Minifigures One of my all time favourites

Great figure from a great line! Monster Fighters is a classic theme at this point. Absolute tragedy that the zombie set was and is so hard to get. Ghost train is easily one of the best in the whole line.

Fun story: my wife is new to Lego. Loves the botanicals and Halloween stuff in general. We recently built the haunted mansion together. It blew her mind when I showed her that the Lego ghost glow in the dark. She legit wrote Lego and told them to keep making spooky stuff so she can have a spooky Lego village for Halloween.

I have the old ghost version from back when I was a kid, and I used to play with it all the time. It was one of my favourite minifigures. When I later could combine it with the skeleton minifigure, I had the ultimate horror in my LEGO universe! The only one brave enough to stand up against "the Ghoul" was Majisto. I just called him "the Wizard", though. I had modified him with a cape and a staff and he rode a green dragon 🐉 He was the only one who could banish the Ghoul to its tomb. I was a weird kid 🤣 Man, the glow in the dark function brings back memories 😊

By the way if your wife likes spooky LEGO creations, you should tip her about my recent one. I've made a gothic cathedral inspired car 😝 https://www.reddit.com/r/lego/s/aCvMDfhtuP

Hahaha niceee. Definitely pick up some of the Monster Fighters sets then as they have a bunch of glow in the dark stuff. Vampyre castle even has glow in the dark ivy stickers

Sometimes. Monster fighters is notable in that most of the glow elements were cut at aome point in production. So for example the mummy minifigure can either glow or not glow, the hearse hood is the same, and unfortunately the ivy stickers on the castle also work like this. Though at least with the ivy they changed the design slightly and I almost prefer the non glow version

u/LordSky2040 12h ago

Oh, I haven't had that problem with any of my glow stickers they've worked from day one. That's unfortunate to hear that some don't work

1

u/thebravestkoala 12h ago

Not they don't work, at somepoint in production they redesigned them and cut the glow out purposefully

u/LordSky2040 12h ago

Dang glad I got an early model one

Oh yea Rock Raiders is a certified classic. Someone just remade the og game and added a bunch of stuff. Can't remember the name tho. One of my first sets ever was from Rock Raiders
