Among the new LEGO products we sometimes find completely unexpected sets. This time this is the case with a novelty that no one expected. 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 no one expected. We often talk to you far away from Harry Potter, Star Wars, Marvel or even Sonic. Excellent news for vampire lovers. That’s 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 backers, requiring rigorous selection by the LEGO team. Two projects were ultimately selected from a variety of original ideas and kits inspired by popular licenses such as Studio Ghibli films, Dreamworks characters or even famous electronic music creators. A botanical garden and the Cullen house from the Twilight saga.
The Cullen house in the Twilight films is iconic and plays a central role in the series. Located in the wooded area of Forks, Washington, this home is the home of the Cullen family. One of the main characters lives here: Edward Cullen.
A cult film location
In an interview with the competition winner, it was revealed that the design had to adhere to 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 of the final product and the characters included in the set remain unknown. So far the confirmed characters are Edward, Bella, Jacob and Carlisle.
In the films, the Cullens’ home is an elegant, modern building characterized by its contemporary design. It features large glass windows and offers breathtaking views of the surrounding forest. This architecture is designed to blend into the natural landscape while reflecting the family’s refined and sophisticated taste. The author Stephenie Meyer also explains this more precisely. The Cullen home is the setting for 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.
