Among the new LEGO products, we sometimes find totally unexpected sets. This is the case this time with a novelty that no one anticipated. And yet…
LEGO recently announced the addition of two new sets to its LEGO Ideas collection: a botanical garden and a set from a franchise that no one expected to see. Far from Harry Potter, Star Wars, Marvel or even Sonic we often talk to you. Excellent news for vampire lovers. It is the least we can say. See instead.
LEGO presents an unexpected set
For the first time, more than 70 projects reached the required threshold of 10,000 supporters, requiring rigorous selection by the LEGO team. Among a multitude of original ideas and kits inspired by popular licenses, such as Studio Ghibli films, Dreamworks characters, or even famous electronic music creators, two projects were finally selected. A botanical garden and the Cullen house, from the Twilight saga.
The Cullens’ house in the Twilight films is iconic and plays a central role in the series. Located in the wooded area of Forks, Washington, this house is the residence of the Cullen family. This is where one of the main characters lives: Edward Cullen.
A cult film location
In an interview with the competition winner, it was revealed that the design had to meet a limit of 3,000 pieces while still incorporating essential elements such as the staircase, piano, Edward’s bedroom, kitchen and library . The exact number of pieces in the final product as well as the characters included in the set remain unknown. So far, the confirmed characters are Edward, Bella, Jacob and Carlisle.
In the films, the Cullens’ house is a sleek, modern structure, notable for its contemporary design. It features large glass windows, offering stunning views of the surrounding forest. This architecture is designed to blend into the natural landscape, while reflecting the refined and sophisticated taste of the family. This is also what the author Stephenie Meyer specifies. The Cullens’ house is the scene of several key moments in the Twilight films. It serves as a place for family reunions, defense strategies against various threats, and intimate moments between characters.
