LEGO Officially Reveals Stranger Things Set 75810 The Upside Down, Available Tomorrow For VIPs

Well, it finally happened. Today at midnight local time at Leicester Square in London, LEGO pulled the wraps off of its newest and adult-oriented D2C set, 75810 The Upside Down based on the hit Netflix series Stranger Things. Price is just about what I thought it would be, $199.99 USD. And for that you get 2,287 pieces eight minifigures which includes a pretty awesome looking Demogorgon.

Now, I know the box shot was out there already , but it’s a bit hard to tell what exactly was going on. Do you build both houses? And do you build them at the same time? Looking back, the answer is yes to both of those questions, but I honestly never thought you’d build them on top of each other. I thought maybe you’d build them separately and that the box shot was just a photoshop job to make it look like a mirror image, much like the Princess Bride DVD cover art:

You can flip that cover upside down and get the virtually the same image. The masterpiece about that cover is that the title is readable both ways. I thought that was what the box for The Upside Down set was going to be like. And it is… just not one gigantic MOC.

And if this lifestyle pictures is to be believed, I guess you’re supposed to stand it up on the tops of the upside down trees:

That seems awfully unstable. Like, really, REALLy unstable.

My favorite bit? The custom light brick to simulate the Christmas lights.

LEGO Stranger Things 75810 The Upside Down goes on sale on June 1st, 2019 but VIP Members can purchase this set starting TOMORROW! LEGO already has a page up for it!
