Vampyre Castle Reviews
Eurobricks
“This is one of my favourite Lego castles... that's saying something. (I have all the Castle line castles.) Obviously this one wouldn't be great for defending against a horde of knights, but it's got stacks of character. Highly recommended set for build, display & play... More functions.”
BZPower
“If you are a big fan of the Monster Fighter series you will definitely want to purchase this set. The playability factor, variety of pieces, and six minifigures are all a great unified collaboration. However, the new Haunted House drives a hard bargain and provides just as... More many great elements if not more.”
