hello everyone this is Legos Harry
Potter Hogwarts castle set for 2018 this
being the second most complex Lego set
released to date as of the time of the
recording of this video this is going to
be a long video and there's a ton of
detail there are a lot of specific movie
references and such just strewn all
about this entire build so there will be
a lot of hard core very nerdy little
encyclopedic style information that I
need to convey so before I get to all
that let's just kind of appreciate the
entire set and look at it and consider
it on the whole first of all this
measures approximately 75 centimeters
across the widest way and is about 60
centimeters tall which is roughly 30
inches by 23 the set includes just four
minifigures but it's mostly made to
accommodate these nano figures which
themselves were originally designed to
be trophy accessories for many things
however the castle is definitely not
scaled to these nano figs these figures
are just able to fit into some of the
scenes
unlike minifigs also this is nowhere
near a complete depiction of Hogwarts
castle look at any wide shot of the
castle grounds from any of the films
which this is based on the film had app
tations and you'll see that there's a
ton of structure that's missing out here
towards the right there's a ton of
structure that's missing out towards the
back there's no hospital there is no
Astronomy tower no Dark Arts no central
tower no bell towers no representation
of any of the greenhouses not to mention
the howl ree the Quidditch pitch you
know much of the the interior grounds
this is just a very limited selection of
structures very near the entrance given
the complexity and seriousness of the
sets those glaring omissions definitely
disappoint me personally right from the
outset the structures that are included
here have no backs so you get very easy
and immediate access from around the
rear to all
the interior details you can see them
you can place figures upon them you can
appreciate them but if you want it to
have a similar level of completeness to
the view of this from around the back as
you see from the front that's just not
going to happen it would take a
significant amount of customization and
a significant investment in additional
parts to make that happen now throughout
this review I'm going to be placing
these nano figs in different rooms to
give you a consistent sense of scale so
let's go ahead and see who we have here
I'm doing it live and I'm very nervous
so wish me luck
we've got Dumbledore Snape McGonagall
Lupin Filch Umbridge you shall not be
named
Bellatrix Lestrange Harry Ron Hermione
Neville I'm gonna call this one Susan
bones and this one
Padma Patil but these two are not
official and then on the back row the
only figure that's officially named is
Draco Malfoy right at the start followed
by three supposedly just generic
Slytherin students you can assign names
to them as you wish our identities you
get three supposedly generic Hufflepuff
students and three supposedly generic
ravenclaw students though I'm gonna go
ahead and call this one Luna Lovegood
the set picks up students as first-year
journeys on the lake with these five
identical boat builds they're a little
bit clever and how they're put together
with the sideways attached arched window
pieces which are held on with just
friction on the sides of the studs on
the modified plate that's used for the
base each of these holds only one single
figure though you cannot fit a boat into
the boathouse unless you break it down
quite a bit but I like the design of
this it's simple but it looks pretty
proper to me and it has a little bit
more detail than is needed see all the
way back inside there they've used a
sticker to show the house crests and a
little bit of wall texture there's then
a small and very basic suggestion of the
stairway that takes you up to the
entrance courtyard that courtyard is
lined with an existing mould of small
window frames with the arched shape but
that's a new in
for the glass piece a new print and
that's based on the standardized
rectangular small window frame designed
so it'll work with regular shaped
windows as well
I like the curved gray inner roof
overhangs and especially how the corners
are pretty smooth and that's supposed to
be the location of the caretakers office
off to the side the Great Hall has the
clock up above and behind that a sticker
for a grating style of texture on the
left there is a statue representing the
architect of Hogwarts and you also get a
couple stickers for the large wooden
doors which open inward the Great Hall
building itself I think is very well
proportioned and the texture builds that
they've done on it I have a lot of depth
so everything looks and feels very
present it doesn't feel like just a thin
facade that's applied over a very
otherwise plain building you've got some
Dementors flying around five of them the
clear stands are included they're
obviously looking for the Prisoner of
Azkaban they are represented by just
black recolors of the pre-existing
Emperor Palpatine hologram nano figure
those are actually a little bit larger
than the students nano nano figures
included in this set which seems
appropriate to me it's a little bit of
detailing around the back here with some
more of the stained glass texture again
that looks best from the inside with
some light coming through it and I don't
want to pass over the terrain bill that
goes around the entire exterior of this
with a fair range of different colors
looks fairly organic they do use some
big ugly rock pieces the large preformed
parts and they don't cover all of the
exposed studs on them but it looks
organic enough to me from a distance and
if it really bugs you I know it bugs
some folks to see the exposed hollow
