“This is one of my favourite Lego castles... that's saying something. (I have all the Castle line castles.) Obviously this one wouldn't be great for defending against a horde of knights, but it's got stacks of character. Highly recommended set for build, display & play... More functions.”

“If you are a big fan of the Monster Fighter series you will definitely want to purchase this set. The playability factor, variety of pieces, and six minifigures are all a great unified collaboration. However, the new Haunted House drives a hard bargain and provides just as... More many great elements if not more.”
