It consists of a large model of a castle , with a large gate , several towers , and a car . It contains the minifigures Lord Vampyre , Vampyre Bride , two Manbat s , Jack McHammer , Dr . Rodney Rathbone , and a Skeleton . Description . General . This set contains Lord Vampyre ' s Castle , a large fortress made mainly of light grey , dark grey , and black parts , and a sand green car for the Monster Fighter s . A total of six minifigure s are included in the set ; Lord Vampyre , Vampyre Bride , two Manbat s , and two monster fighters ( Dr . Rodney Rathbone and Jack McHammer ) . The castle is made of several modular sections , the foremost of which is the gate area . The gate itself is black , and is hinged so that it can move in both directions . Behind the gate are steps leading down to the ground , one of which has a raised stud on it , which would seem to prevent the gate moving backwards . Directly on either side of it are two thick pillars . They are both identical , and are made up of a black 2X3 brick , with two light grey 1X3 bricks stacked next to each other upon it , then a light grey 1X2 bricks textured with stonework , followed by black 1X2 , with another stonework brick atop it . Behind this section are the hinged bricks the gate attaches into , and , above them , making both halves of the arch evenly high , it a long grey brick , which also partially supports the nearly section of wall . The end of the grey brick is help up by a miniature pillar , which sports two pin bricks with teeth stuck to them attached into a TECHNIC part , which allows them to be moved backward and forward , to lock or unlock the gate . In front of the rightmost pillar is a small tan bush . Atop the pillars in built an archway , which is two studs thick , and rises two or three bricks higher than the gate . The arch itself is dark grey , although it has light grey sloped bricks attached to it , giving it a smoother effect , and , joining both halves of the arch together , is a tan 2X4 beam . Mounted on top of the beam is a dark grey jumper plate , with a black cone with a bat attached to its tip mounted on it . The set . On either side of the arch is a small tower . The one on the left is the shorter of the two , and is mounted partially on the archway , and partially on a rick sitting next to it . It is made of two round 2X2 bricks , one light grey , and the other dark , with three cones pieces of decreasing size mounted on them . The smallest cone , at the top , is only 1X1 studs . Stuck into the top of the topmost cone is a tall pole , with a circular TECHNIC piece attached at the pole ' s lowermost point . The second pole is completely identical to the first , with the exception that , instead of being mounted directly on half of the archway , it is raised above it by two 1X1 bricks with holes in their centers , which it is set upon . Into the single hole created by the two bricks , a glow - in - the - dark spider attacked to a flick - fire missile part can be inserted , and subsequently launched . On both sides of the gate structure are short , thick walls . Each is built of a large single - piece light grey wall part , in addition to several other tall grey bricks , and the long grey brick mentioned earlier . Atop this is set a dark grey platform , protected from the front and the side by short walls , made of textured light and dark grey bricks , and some light grey plates . Each of the two resulting walls connects into a tower . The tower on the left is the taller of the two . Its lower level is constructed of two single - part wall pieces , with stickers of bricks and vines on them , commented together by a variety of textured bricks . In between the two , the tower is connected into the gate area . The tower is open on the inside of the castle , and , in it , is a large brown circular brick , with several white spikes stuck into it . The castle ' s second layer is constructed very similarly to the first , the only major difference being that , in the middle of the textured bricks attaching the two wall parts together , there is a black window , set into a brown frame . Another , identical window is seen on the side of the tower facing outside the castle . The third layer is completely different . It has a dark grey circular floor , separating it from the pit formed by the other two levels , and is approximately five bricks high . It has five enclosed sides made of light and dark grey bricks , each with a window set into it . The window on the right side , facing away from the interior of the castle , has a TECHNIC pole made of two brown parts held together with pegs attached to it . At the end of the pole is a black TECHNIC element with two circular pegs attached into it , that allow a Manbat s or another minifigure to hang from it . A section of the floor of this level can be pulled away , dropping minifigures into the lower levels . The sixth side faces into the castle , and is open to the elements . Inside , it has some dark red tiles on the floor , and features a table made of a short brown plate set atop several tan studs ( two on each side ) . It has a map mounted on it . The fourth and final level of the tower is comprised mainly of a large black steeply sloping roof pat , set directly atop a circular tan floor . Under the arch of the roof , a brown treasure chest filled with multifaceted jewels of various colours jewels is stored . Three miniature towers are set upon the roof . Two are on various panels of the roof , one to the left , and one to the right , while one is situated upon its very peak . The tower to the left is taller , and is constructed of three circular bricks ( one light grey , one dark , one light again ) with three black cones of decreasing size set upon them . Like the miniature towers seen near the gate , there is a pole with a circular TECHNIC element around it stuck into the tip of the smallest cone . The second tower , on the right , is considerably smaller . It consists merely of a light grey circular brick , two black cones , one large and the other small , set atop it . Like the other tower , a pole with a circular TECHNIC element stuck on it is attached into the topmost cone . The final of the three , situated at the very topmost pinnacle of the roof , is also the smallest . It is set on a 2X2 grey plate , and is made solely of two black cones stacked atop each other . Like with all the others , a pole with a circular TECHNIC element stuck to it is mounted in the upper cone . The tower on the right is much shorter than its counterpart on the left . It is built on a mostly circular tan base . The first level has nothing on the floor , a large portion of it is built of a single wall piece ( with bricks and vines printed on it ) , and a rock part of equal size ( although it is covered by bricks on the inside ) . A TECHNIC element is situated next to the rock , but it is not known what it does . To the right of the wall part is a tall arch , filed with bricks ( a very tall dark grey slope brick , and a miniature door set upon it ) . To the left of the rock part is a brick - built pillar ( made mostly of two light grey bricks , put together to form a hollow between them , but with several dark grey bricks on top of them ) about seven bricks high , with a hollow in its middle , and a dark grey jumper plate at its top . A light grey barred door is attached into the wall next to this pillar , and completely blocks entry into the lower level . The eternal wall of the tower ' s second level follows a similar design to that of the first . A large wall part takes up some of the architecture , and to its right is an archway filled with bricks to form another wall . However , in this case , three textured bricks two dark grey and one light ) are used as the filler ' s base , and a window ( black in dark brown framework ) is set at the top . Also , instead of a rock part next the wall element on the other side , there is another pillar filled in a similar manner to that on the right , but instead of the textured bricks , uses a single light grey part . To the right of this second pillar is a small brick - built area , which features a brown pole jutting from its upper area . The pole is made of three brown TECHNIC elements held together with pins , with a black TECHNIC part at the end with pins in it that can be used to attach a Manbat or other minifigure . ON the opposite side of the tower , there is another , nearly identical brick - built area , with , on the outside , a wheel attached into it . On the inside , a TECHNIC element attaches into a chain , which can be raised and lowered . A skeleton is attached to the chain by a pair of handcuffs . The tower ' s roof is circular and grey . It has a small railing running along three fourths of it ( approximately the front , left , and right ) , made of light and dark grey textured and slanted bricks set on top of and beside each other . A black cauldron is set in the middle of the roof , and contains a toadstool , made of a white cone and a red disc printed with white markings , a green frog , and a brown pole . The rest of the castle is connected onto the wall area by a miniature wall , with hinges on it so it can be folded , altering the position of the castle . The castle is made of two levels , and a tall two - level tower . The lower level of the castle is mostly empty , and is opened on the front by a large archway . The arch is made of a single very large light grey part , and is held up on either side by pillars made textured bricks . The pillars are constructed of one dark grey generically textured one , one light grey brick - texture , one dark generic , and then the arch . Atop that is situated another dark grey textured one , connecting into the floor of the second level . On either side , directly behind the arch , is a brick - built red curtain . The curtains are built of a 2X4 red brick , slanted in two directions . Three 1X1 