We all love a villain, and Stranger Things has one of the best with Vecna.
Be warned, spoilers ahead if you've not watched any of the show!
Before he was Vecna, he was Henry Creel, and fans of Stranger Things will be very familiar with the creepy Creel House.
A new set is coming to LEGO, featuring the iconic abode of one of the greatest TV villains.
There are several different build options, to have the home looking as pristine as it did in happier times, or build it with the boarded up windows and spooky touches from the showdown with Vecna.
It also comes with Steve’s car, the WSQK radio van and Will’s bicycle, plus a whopping 13 minifigure characters: Will, Mike, Lucas, Dustin, Vecna, Mr. Whatsit, Holly, Steve, Nancy, Robin, Jonathan, Max and Eleven.
However, fans are divided over the fact some fan favourite characters come as a GWP (Gift With Purchase) smaller kit.
Joyce Byers and Sheriff Hopper star in the WSQK radio station set, along with a retro DJ booth, tape machine, record player and microphone.
Disgruntled fans are annoyed that they can't purchase this set alone.
"The type of GwP that genuinely takes things way too far," fumed one, as another added: "It’s basically the new 3 in 1 haunted house with a couple cars and a bunch of mini figs."
"I just hate the way Lego is going with sets they know will be high demand always get exclusive GWP’s," added another, while one confessed of the Creel House: "I’d love to wait for this to go on sale but I actually want the GWP so I guess it’s day one."
"Damn, another GWP that I would’ve happily purchased as a standalone. I seriously don’t get why all of Lego’s best small builds are locked behind huge sets. Are there really people who are buying these $300+ sets because of the GWP?," quizzed one critic.
"Only complaints I have are the lack of a Demogorgon and Joyce and Hopper being stuck in a GWP" mused one fan.
Not everyone was unhappy though: "I actually really like it. I have always regretted not getting the first set, but honestly this one is more up my alley anyway as a “haunted house” (sorta). It would have been cool to have both the first and final season sets, like bookends, but getting this one is better than nothing."
"It's a must have for me, love the series, and can't wait for the final half of the season!"
The Creel House will be available to buy from January 4, not long after the final part of the series has been released.
It contains 2,593 pieces, and features seven furnished spaces including the hallway, dining room, sitting room, Alice’s and Henry’s bedrooms, the iconic upstairs landing and two attic spaces.
Want to make sure you've got the space for it? It measures up at over 29 cm (11.5 in.) high, 50 cm (20 in.) wide and 17 cm (7 in.) deep.
A must have for Stranger Things fans.
