I never watched a single second of the show. But I loved the Lego Upside Down set they released and got it back then. Now this tuck kinda sings to me as well. Hmm... descisions... 🤔.

It's unreasonable for me to expect anyone to watch through 3 1/2 seasons to get there, but S04E04 is one of the best episodes of TV I've seen. Overall, the series can be pretty hit or miss though.

80's baby here and fan of the series. I suppose they could have illustrated this deck to be normal bodies either one way or mirrored...kinda how they illustrated Eleven in the Ace of Spades. Personally I like the more traditional approach to court card designs so this doesn't bother me at all, actually didn't even think about it until this comment. But sure, the courts are bulky, but also on brand in terms of t11 and other playing card designs IMO. Would be funny to see what Midjourney thinks a standard bicycle court card would look like as a real human! I'm sure we'll see an Upside Down edition next (I hope)

I would like to see this deck used in the next season in a casual manner where it wouldn't be so in your face but noticeable to those of us who collect playing cads.

“Dear Billy” - OH YESH, that’s definitely the epic episode in Season 4! I listened to Kate Bush “Running Up That Hill” after it

Good news! Max is in the lineup!!

Probably won’t be possible XD the series is set in 1980s, modern decks like this don’t exist yet, hence don’t get your hopes up

Although… there is a Bicycle deck spotted in S04E01!

Strange coindcedence that I just lately rediscovered Running up that Hill some weeks ago. Dunno what the song has to do with the series but I guess to celebrate Kate Bush I gotta grab a deck.

It was a very powerful scene, and the music was used perfectly. The episode was brilliantly executed.

I like the clothing pattern. It makes the subtle details stand out more, like the D20 and the baseball bat.

  • King of Diamonds - Lucas Sinclair, the impulsive kid in school and the brave one in the children gang. Ever since he met with Max, Lucas got a crush on her. At first, the relationship wasn't panned out, yet he would like to rekindle the love after a chain of events.
    • His weapon of choice during his first encounter with the Demogorgon is the slingshot. (A possible reference to a scene where Beverly hits IT with silver chunks)
    • In high school, Lucas joined the National Basketball team. During one momentous game in Hawkins High, he becomes the "talk of the town" after he successfully score a "buzzer beater" that won his team for the first time.

Extras
The Extras feature even more easter eggs to the television series.
  • Extra A - Christmas Lights Ouija, the makeshift spirit board made with Christmas lights! After knowing a way to contact Will, Joyce strings up Christmas lights on her living room's wall and then uses black paint to write the letters. There is a slimy portal appear beneath the plaster of the wall, as the Demogorgon tried to claw in.
  • Extra B - Hellfire Club, the high school's club that likes the hyped roleplaying game "Dungeons and Dragons". The leader of the club is Eddie Munson, who is also the campaign's Dungeon Master (the game's term for Game Master). Although, with the string of murders happening in Hawkins, the group becomes a target of paranoia as fake news spreading about the game being satanic and evil, influencing the players into occult practices. Eddie soon becomes the prime suspect of the murders.

• Dune
• James Bond 007
• Jimmy Fallon
• SNL
• The Avengers
• Yellow Submarine
• The Grateful Dead
• The Mandalorian

Wow, you actually saved the information! Thank you 🙏

Think I’ve done the guide for Dune and The Avengers (of course, since I’m MCU fan). Mandalorian… think I’ve done that too

Can’t do much with James Bond since the courts are all standards - the big disappointment of the deck

Thank you! Your guides not only help me figure out the characters on each card, but the hidden easter eggs and history of the characters. So I place them in a folder in my hard drive with reference photos of the card decks.

SURPRISE! There is an interior artwork of the deck - it's the wallpaper of the Byers Home with the flap side shows the makeshift Ouija Board with the Christmas Lights. The letters R, U, and N are lit up, a message from Will that said: "RUN"

WOW! I am SO FALL IN LOVE with this deck!

FYI, this deck was designed by Clark Orr, who also did Mastermind and the Dark Knight
@clarkorr wrote:New Work: Stranger Things x @theory11.
When Stranger Things first came out, so many people asked me what I thought of it because of my love of 80s nostalgia, that I almost didn’t want to watch it as to not get bummed if I didn’t like it. The truth is, I dug it, but it wasn’t until taking on this project that was able to fully appreciate how rich and special the series is. It’s pretty surreal having worked on this official project for Netflix and Theory11, there’s almost so much diverse imagery in the series, it felt overwhelming to know what and how to incorporate. Definitely one of the more insane things I’ve been fortunate enough to work on. Shouts to @theblksmith and @jbayme for creative direction, photography supplied by @theory11

Looks like another version is coming. "Not quite" a re-color, according to the instagram comments.

It looks like the upside down from the colour scheme.

Looking closer, is that a new back design? Or just the bottom of the front?

Cool. Makes a lot of sense for the theme.
You want to reclaim your mind and get it out of the hands of the cultural engineers who want to turn you into a half-baked moron consuming all this trash that’s being manufactured out of the bones of a dying world.

Maybe it’s gotta be like: the Upside Down Version, a slightly update artwork to shows the mirror world or something

But i would not gotta believe T11 until they show what they claimed

Ah, another deck potentially behind a box paywall. If so, I'll have to pass.

It looks like a VHS tape box, not necessarily a sleeve. Maybe the band is designed to keep the tuck from sliding out.