studs especially the ones like this that
have the shelves on the sides of them
it's very easy to cover up a handful of
ones that are left exposed and I do like
this small conifer build the evergreen
tree build which is just using the most
recent version of a flower stem piece
stacked up three times up
down on top of a bar for each inside the
Great Hall all four of the House banners
are flying up above with single-sided
flags you can see there are four rows of
tables only the outermost ones are able
to accommodate figures being attached to
studded bases so they will stay there
the rest of them are all just sitting on
top of tiles you see a single sticker
back there at the back on the left to
represent all the proclamations and
decrees under the reign of umbrage they
use the newest version or the new
version I should say of a flame piece
the smallest one that's used for the
tips of candles to good effect with the
torches on the walls there and they have
the raised section for the staff seating
including the larger Headmaster's chair
it's a little bit actually even more
difficult to pose these figures the
staff figures in place because they do
have to stand on top of a bracket piece
which leaves just a little bit of the
top of a jumper just showing through
there and you get a little bit of
centering action but it's just not as
secure of a placement there are some
stickers for detail on the wall back
there as well and I'm not worried about
the fact that I have not properly
arranged all the figures in this it's
all just for scale here's a quick clip
from early on in the building process
showing how simple the stained-glass
effects window build starts out it's
very straight forward however it does
get capped off with a couple of
brand-new pieces to allow this
one-by-one arch shape to fit in there
these new pieces take the form of 1 by 1
bricks each but each one hangs off the
edge the open arch edge by 1/2 a stud so
you put two of them one stud apart and
they create that perfect arch shape in
between and you can go on long straight
runs you can turn corners and there's
enough hollow space on the underside of
the arch to hold a tile or grill piece
directly beneath the Great Hall floor is
the Chamber of Secrets and I think this
is a very good
use of this space I think the
proportions here feel right has just the
the right amount of ominous
claustrophobia but it still has that
grandeur at the same time the snake
sculpture is coming in from the sides
are not the most accurate depictions
they're you know should have been mostly
just big heads sticking out but I think
is a very good use of those pieces in
Lego that are available I think it's an
appropriate use of them the Nagini snake
piece from the collectible minifigure
series has been recolored here to sand
green and that's probably going to
remain an exclusive color for this set
for a while though they may use it again
in the future but that's representing
the basilisk here and the the Salazar
sculpture on the back wall has six
stickers on it I feel like that face
looks just a little bit too dead or a
little bit too clown like needed just a
little bit more work with the brows to
to really bring some more anger into it
there's also the the single one-by-one
black tile piece on the ground there
that represents Tom Riddle's diary
moving over to the grand staircase tower
I'm actually going to take you on a
brief detour underground first to show
you the the inner entrance to the
Chamber of Secrets looking at the photos
I originally thought this was going to
be something you could actually open up
but in fact you cannot it is just a
static display there
however the stair cases themselves the
individual sub assemblies there can be
rotating around and that's nice you know
just to give you that suggestion of
their movement it's smooth enough I like
how the rotation is centered there from
the centerline just makes it look
interesting and allows you to see all of
the stickers with the the moving
portraits that are shown on on the wall
there because a lot of them will be
blocked by the stairs and you need to
move this around those stickers are a
pain to apply because they are rather
large in there against a concave surface
in there and it's difficult to figure
out exactly where they're going to
Center and also requires a little bit
of patience and trial and error but
there's a lot to see back there here's
the second level of the same with more
different stickers to have a look at
showing different portraits I kind of
wish that this was a little bit smoother
and how it moves it feels a little bit
wobbly just because they're using a no
friction turntable piece under there
it's not it's not a big deal though you
cannot really put any figures on this
unfortunately that's the one thing
that's a little bit of a miss there
directly above the stairs in probably
not a good placement certainly not an
accurate placement is a bathroom and
this is mostly representing moaning
myrtles bathroom with the central
cluster of fountains or sinks there with
the white based build and it also shows
of course Moaning Myrtle herself on the
sticker in the background and also some
of these stalls back there but then they
somewhat hybridize the whole thing with
the prefix bathroom showing the mer
person stained glass effect window which
is animated
I also took a quick shot of this tower
as I was building it to show you how
it's built really with two layers the
inner layer that supports most of those
stickers just uses large curved panel
pieces and then with studs on the side
construction you attach some large plate
and curve based assemblies to give you
the outside exterior texture and shape
here's an admirable very small build
representing the Griffon statue at the
