A cinematic obsessive with the filmic palate of a starving raccoon, Rob London will watch pretty much anything once. With a mind like a steel trap, he's an endless fount of movie and TV trivia, borne from a misspent youth of watching monster movies on TV, perusing the sun-faded goods at the local video rental shop, and staining his fingers with ink from the Video Movie Guide. Areas of interest include science fiction, film noir, horror flicks, '70s disaster pictures, Bond movies, '90s action, giant robots, dinosaurs, super heroes, and the exuberantly schlocky output of Cannon Films. He also enjoys both Star Trek and Star Wars when they're good, and maybe even more when they're bad. As a Canadian, he also has a vested interest in Canadian movies and TV shows, especially the cheesier ones dubbed "Canuxploitation."
An expert on Marvel Comics, he has also written for the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe, and is a member of the Marvel Research Team. He can frequently be found pontificating on comic-book continuity or bemoaning the misfortunes of the Toronto Maple Leafs on his Twitter account.

After the grand finale drops this New Year's Eve, Stranger Things is over for good. But fans will be able to assuage their grief for the show (and whatever characters don't survive the finale) with a massive new Lego set of one of the show's coolest locations. A new 2593-piece set of the Creel House, the creepy mansion that serves as the home base for Upside Down mastermind Vecna, will be available to preorder from Lego.com starting on January 1, 2026 for members of Lego's Insider rewards program, and on January 4 for everyone else.
Once built, the set will be an 11.5-inch-tall and 20-inch-wide replica of the opulent Creel manor, with a detailed facade of the house in the front and an open back that reveals seven furnished rooms full of Stranger Things Easter eggs, including Max's mixtape cassette and Henry Creel's sketch of the Mind Flayer. The house's exterior can reflect both its past and present appearances in the series; either new and pristine or abandoned and boarded up. The set can also be opened up to the "Upside Down" via a mechanism that reveals Vecna's hidden lair. It will also include a wide variety of minifigures, including Eleven, Will, Mike, Lucas, Dustin, Holly, Steve, Nancy, Robin, Jonathan, and Max, plus minifigures of the villainous Henry Creel in his guises as both imaginary friend Mr. Whatsit and the visceral Vecna. They'll be able to ride in style, because the set also includes buildable versions of Will's bicycle, Steve's Beemer, and the WSQK radio van. The set will retail for $299.99, and is recommended for builders ages 18 and up.
Who Are the Creels on 'Stranger Things'?
The Creels were a wealthy family in Hawkins, Indiana, in the 1950s. Living in a house matriarch Virginia inherited from a great-uncle, the family began to experience mysterious, frightening events; mutilated animals, electronic interference, and horrific waking nightmares. These events built to a head until a mysterious telekinetic force gruesomely killed Virginia and her daughter Alice, and left son Henry (Jamie Campbell Bower) in a coma. Family patriarch Victor (Robert Englund), the only unscathed member of the family, was blamed, and spent the intervening decades in an asylum. The true culprit, however, was Henry, a powerful and evil psychic who'd turned his powers against his family. He eventually ended up exiled to the Upside Down dimension, where the Creel House's twisted counterpart became his base of operations; dubbed "Vecna" by Stranger Things' heroes, he's returned to threaten Hawkins and the world in the newest season of the series.
If you preorder the Creel House while supplies last, you'll take home a free gift with purchase: a miniature version of the WSQK radio station interior, complete with Joyce Byers and Sheriff Hopper minifigures. This 234-piece set will only be available for a limited time, so get those preorders in before time runs out.
Lego's Stranger Things Creel House will be available to pre-order for Lego Insiders on January 1, 2026, and for everyone else on January 4. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates.
