LEGO Twilight fans who have been eagerly awaiting the release of LobsterThermidor's LEGO Ideas 21354 Twilight The Cullen House need wait no longer, as the 'breaking dawn' (AKA the official release date) for this highly demanded LEGO display set is February 1st 2025.

That's almost exactly two years since the builder - real name Nick Micheels - posted his concept to LEGO Ideas, gaining over 10,000 votes in barely 24 hours on February 3rd-4th 2023.

It's a light-hearted but highly detailed version of the real-life Hoke House in Portland, Oregon, which was used as The Cullen House in The Twilight Saga movies. Micheels told the LEGO Ideas blog: "I just thought it would be so funny to translate this movie and these characters into LEGO form."

Let's dive into the details that not only appeared in the designer's original concept art but also made it through the final approval process to feature in the final 2,001-piece LEGO Twilight display set.

7 LEGO Twilight Minifigures

There's an impressive SEVEN LEGO Twilight Minifigures included with The Cullen House, allowing you to recreate several main scenes from the movies.

The Twilight LEGO Minifigures you get include (from left to right):

• Charlie Swan
• Jacob Black
• Bella Swan
• Edward Cullen
• Alice Cullen
• Rosalie Hale
• Carlisle Cullen

A unique 'sparkle' effect has been added to the Edward Cullen Minifigure just like in 2008's Twilight and 2009's The Twilight Saga: New Moon, and there's also a brick-built figure of Jacob Black in his werewolf form.

Architectural Delight

If you're not familiar with The Twilight Saga, The Cullen House LEGO set doubles as a real-world architectural build of the Hoke House, located on the edge of Forest Park in Portland.

The stunning modern property was completed in 2007 and extensively renovated just five years later, in 2012, around the time of the series finale, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2.

As a result, this LEGO version is a kind of time capsule of the house in its original form - and we always love to see real-world buildings recreated in LEGO bricks. Of course, the interiors are based on the way the Hoke House was dressed for the movies, but the exterior is a beautiful reproduction of the three-storey timber-clad 'treehouse' nestled in Forest Park.

Absolutely No Beds

Vampires never sleep so, like in the movies (and Micheels' original LEGO Ideas concept) there are no beds in the house.

Edward's bedroom has been recreated in perfect LEGO form though, complete with bookcases and a day bed. At least there's somewhere for Bella to take a nap!

There's also a kitchen, bathroom and living room, connecting staircases, a grand piano, a garage for Bella's pick-up truck (the vehicle is supplied too) and a tall tree for Edward and Bella to climb.

Overall, a huge amount of attention has been put into making this a detailed display set. LEGO calls it "a centrepiece that makes for stylish vampire decor in any room" and we have to agree - this LEGO Twilight house will look fantastic on show.

No Experience Necessary

Don't worry if you've never built a LEGO set before. The creator of this design, Nick Micheels, only started building in 2020 with LEGO Modular Buildings 10270 Bookshop.

In his interview with the LEGO Ideas blog, he said: "I was blown away by how advanced the building experience was in comparison to what I had remembered from my childhood, and I became hooked!".

LEGO Twilight The Cullen House (21354) comes with an in-depth instruction booklet which takes you through the process step by step, provides more interview comments from Micheels, and access to 3D views of the assembly via the LEGO Builder app.

It's recommended for adults (age 18+) but with a bit of patience and precision, this should make a great set for enthusiastic first-time builders.
