What does 1017 on the coffin refer to? Anything? The numbers on the inside of the door are the set number so I assume this means something too.

I guess it is a mistake for 2017, the year of release, just like it was done (correctly!) on the Fackwerkhäuser and the Roman statue base.

Mm, that makes sense, thanks.
The framework one is still the best, it's actually part of the mould.

Well, my guess is, that 1017 is correct, it is the year that the Vampire was born / the human died ;-) , that makes sense in this case. The set nr on the door however, no exact clue...

Thanks for the close-up pics & the links to the US site!

Several of these US sets are must-haves for me, much more then the new European ones.
Especially the Haunted House and other Halloween-like sets!  8-)

I assume we won´t see them in Europe, like the Pirates´ Tavern Take-Along didn´t make it either. I got me the tavern one on ebay...with a lot of shipping-costs and high (re)import-costs.  ::) 8}
So HELP from US MEMBER(S) would be very much welcomed...

I am sure someone will step forward and help you, Hadoque. What I am less sure of is if there is any way around the cost of duties when exporting from the US. Shipping costs can be fairly steep, but the export duties are eye-watering!

There is a chance some of the "US" exclusives may be sold in the UK, certainly worth a look on UK sites....
And before the UK leaves the EU, export duties are non-existent to other EU countries. After that, who knows? Theresa May certainly doesn't.
At that moment the ship suddenly stopped rocking and swaying, the engine pitch settled down to a gentle hum. 'Hey Ford.' said Zaphod, 'that sounds good. Have you worked out the controls on this boat?' 'No,' said Ford, 'I just stopped fiddling with them.' (With thanks to Douglas Adams)

Hopefully the US and Europe won´t be in a trade-war by the time these sets are released...  :crossed:
