Def not a modular, it opens differently, it not build on a standard 32x32 baseplate and of course is part of the Monsters theme. However, i can see a lot of people adding it to their modular/city collection of buildings as it certainly is a nice large building, even if it does look a bit out of place and would be difficult to access when placed next to the true modular buildings.

With that modification it feels like it belongs with the other buildings

I'm sitting on so many of these that I'm very interested in opening one up and building it. Looks incredibly fun

I know the Monster Fighters theme will be gone in June, but is there a chance that the Haunted House set will stick around a little while longer after the majority of the theme's sets have been discontinued? Or is it scheduled to go in June as well?

Its an exclusive and a money maker for LEGO......it will stick around for a while.

it'll be around until hollween prob longer if you look at other modular sets

It is actually quite the opposite, the less its talked about the easier it is to find when doing a search. Depends on what question or answer you are looking for really.

170 at Amazon--no tax and free shipping for most of us.  Bought 2!  Not much of a discount--but I have been wating for a price break forever.  10 bucks is better than nothing.

Just saw this. I'm in for 3 at this price.

Thanks for posting.  Maybe this move will be followed by more discounts.

Nice deal! Thanks for posting!

Thanks for posting!  I just picked up 2.  I hope the rumor of one and done is right about these sets... regardless, I do enjoy them.  I also have this set as the "creepy house" at the end of my modular street. 

I lucked out and this set was in my quick pick deal of the day section so it was 10% off.  Thanks for the heads up

This price isn't bad. Not sure I want to get it just yet though. I hope to have at least 5 though before its retired.

Hold onto your hats

Man wish 170$ or 119

I got 2 Haunted Houses with the Amazon Visa card for $297.49, and 2 with my son's Amazon card for $308.95 that brings me up to 26 Haunted Houses. You guys waiting for rock bottom prices might miss the boat on this set. Nobody's know's when this set is retiring, but you saw the panic buying on Jabba's palace, well wait til this and the Death Star retiring soon show's up, then we will see real over the top people going crazy panic buying.

26 Haunted Houses! Thats awesome!

I have the space but not the $$$ to hold too many 'big' sets...so I returned 2 HH today (20% off at TRU.ca promo).  Figured since I have 4 HH already, I'll put the $300ish into other sets instead of Monsters.  So far only 4 HH and 1 VC which I'm ok with.  Time will tell if my HH returns were smart or not.   

this is in my amazon gold box for 161 today. I might have to pull the trigger

Damn, you folks have it good Looking at the prices here in Europe I feel really lucky that I got two Haunted Houses for 172 USD + shipping today.

Ed, I respect your opinion on these matters perhaps more than anyone else on this site.  I'm just not convinced that the HH is a good buy right now.  The discount isn't the issue either.  I'm certain that even when/if it does go on sale, that given its exclusive nature I'll likely be restricted in the number of sets I'll be able to aquire at a discounted price.  I'm also expecting it to soar in value once retired, selling eventually for 5-600 or perhaps even more by the time I'm ready to unload.  Therefore I'm less concerned about my buy in price, since saving 20 or 30 dollars now will not significantly impact my projected profits.

 

My concern is this set will be available at retail for 2+ years, long after the rest of the Monster Fighters line has vanished.  Every dollar I tie up in one of these is a dollar less I can invest in a Vampyre Castle (right now I can get roughly 2 1/2 for every HH, which I feel is a superior investment).  There are also numerous other sets I believe will be strong performers in EOL, which again will have dollars allocated away from them and tied up in this large set which may take years to see retirement.

 

I really wish I had a crystal ball and could predict the future.  Since I don't though, I have to go with my gut which tells me the downside risk of being tied up in an investment that could take years to see a return is too great vs. the potential for a big gain.  Especially when compared to the close contemporary VC which we have rock solid evidence of imminent retirement. 

 

Again, I respect the heck out of you Ed and you may end up being right here.  If HH vanishes in a month along with the rest of the line I'll gladly sit here with egg on my face.  At least I'll have a mountain of VCs so I won't be completely empty handed