top of the automated staircase to take
you up to Dumbledore's office and above
that well you know it's Dumbledore's
office itself this should be in one of
these small towers off the side of this
main tower but they needed the space and
this is a pretty compact space as it is
they just used stickers for all of the
wall detail and texture including even
Foxx on his perch there got the Sword of
Gryffindor depict it in another sticker
on the side and finally up above all
that is yet another sticker with some
more photo
laughs this gives me a good opportunity
to show you the exterior detail of the
top of the grand staircase tower there
with the San Green elements just at the
very very very tip and some of the half
round tiles used for texture in the
medium silver color this is shaped up
pretty well the section just below this
section is a little bit squarish you
know this is a flat space here this is a
flat space on the side but honestly it
doesn't bug me that much I very much
like the texture and shaping all down
here this technically should be thicker
I believe it should be wider for its
scale but I do like the shaping so I
think it may be a good compromise
perhaps going to a slightly smaller
Soumya slightly larger size would have
compromised that shape a little bit too
much and look who's sticking to the side
of the tower over there
it's the hungarian horntail let me take
that off actually so a little Goblet of
Fire reference here this is actually a
pretty nice build for its size
you know uses a lot of really small
pieces and there's a lot of articulation
here with the wings able to flap you can
also rotate them maybe this the neck
goes up and down the legs go forward and
back there's the ability to bend kind of
at the hip there the tail can move up
and down you can also reverse a bunch of
these joints here and just take pieces
off and move them around so I think this
is really really good for its size and
scale to me
I think this section in here is the
least visually interesting of all of the
sub assemblies on the exterior view you
know the front view of this castle this
personal opinion although the build of
this I believe it's the Stonebridge
tower here on the inside of it is
actually pretty well done especially how
they've done that the curved shaping
around the turret it's not perfect and I
might have slightly misaligned some
things you can probably make that look
just a little bit better but it went
together pretty well I don't like the
gap over on this side ah that's not
connected while there at all we'll see a
little bit more about that a little bit
later on but there is some nice
to rain down there and the viaduct looks
pretty good and that also went together
fairly quickly so I just made it feel
good you know to to make some good fast
progress on this most of it was a very
very slow and methodical slog I like
some of the stuff that's going on around
the back of this part of the build
though starting with the very very very
pink
um bridges office there with the white
studs on the wall representing her
decorative plates I think that was nice
to actually be able to build that up
rather than relying upon another sticker
for the detail along the wall there and
this space has enough room to pose a
number of additional figures so that's a
good use of that very small space there
this is the Transfiguration classroom
and I believe I have the correct staff
in place for this scene this one does
rely in my opinion very strongly upon
the stickers to give it its detail and
kind of its character to make it
recognizable for what it is but the
layout is pretty good especially with
the small one by two tables that I have
a total of six students in here possibly
more if you want to bring some up to the
front a little bit but yeah just a good
utilization of this space but really
does rely on those stickers this next
level down is to me again relatively
uninteresting much like the front of the
build of this portion of the structure
but this is an importance will plot
piece here with the writing on the wall
from the Chamber of Secrets the
formatting I think of the text is a
little bit different than it was in the
movie but you know it gets the point
across and it's nice and clear and
honestly the shaping of this corridor it
is just fine there's nothing wrong with
this they've got the little tour chairs
they're just very small basic builds
that sticker right there stumped me for
the longest time I believe it is the
activated door to the Room of
Requirement
when Nevel finally got it opened it
showed a pattern like that so I believe
that's what that is supposed to
represent let's go down to the lowest
level in this section okay this is
actually pretty cool to me again
this is the room with the we need keys
and to represent the flying keys they
just have you set up some 1 by 2 tiles
in various places with clear back
stickers on them and then they have the
large sticker in the background so again
a lot of reliance on stickers but
there's not too much that you can do to
represent really small scale keys I'm
glad that they didn't try to use just
some minifig scale ones which would be
just absolutely huge for this scene I
think that this is actually captured
pretty well and is a good use of a very
small space in this case that is a
representation of a nano scale broom
down there on the ground it's just a
minifig scale paintbrush piece in brown
with absolutely no paint on it so it's
just plain brown plastic and then next
to that room well this is the chessboard
room this pretty much speaks for itself
they have one large sticker that's used
in the background there just to kind of
help set the scene but that's not
critical in this case because there's a
very good small scale physical build
here for the chessboard itself and the
