The Vampyre Hearse Reviews
Eurobricks
“I'm fond of this set. Nice cycle, nice minifigures, nice coffin, wicked-awesome hearse. I've got an affinity for cool or unique LEGO vehicles, and this fits the bill to the cent (pretty sure I might've made up the second part of that expression). The function works really... More well and is fun to do over and over, plus there are no extraneous play features like flick-fires. It's mostly about the vehicle itself, with the function well-embedded.”
Brickset
“This is an excellent set. The hearse looks very good. I think it is very much in a Rat Fink/ souped up old car style. I think it fits with the Rat Fink style because of the smaller front wheels and large back wheels, big exhaust pipes on the side, huge engine that goes above... More where a hood would be, and general slant of the hearse with the front end much lower than the back.”