studs are set upon it , two brown , and one tan . A tall inverted red slope is built upon that , forming the rest of the curtain . At the castle ' s left , is a the base of the castle ' s large tower , which also forms the left hand of the castle ' s lower level . As well as the pillar used to support the archway , the base is made of a dark grey single - part wall piece , with , next to it , another pillar , completing the wall on the far left . The pillar is made of two bricks with hollowed - out centers set next to each other , forming a hollow in between them . They are set upon a slanted light grey brick , and a dark grey 1X2 , Atop them is set a 2X2 dark grey brick , and on top of that , two dark grey 1X2s , one of them textured , the other not . On top of those two brick is set a dark grey jumper plate . Inside the lower level , a black coffin ( with a bat and some sinuous designs printed on it ) for Lord Vampyre to rest in is set . A brown ladder leads up to the second level of the castle . It is built on a long tan base , and has a tall brown brick supporting it . The second layer of the castle is also made of two separate compartments , set upon brown plates . The one on the right is made of two large light grey wall pieces , set side by side , but with an area between them filled with a dark grey slanted brick , with a black window in a dark brown frame set upon it . A light grey arched brick is set above these , and connects the two wall parts together , and is attached to the roof . When set directly upon each other , he stairs block access into the compartment he portion of the wall on the right side of the compartment that isn ' t covered by the wall element is made up mainly of several light grey bricks set upon each other , with another black window set into them . There is no further wall on the left side , but there is a large pillar made of eight light grey rotatable stair pieces , which support the compartment from the front , but , when rotated , form a stairway leading up to the compartment ' s roof . Inside the compartment is a large dark red structure resembling a bed set upon a medium - sized brown plate , and mounted on four single light tan studs . The roof on the compartment is semicircular and dark grey . It is protected on the front by a railing . The railing is constructed of several light grey slanted parts , which follow the contours of the roof , as well as two textured bricks at the front of the railing . Four slanted bricks are set at regular intervals along the top of it . An arched part with a 2X2 plate set on it connects this area to the roof of the second compartment ( or , seen another way , the floor of the tower ) . The second compartment on the level is constructed in much the same way , with two wall parts placed on either side of a brick - built structure ( in this case , a miniature door on a pillar , surrounded by a light grey arch ) . One of the wall bricks has a sticker of bricks attached to it , and the other , a hole in the wall . The compartment ' s left side is fully walled as well . The wall has a black window in a brown frame set in it . Inside , the compartment contains two small tables . One has a transparent green goblet , a bone , and a flame stuck into a white cone all attached to it . The other , which is taller and thinner , has two vials , one red and one blue , placed atop it . The compartment ' s roof is dark grey , and another compartment is set directly atop it . The next compartment is built almost identically to the previous one . It contains a bookshelf and a desk . A burning candle is set on the desk , and the bookshelf contains five thin books , in various colors . A secondary tower is attached to the outside of the compartment , and rises up to support a very small room , made of a single light grey wall piece . The room has a black tower on it , with a bat perched atop it . A third compartment is set atop the second one . This one is much taller than the others , and is mainly made of walls , one on the left , and one on the right . They are attached together at the roof and by a TECHNIC beam , into which a large device ( the Moonstone Machine ) is attached . The front of the device features six of the Moonstones arranged attached into TECHNIC bricks like spokes on a wheel . The Moonstones can be pushed forward , and made to rapidly hinge backwards , by pressing a knob back inside the tower . Atop of this compartment is the final layer , the roof . The roof is made of a single black roof part , and , like the tower roof mentioned previously , it has three towers miniature towers attached to it . Inside the roof , is situated , on a tan baseplate , a large pipe organ . It is mainly brown , with white and black keys , and light grey pipes . The Monster Fighters ' car is made of a light and dark grey underside , with sleek sand green plating above them . It has two dark grey guns , made of an ADU gun and a telescope stuck together .
