We're one step closer to the timeline being completely in LEGO form... ??

I don't sense an intense YEARNING over this...

who asked for this lol

get rid of all that brown, and this could be a Friends set.

This'll take a 50%+ discount like 21339, 10291 and 10391 to even be worth considering.

The wolf is hilarious at least.

Oh that's why I didn't remember this was even an idea under review.

Like the design, but it'd have to hit $100 for me to want it. It's a bit too large to fit in with modulars (as a house, at least) so it'd require redesign, but the parts would be great.

I like it as a house, and I feel I should have been a fan of Twilight, given I am of Buffy and ADoW - which mostly had the same end game - but I never managed to get into it. I think the actors put me off. Then I was never a fan of Vampire Diaries either.

This is where you question Ideas as a theme, because this doesn't feel as a good set linked to a book/film series. Bricklink has become a better Ideas based format, because it chooses at least five out of loads of submissions and fills a gap in Lego market. This seems outdated, but then maybe someone is planning a TV series revival....

Wow that is one ugly house and a bunch of unhappy minifigs.

Well, it's here. From those movies. And I don't know what to make of it, beyond that it releasing now is kind of ridiculous (where relevance?).

The interior is sorely lacking in basic house functionalities like any sort of bathroom or bedchamber (granted, so did the original Idea submission but still).
The exterior on the other hand looks fantastic (and I'm saying this as someone who could'nt care less for the license).
I jumped on the Simpsons house because it was one of the first "full" house LEGO ever produced (even though I don't really have any connexion to that license either) but here I'll pass... LEGO has gotten me used to better standards in housing features (see Ghostbusters HQ, Treehouse etc...)

More interesting? Perhaps, yes, but project the price for 2995 pieces and you're looking at 330€. Who's going to buy that? I think the simplifications are justified in this case. Even then, 220€ is outside my budget...

I smell cap

A quite appealing, well built house but, having never heard of Twilight, it has zero 'iconic' appeal to me.
Definitely one that might go on my lengthy wishlist as a good looking building, and quietly drop off the end when it retires.

Great idea! 15 years too late.

surprised the wolf is brick built and not a different print of the new wolf mold from the latest CMF

"The Queer Eye set wasn't Ideas, was it?"

Oops, your right, it was Icons. Brain blip there. Could replace it with the Seinfeld set though... again, got voted but ended up a shelf warmer despite its argueably bigger audience.

"And I think the first Friends set 21319 did fine, it was the apartments that didn't."

I remember both sets being set on store shelfs here for months with no-one buying them, but fair point it probably wasn't the same everywhere.

"Nitpicking aside, I suspect this isn't IP that will translate well to a lot of sales, but maybe being a house and not an open plan TV set will help it out."

As said, reading around, seems to be most interest in it is because of the house rather then the theme.

Looks good, but I do agree that its about a decade to late. This is in contrast to rejected sets from the same review period (two Shrek sets, Godzilla, Daft Punk, Monsters Inc, Portal 2, and ET) that currently have more fans willing to drop $219.99 on a set compared to Twilight.

As others have said, I feel like Twilight was more a fad than other projects that have come out. Stuff like The Office and Seinfeld obviously came out well after the shows were over, but they still have a following and are popular to this day. I don’t know how popular Twilight is anymore, and if anyone that was a fan are still interested. As for the fact that 10,000 voted for it; yeah, but does that mean all of those people actually want to buy the set? It’s an issue inherent with the voting platform. People will vote for a set simply because they think it’s cool or to support a subject, not necessarily because they will buy it. I’m sure Lego knows this though.

Looks nice, but nothing special. I can make something like that myself. Only interesting thing is the pick-up truck. I will spend my money on much more interesting sets.

Not for me, but clearly for others and that’s cool. If I recall correctly the project hit 10k votes pretty quickly. So if that is any indication it might sell fairly well.

The piano build is excellent!

I _need_ to see the Edward sparkle effect in action.

They should make two versions of this set: One with Sparkly Vampire branding, and one without. I wouldn't be surprised if the one without would sell better....

