2012 was definitely one of the best years for Lego imo
Spitbrix GREAT LEGO monster fighter 💥
I would agree 100% started in 2010 and just got better. Then dropped off as of late. But that 2010 2011 2012 had special sets.
no the 90s were
Yeah. Hero Factory also peaked at that point with some of its best sets and Greg Farshtey stepping in to expand the story outside the TV episodes.
One of the best years of THIS century as Lego took a dive after the late 90s
It’s themes like these that make me wish lego would rerelease themes on occasion. Sure it’s unlikely they’d do it, but it would be nice none the less.
Oh man, I loved Monster Fighters. It was one of my first Lego themes I was interested in. And a long with Chima, solidified my love for Lego.
Same
I grew up on this time period with monster fighters chima and ninjago it was one of the best times for legos
Too bad they were both discontinued :(
Chima was the best along with the first 7 seasons of Ninjago! (Before Lego updated the graphics and made Ninjago trash)
@@Goat.i.s.h old school ninjago was the best what’s ur favorite season from the first 7 mines 4
Same
One of the most underrated Lego themes ever
Agreed, it’s definitely my all time favorite.
I’m so sad they stopped😭
Rodney Rathbone’s last name is probably a reference to Basil Rathbone. He was an actor who starred in a lot of old school horror movies (though he’s probably more well remembered as Sherlock Holmes).
I remember him for narrating The Wind & The Willows (the old Disney version).
Jack mchammer is probably a refrence to M.C Hammer and Major Quinton Steele is most likely a gag at Flint and Steel
"These were the first minifigures to feature any prosthetics" Chief from rock raiders sitting sadly in the corner
Some pirate minifigures might also object to that statement.
Sawfist and Dr. Inferno from the Agents line....
And most important of all: Darth Vader!
“…as assistive devices”?
@@I_KnowWhatYouAre I'd say a robot arm replacing a fleshy stub is pretty assistive, regardless of how science-fictiony it is
The nostalgia hits for me. I got the train set as a gift when I was 7. I want to have the set again someday.
Really nostalgic for me as well ! Tho I got smaller sets.
i got the same set around the same age too huh weird
@@whammer9992 it is such a good one! Was hard to build. Couldn't finish the train as I was 7. However I did finish the Thunder Raider from that era lol
This theme should’ve had a tv show
I’ve been obsessing over the same idea. I’d definitely watch it.
I am your 60th like: a de facto, mile stone
They should’ve had a tv series or a movie like ninjago, there’s still a big fan base with people asking n demanding to bring the fighters back. No reason that they retired this theme such a waste of potential
A fantastic theme, and definitely worthy of a second wave!
Didn't know the whole back story but I just loved the aesthetics of this theme. Only have two of the sets I regret not buying more at the time.
Yes, LEGO, please brink back cool looking themes like this! There's way too many mechs nowadays...
Case in point: of the themes I'm interested in, every other build on the shelf is a mech...
The early 2010s were an interesting era for Lego for sure
I can't believe it's already been 11 years. I still have some of these Minifigures in great condition. My two younger siblings and I used to play with these for hours. Maybe Lego will do something similar soon.
same here, its been over 12 years and i still got them in good conditions
Man, Rodney Rathbone has come a long way from terrorizing the children of Odyssey...
Ha! I always thought they ripped that off from Odyssey. I grew up listening to that show WHILE building with LEGO so seeing that name pop up in a LEGO Magazine was…weird.
The coffin was also used in pharaoh's quest from 2011 but in dark blue
I actually wasn't too interested in this theme at the time but that Haunted House blew me away - back when modulars were the kings of sets, it was astonishing to see something that wasn't a cityscape set with such detail. I had it displayed for years.
I hope we get a monster theme again soon, this line was just fantastic!
I love legos, I love monsters, I love horror, and Halloween is my favorite holiday. The Lego Monster Fighters is definitely my favorite lego series ever, it’s my childhood obsession. I got every set except for the haunted house. The werewolf is definitely one of my favorites, what’s yours?
