I like the light bleed. It looks great on my little pumpkin house (Lemax Spooky Town) with the beware of the cat sign. Sorry I forgot the name of that one and it is in one of tens of tubs right now. Thank you for sharing with lucky us, Doug!
I love this piece. It was a must have for my pumpkin patch theme. Can’t wait to see your display this year Doug. Really looking forward to your process.
my plan is to take a week from messing with anything villages and then start laying it out and figuring what to do. I've made platforms before but only flat ones. I'm looking forward to putting hills/elevation into it
I bought this from Haunters Nation and it came with the standard incandescent bulb and cord. Mine doesn’t have the light bleed that yours have and I wonder if that has to do with the LED. I have considered changing to an orange bulb or a flicker flame bulb. I wonder if Michaels is the only retailer getting these with the Moonlander bulbs. I do like the way the moonlanders fit into the hole and then you could use the 3 cord adapter. The bad part is I don’t think you can swap out LED bulbs for different colors on a moonlander whereas the traditional cord just takes a C7 light. I do like that the moonlanders are starting to come in black though. What are your thoughts on Moonlander versus regular C7 bulbs?
Just looked at my photo after I lit it up and it is possible it does have the light bleed and that I just didn’t notice because it wasn’t completely dark. It surprises me though because it appears to be really substantial porcelain.
Michael's is the only place that sells these with the moonlander bulbs. I can see Lemax switching over to this type in all their bulb lit buildings in the future. The moonlanders are convenient, but as you said, you can't change the color. You would have to paint the cover with something transparent.
I’m not sure how I’m going to do it. I was leaning towards a singular video but the issue with that is that it would be til September to release it as I won’t put my display up til mid September so probably best to do some smaller in progress ones
Some representative video clips might be possible. You could sting together photo montage progress reports. That way you would not have to edit video. Have fun! K&B
I’ve been working on it! I’m very excited to use it myself! I think people will really enjoy it! Next year will see several themes released, and they won’t be limited edition
Love this one too. I also thought it was part of the smaller lineup. How many are there in the small lineup? 3? I do like that the walls light up, it gives it a paranormal effect that there is something so bright inside that light is shining throughout :) Edit: There are 4 in the small lineup. I just found the 4th I was missing - Witch's cottage to go with the Ghost Cottage, Pumpkin Cottage and Skeleton Cottage.
I like this one, and noticed in many postings that the light bleeds through the walls. Knowing Lemax could have prevented that if they wanted, and that there are really only two small openings in the front, I think it was planned....for better or for worse. Imagine if it was completely dark except for those two slits. I think that would look even worse. I think it would have done better with more of an opening allowing light to shine on Ol' Joe.
I have this one and I'm mixed. A+ on theming and paint. D on lighting. The bulb light should never bleed through the walls unrealistically in my opinion. Not lighting up the scarecrow is also a fail. Looks great during the day and the price is right.
This is the only house I planned to purchased this year. Will work perfectly in my pumpkin patch village. The lighting could be better but otherwise I really like it. I am glad to see this review. That backdrop looks great with it also
I've got some videos on this topic for newbies- I'd strongly recommend you pick a theme and roll with that at first. You can go the route of buying everything you think is cool and that is fine but be warned it can get expensive fast and you may wind up with a youtube channel!
@@SpookyVillages this is my third year doing this and I’ve tried to stick with a haunted/trick or treat town theme. Your channel actually got me into the hobby.
Go's quick starting empty my display room waitng on some other building to show and send my Last on the left to Derek (Randon Junk) for a mototr replair
I also had to have this one when I saw it at Michael’s. It’s simple yet perfect. I love scarecrows and pumpkins!
The light bleed through looks very spooky. It definitely adds a nice touch to it.

Sometimes simple is just better, and this building is a perfect example of that.

This was a surprise banger. Has a dept 56 feel to it. Great detail, quality and colors.

I love this guy. Simple yet effective
I’m considering getting this one bc I saw how big it was too and I’m also a sucker for the pumpkin farm theme
New subscriber to your channel! And I absolutely love it! 🎃🎃
thanks for watching!
Thanks for the review!
Will you post videos and / or photos of your layout ‘in progress’ ?

Your backgrounds are great.! I'm excited for the pumpkin patch/farm/agritainnent one!🍊

Love it! 🧡💚💜
thats quite interesting! The building I got has zero light bleeding.
Hello, I just bought this and the light is missing. Does anyone knows where I could get a replacement? Thank you!

Where did you find the Ghost Cottage? I have not seen it at Michaels.
@@rhondagentry2170 My store had all 4 cottages, I just didn't notice there were 4 different ones at first glance.

Do you recommend me buying pieces that just look cool or just stick to a theme?

This one is too simple for me to buy, but I agree it'd be a great fit for a pumpkin patch.
