The first LEGO set of 2026 is the perfect capstone for this beloved IP’s upcoming finale

One of the perks of collecting LEGO sets is that the company typically announces which kind of kits will be released the following year beforehand, so if you’re looking for something specific, you can save up for when it does come out. Even then, though, some crossover sets, larger kits, or collectors’ editions tend to be very pricey, and they’re not for everyone. This is the case for the upcoming Stranger Things LEGO set launching on January 1, 2026, just after the big Stranger Things finale on December 31, 2025.
