I decided to celebrate Friday the 13th by building the Halloween set. This set (40260) cost $9.99 and has 145 pieces. It took about 35 minutes to put together and take pictures. The box has a funny scene on the back:
Excluding the large brown plate, all of the pieces are divided between two bags:
The back of the instruction booklet has a picture of the Thanksgiving Harvest set (40261). I'll be getting it soon!
Here are all of the pieces from the bags:
The set comes with a "normal" minifigure, a skeleton minifigure, a red spider, and a gray rat:
The instructions start off with the cauldron and the rat with a pumpkin:
Now on to the main build:
And here is everything together:
This is a great little Halloween set. I love the jack-o'-lantern and the gates. Using the plant stalks as a tree with the silhouette of the buildings is a great touch. This set has also added some different colors to my brick collection. It's nice to have this yellow-orange shade of bricks and the color green they used for the plant stalks and the round tiles is interesting. The spiky plates in the set are also very interesting and I can't wait to see what I can do with them. Here is a close up of the jack-o'-lantern and a couple of the spiky pieces:
Overall, this is a great Halloween set and I can't wait to get the Thanksgiving and Christmas ones. It's a lot of fun building these little holiday sets and it's always interesting to see what colors and types of pieces they include that can be useful in other builds. And of course it's always great to have new minifigures for my collection. Thanks for reading!
