If you're still feeling a Stranger Things-shaped hole in your heart after the series wrapped up at the beginning of the year, don't worry - I don't have a solution, but at least there's a band-aid I can slap on the problem. Netflix and show creators the Duffer brothers have revealed Stranger Things: The Complete Series (including a special Deluxe Edition) on Blu-ray and 4K HDR, and they're calling it a "way to preserve the show for decades to come." But where can you find the damn thing?
Well, this collection is a lot easier to track down than season 5's missing kids or franchise big bad, Vecna. I was initially worried they'd be squirreled away on the Netflix store itself with limited quantity, but you can actually pre-order Stranger Things: The Complete Series via Amazon now, not to mention Walmart. That includes the standard and the Deluxe Edition, both of which are available on Blu-ray or 4K HDR.

Stranger Things: The Complete Collection FAQ
So, what makes this series of Blu-rays special? Why would you grab it instead of just booting up the show on Netflix? Well, there are plenty of extras hidden away beneath those fancy box-sets. Here's everything you need to know.
What do you get in Stranger Things: The Complete Series?
For the standard Complete Series, you're getting cast and crew interviews, behind-the-scenes content (including set tours and bloopers), a collectors' booklet, reversible sleeves for each season, and a double-sided poster with original artwork by Kyle Lambert alongside the actual show.
The Deluxe Edition is where things kick up a notch, though. Alongside all of the above, this special version also crams in a Palace Arcade coin-token, a Hellfire Club patch, a Hellfire Club d20 die, 25 artcards, five double-sided posters, a double-sided Hawkins map, and a 148-page artbook with original designs, concept art, storyboards, and new writing on how the series was made. Some of these aren't available anywhere else, so it's one hell(fire Club) of an incentive.
Why is this box set special?
Aside from all those extra goodies featured in both the normal and Deluxe Edition, this is the first time we've gotten physical releases for any Stranger Things post season 1 and 2.
When does Stranger Things: The Complete Collection come out?
These Blu-ray box sets will launch on July 28 in the US, but comes out a day early in the UK (it's due there on July 27).
