Twilight LEGO Set Revealed: A+ References But One Major Omission

Twilight devotees, the moment has arrived! After approximately a year since the announcement of the Twilight LEGO set, it is now available for pre-order. Being an ardent fan of the vampire series, the captivating 2,001-piece set, showcasing the legendary Cullen House, has me quite excited. However, let’s delve a bit deeper into my thoughts about this $220 LEGO product.

The Twilight LEGO Set Is Here, And I’m Obsessed For So Many Reasons

I must confess, I haven’t bought the LEGO set which is currently on sale, but I find it incredibly hard not to buy it because of its stunning design. The glass house model isn’t just visually appealing, reminiscent of the movies, but it also contains numerous intricate details that reference the Twilight film series. These elements make me eager to gather friends for a building session and rewatch the Twilight saga… once more.

A LEGO piano stands, with Edward Cullen seemingly playing “Bella’s Lullaby” on it, accompanied by a collage of graduation caps near the staircase. The kitchen is brimming with supplies for an Italian meal, and a baseball cap commemorates the iconic movie scene in the living room. Bella’s red pickup truck adds a nice touch to this setting, while a tree serves as a reminder of when Edward said, “Hold on tight, spider monkey.

Experiencing the variations between the Twilight books and movies is always thrilling, but now fans can actively participate in rebuilding the Cullen house brick by brick. This set even comes with miniature figures (minifigs) representing Bella Swan, Edward Cullen, Charlie Swan, Alice Cullen, Rosalie Hale, Carlisle Cullen, and Jacob Black. Notably, Jacob can be customized with either long or short hair, and a LEGO werewolf is also included for construction.

However, I Have An Issue With It (Aside From The Price Tag)

As a passionate film enthusiast and LEGO collector, let me express my observations. Frankly, LEGO can be an expensive pastime. For instance, many of the LEGO Star Wars sets, like the Venator-Class Republic Attack Cruiser priced at $650 or the Millennium Falcon at $850, can put a dent in one’s wallet. Granted, even the Twilight set is a luxury for most, but what truly irks me is the absence of certain minifigs in these sets.

It’s clear to devoted Twilight enthusiasts that characters like Emmett Cullen, Jasper Hale, and Esme Cullen are missing from the set. One can only imagine the feelings of the Twilight cast regarding this situation! Given the significance of these characters in the Cullen family, it seems strange to have the Cullen house without all the Cullens present. Even though Jacob and Bella’s father were essential additions, it feels incomplete without the full Cullen family presence.

Go ahead and pre-order the LEGO set now, which will be shipped starting February 1. In the meantime, feel free to explore how you can stream the Twilight films right here on TopMob.