The weird thing is, I have seen some of the movies (only the first three I think, even I have my limits when it comes to crap movies), but on it's own there's hardly anything that would make me connect this house to those movies. In that regard it feels like a weird choice. Didn't the movies have something more iconic to offer?

On it's own it seems like a decent house, even when it's clearly a step down from the fan design. And I quite like that pickup truck! That price though....I have a feeling this will be another one of those sets you'll never gonna see in stores without a good discount.

For those who want this, enjoy. I have no interest. Truck is ok.

https://brickset.com/sets/71048-2/Wolfpack-Beastmaster"

Twilight werewolves are big - much larger than humans or real wolves. No way to do that except brick-built. (Picky fans may still complain - Jacob cut his hair short when he went wolfy.)

Even though I am not interested in the Twilight series, the house looks perfect and fits the city theme too, but it's from Twilight. lol

House is meh, especially when compared to the real Hoke House, but I love the truck and the wolf - I love his little slippers...

I will have to pick this up sometime. The movies are funny because of how terrible they are. Give them a watch!

But the LEGO set is lacking some more trees I think. Thankfully they look easy to replicate, but they are in Washington, need more trees...

Hopefully it will go on sale, but I'll likely have to pick it up full price before it disappears.

Generally think it's too expensive for non-AFOLs.

For Twilight fans the questions would be:
- Do you want Twilight Lego? Yes.
- Would you spend over $200 on a Twilight Lego set? No.

Perhaps they're modelling this on Home Alone, but the cross-over between Home Alone fans and AFOLs is strong.

Personally prefer True Blood over Twilight, but that ain't getting a set!

Feels like its a decade too late. Even my mom, who used to gossip about the books every chance she had, hasn't mentioned it a good half a decade. It's not like she isn't into vampires or stuff from that era anymore, she won't shut up about True Blood, but ol' Edward's lost all relevance.

That said, isn't there like a reboot or remake in the works right now? It would've been smarter to delay this reveal/release until that got a trailer/dropped (respectively) to capitalize on hype.

I might buy it and set the minifigures aside or, download the building instructions to get the parts list and build some of those houses in my city.

I'd buy it if I can find it for cheap without the figs. The house, wolf, and truck look good.

Well, I admit that Twilight used to be a guily pleasure of mine but that was ages ago. I might get the Edward and Bella minifigures but the house looks boring. The truck looks decent but the wolf would look better with claws. The packaging with Edward and Bella in the tree is hilarious.

Twilight is Twilight. But this is an awesome modern house.

Wait, which review was this one in? I genuinely don't even remember it being announced as a winner.

No idea about the source material but the set itself is fine. $220 feels steep but it does appear to actually be a full house both in terms of interior and in terms of four full walls, so that's neat.

@Jotahesse1 said:
"... the Ford PU is cool."

Either you don't know classic trucks or you just said this to rile up the Chevy fans.

1963 Chevy would be a great set on it's own. As would the house.

A really nice looking modern house/mansion. No idea about the source material though. Still waiting for the next wave of Fortnite sets to be revealed.

Where are you all finding these amazing discounts lol, I wish I had seen those older sets on such a sale.

Not a fan of a movie but the set is nice.

I keep looking at the pictures and can't find any good reasons to justify that price tag. For that price I would expect to at least have the floors tiled, but not even that! The licensing tax must be pretty high on this one.

The rest of the people, the majority, see an entire house closed as Lego has rarely put up for sale to complete the city. By buying three houses you can make a small luxury or mountain residential, or build a huge house. In addition, the house is easily configurable (interior and others). The figures are generic, so it's okay if you're not a fan of Twilight or don't know it. Pretty truck, tree,... "

Off to pick up 3 copies of this $220 set.

Count me as one of those. No interest in Twilight but nice looking house & truck, wolf is interesting, figures are generic enough.
with a decent discount, I might well get this.

There are many window frames and large pieces that are expensive

Looks like Ron Swanson with his truck

Discounts coming soon!

Just like BTS, this will quickly get the 30% off, and have the retire date shorten by a year.

This. This is why Funwhole.

