Great review of a set we have enjoyed. The kids still use the self powered light
If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

Thanks for the review, indeed a nice set. Are the robot's legs interchangeable with skeleton legs? And how are their arms attached?

Yes, I just checked and the legs can be swapped between skeletons and this robot style no problem. Also note there is another version of this robot in the 5287 Mega Masters Razor-copter set. There is also another of the electric stand pieces (non-powered) in the 5638 Play Box Haunted House. The haunted house one lacks the coolest part though - the headpiece with all the wires. I have used it in my Christmas display for Santa programming in the past.

Thanks for this review, Tahra! It inspired me to acquire this funny set, even if it is miles from what I am collecting otherwise. And I haven't regretted it!

I just wanted to share that the same contents, with the addition of a metal detector air vehicle, has been released as set 5086. It seems an exclusive, even if I don't know for what retailer. It is available at European Amazon sites, but not (as far as I can see) at the American mother branch.

Best wishes
