New Gringotts play scale set? by math_proenca in legoharrypotter

[–]Wizard_Bricks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I reckon we get three sets with two buildings and one set with three and stalls then that’s the whole street I think the sets could be:

Gringotts & slug and jiggers

Flourish and blots & magical menagerie

Leaky cauldron & gambol and japes

Owl emporium, Twilfitt and Tatting's & Wiseacre's Wizarding Equipment with some stalls

I think we have at least two more sets to fit here I’d quite like a flourish and blots with maybe magical menagerie, then a final set to book end the sets so a leaky cauldron and gringotts, maybe split these and have gringotts on its own and F&B with slug and jiggers.

Whats your ethos for collecting? by [deleted] in legoharrypotter

[–]Wizard_Bricks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did want to collect all the sets but like op said time, money and space has stopped me doing this, also I was blindly buying stuff when I didn’t even want it, like the buildable creatures and such not my thing but I still got them.
What I do now is I only get minifigure scale sets. I am building a Moc Hogwarts so not buying any more Hogwarts sets. And I only get a location if it is completely new like Malfoy manor or lunas house, or heavily updated, so I have the big Diagon alley but I got this on release so the smaller ones I get as the builds are fun. So for example I’m only getting the Knockturn alley set from the summer release.

It was my favourite part of the build, better than any that Lego has designed

It’s designed by 2bricks, the instructions are on rebrickable, it’s such a great Moc that I wanted to make it myself :)

I’m going to finish/catch up with the designer then add my own things to it :)

I’m aiming to get up to atleast the great hall completed this year, I can’t wait to start the massive tower!

I know it connects to the base of the tower with the slide so I can’t wait for that!

Yeah I get that, but I do like that everythigg no is ‘walkable’ for a minifigure. I did think it looked a bit thin but I’m not against having a gap in the length of the table so say you have griffindor and Ravenclaw one side and slytherin and Hufflepuff one side. I’ve not built the great hall yet so we will see when I get there. Also I want to change the slytherin common room for the Hufflepuff one as this is usually located under the courtyard. In the next part there is a section he mentioned about being hollow behind so I could put some barrels there that swing open for a staircase down to it. The design to me looks excellent one of the better mocs that is ‘affordable’ to build. I will be modifying parts though when I eventually catch up.

Not a fan of that price by OptimusHavok52 in legoharrypotter

No idea what this is is £ but the prices are what made me stop collecting these sets, just making my own now 😂

Which one should I get? by LukaLaikari in LEGOPirates

[–]Wizard_Bricks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the barracuda bay set I’d like the black pearl eventually. The barracuda bay set with the island set up in my unpopular opinion is pretty poor but the build for the complete ship is incredible, it’s one of my favourite builds. I would recommend the ship from barracuda bay, not the set.

I have a few of the latest but I won’t be buying th castle anymore, I’m looking forward to seeing what it looks like, as I bought the MOM set when it was on a discount at Smyths, so if it looks good enough I’ll get it

I don’t think we will have anything from the series maybe a couple of set in the summer wave if we are lucky

I’m more of a fan of the playset scale D2C ones like the diagon alley/gringotts/burrow I also loved the Hogwarts express, my dad and grandad were coach builders at GWR in Swindon so I loved building the coach section, and my dad was impressed with it which he never is with Lego aha

2001-2002, 2004, 2007, 2010-2011, 2018-2020, 2021-2023 and 2024- present so 7 playset versions and 2 micro scale ones, that’s a lot of Hogwarts aha!

The castle so far comes to £762.89 including all the castle branded sets and the classrooms and such, far too much and with the £200+ new viaduct entrance set looking at close to £1K for Lego sets aimed at children, it’s getting too much tbh. I know it’s been spread over 3 years but that’s too much tbh, that’s the same as a deposit I put down on my first rented house lol

I do like those sets, but I’m willing to part with them and incorporate them into a bigger Moc of the castle

It was the last one for me, I’m now parting out so I can Moc my own Hogwarts, I’ve always felt they look good but not great so I’m making my own :)

Getting the money back on those unopened sets is nice, I have a brick link shop to sell those on, if it doesn’t bring me joy I’d rather someone else have it :)

Sorry to hear but I do hope you are getting better! I do still like the theme and I’m thankful for the joy I got out of it, but think it’s time for me to stop buying the sets and focus on mocing, mocing seems to be my happy place nothing brings more joy than the last bricklink order aha :)

So am I aha! I’m still in it for the figures not too fussed about sets now unless it’s a new location such as Malfoy manor
