The LEGO Group and Lionsgate have collaborated to unveil the first-ever Twilight-inspired LEGO set with the #21354 LEGO Ideas Twilight The Cullen House, in a deal facilitated by IMG Licensing.
The Twilight Saga is one of the most successful young adult film franchises of all time. The five films (Twilight, The Twilight Saga: New Moon, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, and The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Parts 1 & 2) have grossed more than $3.3 billion at the worldwide box office. The films were adapted from Twilight creator Stephenie Meyer’s acclaimed series of books that won multiple awards, sold over 160 million copies worldwide, and were translated into 49 different languages. Lionsgate’s TV adaptation of Stephenie Meyer’s novel “Midnight Sun” has been picked up to series at Netflix.
The #21354 LEGO Ideas Twilight The Cullen House set allows “Twi-hards” to make the captivating world of The Twilight Saga last forever with a buildable model of the iconic Cullen family home. Designed to capture the stylish, modern architecture and intricate interior of the three-story residence, this set invites fans to immerse themselves in the epic saga.
The set originated from the LEGO Ideas program, which allows users to submit ideas for LEGO products that have the potential to be turned into commercially available sets.
The 2001-piece set includes seven minifigures, including Bella Swan, Edward Cullen (with a dazzling sparkle effect), and Jacob Black, who also appears in his wolf form. Builders can enhance the drama with Bella’s iconic red truck and a towering tree perfect for Edward and Bella’s unforgettable treetop moments. The model house has familiar features for fans to delight in, such as a grand piano in the living room and planters on the balcony.
This LEGO Ideas set is the ultimate tribute to The Twilight Saga – an ideal gift for adults who adore the series, whether they’re rediscovering the romance or indulging in their love for movie memorabilia. An eye-catching display piece adding a touch of vampire chic to any space, this set offers a new and exciting way for fans to relive the saga.
In addition, builders can watch a special LEGO creation inspired by the film with a two-hour looped video featuring the set and minifigures at LEGO.com/Twilight whilst they build.
The new LEGO set was designed by California-based LEGO fan Nick Micheels, as part of the LEGO Ideas program. Once designed, 10,000 people voted for it to be made into a real set. This idea took less than 48 hours to make it to 10,000 votes – one of the fastest 10,000 submissions to date!
Talking about his design, Nick said, “The amazing submissions on the LEGO Ideas site that demonstrated how dynamic the LEGO system is inspired me to submit my own idea.” and “I decided to create a Twilight build because I’m a massive fan of the saga, and imagining a LEGO interpretation of the films made me so happy!”
“We’re thrilled for the beloved Twilight brand to cross over into the world of LEGO,” said Debbie Olshan, Director of Consumer Products at Lionsgate. “Designed by and created for fans, this collaboration allows us to expand The Twilight Saga fandom in new ways.”
In the video below, LEGO Model Designer, Laura Perron, introduces the set and shows many of the details.

I kind of agree with this preview I found on youtube: https://youtu.be/fhOAAaQulqM?si=b6nOBKbyflzBo8Zs
The darker original design matched the movies better, but I like the interior of the final version better. I don’t like the wolf in either of them. Too blocky and robot-like. The person who did the video didn’t like the minifigs, but I think they are fine. Especially the torso prints.
I prefer this preview by just2good. The set is fine. https://youtu.be/6w_JFFVEN-g?si=n9bhQwbbk7bjVoBW
I suppose as a bonus, if you have no familiarity with the movies, it’s a decent modern-style house set in its own right that would fit fine with City-line sets. I don’t see anything there that absolutely screams “this is a reference to a thing from a specific movie”. As opposed to, say, the Home Alone house, though I supposed you could omit the specific movie reference items from your build there too.
Wow! My friends gonna be crazy about this! Especially the minifigs! But I also know that most of them can’t afford it. Lego made this too large and expensive. They should have kept it in the $100-$150 range.
This appears to be the worst version of the house I have seen. The proportions are way off. I suppose that was for the need to reduce the number of parts and make the model more kid friendly. The only problem I saw with the fan version was some of his fenetration was not in keeping with glass wall and openness of the original house. The original house is not a cutesy piece of architecture as this version has been reduced too.
