Newly released on the LEGO Shop is a new Seasonal set with the Halloween Barn (40721). It has 205 pieces and retails for $14.99. The set does come with a very generic skeleton minifigure that we’ve seen before so it’s nothing special. A unique minifigure like a scarecrow or vampire would’ve been better. The barn has your spooky haunted house feel to it with the different colored boards and the crosses next to the window and door which has some hidden surprises. When you open them both up, there’s an eye that peers through the window and a mouth behind the door. The back of the barn is pretty bare but it does have a bottle and cauldron on either side of the door. Overall the LEGO Halloween Barn (40721) could be a set that kids can enjoy although they won’t get much out of it once they have built it...

When it comes to his finalized lighthouse design, you can tell that Sandro and the LEGO design team took just as much care in injecting as much character as they could into that endeavor as well. It is mentioned...
