kerrmando Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 The Haunted House will perform well, once again even if everyone on this website had 2 of them, the ratio of buyers to sellers would still be fantastic... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandon90820 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Why do you care? You don't invest... yet! Oh! That Orc Forge makes you such a BA investor, doesn't it? correction: "the zombies" set makes you a BA investor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOrcKing Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Wow. So far, 11 out of 37 people think the Haunted House is a modular. That's like 30%. Amazing.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuckeyeFanDan Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I voted no. At first I thought it could be, but the more I thought about it, I decided no. Mainly because it doesn't connect to other modulars, but also because the floors do not lift off and it opens like a dollhouse. As a side note, I hope that LEGO designs more buildings that open like the Haunted House does. I prefer seeing the entire inside at once rather than one floor at a time.

If I were building a modular diaroma, the HH would be dead smack next to the Green Grocer on the block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmyh70 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Only $10 off, but first time I've seen it discounted. 10228 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicblast Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Thanks for the heads up. Won't be picking one up, since it looks like we still have some time to grab them, but if all else fails, I might just use a 10% off coupon. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legodog Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Thanks. Had some credit card points so I picked one up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a side note, I hope that LEGO designs more buildings that open like the Haunted House does. I prefer seeing the entire inside at once rather than one floor at a time. The problem with that style design is that you can't hinge open a house while it is connected to series of them on a city block. I understand that its nice to be able to get at the whole building but its not really a good implementation on a large layout, which really reinforces that it indeed is not a modular.

redeemed763 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 And its back up, I was hoping that would be one of those several week long sales, no such luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunMan3 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Do you think it will be on sale for a larger discount before it goes EOL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Mack Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Do you think it will be on sale for a larger discount before it goes EOL?Once it gets discounted on Amazon, there is a good chance it will be discounted again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redeemed763 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 There are many sets that don't ever get a large discount, especially ones this large and rare, since TRU has had for $170 before, I thought it was likely Amazon would sell it for that much as well at some point. I would be extremely pleased to see this for less than $170 considering how solid its price history has been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Studebricker Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 They have discounted the modulars $50 or so in the past, so that is what it would take for me to load up on these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Studebricker Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 I'm glad they hinged the HH. Lifting off each floor in the modulars is the main thing I don't like about them. If you really want to "play" with the modulars, it makes sense to space them apart anyway, in which case the lift off floors offer no advantage. Whereas if you just want to staticly display them, a hinged system would offer no disadvantage. But I'm not in charge at Lego, so this is what we get...

I think the reason they didn't go with a hinged system is because they have to be able to connect the buildings. Would make that part a little difficult. I do actually like the idea better though. My old blacksmith shop with the blue roof is my favorite set, largely because of the hinges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowstripe Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 In Lego's Designer video for this set: it is referred to by the product's designer as "a direct set". The word "modular" is not used in the video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOrcKing Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I found three 'modularized' takes on the Haunted House. First, here's one by Joe Miserendino (Unhalfbricking on flickr). Second, a mod by SunnyNightFever. And finally, one by Kristel (kjw010 on flickr). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
