	+ However, this version of the Harbinger gave him white skin instead of light cyan.
* This is the fourth set to include a skeleton minifigure, the first three being 70420 Graveyard Mystery, 70425 Newbury Haunted High School, 70429 El Fuego's Stunt Plane and 70435 Newbury Abandoned Prison.(although the last two sets can be argued).