Halloween is my favourite holiday too
@@DogDayFromPoppyPlaytime180 It’s the best!!! 🎃👍
My favourite is easily the ghost train
@@LEGO_Werewolfhow did you get the zombies set that’s the only one I need 😢.
@@dylanverstraete5323 I can’t remember if it was for Christmas or for my birthday but it was a gift for one of those occasions when the sets were still being sold in stores.
Actually, Jack McHammer’s arm was first used in Agents 2009, 3 years before this theme came out
Yeah, same as the coffin piece which was also used in the pyramid from pharaos quest
Not to mention that the very first minifigs with any prosthetics were in the first Pirate theme waaay back in 1989.
@@jarekwrzosek2048 Yeah, and if not that rockraiders chief.
@@grijn37 The bottom half originally comes from the adventurers theme's first wave in 1998, however the coffin top piece used in monster fighters is original to the theme.
Such a great theme! Working on a Lego Ideas project that's very similar! :D
man monster fighters looked so cool thinking about it, i was 12 when this set came out and it was around the time i got out of legos and sold my collection. hopefully i can get that train set someday!
I had the swamp monster, werewolf & the hearse sets. Think I had the mummy set, but I can't recall. I really loved them & I still do, it's a very grown up & mature theme for Lego to give kids with zombies & vampires, I don't think there's another like it & I definitely would love it if they did another like this again.
I had the Swamp Creature! You're really bringing back memories for me I still have it too. I just with I kept the instructions for it
0:23 Frankenstein's Monster
Always found the stones and figures to be so cool as a kid
By far my second favorite lego theme, I hope one day Lego will do something New or Similar like it.
One of the themes I have in its entirety, including promos and poly bags. One of my favs!
They should bring back the theme but also bring the other known monsters like slashers, dream demons, Onis, Djinns, self aware the invisible man, robots, aliens, cyborgs, the headless horseman, wraiths, spirits, etc.
how they gonna make an invisible man in lego??
@@SmokeFactoryinvisible bricks duh
@@SmokeFactory transparent minifigure blocks duh
4:25 people in the UK also got it free with the sun newspaper one week when they did LEGO promotions, its the only monster fighters set I got
I had the entire range, and I have to say that the castle, lab and house were my favourite, they all well designed and came with a good range of Minifigures, though I still have the 3 larger sets somewhere, I never did get around to build the castle, it's still in the box?
Personally, I liked the Scooby Doo sets much better as I liked the characters, it also helped that around that time they were released, the monster range of Minifigures came along to go with this.
And you are right about the zombie bride & groom, they ended up on a lot of wedding cakes?
My kids were 5 when these sets came out. They loved them. Lego sets seemed so much more fun back then,
My favorite theme, they definitely need to bring it back
I LOVE this theme and I have every set except the zombies and the haunted house as neither was ever sold in Finland
Was the first theme that got me truly excited to collect all of them
It’d be interesting if they brought back the “zombie bride” in an Edgar Allan Poe-themed set.
Spitbrix - first Legos with prosthetics.
Darth Vader - Am I a joke to you?
Captain Redbeard, 1989, had a peg leg, hook hand and an eye patch.
I kinda miss such a theme !
Lost but not forgotten like my sanity
Zoo wee mama
@@-carson- Zoo wee no-mama
@@pilsudskygm3377 zoo wee no-dada
@@pilsudskygm3377 zoo wee batman
this was my favorite theme back then. i still have most of the vampire castle on my shelf
5:22 I have that lego set with the swamp monster,it's really cool.😎
2:29 these were the first minifigures to have Prosthetic limbs as assistive devices
Agents from 2008 to 2009: am I a joke too you !!!
This theme was great. It felt like a return of Johnny Thunder wich went against Basel the batlord of the Fright knights. Also, many of the minifigs in this series is slightly modified versions of CMF figures.
