It’s a good set but I have one issue. The flag on the Hufflepuff tower should be yellow for me. Black makes it look out of place. Also it’s the only flag that does not match the jumper plate at the base of the flag pole.

I bought this yesterday as it had double points on it but haven't built it yet. I think upon looking at it the basilisk is a big let down and an odd inclusion. Surely this creature would have been better using the original mould from the old Harry Potter sets? And surely its placement would be better in a set that contains Moaning Myrtle's bathroom? I'm a big Potter fan and can't remember the Basilisk ever being present in the main castle let alone the great hall.

I got this yesterday and built it. I absolutely love that it folds up into the case and actually prefer it as a closed case. The only downside for me is when the case is open I feel the hinge holding the "lid" back feels a little weak and looks to overland causing stress on the pieces.

Hi everyone I'm putting together a series of photos using the new Harry Potter minifigures called "Magic in the City". It will have roughly 10 parts or photos to it and will be posted to my instagram over the next few weeks. The first one is here https://www.instagram.com/legoginge/ please have a look/like and follow if your interested in seeing the rest! Cheers Richard (legoginge)

I liked this figure although I think using the exact same design as the 275 special ones was a mistake. There should have been some difference. As for price, yes it’s expesive but then again it’s now an iconic figure and in my opinion worth the price.

What landmarks would you want to see?

Snap! Built mine and loved every minute of both builds!
-
I agree it’s a bit of a let down to an otherwise great set. I also feel that the outstretched arm is a little flimsy in connection compared to the rest of the build.
-
I must admit I prefer numbered bags for the very big builds. I couldn’t imagine rummaging through all 4000 pieces of my Disney castle in one go. They also for me signal breaks in the build if necessary as it’s a tidy point to finish after a bag. Back to this set... Its amazing. As said above it’s made by the base it’s on and looks awesome on display. I love the detail and the use of parts on the base.

If you do visit Japan I'd be interested in seeing which builds you choose. I went a few years ago and for one of my next projects want to do microscale builds from each country I've been to. Trying to decide which for Japan, although my current thinking is something from Hiroshima as that City sticks out most in my memory of the trip.
-
Now that depends where you build! I've taken to building on the dining room table of late.
-
All the ones I’ve had including the Capitol building (the largest I own) had non numbered bags. I agree it was fun to sort through them all and find the pieces. It made the build last longer!
-
So I've just opened the new Statue of Liberty set (21042) and it's the first architecture set I've got that's got numbered bags! Is this likely to continue? Normally they all come without numbers on and it's a free for all on which bag has which piece!

The Lego Movie 2 - The Second Part 2019 Set Discussion
Legoginge replied to Fenghuang0296's topic in Special LEGO Themes
I can't wait to see it! For me I found this thread of movie better than the Batman one (haven't seen the Ninjago one yet). Hoping that those new parts on the figures come in a minifigure series or sets! I quite like that scarf piece. -
This is fantastic. I think I prefer the one in the day light.
-
Getting mine tomorrow and looking forward to building. I’m tempted to try make some of the alternates above to so it’s more of a series.

I love the sword in the stone! Does the sword come out as a full sword or is it just built into the rock?
-
I'm not sure if anyone from the Billund trip is here but I know some of them all put together for a large quantity of unikitty figures. I'd be interested in how many full sets they managed as I half overheard that a box didn't contain a full set!
-
Love this. Have you any plans to make a TNG Enterprise?
-
I'm planning on going Monday for the Statue of Liberty. I would go today but the Hans Christian Anderson book promotion starts Monday with a £65 spend (UK). I really want the new Great Wall of China too but it would break my architecture rule that I need to visit before buying.
-
Hi everyone. I just thought I would post a photo of the types of things I like to do with sets I buy. The image here is made up of all my "Billund" specific LEGO sets. Cheers Legoginge
-
Yeah just a few yellowed plates. Nothing to obvious and I’ve put them at the back. Might get in touch with Lego and see what they say. Thanks
-
Hoping the Flintstones makes it through the next round!
-
I really like sets like this. Definitely going on the want list!
-
I’ve finally got around to building 4000010 (the white Lego house) set. My rule on architecture is I have to visit first before building. Anyway, my main issue seems to be that although sealed, some of the white plates look faded. I wondered if anyone else had had this issue? Cheers legoginge
