In perhaps one of the worst-kept LEGO secrets in recent memory (there were photos of this set all over social media since early December) it has today officially been announced that a Twilight The Cullen House LEGO set would be released.
Minus the bright shining glittery lights this LEGO set marks the first-ever Twilight-inspired set which will allow Twi-hards to create this wonderful model of the iconic Cullen family home.
The home is stylish modern architecture as fans can build this three-story residence and its intricate interior.
Users submit ideas through the LEGO Ideas programme which are then have the potential to be turned into commercially available sets and this was yet another one of those chosen ideas.
I’m always curious as to how that works. I hope that whoever submits the idea or builds the actual sets (like the Jaws LEGO set for example) get heavily compensated or earn a % of the unit sales.
That’s only fair, right?
Consisting of 2001 pieces the set also includes seven minifigures, including Bella Swan, Edward Cullen (with a dazzling sparkle effect), and Jacob Black, who also appears in his wolf form.
Builders can enhance the drama with Bella’s iconic red truck and a towering tree perfect for Edward and Bella’s unforgettable treetop moments. The model house has familiar features for fans to delight in, such as a grand piano in the living room and planters on the balcony.
It’s certainly an eye-catching piece and really does look the part of ‘vampire chic’ and fans won’t have long to wait to get their hands on the set with a February 4th, 2025 release date announced.
The set is priced at €219.99 / £189.99 / $219.99.
Dimensions: W: 37cm L: 18cm H: 21cm
The new LEGO set was designed by California-based LEGO fan Nick Micheels, as part of the LEGO Ideas programme. Once designed, 10,000 people voted for it to be made into a real set.
This idea took less than 48 hours to make it to 10,000 votes – one of the fastest 10,000 submissions to date!
Talking about his design, Nick said:
The amazing submissions on the LEGO Ideas site that demonstrated how dynamic the LEGO system is inspired me to submit my own idea.” and “I decided to create a Twilight build because I’m a massive fan of the saga, and imagining a LEGO interpretation of the films made me so happy!
Debbie Olshan, Director of Consumer Products at Lionsgate said:
We’re thrilled for the beloved Twilight brand to cross over into the world of LEGO. Designed by and created for fans, this collaboration allows us to expand The Twilight Saga fandom in new ways.
The Twilight Saga is one of the most successful young adult film franchises of all time. The five films (Twilight, The Twilight Saga: New Moon, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse and The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Parts 1 & 2) have grossed more than $3.3 billion at the worldwide box office.
The films were adapted from Twilight creator Stephenie Meyer’s acclaimed series of books that won multiple awards, sold over 160 million copies worldwide and were translated into 49 different languages.
Lionsgate’s TV adaptation of Stephenie Meyer’s novel “Midnight Sun” has been picked up to series at Netflix.
