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

by

LEGO is gearing up for a huge 2026 with a wide range of new sets designed for all types of fans. Whether you love Harry Potter, Spider-Man, Minecraft, or the classic City sets, there’s a lot to look forward to. Most people have experienced LEGO in some way – perhaps through childhood gifts, collecting sets based on popular franchises, playing LEGO video games, or even the infamous pain of stepping on a brick! The first LEGO set of 2026 will be based on a popular TV show, released shortly after the show’s final episode.

A great thing about collecting LEGO is that the company usually gives a preview of the next year’s sets, letting you plan and save for the ones you want. However, some sets – especially big collaborations, large builds, or special editions – can be quite expensive and aren’t within everyone’s budget. The upcoming LEGO Stranger Things set, releasing on January 1, 2026, right after the show’s final episode on December 31, 2025, is a good example of this.

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

The fifth and final season of Stranger Things began streaming on November 26th, but only the first part is currently available. Fans will need to wait until December 25th for the rest of the season, with the very last episode arriving on December 31st. There’s a lot of discussion online about what will happen to the characters, including speculation about a romance between Mike and Will, and concerns that popular characters like Steve, Nancy, and Robin might not survive.

LEGO is honoring the earlier seasons of Stranger Things with a new set called The Creel House. This location played a key role in Season 4 when the characters investigated Vecna’s origins and discovered the story of Henry Creel. Interestingly, the LEGO set is designed after the Season 5 version of the house, and includes updated outfits and accessories for the minifigures. It also marks the first time Vecna has been included in a LEGO Stranger Things set. Released shortly after the show’s finale and anticipating fan reactions as the series concludes in 2026, this set is a nostalgic tribute to everything Stranger Things.

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

This impressive LEGO set contains a massive 2593 pieces and 13 minifigures, but it costs $300. Here’s what’s included in the Creel House set:

  • A replica of Creel House’s facade as well as interiors. The house can be opened up to show its various secrets.
  • Steve’s car
  • The WSQK radio van
  • Will’s bicycle
  • A minifigure dedicated to the following characters:
    • Mike
    • Will
    • Lucas
    • Dustin
    • Eleven
    • Steve
    • Nancy
    • Johnatan
    • Max
    • Robin
    • Holly
    • Vecna
    • Mr. Whatsit

Although $300 is a significant amount of money, many LEGO sets are quite expensive, and the new Zelda set is expected to be even pricier.

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

If you love Stranger Things, getting this LEGO set as soon as it’s released is a smart idea for a couple of reasons. First, it’s likely to sell out and become harder to find (and more expensive) later. Second, if you buy it directly from the LEGO website, you’ll receive a special bonus: the Stranger Things WSQK Radio Station set – completely free! This bonus set isn’t sold separately and is only available for a limited time.

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

The Stranger Things: WSQK Radio Station LEGO set has 234 pieces and includes 2 minifigures. It recreates the radio station from the show, featuring details like a DJ booth, an ‘ON AIR’ sign, a mixer, a record player, and a tape machine. The set also includes a seating area inspired by the show’s location, and a single minifigure that represents both Hopper and Joyce.