Will they be able to do better than Balthazar in 70837 ? I'm certainly curious as to what materials they might be using for this effect.

No interest in Twilight but the architecture of the house looks amazing.

I love that build for the piano.

2800 SEK? Well that saves me the trouble of considering this.

Well my opinion hasn't changed since this set was first announced. Interesting build for those into modern architecture. If it gets a huge price reduction I'll buy it for the parts.

This should’ve been a good opportunity for LEGO to have each room - bedroom, the kitchen and piano area slide out to better see those iconic scenes from the movie.

LEGO Low-rise Pants next

I do like the house. This type of architecture is right up my alley. Will wait for a discount though.

"Hold on tight, spider monkey"

I was not expecting to see that. They should have the next set be Bella's house so you can reenact romantic moments from the movie like Edward watching Bella sleep for months...

In all seriousness, I think they did a pretty good job with the source material. The wolf, pickup, and house all look good. I'm very curious to see how well it will sell.

I have seen the movies, and I thought they were awful. Funny, but awful. They're the kind of movies you put on late at night with friends to laugh really hard. I know a lot of people really love these movies though, so we'll see the sales.

"Zzzzzzzzzz

On a discount, it may make an interesting house from an architecture point of view, but licence-costs likely mean it will be pretty expensive for a while.
I do whish the Ideas board would abandon licence-based submissions now because we are getting odder and odder items.

I much prefer things like 21334 Jazz Quartet and 21309 Apollo 11. Some of the licences have been fun, like Dr Who, Back to The Future and Voltron, but I think we've run through some of the more timeless popular culture themes, and I'd rather see a return to interesting builds that stand on their own merits, rather than appealing to a particular fan-base"

I bought the Doctor Who sets when they were out as a I'm a huge Doctor Who fan. I ended up buying 8 of the Dalek/Cyberman packs from the dimensions sets. Of course now if they were to do a Doctor Who set the TARDIS would be same size as the Ideas phone booth we got last year and be close to a 3500 piece set costing around $400-$450

I see what you did there. :D I had to comment just to say hats off and a golf clap to you.
(So the MOC of this set would be called 50 Shades of Orange?)

I'd like the instructions for the wolf from the original submission. The one in the set has gone through too many generations of domestication. Nice doggo, but definitely not giving wolf vibes.

Lol i never expected lego to make a Twilight themed set. Not a fan of the movies, but the house looks great, the figs look great and the set definitely captures the feel of the movie. Big up to the designer.

I am not the intended target for this but since (according to the poll) only 14-15% of Bricksetters have an interest in this, it seems that not many people are the intended target as well!

That said, the house is fine, the truck is (more than) fine and the minifigs are fines. The main problem with this set is the licence - i.e. the price; the brick-built wolf can always be discarded. With a proper discount (25%+) this might just turn out to be a reasonably popular set.

I do not know? Why there is not garage?

The Twilight movies are just as good if not better than most of the Star Wars junk that's been released since the original trilogy concluded with Return of the Jedi....and tons of Bricksetters salivate all over themselves for Star Wars sets.

I'll probably pick the set up at some point, either on discount or double points.

The set to me looks more visually interesting to me than the submission, at least. There will definitely continue to be debates back and forth in accuracy, but as a Lego house, the dark oranges look much nicer than the dark browns.

I have no connection to Twilight but absolutely love the design of the house! The "real house" that they filmed in is largely unchanged and can be found in Portland, Oregon.

I hate Twilight more than I hate Peppa Pig (love the Christina Peru song though), but the house itself is excellent. The only thing I don’t like is the license. Might get it if it hits a good discount, remove the figures/wolf, and add it to the city.

They are about 15 years late though.

Suspect it'll do well enough among the Twilight fans who have nostalgia for something not that old ... but retailers will still be overstocked on the wretched things and selling them at a big discount to get the shelf space back

As others have said, the piano and truck are nice. And if looked at without taking the license into consideration, it's not a bad house. But when the license *is* taken into consideration, it's not surprising to see "No, it doesn't interest me" leading the poll by a country mile.

@Andrusi said:
"Wake me up when it's the *Peter* Cullen house."

