LEGO News: August’s Creator 3-in-1 Launches—Haunted Mansion & Medieval Horse Knight Castle
With summer in full swing, the LEGO Creator line is gearing up to drop two brand-new 3-in-1 sets on shelves this August - and they’re already stirring plenty of buzz. Whether you gravitate toward spooky stories or heroic jousts, there’s something special waiting in the wings. Here’s a first look at what builders aged 9 + (and a fair few adults, if we’re honest) can look forward to next month.
LEGO Investment Insight: Why These Two New Sets Could Be Future Classics.
LEGO 31167 Haunted Mansion
The Haunted Mansion packs 736 pieces into a two-storey manor that rises roughly 25 cm high, 24 cm wide and 15 cm deep - just big enough to loom over its own graveyard without taking over an entire shelf. A wrought-iron-style gate swings open to reveal a tumbledown façade, while the back wall hinges outward so you can peer into an organ-filled parlour or spin a hidden wheel that summons a glow-in-the-dark ghost. Because it’s a Creator 3-in-1, the same bricks can be re-arranged into a spectral paddle-wheel ship or a haunted locomotive and station platform—perfect for kids who like to remix their builds. Five classic monster minifigures (werewolf, vampire, Frankenstein’s monster, ghost and skeleton) round out the cast for instant storytelling, and the detachable scary tree practically begs for spooky stop-motion videos.
LEGO 31168 Medieval Horse Knight Castle
Swinging from chills to chivalry, the Medieval Horse Knight Castle spreads 1,371 pieces across a fortress that stands about 31 cm high, stretches 36 cm wide and spans 30 cm deep when fully assembled. The imposing walls hinge open dollhouse-style, revealing a great hall, blacksmith’s forge, royal bedchamber, and a secret treasure stash—while a hefty drawbridge and twin tower terraces add plenty of action up top. Rebuild the parts into a tournament jousting arena or a medieval village centred on a working windmill, then populate the scene with six minifigures (led by a mounted king and his champion) and two poseable horses. Whether you’re staging battles or feasts, the set’s generous footprint offers space for plenty of drama.
Final Thoughts
Both sets embody the LEGO® Creator 3-in-1 ethos: rich detail, play-friendly interiors and the freedom to rebuild when inspiration strikes. We’ll dive into full, hands-on reviews once these kits officially launch in August, but early impressions suggest they’re well worth adding to your watchlist. Keep an eye on those store shelves—whether you’re chasing ghosts or galloping into battle, August can’t come soon enough!
