Stranger Things Lego: Get close up to the Upside Down
Take a closer look at the new Lego set based on Netflix hit Stranger Things.
Stranger Things Lego
Welcome to Hawkins, Indiana -- where Stranger Things are happening. The hit show has now been immortalized in brick form in the first Netflix-themed Lego set, which has the unusual feature of being able to flip over and stand either way up. One side is the Byers house from the show, and the other is a dark mirror image -- the creepy parallel dimension known as the Upside Down. Let's take a closer look...

Of course the Stranger Things gang are here too.

The set is designed to be built by two people, with two sets of instructions so you can work side by side.

When you're done, the two halves of the set clip securely together.

Sheriff Hopper shows up in his Chevrolet Blazer police cruiser. You can drive it around separately, or fix it in place so it stays parked even when you flip the set upside down.

Look at the detail on the drawing Joyce holds. The set is full of such nifty detail, including missing persons flyers and posters on the wall.

The living room boasts an alphabet wall of fairy lights that Joyce used to communicate with her missing son -- and it really lights up thanks to a light brick mounted in the ceiling.

Details include this Jaws-inspired poster and of course the classic 1980s phone.