pieces of course it's not going to show
the entire chessboard it's just a slice
of it but the use of pieces is very good
and it just I think captures the scene
well had a pretty proper scale for the
Nano figures because they even include a
couple of chess pieces and I'm assuming
representing the Kings there as nano
things the little trophy pieces in
simply plain white and plain black not
sure if we've ever gotten that piece in
black before so I'm happy with this this
small in-between corner section which is
directly beneath the stone bridge build
is the room with the mirror of Erised
set and it is represented as a sticker a
good
looking sticker on a 1x2 gold
tile which is I think pretty perfect and
they've done nice things with the
torches on the sides so again this just
works and obviously that's supposed to
represent the sorcerers or Philosopher's
Stone
I think this final section over here the
viaduct entrance complex is my
favourites major section of this entire
build it's not perfect it's definitely
cut off significantly from the back as I
mentioned before there should be many
more structures behind this and there is
quite a bit of symmetry at least from
the outside but there's a lot of variety
in the types of building techniques that
are used here and I just like the
finished product I like all of this
terrain space how the viaduct bridge
system comes right up to it has a little
bit of a landing there as well the depth
of all of this the colorfulness of it
with more of the stained-glass technique
that's used all throughout the front of
it another stained-glass
ailment up above in the circular opening
with a studs on the side construction
there this has in the towers more of the
new printed glass piece so it has some
flat segments but overall the whole
thing feels rounded off well enough from
any sort of reasonable distance I like
the terrain off to the side has some of
the foliage in it that brings in a
little bit of that greenery for a little
bit more life and it even has a couple
more of the doors with the nice large
stickers that just very look very regal
and grand and those will open towards
the inside just a little bit of gapping
in between them but oh just pretty much
everything about this I like the look of
and I like the feel of it making matters
even better this continues to look
interesting to me around the side and
there's a lot of detail in the interior
and a lot of variety over here on the
right is the Gryffindor common room with
some comfy couches and ottoman there and
also a chair back in the background in
the corner and over on the left a very
large fireplace light does not come
through that very well so you don't
really get a glow in the fire but
there's a nice hood up above it and it
just looks like a good little space the
entryway hall itself is very plain just
a couple stickers on either side but
then over here you get a section of
library now I think that neither of
these is in the correct location I think
neither of these belong anywhere near
this space from what I know of the
anatomy of of Hogwarts castle but this
just is a nice looking space it's very
difficult to work at this scale but I
think they did a pretty good job with
the stacks representing books and
getting some different texture onto the
bookcase there in the center and they've
got the chairs that have been pulled up
fully underneath I probably would have
gone for tiles for the books that are
just sitting out on top but in all it's
just another good-looking space in my
opinion and here again we get the
stained glass effect for the windows
which looks absolutely wonderful I think
this actually looks better than the the
effect did in the Great Hall because you
can open up those doors and see right
through you know it just I don't know
gives the whole thing a little bit more
perspective makes it feel bigger and
makes it feel like there's more going on
that you're not even seeing right now um
maybe this is part of the reason I felt
there was more than you could see
because there is more than you can see
you just have to go down a little bit
beneath the Gryffindor common room area
this is the potions classroom and I'm
happy that this uses a lot of genuine
building this does not rely heavily upon
the stickers that are in the background
there the stickers are good the stickers
definitely add but they just add they
are not key parts of the the look and
feel and appearance of all of this it's
very funny to me just how much the
nano figures are dwarfed by individual
single stud pieces here they look like
they're huge just he enormous bulk
containers or something and the cauldron
is something that could be used as a spa
for I don't know two or three people or
something but now this is good with all
the different colors of transparent stud
pieces lined up in the back and
everything plenty of seating table space
and you can still get figures in there
you mean you do want to have pretty
small fingers to be able to pose nano
figures anywhere but the space is open
enough and is definitely usable and last
up here is the Room of Requirement
and the key feature here is the
vanishing cabinet that is suggested with
just a couple of pieces in black there I
think that shape is excellent it's a
shame that you can't open that up at all
and there's no hollow space in there to
kind of simulate the action of that
mechanism but that's okay you know I
think that they got enough different
stuff in here enough different texture
and if kind of greevil sort of elements
and things that represent the exact
items that were seen in these scenes
that this is pretty successful the
sticker and the background are the two
stickers excuse me three stickers in the
background is one off to the left I
