The "Fan Designer" of the Cullen house is Nick Micheels (aka LobsterThermidor), who fell in love with Twilight as an adult and became inspired to create a fantastic LEGO version of the famous Cullen family house.
His design includes a brick-built wolf and some of the main characters as Minifigures, so you can act out your favourite movie scenes. In a 10K Club Interview, Nick Micheels shared the inspiration behind his creation.
"I find building LEGO sets as well as designing MOCs to be a very calming experience. I enjoy building sets and displaying them in my home. And my kids love playing with the modular buildings and building sets with me," said Micheels.
"I've even persuaded my wife toward the addiction with the LEGO Wildflower set that matches the flowers we chose for our wedding. The LEGO hobby is a contagious hobby, and I hope to infect all of my loved ones," continued Micheels.
The LEGO set will include all your favourite characters and props so you can bring movie scenes to life (Summit Entertainment)The model built by Micheels will be adapted, so the company may change some of the current items, but, this superfan snuck some fantastic details into his rendition of the home of "the world's most dangerous predator."
According to LEGO's site, the model is filled with Easter eggs from the books and movies, including a brick-built werewolf (now you can let the wolf out of the bag yourself), custom tiles with each book cover, baseball hats and gloves, graduation cap display art, and a library-turned-infirmary.
There's no word yet on when this set will be released, but as this year marks the 15th anniversary of the Twilight franchise, you'll likely be able to buy it before the next holiday season.