6:26 That set definitely passes Half-asleep Chris's criteria of "Does it come with a lego frog"
7:41, Technically, "Frankenstein" is the name of the doctor who creates the monster. Victor Frankenstein. The monster doesn't really have a name. He's often referred to the "creature" or "beast". Believe me, I read the book when I was in high school.
The monster's name was Adam, I believe.
@@MrJoeyWheeler No, not exactly. He referred to himself as the "Adam of Victor's creations". He read the Bible and several other books in that small family's cottage whenever they weren't home.
yes, i have the swamp creature set. I absulutely wish for Lego to bring bck this theme because it was my favaourite. I remember looking at the sets for hours in the Lego catalouge.
Monster fighters was my favorite line ever made. The ghost train is my favorite set ever made.
The crazy scientist is Dr.Frankenstein
The monster is just a monster
I want more glow-in-the-dark pieces, they are so cool and great for mosaics!
Important note: In Frankenstein Shelley's story the scientist was called Victor Frankenstein. The monster was left unnamed
Even if he was unnamed the creature could be considered to be his creators "son" and thus a Frankenstein, even if Victor never gave him a first name....
@@minnion2871 …have you read the book? the treatment of the monster by Victor is the whole point of the novel and it is so important to recognise that a paternal relationship is completely antithetical to Shelley’s intention.
@@jackcurtis1670 I thought her intent was to show among other things what bad parenting can do to a person...
I mean technically, his name is demon, that's what basically everyone calls him
@@headcrabking9054 and your name is _Asshole_ because thats what everyone calls you? I don't think it works this way.
These are so cool! This video just made me want a set I never even knew of before😂
Definitely my favorite line 🥲 still have all the sets
I had all of these except the haunted house as a kid. I rediscovered the theme a few days ago and now I want to go through my bins and rebuild them in time for Halloween this year
I remember absolutely loving these sets when I was younger and I begged my parents for one everytime we went shopping so I was able to get all of them except the haunted house, and the graveyard one.
6:38 That car did certainly dig through the ditches and burn through the witches that Rob, the driver minifigure, had slammed in the back of the car.
I would really love for Lego to do an revisit of this theme and others. How cool would it be if they did a revisit of Rock Raiders, Ice Planet, And others?
first ever to have lego prothstetics? you forgeting my man LEGO Agents?
The Monster Fighters theme was just Lego trying to revitalize the old Lego Adventures theme. The “heroes” are pretty much the same in both themes.
Formerly titled: Inside LEGO's Vampire Addiction
I have the Ghost Train, and I think it’s the best of this theme
This, Mixels, and Monster Fighters, are classics. But I think my favorite theme is Chima. I even think Chima is better than modern day Ninjago. We got unique animal based sets and now all we get are un memorable junior sets and other sets that are just so un detailed.
Man your pumping out these videos
i love this theme
Same, it’s my childhood.
This theme has so many iconic minifigures that people still recognise to THIS day, like the Vampire and the Swamp Creature
The glow in the dark skeleton head was also in a small set from that adventure style series, that ine that i feel like whas inspired by indiana jones
I may have only gotten 3 sets, but this theme was always up there with Marvel, DC and Harry Potter as one of my favorite lego themes
Awesome series
Great theme.
I collected these ones and they were by far my favorite and most fondly remembered, I miss my ghost train everyday
Man I love these. I got all of these except for the mansion back in 2012-2013.
Literally same here, I got all including the polybags but I haven’t gotten the Haunted House.
@@LEGO_Werewolf Yep definitely my Lego white whale.
This was one of my favourite themes ever. I have them all apart from the train.
I much prefer LEGO's own IPs than all the movie franchise nonsense.
Haunted House is not a Modular, it’s a Dolls House design.
It can be converted though.
I only got the Werewolf set, but man, it was my favorite. I still have it intact mostly.
The werewolf set is my favorite too. It was the very first lego set I ever got.
