Netflix’s blockbuster TV show Squid Game has just gotten the brick treatment by Mattel’s MEGA. No. It is not the creepy doll from the Red Light Green Light game, though I think it is a matter of time before it, too, becomes a brick-built set. Anyhoo, it is the infamous staircase building. The colorfully ominous structure has been turned into a collector-worthy brick-built set containing 1,735 pieces.

Recreated in all its pastel dread, the MEGA Squid Game Staircase Collector Building Set brings back that chaotic headcount scene with a build that looks part dream, part fever. Standing 10 inches (25.48 cm) tall, it includes 40 tiny 1-inch (2.54 cm) worker figures and one 2-inch (5.08 cm) Front Man, who comes with his little evil boss desk. A hand-crank on the side lets you send the faceless workers marching up the stairs—a manually powered reminder that your free time might be better spent escaping.
This collector set isn’t just big on drama—it’s big, period. It measures 9.85 x 8.09 x 10.03 inches (25.02 x 20.55 x 25.48 cm) and comes packed in display-friendly packaging filled with Easter eggs from the series.
Available for pre-order now at USD 130, and shipping on or before June 27, 2025, this set is probably the most cheerful-looking representation of psychological despair you’ll ever snap together.
