Haunted Manor

Post by Megan Rothrock »

Hey guys!

Halloween is almost around the corner and I’ve been meaning to post this for awhile…
It’s the largest of my ‘Transportable LEGO Boxes’

There are lots of surprises to discover!
I was going for an old manor house crossed with a bit of a“Scooby Doo’ feel thrown in for fun.
And….after play it all goes away! Take it anywhere :D

Cheers-

That is simply gorgeous.

The detail is wonderful! I love the playability you've incorporated.

That's just too cool. I hope if you had a Halloween party, you could display it. Awesome all around.

Amazing! That shows a great deal of thought and ingenuity. I love how compactable it is while still retaining a very nifty look. Quite alot going on as well, is the ghost serving drinks? Nice work. Very festive as well!

I love the whole Pandora's Box theme. It is a wonderful machine you have created there. 8)

Hey guys!

Well wow!!! Thank you all for your kind words.

I'm very happy to see you like it as much as I do.
I was just at Skearbeak (sorry if I spelled it wrong) Danish event!
There I demoed the Haunted Manson for the kids/visiting parents, they really liked it, and the trapdoor was always a hit.

I had a lot of fun, met some great people and saw some amazing mocs! Also picked up a little more Danish.

To the comment of what LEGO should be doing-well one can dream...
I really like the concept, and so do the kids (of all ages).

Cheers-

Megan
