The Ghost Train truly is a remarkable set, and very original design (or just really special?). Three ghosts, 2 Monster Fighters, a plane, and a sick looking train.
I wasn't planning on getting this set any time soon, but I had enough money to get this and the Vampyre Castle, Hearse too. The set has a smaller price tag than LEGO's $120, I got mine for $99 (woohoo!).
The Figures
The figures are all good, I've reviewed them all before in previous reviews, so I'll do smaller reviews.
- Ghosts
Good figures, though with the legs they just look odd, I preferred the 2x1 flat piece with a 2x1 brick. The new shroud is cool, I like it. Better than the old one.
- Frank Rock
Each LEGO theme has a set out: The leader, the heavy utility weapon man, the crazy old man no one likes, the female companion, and the teenager, Frank Rock. Nice printing on him, but using revolvers is boring me, I really want the teenager to be less...violent.
- Ann Lee
Good figure, best Monster Fighter in my opinion. Nice harpoon pieces, rubber hair, and crossbow :D. Pity she doesn't include a broom stick for her broomstickajitzu powers.
The Plane
Very cool plane, though lacks room for both of them. I actually like the flick fires on the plane, they really hold the ship together, and look good. The vacuum weapon is hilarious, and amazingly good feature XP. Dark red fits the plane, though in the preliminary images, it was shades of blue. I do wish the propeller worked better, but hey, you get what you get, it's not like I can't customize it to make it look extremely awesome ;)
Train
The locomotive part is the best carriage part, I just loved building it. So much fun, and with the cowcatcher on the front of it, It's just so good. Inside the driver's area is a little door displaying the engine, with trans red cones and a trans red feather, which really should be green, like the exhaust. Lots of GiD pieces on the first carriage - 5.
The carts are lot like roller-coaster carts, with the pull-it-down bar to hold the figure in. The flappy wing feature is pretty cool, when it moves, there is a piece, from BIONICLE which blocks the wings form moving, but with the wheels allows it to move up and down. The wings are really good pieces, though. I htink there is about 4 GiD pieces