forgot about that it's just a little bit
relatively difficult to see once all
everything else is in there those add to
the scene but they're not key the stars
of this scene to me are the physical
pieces and that's important to me in
Lego and I'm glad that they were able to
pull that off and I think this is
another well used space that definitely
adds to the appearance of the whole
build from the back um a word if I may
about practicality and transportation of
this set
you essentially cannot take up the whole
thing and move it somewhere that's not
necessarily
that thing it's a feature not a bug the
designer actually created two structures
here on fairly solid basis each they're
not even connected in the middle with
Technic pins there are no pins in there
just some axial pins with the axial
sections sticking out so that slot into
some Technic holes on the opposite side
you can add in pins if you want to make
this a little bit more secure but
they're still not going to be good
structural strength through that
connection no matter what you do unless
you start doing some custom connections
up above and quite a lot of it so this
is how this is designed to be managed
and it's great because you can very
easily pick up all of this and move it
around you can very easily pick up all
this and move it around neither of them
is as strong as a cinder block or
anything you can't just toss them around
there are a lot of small things you can
easily knock off and if you try to grab
it from you know either section from
just one corner you're not going to do
well you try to grab it from here no but
you grab it from the base you know just
be somewhat reasonable about it and it's
no problem I had no issues taking this
up fly stairs down fly stairs across an
entire house no worries whatsoever it's
pretty easy to move around actually
thanks to this smart design choice
splitting it apart also reveals an
easter egg a bonafide
easter egg with the devil's snare back
there i thought originally that death
devil snare was going to be behind the
seal for the Chamber of Secrets which is
on the other segment but now they just
put it behind this big ugly rock piece
because there was a big open space there
and the designer was like hmm let me do
something with that
so made a bit of a scene from one of the
movies and that's smart you can't really
do too much with that a guess you could
pose a figure in there if you want
there's no other access to it but it's
cool I said as an easter egg
there is one thing here that's not so
cool though I am pretty certain that
this viaduct
is placed here with an illegal building
technique one that Lego itself does not
allow I believe the viaduct itself which
is a sub assembly you do on its own and
then place into the rest of the model is
slightly longer than the gap that it
fills when I placed it here I had to
actually wedge everything else apart and
then when I got it into its final
location everything sprung back together
and it was extremely firm much more firm
than seems a reasonable range of
tolerance I think a lot of elements are
actually being stressed to get that to
fit in there and that's a bit naughty
this set has a couple of detached bonus
builds this is obviously a bit of
Hagrid's hut and a little bit of his
land a little bit of his yard there with
the melon patch and this is nice because
it's well detailed it doesn't look like
just a couple of nondescript cylinders
which easily could have
I appreciate the texture that goes into
this and the number of different colors
that are involved even though it's all
mostly earthy and stony and that's
supposed to represent Eragon there was
looking very very pale what happened to
you Aragog then they also did this
whomping willow this is pretty cool as
well
it's much more complex then it needed to
be and I appreciate the fact that the
complexity is useful you can make this
spin around you can articulate each of
the major Bowes the major you know
branches there and you can spin these
ends so it kind of can do just about
everything it needs to to have its
realistic amount of articulation and it
holds pretty well the Weasleys flying
car there represented in the smallest
possible scale pretty much that is very
convincing actually surprisingly no it's
just that the most basic of devil notch
triple box car designs it works
for sure
this is definitely exceeding
expectations by quite a bit for
especially such a small thing they do
have a little suggestion of the entrance
to the shrieking Shack on one side I
mentioned early in the video that the
set does come with some minifigures and
now we're going to take a look at those
they have this nice little collectible
platform with sticker plaques to show
what house each represents because these
are the founders of Hogwarts that gave
the houses their names
this is Godric Gryffindor with the sword
held that way to represent it being
sheathed with hand on hilt I think it's
a decent look but you can set it up
however you want very good looking
figure with you know print across the
hip and legs looks to be pretty well
lined up as a strong expression even
with so much of the face being hidden by
facial hair hairpiece looks very good in
that dark orange and those the older
style of cape and they're pretty much
gonna leave it on all the time there's
actually some print on the back of the
torso huh alright well that's cool for
something that's this collectible right
there is a possibility that they will
never make a Godric Gryffindor figure
again ever you know it's it's possible
so I feel like there's a lot of
collectability to this figure and I'm
glad that it's pretty well done the same
can probably be said for Helga
Hufflepuff here out of the four I think
this is my personal favorite I really
