design elements representing the show’s supernatural themes
Why this release matters for collectors
The Upside Down set from 2019 has since retired and gained significant value among collectors. With the Creel House arriving at a similar scale but reflecting the later seasons’ storyline, many expect strong demand once again. The final season of Stranger Things is rolling out across late November and December, setting the stage for intense fan interest leading into the new year.
Collectors have noted that large TV-themed LEGO builds often appreciate after retirement, especially when tied to major streaming franchises. Given the timing, the Creel House aligns immediately with the conclusion of the Stranger Things series.
Included characters and build highlights
The 13 minifigures featured in the set cover a broad range of characters, representing both the young protagonists and central villains. The model’s interior layout includes Easter eggs and scene references from different episodes, giving builders a layered, story-driven experience.
Highlights from the build include:
- A full interior across multiple floors
- The attic and living areas recreated with TV-accurate detail
- A Vecna mind-lair section
- Accessories and props tied to recognizable scenes
- Vehicles such as Steve’s car and a radio news van
- A stable, display-oriented structure designed for shelf presentation
Early purchase bonus for fans
LEGO will offer a promotional gift with purchase — a WSQK Radio Station mini build — for those who buy the set during the first week of its release window. This bonus is expected to be available while supplies last and is designed to complement the Creel House display.
How this set compares to earlier Stranger Things LEGO releases
Before the Creel House, LEGO’s major releases for the franchise included:
- The Upside Down (75810), released in 2019 and now retired
- The Demogorgon & Eleven BrickHeadz duo
- Additional small promotional models during previous seasons
The Creel House takes a more mature design approach, offering more pieces, a deeper story reference, and multiple character representations from across the season-five arc.
Buying advice for U.S. shoppers
Fans who want the earliest possible access should consider joining the LEGO Insiders program before the January 1 opening. The general public will see the set available online and in stores beginning January 4. If previous launches are an indicator, the first wave may sell out quickly.
Here are a few tips before purchasing:
- Mark both release dates, especially if you prefer early access.
- Expect the set to remain exclusive to LEGO channels during its initial rollout.
- Consider grabbing the gift-with-purchase during week one if you value collector bonuses.
- Store-exclusive sets often see restocks, but early units tend to move fast.