I never knew where it came from but I am pretty sure in my old Lego collection I had 2 of the coffin cars I am in the uk is this possible ?
I believe the coffin car was also a gift with copies of the sun, an english newspaper, the paper would come with a coupon you could exchange for various lego polybags during certain weeks with a different bag each day.
The paranormal investigator theme was taken over by Scooby-Doo and then Hidden Side sets, but right now its open territory for a relaunch of Monster Fighters.
I loved this theme so much and wanted every set. My brother and I had most of them.
Yes, I loved those sets, have some of them. Glow in Dark, that's so nice.
One of the few themes I would like to come back from Lego, since I missed out on this run. I do have most of the zombie bride, as I got her off eBay for about $18usd. Only things missing are her dress and hair piece. She's also one of the "goriest" minifigs I've seen from Lego, as her eye looks to be gouged out leaving behind a bloody eyesocket.
This was my favorite theme when I was younger!
They need to bring this theme back it pays tribute n homage to everyone who worked at universal studios during the raving classic monster era. I contacted Lego a few months ago asking them about them potentially bringing back the monster fighters. They really didn’t seem all that interested in it but are “always open to new ideas”, I think that they will bring them back hopefully before Halloween
Wished there was a TV series like Ninjago.
Same here!!! I’ve been obsessing over the same idea, I’d definitely watch it.
Man I miss this theme.
This should bring back in the steam every single Halloween
2:32 Ah! Not true! Chief from Rock Raiders had a prosthetic arm in Dark Turquoise. Granted, he was only released in a very limited quantity as part of the minifigure heroes lineup, but he was the TRUE first Minifig with a prosthetic
This had potential
these sets are so nostalgic to me.
i got myself the giant castle in 2nd grade or so and saved up all the 90€ or so that it costed on my own and i was so proud of my self XD
Also i have 5 of these sets and still remember how badly i wanted the train...
damn the memories rly be kicking back in
I loved this line so much, and they were super hard to get in my area so I only have one of the swamp monster sets but I have always wanted to get the rest
Lego had also done a Classic Monsters theme before in 2002 with Lego Studios: Horror
I still have the swamp set and I loved it as a child, I've always wanted the train and the house. I hope I can get them some day
My most favorite series fr
Lego monster fighters and lego Dino were two of my favorite themes when i was a kid!
I think most if not all of the monster figures have come out in the CMF series. There are those who also think the Goth Boy and Goth Girl were the children of Lord Vampire and his bride. Also that the Vampire bride changed her look and was the Spider Mistress. Even more that is was the Vampire bride/Spider Mistress who mom-guilted Goth Boy into dressing as a spider for the costume party series.
This is the reason I loved Hiddenside so much
Maybe one day Lego will bring this set back
If you could Make/Design your own custom official Lego Minifigure/Minifigures(1-3) who/what would it/thay be?
1)White Wherewolf (Female),
2)Frankenstein's Bride,
3)Cupid,
nice video SpitBrix but there is one thing I did not understand: why these sets were interrupted?
Not sure if anyone has said this yet: 2:27 the robotic arm piece did appear previously in the 2008 Agents line, making this not the first series to have prosthetic limbs. (of course there is also the peg leg and hook hands from the priates and alpha team lines but i get why those would be ignored.)
I had all of the main line sets as a kid but lost most of them to the bin. I just recently managed to rebuild the castle, lab, and tree, and also expanded on the swamp. I unfortunately never had the haunted house or cemetery (which for some reason had a moon stone which didn't fit with the rest in the castle)
Oh man i had the hearse, chariot and castle as a kid. Fun stuff
I had the werewolf set. And this theme’s overall vibe and aesthetic burned into my little 12 year old brain and influenced me so greatly that you can see pretty clear influences of it in my College Thesis XD
My first 2 Lego sets were the monster fighters vampire castle and haunted house, I still display the haunted house for Halloween every year
I've always wanted one of this sets when I was a kid!
