Zombie Chauffeur Coffin Car 30200 - Review

It's kind of funny that the only two Monster Fighters sets I own are the smallest ones available. I already reviewed the Ghost polybag that's sold at Target (if you can still find them on the shelves), and now I want to take a closer look at the Coffin Car.

I managed to find them on the Toys R Us website during the brief period it was available online. Thankfully, I also found a Christmas present on sale to help get to the free shipping threshold. My local TRU is a bit of a drive for fishing expeditions on the exclusive poly sets, so I'm very happy when I can get my hands on them online. Even if the TRU price is $4.99 on a pretty small set.

Getting in the Halloween spirit

Picking up the ghost and clock polybag set a few weeks ago got my holiday creative juices flowing. I just felt the little guy looked so lonely standing out in the open with nothing but a clock to keep him company. If I had my way, I would be adding the Haunted House to my collection this fall. I don't expect that to happen very soon though. The set is just a little too expensive and I would rather wait for some sort of a sale when it eventually hits Amazon down the road.

Thankfully, messing around on LEGO Digital Designer and some inventory surfing on Bricklink gave me a few fun ideas for a little scene featuring the clock and ghost.

Monster Fighters Ghost 30201 - Review

I stopped by Target on Friday to see if I could get lucky with the new Monster Fighters polybag and was happy to find an end cap fully stocked. Street date on this is supposed to be September 9th, but I guess they pushed up the Halloween reset a little early at this store.

Polybags are really growing on me as nice little single shot sets that are fun to collect and satisfy that urge to just build something. This set is a perfect example of what they have to offer. It's also a good Halloween decoration that I can leave out for the next two months without it being very obvious.

Monster Fighters now available for order

I just received an email from LEGO informing me that Monster Fighters sets are now available online, at least in the US. Good news for those who still need to get an order together for their Hulk minifigure. I guess. As I've said before, I'm not really going too crazy for this theme.

Monster Fighters mini-site up

LEGO.com has launched the theme page for the upcoming Monster Fighters line. No product shots on the main site yet, but those are readily available all over the place from toy shows earlier this year. Box arts have also started circulating in the last few days, along with expected retail prices and piece counts.
