All LEGOs are for girls (and young women), whether they like purple and princesses or want to build a miniature Death Star. Girls who love playing pretend, acting out stories, and building kits that come with figurines have never had so many to choose from. From the Friends line to the Frozen sets to creative builds like jewelry boxes or horse stables, there have never been so many Lego sets aimed toward the many interests of girls.

It’s a time-consuming, fulfilling project that you finished, but not something you’d want to do every day. Good rainy day project or hot summer day entertainment.”

Fans of the 80’s throwback favorite Stranger Things will love this intensely thematic set. Eight minifigures and a generous part count make this a great choice for a family build. Complex enough for adults and older children, there are so many options for pretend play that younger kiddos will also have a ton of fun.
Review Highlights
“This Lego set is the coolest one I have ever built, but also one of the hardest. As soon as I saw that a house was upside down, I knew I had to get it not only as a fan of the show but also a Lego fan. The details put into both the normal house and the upside down house are amazing and really excited me. The figurines are awesome also, especially the Dustin one. It looks exactly like the actor.”
