The first LEGO set of 2026 is the perfect capstone for this beloved IP’s upcoming finale

By newsgame

LEGO is about to start 2026 with a bang, thanks to a plethora of new sets of all sizes and for all fans of the iconic bricks. From Harry Potter to Spider-Man, including the likes of LEGO Minecraft and classic City pieces, there is a tidal wave of new releases coming next year. LEGO is one of those things that everyone has likely interacted with in some way, be it receiving gift sets while growing up, collecting beloved IPs’ new crossovers with the brick-building brand, playing the many LEGO video game versions of existing IPs, or even using the infamous “stepping on LEGO” incident as a meme. Now, the first set of 2026 will be dedicated to a popular TV show, just after its finale airs.

One of the perks of collecting LEGO sets is that the company typically announces which kind of kits will be released the following year beforehand, so if you’re looking for something specific, you can save up for when it does come out. Even then, though, some crossover sets, larger kits, or collectors’ editions tend to be very pricey, and they’re not for everyone. This is the case for the upcoming Stranger Things LEGO set launching on January 1, 2026, just after the big Stranger Things finale on December 31, 2025.

LEGO’s Stranger Things 2026 Set Officially Marks The End of an Era

Stranger Things Season 5 premiered on November 26 this year, but only the first half of the final season of the show came out. For the second half, fans will have to wait for Christmas Day, December 25, and only see the hyped-up finale on December 31. There is a lot of chatter surrounding what could happen to the cast in the final few episodes, between theories about Mike and Will becoming a couple and some fan-favorite characters like Steve, Nancy, and Robin potentially meeting their demise.

Regardless of how the story ends, LEGO celebrates Stranger Things‘ earlier days with a set called The Creel House, a location that first appeared in the show in Season 4, when the Hawkins gang was investigating the origins of Vecna, stumbling upon the story of Henry Creel. Still, The Creel House LEGO set is entirely based on the Season 5 version of the location, the LEGO figures pack their respective characters’ S5 outfits and items, and the set also features Vecna for the first time in the franchise’s history with the brand. With this being a celebration of past seasons as much as the final one, it’s a big draw for Stranger Things fans who will be mourning the show one way or the other when 2026 begins, as the kit comes right after the finale.

LEGO’s Stranger Things: The Creel House set comes out on January 1 with LEGO Insider Early Access.

What to Expect From LEGO’s Stranger Things: The Creel House Set

The set includes a whopping total of 2593 pieces and 13 LEGO minifigures, and while it’s spectacular, it also comes with a $300 price tag. The Creel House set includes:

A replica of Creel House’s facade as well as interiors. The house can be opened up to show its various secrets.

LEGO’s The Creel House Stranger Things Set Comes With a Big Free Bonus, But You Have to Act Fast

If you’re a Stranger Things fan, purchasing this set when it launches may be your best bet for two key reasons: first, if it sells out, it will inevitably become more expensive, and second, it comes with a huge free bonus when purchased on the LEGO website – the Stranger Things: WSQK Radio Station set. This is completely free, and it cannot be purchased separately, but it will only be given out for a limited time.

What’s Inside The Stranger Things: WSQK Radio Station LEGO Set

The Stranger Things: WSQK Radio Station set is much smaller, at 234 pieces total and 2 minifigures. It depicts the radio station from the series, complete with a DJ booth, the ON AIR sign, a mixer, a record player, and a tape machine, while also including the couch area of the Stranger Things location. Finally, it also includes a minifigure dedicated to both Hopper and Joyce.

More LEGO x Stranger Things Set in 2026

On top of all that, there is yet another Stranger Things LEGO set coming next year on January 1. This is a BrickHeadz set costing $39.99 for four characters: Eleven, Max, Holly, and a Demogorgon from Stranger Things.
