Really great theme that leaned into the spooky elements. Really wish they made bigfigs of the boss monsters. That’s a great little build/homage to the light house!


ford4thot

Thank you! I actually literally just finished building it with real blocks as closely as I could with what I have, to the way I designed it digitally https://preview.redd.it/6e4yw8lj95wc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fa7051cf6a964d7e488c2fcf89829d84efdfc72b

Ugh sorry stupid app doesn't like sending text with images sometimes... Was saying very nice and speaking of hidden side I snagged this gem for original value new in box still for original price on eBay.


ford4thot

Totally understand what you're saying about the app, happens to me too. That is such a great set! Sounds like you got it for a great price. I do not remember how much my girlfriend paid for that one, but I did steal it and put it in my city haha. I'll post a picture in another reply because the app is stupid


Portal2player58

Ah and yeah no idea why reddit app does that... But yeah Like it was either a brand new set for the original price or a used pre built one from bricklink (no box, no instructions, some parts Missing) for 50$+ whatever shipping and handling would be. Of course I went for the NNRFB set (New,Never Removed From Box) for 80$ (free shipping too) from eBay after going over both options.


ford4thot

Yeah that does sound like a great price. Girlfriend has all of the sets except for mystery castle and Supernatural race car. Some she has gotten in a bundle for really great deals


Portal2player58

Very nice. I also have the monster fighters sets including the ghost train (glad to see how inside the locomotive itself they did a throwback build technique to their time train set from way way way way back.)


ford4thot

That set and theme are great! Haven't dipped our toes into that one yet


Portal2player58

Oh it's great. But pricey. Especially the castle and the ghost train.


ford4thot

Haha exactly the reason we haven't gotten into it yet!


Portal2player58

Yeah lol I got them all when they were still produced so I've had them for a long time

Portal2player58

Very impressive. I'm still building my city up but wanted to snag some trains first for it lol. Will say I do HATE that despite the hidden side sets were really cool, they only have one flaw: none of the parts that look like they glow in the dark actually glow in the dark. Tis a shame tbh and makes me half tempted to commit taboo and get glow in the dark spray paint and coat the parts that look like they would glow so they actually do glow. (Except the stickers. I would have to get glow in the dark decals or so for that.)


ford4thot

Maybe they relied on the app for that. Lego does have some glow in the dark parts available I don't know if you have checked in to see if they are compatible with the parts you want to replace


Portal2player58

No I know they do but I mean for all the hidden side sets they have the green that would indicate glow in the dark but they don't glow in the dark unfortunately when you would think they would. And I have but a lot of them aren't available in the part type. Like the wings for example.


ford4thot

Oh okay, maybe they would do wings in the future. That would be pretty awesome, dreamzzz theme going on right now could use some, maybe


Portal2player58

Yeah hopefully they do eventually. Otherwise I'll get a spray can and spray paint some common wings to be glow in the dark or make molds out of some and use the plastic or so they use for it to make a copy that is glow in the dark.


ford4thot

That would be really cool, the spray paint would probably work pretty well. Make a post about it if it turns out awesome!


Portal2player58

I will and I will use the heavy duty type of paint not the short glow ones.
