The Leg-O-Lantern is awesome. :D

How much were they?

-RoG- on 10/04/2011 1:58 pm

I think they were only 2-3 bucks each when I bought 'em last year. I really love 'em.

I have yet to find these anywhere (last year or this year).

I would love for Lego to take their blind figure packs they're pushing now and put them in packaging like this.

how much did they cost, and where did u get em?? i look at toys'r us

-RoG- on 10/04/2011 4:07 pm

Those ones were from 2010, but I just found out there is a new 2011 set that all come together in one package:

The characters don't look quite as good if you ask me, nor does the packaging, but they're apparently out there. I was at Target the other day, but they didn't have 'em in their Halloween section... not sure about Toys "R" Us.

If you're looking for the 2010 sets, I just checked on eBay and they are on there. Just do a search for "Lego Ghost" etc. and you'll find 'em easily.

I really don't see the point in itty-bitty lego model kits. 12 pieces that make an flat Atari-resolution stlye figure; boring!
I love those huge Technic sets that have stuff like working pneumatic pistons. Those kits are awesome! Lego should come out with Halloween themed sets like that. Working guillotines and hopping spider beasts, and such.

While I'd certainly love to see a huge Halloween Lego set with a bajillion pieces, if you can't appreciate simple stuff that looks like it jumped out of an Atari 2600 and landed in the real world, you're on the wrong site my friend.

Case in point:

I kind of agree with That Other Guy, but I will say lego has generally had awesome spooky kits over the years. I loved how the skeletons used standard minifig heads, so you could swap them out and make a skull-headed guy... put a motorcycle helmet on him so nobody notices he's secretly a skeleton..

BTW, the little triangular pieces are actually roof corners originally. They had a bunch of them in one set I had as a kid in the 80's. Don't remember what it was, houses and castles? But, anyway, that's where I know them from.

Haha, those are great! I especially like the white teeth on the bat, and the black eyes on the ghost as if it's a sheet with eye-holes cut out.

I kinda like the 2011 ones. The pumpkin monster is neat and the bat ain't bad, but that ghost looks kinda phallic and off putting.

The Ghost reminds me of the Bad Graphics Ghost from Homestar Runner.

Alien Brain Parasite on 10/05/2011 10:22 pm

friggin' cool! Love these.

Alien Brain Parasite on 10/05/2011 10:24 pm

But damn you -RoG- for not showing these off last year!

That Other Guy on 10/05/2011 11:09 pm

Perhaps I should clarify a bit. As little toy figures, the 2010 versions are pretty neat. The 2011s are "trying too hard".
For admiration purposes, big and itty-bitty kits both work. But, as far as building and creation fun, the little kits aren't as good as the bigguns.

Haha nice post -RoG- these Halloween lego sets are awesome!!! Growin up me and my brothers had the space sets & the mid evil castle sets in a huge cardboard box. So Saturday mornings were legos and Saturday morning cartoons...yea, it was Heaven!!!

I'm trying to win the 2010 Series on eBay after buying the 2011 Series earlier!
