“This is a really fun set which also has some rare minifigs. We get lot's of cool stuff like a mirror, a helmet and a cloak which glows in the dark. This set also has a gate which opens, a lever which is going to activate the big lab. The other tower has a big door which you... More can open. On the top of the building you can see a container with a skull in it. This container can be swiveled full 360° and you can see the platform behind the door moving.”

“This LEGO set features an impressive tower with a big door that opens to reveal a platform where you can transform a James Bond-like figure into a skeleton. The top of the building showcases a container with a skull that swivels 360°, along with a moving translucent purple plate and a spot to store a brain. The set includes a diverse range of minifigures: a gentleman, a lady, a skeleton, a mad scientist, and a Frankenstein monster. It's a really fun set with engaging features and a great selection of characters.”

Time to build a monster! What monster movie is complete without a scary laboratory? Walk through the rusty gate and you're in the lab of the mad scientist! He's been making monsters all day, and he would just love a little company. Set up the camera (available only in set 1349) and catch the action as the hero enters the secret door. Spin the skeleton head and the hero is gone – and there's a skeleton in his place!