"One shall stand, one shall fall."

Obviously Brickset isn't where people interested in this set are particularly vocal. I'm not particularly interested but I know there's still people who hold Twilight in a fond light, even if the movies were silly in parts.
I'm surprised they went with the monstrously oversized brick-built wolf instead of utilising the CMF Wolf element, it would've been much more in-scale and looked less dire-wolfy.

@bricks_n_pops said:
"Come on........stickers on 2x2 flat tile to illustrate disc sleeves?!
Pathetic"

This is by no means unique to this set lol. Lego has only recently started following its "tiles held by figures should be printed" rule again (LITERALLY with the 2024 Jungle Explorer and 2025 Friends line). This is absolutely the norm and has been the case for multiple years (*sometimes* they add an extra piece on the back like the clipboard in 76398, but it's clear that most people will just put it in the figures' hands)

Like, 76781 has a printed 1x2 tile to be held... and a stickered 1x2 tile that's also meant to be held.

Well the truck looks good, and the house looks better than expected, although I much preferred the trees in the original submission. The garage door not opening is a miss though, and the price is pretty bad, although I'd stop short of atrocious.

I can see this selling better than the BTS set as it does have some appeal to people who aren't fans of the source material.

Personally though, I wouldn't buy it purely because of the licence - I don't want to give any money to a franchise I seriously dislike. YMMV on this obviously. I haven't bought any of the Fast and Furious Speed Champions sets for the same reason.

If this was released without the licence (and a corresponding price reduction) I could see it doing quite well!

Misidentification on my part. Haven't seen the movie since it was released 17 years ago. And I was thrown off by the curved elements above the front fascia, as they should be more angled with integrated turn signals. Guess LEGO doesn't have that full license.

I'm not gonna' say "It's not for me", but: If I had a choice between watching 'Twilight Saga' or 'Underworld'; well, take a guess...I mean, when I heard about "the vampires do WHAT NOW???" I...just COULD NOT...Vamps BURST into FLAMES when exposed to sunlight, NOT 'sparkle' (hmmm...think MLP used/were inspired by 'the term' for a certain character)...I mean, even "Daybreakers" used that 'mythology'/'principle' for a great plot device (basically 'a cure')...

Not a bad set, but who is this for? What Twilight fans have been clamoring for a LEGO set? And what LEGO fans have been clamoring for a Twilight set? Having never seen (nor having an interest in seeing) the movies, this set has zero appeal to me. Even the parts and minifigs aren't worth it to me. I like Halloween and horror, so a set like the Hocus Pocus set, despite also never seeing that movie, still has some appeal to me. But there is no real spooky/horror elements in this one, aside from the giant werewolf and the tree. The house is very modern and not spooky looking in any way. I'm sure it's accurate to the movie, but man, I wish a movie about vampires featured a more gothic looking house. Then a set based on it might be more appealing.

Nice house, piece count and price seem right.
Bet is big, but seems like it is $100

Is it just me, or there is a door on the last floor that opens unto nothing???
(is that part of the movie? surely the original house cannot be built like that)

When the instructions come out I'm building that truck.

All twilight jokes aside, I rather like the wolf design for the scale and size of it. And the new printed 1x1 quarter-domes.

"$220 is kinda absurd. It's a nice looking house, but I feel like Twilight is way too niche at this point."

I tend to agree with you.

All comments about "Twilight" aside, I feel like this is yet another trend that Lego has hopped on about five years too late.

It's a nice looking set, and price notwithstanding, I'd probably think about buying it.

I hope they make a Hatsune Miku set in the Ideas subtheme. after seeing her Lego minifigure, i need it!

They chose this over Lego Shrek, Dr. Seuss, Godzilla, and so many other IPS...

The floors around the stairs look really dangerous without railings, is that canon?

My biggest annoyance with this is that they are willing to offer this for pre order but not the Tudor Corner on January 1, when pre order would have been extraordinarily useful.

I am not really into boxy modern architecture, but it should appeal to fans of this style whether or not they saw the movies.

