Lemax Wasteland Pub Review
Wasteland pub is one of those Spooky Town pieces that immediately draws the eye. What makes it truly stand out is the intricate and dynamic lighting. Even though the piece itself has no moving parts, the flickering flames and sudden flashes give it the illusion of animation—like the whole scene is alive, simmering in eerie unrest. It’s as though the ruins themselves are breathing with a faint, otherworldly glow.
This piece pairs beautifully with Last Ditch Gas & Salvage, creating a cohesive apocalyptic corner for any display. The theme of a crumbling, post-civilization world feels fresh for any Spooky Town—a direction that has perhaps been overlooked until now, due to a lack of associating pieces in the current roster. But with whispers and rumours that more of these end-times styled creations could be looming on the horizon, now feels like a very good time to invest in these grim little treasures.
overview of the wasteland Pub
The audio track deserves its own mention. While it is admittedly repetitive, it adds a haunting backdrop that fills the air with dread and atmosphere. When you turn the volume up, the effect intensifies—perfect for when you want to draw attention to your display. For me, the audio is one of the highlights of the Wasteland Pub, setting it apart from quieter pieces.
The skeletons scattered through the wreckage open up exciting opportunities for theming. Imagine placing this piece off to the side, perhaps in a barren corner of your village, where a band of skeletal survivors scrape by in the dust of a dead world. When combined with other skeletal-themed sets, it creates a chilling narrative of decay and survival. Beyond the main structure, there are smaller accent pieces that complement it nicely—most notably the Last Ditch Tow Truck. By name and design, it fits seamlessly into the desolate landscape, enhancing the sense of continuity in an apocalyptic Spooky Town corner.
Overall, Wasteland pub is a standout addition to the collection. It may be tricky to theme right now, but if the rumours prove true and more apocalyptic sets creep onto the market, this piece will only become easier—and more rewarding—to build around.
Our verdict
We’re giving Wasteland Pub 4.5 pumpkins out of 5. It’s a truly excellent, intricate, and detailed piece, made even more memorable by its hauntingly effective lighting.
