As the highly anticipated fifth and concluding season of “Stranger Things” approaches, Lego marks the occasion with the release of new BrickHeadz figures featuring the show`s core characters. This collection, available from October 1st, includes four buildable models of Mike Wheeler, Dustin Henderson, Lucas Sinclair, and Will Byers. These figures are currently available for preorder at $40 exclusively through the Lego online store and are expected to be highly sought-after collector`s items.
Consistent with the BrickHeadz line, the “Stranger Things” set transforms the characters, including their distinctive 1980s attire, into charming, block-style figures. Each character model comes with a stable display base and specific accessories, such as a walkie-talkie for Mike, a headset for Dustin, and a slingshot and binoculars for Lucas. These BrickHeadz are exclusively available for preorder from Lego, as such sets are rarely stocked by other retailers.
This marks only the second “Stranger Things”-themed Lego release. Previously, “The Upside Down” Lego playset was available but has since sold out. Therefore, for fans eager to expand their “Stranger Things” Lego collection, securing these new BrickHeadz is highly recommended due to their likely popularity.

This collection compiles the Duffer Brothers` screenplays for the first four seasons into separate volumes. Volumes 1 and 2 are scheduled for release on September 2nd, with Volumes 3 and 4 following on December 9th. All four paperback editions can be preordered for $30 each.
More New Lego Set Preorders
The “Stranger Things” set is among several new Lego products unveiled in anticipation of San Diego Comic-Con. A particularly noteworthy addition is the Nintendo Game Boy replica, a 421-piece display model that faithfully recreates the iconic handheld console. Beyond its authentic appearance, it includes functional A/B, D-pad, and Start/Select buttons, alongside interchangeable game cartridges inspired by “Super Mario Land” and “The Legend of Zelda: Link`s Awakening.” The Lego Nintendo Game Boy is set to release on October 1st and is available for preorder at $60.
Meanwhile, Lego Batman is also making a significant comeback in Gotham City. Enthusiasts of the Dark Knight can anticipate a substantial 2,953-piece Arkham Asylum set, depicting the infamous psychiatric facility housing many of Batman`s arch-nemeses. This intricate model boasts 16 minifigures and a modular construction, offering an engaging multi-day building experience akin to an advent calendar. This premium set, priced at $300, will be initially available to Lego Insiders members on September 9th, followed by a broader release on September 12th.
Additionally, seven new Lego sets inspired by “Wicked: For Good” will be released on September 1st. These include prominent display pieces like the Emerald City Wall Art set, alongside playsets such as Glinda`s Wedding and Munchkinland. Further details on these new pre-orderable sets can be found.