like the colors for the body and also on
the lower leg slash dress piece you know
it's the more recent parts that they
came out with it attaches better than
just a regular slope piece and allows
the legs to be the same length as
standard minifig legs Plus this one
around the back is significantly printed
that is very nice I appreciate the print
being applied to the concave shaped
surface yeah and yet two faces two
useful faces for this character a little
bit more of a smile there a little bit
less but still both you know positive
this looks good
my Salazar Slytherin figure is missing a
piece yes and that does bother me and
I'm not happy about it but it happens I
have contacted customer support and
hopefully they'll be able to send me a
replacement caller he's supposed to have
a basically very very small Cape piece
same material separate piece brand-new
cut I believe in black to give him the
evil evil collar the evil looking collar
another good-looking figure although
with that much beard you do miss a lot
of the torso print actually the hip and
leg prints are lined up pretty well on
this one yeah this is this is done
pretty well I just wish that I had
gotten all the parts I am gonna call
this my personal least favorite of the
four but not by a significant margin and
not because he's Salazar Slytherin it's
just not as interesting looking of a
figure as the others to me just visually
good face though that's my favorite
thing about this figure is the face
print and last up this is Rowena
Ravenclaw another well printed one with
the double-sided printing for the robe
or dress leg piece with some metallic
printing here as well looks to be lined
up pretty well and looks pretty good
from around the back a little bit
scuffed in this case but you know that
just happens from stuff moving around in
very large boxes with lots and lots of
pieces mm-hmm this looks pretty good the
torso print on the back is not of the
utmost quality highest quality but the
print for the alternate face looks very
good very
and for the main face as well yeah the
torso print is just a little bit off
needed a little bit better coverage for
the lighter sections of it but otherwise
still a well-designed figure for sure so
is this a pretty impressive set yes is
it as good as it could have been no I am
again most disappointed that so little
of the key architectural bulk of
Hogwarts castle has been captured at
this small scale I really wish that
there was less interior detail I
actually could have gone for no interior
detail personally if things were just
closed up and maybe 2/3 this size or
this scale rather maybe even half the
scale to get a lot more of the actual
structures included so is this gonna be
worth your money well your mileage will
of course vary the price part ratio is
fantastic on this very difficult to
complain about that although that does
have to be tempered with the observation
that there are a ton of 1x1 pieces in
this set and not just 1 by 1 bricks but
1 by 1 plates and tiles and such so you
know the actual value the actual volume
of stuff that you get relative to what
you pay is not as fantastic as the price
part ratio itself suggests in a vacuum
but it's still pretty good compared to
you know other very large models you
know collector focused models that we've
gotten in recent in recent memory I'm
very happy with some of the new pieces
and new prints that we got I love nano
figs so I'm just ecstatic to have a
whole handful of new ones of those I
think the minifigures that are included
here though they don't really go you
know obviously in terms of scale with
the main build I still think they're
very collectible
we'll be worth much of the value of the
set in the future much of today's value
of the set in the future will be covered
by the prices values of just those many
figures in the future yeah overall I
have very mixed feelings about this on
the whole you know individual sections
are done very nicely there's a lot of
good stuff here to be sure a lot of
stuff that I'm not so happy with
including the reliance upon so many
stickers you know for a $400 u.s. set to
come with so many stickers I get it I
understand but I wish I didn't have to
apply something like 17 it was over 70
stickers in this many of them being
those larger panel pieces I'll be much
happier if Lego eventually comes out
with a Hogwarts castle completion kit
that is similar in parts count in order
to give you the rest of the major most
important stuff that was intentionally
left out of this one
you know like for people who want to
have a model Lego Hogwarts castle to
display the whole thing or at least most
of it the build was not too arduous
there were some sections that involved a
fair amount of repetition with small
pieces that's annoying to the fingertips
but there wasn't too much of that there
weren't a lot of really fancy building
techniques that just made me go ah I
have learned something today you know
the new pieces certainly helped quite a
bit but for the most part it's mostly
straightforward stuff just takes forever
because there are so many pieces I think
I've covered most of my initial thoughts
about this set at least let me know in
the comments if you have any specific
questions about this because there's
obviously so much to see here so much to
think about
there may be enough open questions from
viewers that will warrant more follow-up
from me if you know I can do a video
that that kind of adds on to this one as
as just an additional you know answer to
your questions little session I'd be
happy to do that if there's a lot of
open interest in that otherwise hope
that you've enjoyed this look at this
set I hope that I have done a decent job
of showing it to you and I'll be talking
to you again soon in my next video bye
for now
you
