850451- Lord Vampyre Key Chain

Another person to add the the Halloween/Autumn Party that is my quarterly rotating display table.  This well detailed figure is a member of the Monster Fighters theme, of which I have only one small set.

850487- Halloween Accessory Set

In opposition to what it may say in many ebay ads, this set is not related to the Monster Fighters theme.  It's formally named a Halloween set, but on the lego shop site it is under the Collectible Minigifures theme.  Lego created a few of these "combi-packs" with figures in a related theme (Rock Band, Beach) from different CM series', along with some items and little constructions to bring it all together.









The figures in this set are meant to be a collection of Zombie from Series 1, Witch from Series 2, and a ghost from no series.  We also get a tombstone construction, plants, accessories for each of the figures, and six animals.

30261- Tonto's Campfire

I wanted this nice little polypag mostly for the Tonto figure.  Little did I know that I'd be getting another set with him in it (79107- Comanche Camp) or that he would be released as a keychain figure, which can easily be turned into a normal figure with the aid of a soldering iron.

This set comes with Tonto, his tomahawk, and the campfire construction.

40033- Turkey

This is my very first Holiday set.  With this order, I purchased a couple Christmas ones, but I've decided to hold off on opening those until mid-December.  I don't really like calling these "sets", as to me, that implies that the scale fits in with the rest of the Lego Universe.  Micro, Architecture, and Mini sets are at their own varying but micro scale, which most collectors or hobbyists can imagine easily, so I think I'll settle on calling these Holiday sets "models".

40076- Zombie Car

I got this little set in September of 2012 as a "Free with $75 purchase" promotional lego.com was running.  I'm not beyond admitting that this car influenced how much I put into my virtual cart that day.  O.o

I like the idea and the figures of the Monster Fighters theme, but I don't like any of the sets enough to purchase, so this set was a nice way of getting a little bit of the theme without having to really buy anything.

7634- Tractor

I came across this little set while browsing my Lego Collector's Guide.  I had no idea there was a small Farm theme in 2009/2010!  I hope they bring this back in a few years and do a bit more with it. The only other set I liked in this small theme was the Pig Farm.  Loving Lego animals, I'd love to see a little chicken coop or dairy barn with at least 3 animals in each set and a a few tools/special pieces.

30210- Frodo with cooking corner

I was super excited to see this set online from Toys R Us.  I knew of its previous existence from Brickpedia and Brickset, but I thought it was a promotional item that was long gone, or not available in my area.  This polybag cost me $4.99, which seems spot on for a licensed set with some nice special pieces.  This Frodo is the same one that comes in set 9469- Gandalf Arrives.  So, little Frodo has a reversible head with a worried expression on the other side.  He also has some nice, shaggy hobbit hair.  The keg fits nicely on the little table so it doesn't roll away.  The flower seems pointless, but I like Lego flowers so I think it's a nice little homey touch.  I love all the special pieces it comes with, especially the sausage since this is my first of that food item.  The only thing I don't like about this set is that the frying pan half disappears under the hood of the cooking area, so it would be difficult to place anything on the frying pan.  I have plans to later place this set with 79003- An Unexpected Gathering, as that set does not appear to have a fireplace/stove/cooking area.  Hungry Hobbits need a place to cook and this set does the job.
