Are you ready for Halloween in Summer? For us fans of the spooky season, it is better than Christmas in July! And coming this July, you will be able to pick up the spooktacular 21341 Disney Hocus Pocus: The Sanderson Sisters’ Cottage.

I wanted explore how each worked, in particular, I wanted to experience what it was like to setup and use the modular brick form-factor control panel switches. I have always admired from afar these elements, and never having owned any myself, invested in buying at least one of every type to finally discover their operational characteristics.