@HOBBES said:
"Is it just me, or there is a door on the last floor that opens unto nothing???
(is that part of the movie? surely the original house cannot be built like that)"

Judging by the promo photos, I think that's meant to represent an opening window. You can see Bella and Edward climbing up a tree that leads to it, so I think the idea is they're climbing through that window.

I've never seen the movies, but I assume that's something that happens. Using the door is an odd choice, though I guess the only other option was using the shorter window that opens which would've broken up the wrap-around windows?

I like the truck..... thats it

Where's Jackie Daytona from Arizonnn-ya?!

Just a regular human bartender.

Of all the collaborations Lego could've chosen...

I am indifferent to the IP, but was interested in this when it was approved in case it turned out to be a good modern house design. This though doesn't seem *that* great, and except for having a back I think I'd rather have 42639 .... but maybe if it gets heavily discounted it will be worth it, I'd store the minifigs carefully in case they go up enough in value to be worth selling....

I mean, the truck looks nice, but I never liked that version of Batman.

I hope the Twilight fans who took ten seconds to vote for this on Ideas because they saw it on social media pony up the cash for the set.

Otherwise it’s just going to gather dust, and I’m not interested in the Space parts in this set.

Truck looks nice, though.

I would absolutely buy this without the figs at a reasonable price. The house and the truck are great additions to a Lego city.

I saw the movies, they were good entertainment. As a franchise it was huge, but it's all in the past. Still having fans may not mean people will pay $200+ for dust collector on their shelves.

Is twilight (still) a thing? Surely not.
And, is this really such a great house? I see lots of comments saying "I dont like twilight, but will buy this because it is a nice house".
Is it really?

Having read bits of the designer interview, it is clear they put a lot of this same vibe into the set. My daughter has already watched the full video reveal and really appreciated the effort."

So she’s already preordered? :o)

A hard "NO" and makes an individual ask "WHY?!?!" And the price!!!....Hard pass.

Instant buy for me if its cheap on Bricklink without the figs or its easy to part it out and build from scratch. Couldn't care less about the IP, but its a nice modern house and a very cool brickbuilt wolf.

Also never watched Twilight, but Jacob > Edward. Werewolves are infinitely cooler than Vampires.

Yes it's an Ideas set, but it was still chosen by LEGO out of dozens of other submissions. Other submissions which, the majority of, likely would have been a better fit for LEGO than Twilight. Honestly their recent Ideas choices have been pretty underwhelming compared to the projects that didn't get selected. It still baffles me that Shrek wasn't chosen despite having two projects in the same review period. Shrek has a massive following, much bigger than Twilight, would appeal to all ages, and even people who aren't fans of the movies would still enjoy the fantasy elements.

I mean, it's cool if this brings a new audience into LEGO for the first time. I just can't imagine it performing that well overall.

I don't find the house particularly interesting, especially at the price. The tree is much smaller than the one in the original submission. Bricklinking the piano and truck seem more reasonable than buying the set at any discount, IMO. I do like the wolf--but, like the tree, the one in the original submission was better!

Every single aspect of this set has been designed to revel in the mockery of the human psyche that is Twilight, to the finest of details and to every possible degree.

As @cimddwc, @Brick_Master, and @yellowcaste have said, this set bears a striking resemblence to like 42639. I suppose this is a less colorful version for Lego fans who like modern mansions but don't want too much color to overwhelm the gray Star Wars sets already on their shelves.

I confess that I know nothing about this IP except a vague sense that the creator was an alumnus of BYU. (Are these polygynous Mormon vampires??? If so, no wonder they need such a big house for their large family.)

The structure house is a bit evocative of Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater house (which Lego depicted in architecture set 21005).

… which would be a massive W for people who just want a cool modern house for their city; and for MOCers like me who would buy this once it goes below half price, sell the figures, and part it out

It does have a Wright vibe, but I don't think that it looks that much like Fallingwater in particular.

Some of these comments are the reason why I avoid social media...

Either way, it's a nice interesting house, might try to replicate it with my own bricks. However, if this set ever goes for 50% off, I'm in.

