REVIEW: 76408 12 Grimmauld Place

[Pchan1983]

Here is my review on 76408 12 Grimmauld Place:

THE GOOD:

• The reveal of no.12 works surprisingly well.
• Looks good in front.
• lots of minifigures with exclusive designs included
• new cat exclusive to this set
• new broom sticks (not limited to his set I guess since it's new for this wave)
• Some cool small builds and tons of cool graphics designs for HP fans

THE NOT SO GOOD:

• Hermione should have been included.
• The triangular shape for no.11 and no.13 are needed to make the feature work but sacrifice the look from the back.
• The Modular style to remove to level for no.11 and no.13 doesn't seem to be necessary.
• $$$$$$

Overall, it's a great play set.  The transition from no.12 being hidden to revealing at the centre works great and visually impressive.  This set has great exterior details but because of this I think the interior and the design of no.11 and no.13 have been sacrificed.  The triangular design doesn't work for me.  Despite some cool small builds and lots of Harry Potter references with excellent graphics design.  I like the minifigures but Hermione should have been included.  I think this set is a great for Harry Potter fan but if you are not into Harry Potter, this set can be very pricey.  Fortunately I bought this with a discount so it doesn't hurt the wallet as much.
