Vindicare Posted February 21, 2012 Man I really hope they didn't get in trouble, I like to think they did it on purpose as any editing work is really precisise (you see each frame) so any editor worth anything would know they were releasing that shot and that the image would be spotted, its just too obvious to be an accident. its an interesting way to build hype if you ask me Look how many of us here are already foaming at the mouth ready to sink their teeth into this one. Me included. I LOVE Victorian houses and would die if they actually make this. Even a run down Vic is better than none at all. I know this may not be an actual run down Vic, but it appears to be close enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flipz Posted February 21, 2012 Man, that looks epic. Too bad LEGO's already sent all my money for me across the other lines... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Klaus-Dieter Posted February 21, 2012 (edited) Thank you all very much for the information, the pictures and the links! That hounted house does really look :wub: ! If it had open backwalls and a decent interior, it may well be that I will buy it. But if it had closed backwalls (like the regular modular sets and Creator sets), I for sure won't buy it. Judging by the length of the building, I fear that it is a regular modular set since buildings with open backwalls are always shorter (apart from those which have hinges (like MVV or the gas station in Town Plan) - but the haunted house doesn't seem to have some). So let's see. But for sure is imo that this is not a starter set for a Halloween theme (like the Winter theme) since Halloween doesn't offer as many possibilities for sets like the Winter theme does. I hope that we'll get more information soon. But since this set surely won't be sold before fall, I highly doubt that we'll get more information and pictures before summer.

I know this may not be an actual run down Vic, but it appears to be close enough. foaming at the mouth is fine as long as your don't start getting the urge to sink your teeth in people rather than LEGO, I too will definatly be getting this if it comes out (which I think it will), it just looks too cool and like something I have not seen them build before.

Ogre Posted February 23, 2012 I don't care what theme it's for, so long as it comes out THIS YEAR and (the most important point) I can afford it. LOL It looks exactly like the sort of thing I've hoped for years that LEGO would release. If they also toss out a really cool graveyard to park next to it (sort of like the one from Harry Potter, but cooler), I would be over the moon! Halloween is looking good this year!

JasonV Posted February 24, 2012 Very excited about this. I loved the detail of the modular sets but find the city setting a little boring. Something with a horror/halloween theme would be amazing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big T Posted February 27, 2012 If Lego did kind of let this image leak to see what people thought of it, I'd say it's a success. That looks like such a cool haunted house though. Exactly what you picture when you think of one. It's not something I'd normally get, but it looks too good to pass up. Worst case scenario, I convince myself to get it and MOD it into an Arkham Asylum Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
surrideo Posted February 27, 2012 It looked like a finished model from the video. I wonder if it will be a D2C Monster Fighters set or modular(Even Creator but it looks too big for that) Whatever theme it fits into it has so many uses as a modular, part of a city layout(Fireman.Police,nuisance kids), Monster Fighters,Harry Potter and Batman. If I thought about it further it could probably fit many more recent and past themes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Algernon Posted February 27, 2012 Sort of reminds me of the aesthetics of the Diagon Alley set. Definitely in a good way. Chances are, we'll see a press release about this sometime in the summer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chances are, we'll see a press release about this sometime in the summer. Be interesting to see its height in comparison to Diagon Alley and if it stood out too much.

Walter Posted March 5, 2012 It says the theme is Monster Fighters. Sweeeet! Can't wait to see the official images. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
forumreader Posted March 5, 2012 It says the theme is Monster Fighters. Sweeeet! Can't wait to see the official images. One of the admins at Brickset admitted that the Monster Fighters categorization was speculation, so the jury is still out on which theme this falls under.

Vindicare Posted March 5, 2012 I just hope it's going to be in the $150+/- price range. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sandy Posted March 16, 2012 This set looks fantastic! I doubt I'll have any money to buy it this year, though, with the other Monster Fighters and LotR sets coming up... If it had open backwalls and a decent interior, it may well be that I will buy it. But if it had closed backwalls (like the regular modular sets and Creator sets), I for sure won't buy it. I don't get this complaint. You can always leave the backwalls open when you build the set, can't you? Nobody's forcing you to follow the instructions to the teeth.

Flea Posted May 15, 2012 so, r2d2 has been revealed. any news about haunted house? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fyrmedhatt Posted May 17, 2012 so, r2d2 has been revealed. any news about haunted house? We know Jamie Berard will reveal a set during BrickFiesta from July 4-8, so my money is on then, as we only have a few exclusive sets left to reveal for the year, and he is unlikely to reveal a Star Wars exclusive (the UCS B-Wing), and that will be too early to reveal the Winter Village set. It also appears to be a high-quality structure worthy of being designed by Berard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Haltiamieli Posted May 17, 2012 It also appears to be a high-quality structure worthy of being designed by Berard. Though apparently the designer video will not feature Jamie Berard, as can be seen from the original screenshot. Or at least not just him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Blue Brick Posted May 17, 2012 I love the design and architecture of the house. When will it come out? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Graysmith Posted May 17, 2012 I hope they will announce this before Monster Fighters come out in my country.. Though I'm likely to still get the Vampyre Castle regardless of how awesome/expensive this one is.. But it'd be nice to know the details on this before I spend all my money on that castle.

TrumpetKing Posted May 23, 2012 Personally, I don't think that this will be a modular building. If you look at the right side, there is a small rectangle of building space. Modular buildings don't have overhangs like that one. Also, taking that into account, if this was a modular building, It would need to be a corner, but there isn't enough sidewalk surrounding it to make it a modular building. I think that this will just be an exclusive set of some sort, and it might be modular, just not of the modular building line. But that is just my opinion.

Yeah, I don't see this belonging with the other modular buildings. I hope you can detach floors in a modular fashion similar to that, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LEGOman273 Posted May 24, 2012 Yeah, I don't see this belonging with the other modular buildings. I hope you can detach floors in a modular fashion similar to that, though. Considering the fact that the back is bricked-up, I'd say that it would need removable floors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vindicare Posted May 24, 2012 Considering the fact that the back is bricked-up, I'd say that it would need removable floors. We don't know that yet. You can't exa tly tell from that one picture if it's open backed or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aanchir Posted May 25, 2012 We don't know that yet. You can't exa tly tell from that one picture if it's open backed or not. Another thing to consider-- since it obviously isn't trying to have flat walls on the sides like the modular buildings, it could very easily hinge open somewhere around the center. I think that would work well visually for a haunted house so each room could become a sort of a diorama. An open back could accomplish the same thing in some sets, but this one looks so deep that an open back alone might make all the rooms very dark and hard to access for play.
