Oh man. If that were N, I would have to settle for Vampire Villa.
Still a great kit, though.

Here's a Clerihew about Ed. K.

Ed Kapucinski
Every night, he plants a new tree.
But mention his law
and you've pulled your last straw!

Alternate version:
Ed Kapucinski
Every night, he plants a new tree.
He asks excitedly "Did you say Ménage à Trois?"
No, I said "Ed's Law."

Wow !
   Made this posting with the link to Club Mobius site a while ago and just clicked on the link to see if that Munster house still existed in HO ? To my surprise somebody must of bought out the old place up and re"vamped" it as the girls on the site look like they just came from the tv show The Vampire Diaries and willing to do anything for a buck.  :o

I remember seeing the Munsters' house made an appearance in Rob Zombie's Munsters movie that came out back in the fall last year. I actually liked that movie. The Cinema Snobs hate it but I don't give a damn what they think. They want every movie to be artsy-fartsy pseudo-intellectual navel gazing crap about trash bags blowing in the wind or whatever.
I'll eat anything you want me to eat and I'll swallow anything you want me to swallow so come on down and I'll...chew on a dog! Howwwwwwwwl!!!!!!

Great read Peteski. I'm guessing the limited edition ghostly green kit offered by Mobius was a glow in the dark kit similar to the Universal glow in the dark monster kits once offered by Aurora. Turn the lights off and the house would turn a lit ghostly green as old grandpa mixed some uranium in the paint so the interior & exterior would glow so not to have to put any solar cells on the roof for any of that energy saving stuff and scare Igor away .😁

LOL!  Glad you enjoyed (I did too).

Yes, the molds for those old kits keep circulating between kit manufacturers.  Many Aurora molds ended up in a new company called Polar Lights (see what they did there?), but I'm not sure if Mobius is somehow related to Polar Lights. I kind of lost track which company took over which other one, or which molds ended up where. It is like a Soap Opera.