I know absolutely nothing about the source material. BUt. An 18+ modern architecture house? Sign me up! The classic pickup is just the icing on th cake.

just remember not to preorder unless you want to miss out on GWP

As nice as the house, the truck, and the Taylor Wolf look, This will probably end up onto the "niche" pile.
Given this is based on a franchise not many people care much about nowadays.

I cannot wait to get this at 50% off.

But I like the wolf!"

I disagree. I think this has an inherent appeal beyond just Twilight fans, albeit perhaps not at full price, whereas those two sets were only really interesting to Queer Eye and BTS fans."

I am sad I didn't buy Queer eye for parts alone when given such deep discount... I really liked the apartment build, so hoping to see the same deal here... BTS didn't care for at all (even if it had a discount) - and I not a fan of any of these 3 licenses

Yes it's an Ideas set, but it was still chosen by LEGO out of dozens of other submissions. Other submissions which, the majority of, likely would have been a better fit for LEGO than Twilight.

Just use your brains people for cryin’ out loud. Is it really that hard to imagine that the 10k votes aren’t the only thing that separates an ideas submission from an actual product?

Last time I checked, there was also copyrights, ownerships, money, lawyers, and whatever else involved. How do you know how the legal part of all these crazy submissions looks like? What LEGO and their current partners agreed to? Ever imagined that a part of a current contract may include stuff like a list of companies and IPs LEGO isn’t allowed to work with for as long as the partnership with a company X is lasting?

Wasn’t Shrek a movie made by a dude who got fired from Disney, which then caused people all over the world guessing if the smoke that rises from when the donkey pees into fire, really is shaped like Walt’s face? How do you think Disney would like LEGO to work with these dudes?

And please, don’t compare “but Hasbro…”, because you have no idea how their contracts look like either, and when with whom they’ve been made.

Seriously. I couldn’t care about Twilight either, and also not BTS, Mario, Nasa, grand Pianos, Jazz bands and about 99% of other junk there is on Ideas, but I don’t question why this stuff gets chosen."

I've never seen any of the Shrek movies, but I somehow doubt that Disney is blocking them from one specific IP just because a movie in that IP * may* have had a diss at Disney (also known as a Diss-ney). We know they've done ZDreamworks sets (https://brickset.com/sets/tag-Dreamworks), and there's a How to Train Your Dragon set coming out. Lego has named specific IPs that are prohibited from Ideas before; if they couldn't do Shrek, they would just say, "Don't submit any Shrek proposals." As to your last point, I very much care about everything on your list after BTS, but I guarantee you that Lego does thing that you're into that don't do a thing for me. As you said, everything has an audience.

But why not? IP contracts are complex, and who knows what stupid random paragraph stops something “obvious” from happening.
On the other side the answer might be also as simple as Dreamworks wanted a bazilion dollars for the rights, and Twilight was five.
Or, someone else than Dreamworks has the rights to Shrek and they don’t care for LEGO (fun fact, the rights to the classic Checker Cab are spread over a bunch of people, but they don’t talk to eachother).
Or maybe someone at LEGO Ideas hates Shrek.

Who cares. I’m simply so fed up with these “black and white” discussions, where folks think that all of this stuff is only a matter of being done, instead of at least trying to imagine that behind every decision there is either halfway logical reasoning, or something else.

We almost got Shrek LEGO, through Dimensions.... but then the game got cancelled due to falling sales.

Okay, to be fair, I can see some people buying this just to get a nice house; nevermind that it’s Twilight."

I would never buy this, even for the house, as LEGO would think its an endorsement for Twilight stuff.

Based on the poll, at most 25% of Brickset users who bothered to read this article will buy the set, with that number being realistically a lot lot lower. That’s pretty poor I would imagine but I don’t know what the stats are like for other sets. It’s not exactly greatly appealing to many LEGO fans based on the lack of popularity of Twilight and the price which is extraordinarily high for such a niche set.

Oh, I see it, I'll build modular bank of it!

I like the design of the house but I don't care about the movie it was based on.
But I won't buy it because it's too expensive to be a add to houses collection buy.

the fact Im more interested in the chevy pickup, says a lot

never heard of twilight before this model
