Johnny_Lemonhead Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 It seems to me that by now we should either have leaked info/images of Halloween 2014 sets/polybags or we should have a "coming soon" entry at Lego.com. I base this on the fact that last year Lego started selling the 40055 pumpkin on August 31 and the year before was much the same. So, we are two weeks away from when they would normally release the set and there is not any info I cn find. Has anyone found anything out that I haven't been able to find with trusty Googling?

loki221978 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 i agree, i havent found anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinP Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 We should have seen the sets (if any) for a new Halloween theme by now, unless Lego is keeping it very secret and no one is leaking info and pictures of them. As for the yearly polybag, I wouldn't worry about it. It's just a polybag, and you will most likely get it in time for Halloween. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biniou Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Still 2 months and a half. Things can happen. But it also seems that this year there are lot of themes for LEGO to be focused on: Super heroes movies (avengers, guardians of the galaxy...), Batman (tumbler...), SW (rebels), Hobbit (3rd movie), Seasonal (santa), the increasing of the Friends theme, Juniors, Ideas... and Halloween may be considered less important than the other years, at least for 2014. Plus, the Monster fighters Haunted house is more or less disappearing. Not a good idea to mix themes with a new one IMO. Maybe we'll see a polybag or a little set (like the teddy bear for valentine's day or the easter egg rabbit) but that's it. Just my 2 cents.

Grolim Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Haven't seen anything either. Good time to start selling off the MF theme sets perhaps. I have a few Ghost polybags that might do well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOrcKing Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I didn't know Lego would make a big thing about a small seasonal polybag for Halloween. I would wonder what new could be done exactly aside from another pumpkin or witch. Perhaps a skull head or cauldron? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inversion Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 A WV-like yearly release of a 80-100$ exclusive Halloween set would be totally awesome. Although Halloween itself may not be an important occasion shopping-wise but I bet most people would totally love the theme to make it sell. Graveyard, witch hut, haunted asylum, mad scientist lab etc. So many excellent opportunities to exploit. At least they would do certainly better than the Mixer in my opinion. Classic monsters are popular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably smarter than having the monster fighters theme year round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bricketycricket Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Wish they'd release some cool polybag that I could integrate into the Haunted House. (Tombstone, casket, etc.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citymorgue Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I would love another big Halloween themed set, but it seems unlikely. I'm sure the monster fighters was a good theme, but i wonder if it was enough to keep it going. I'm just hinging on not even seeing another Halloween set for a couple of years.

marcandre Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I wouldn't mind not seeing any Halloween stuff for a while, large ones anyways. Maybe the vamp castle will start to move. I'll hand out a few Blacula Bunnies to the best dressed trick or treaters on Halloween. Love that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naf Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Wish they'd release some cool polybag that I could integrate into the Haunted House.

Was even on sale at Lego shops. http://brickset.com/sets/850487-1/Halloween-Accessory-Set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny_Lemonhead Posted August 26, 2014 Author Share Posted August 26, 2014 I can't begin to describe how devastated I am to see that this abomination is the Holloween set for this year. Putting aside for a moment the ill-advised move from polybags to boxes for seasonal issues, this set is purely horrid. They had a chance to make something neat with 150 or so pieces and this is what they came up with? A Donnie Darko bunny? Seriously, this has been a bad year for Lego IN MY HUMBLE OPINION. I have really hated this year of Lego issues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBrickClique Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I assumed it was a black cat. Ears are too short for a bunny. I like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny_Lemonhead Posted August 26, 2014 Author Share Posted August 26, 2014 It took my mother and I five minutes on the phone discussing this set before we realized that it is supposed to be a bat. At first glance it reads like a bunny. Then when you look some more it appears to be a cat. Then finally I realized it is suposed to be a freaking BAT. Great job Lego, you made a bat set that takes 5 minutes for Lego experts to realize is actually a bat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcandre Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Whatever it is I like it. Maybe dip the ends of the teeth in some red paint. I still say it's a bunny. It's sprouted wings after being bitten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huskers1236 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I thought it was a bunny, my son came right up and said "it's a bat, not a bunny". So there you go, you have to be 8 to understand the set. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
