LEGO Stranger Things "The Upside Down" Set Revealed (75810)
- Thread starter A Ream of Paper
- Start date
I think it looks hella cool. Probably try to get it next month (and it'll be my only "for fun" purchase with that price tag), hopefully giving enough time for some build videos to come out.
Things cost money, you know?
And it isn't like a little thing you put on your shelf. At a foot tall and almost a foot & half wide, it takes up space. Yes, the trees create dead space but it is still a large footprint.
Lego's actual value hasn't changed that much, it's more or less 10 cents a piece, but.....
..... therein lies the rub. The pieces keep getting smaller and smaller, which is amazing for detail, texture, and custom builds. But it does make the sets seem less impactful for their prices. The Stranger Things set doesn't have the impact of some of the older modulars and stuff that were a similar price, but the piece count is there.

Nope :( I hope we get him in a CMF series or another set down the line if this does well.
I suspect Netflix has underestimated the draw of redeemed Steve.
First season Steve, no one would have cared if he got offed. Dude could have had Barb's fate and he might have got a shrug.
Season two Steve was a badass older friend to the kids. True redemption arc, esp with his line about being a better babysitter.
While I agree that it isn't cheap, that's pretty much the standard price for a Lego set of this size.
Undeniably remarkable set for fans of the show. Seeing the video helps visualize how this works. It would actually be cool if they sold the stand alone sign + minifigs of the kids for quite a bit cheaper as a display piece on it's own, haha. That pricepoint for the whole thing would definitely eat into the wallet. But well done totally.
Price per brick is lower than it's ever been. Inflation is a thing.
I'm sure the price makes sense if you do the math this way but $200 sticker shock is a thing. Video game consoles hit their stride when they get discounted to this price lol.
Impressive, and very creative. Can't really pay that price, specially when it'll probably cost 320 usd in my country.
On a long enough curve.... (Lol) Whatever, $200 is too much for a showpiece of any kind, have at it collectors. Pour that money down the drain!
I got my kid a ninjago movie 1500 piece set and I think MSRP was 99.00 (bought on sale for 69.99). So that seems right.
Lego toys are the best though. Far more durable than other toys out there. They will last. Same with Dulpo.
Edit: I went to Comicpolooza this weekend. Minifigs were being sold from like 3 to 5 dollars each. And if you got more you got a discount.
I got like 18 figurines for 60 bucks. Seems crazy but if you wanted all those figures with sets the price would be astronomical.
I don't know if they were all Lego to be honest though. I saw Mega Man, Mario, Sonic, and DBZ figures. I feel like those have never been officially licensed by Lego.

Ignorance and condescension won't earn you any cool points in this thread. Don't be a douchebag.
I'm not hurling insults to anyone directly over this over priced hunk of consumer show piece junk from a show that frankly isn't all that great beyond the nostalgia factor which I'm a bit to young to get.
Those made by China Bootlegs Company.
They Also made Game of Thrones minifig Which Lego never do that.
Please don't PM me and reply here, too. You're insulting people and being condescending. If you don't care to be called out on it, go somewhere else or fight the urge to reply in the thread.
My wife has the PEZ set. We thought about getting this, but then realize we couldn't exclude our kid from the fun...still too young to watch the show though.
Very creative idea with the trees being the stands, but unlike some other licensed Lego sets there's not all that much in the way of story moments here. A decent Lego display piece, though!

You've got some self awareness issues if you don't see the problem with this reply. It's also not the first reply that gives this impression too.
