LEGO Reviews

I got this for my 9th birthday. It took my sister(12) and I 4 days to assemble it. It is fun and tough to assemble it. You really need patience to assemble the parts together. The car doesn't move very fast or far. It moves about 30cm-50cm.

Look at the name."Dumb"ledore's Office.It's dumb this set including Harry Potter. He doesn't teach much for kids and this set makes no difference.You can always buy it I suppose for a medieval legos collection but Harry is a minifig thats mindless.

Whenever I buy a Lego set for my son I consider three things. First of all, the build: How fun will it be to build the first time? Second, I consider the playability: What's fun about this set? Then I consider the pieces of the set: Will it still be fun when half of the pieces are lost in the sofa and he's building his own castles from what's left (this kind of versitility is why I buy my son Legos)?
This set is really fun on the first day. While it only took us a few minutes to build (there are lots of large pieces), my son really enjoyed acing out scenes from the movie. The following weeks however, were not quite as good. The srength of the Harry Potter Legos is that they really resemble the places in the films. However, the consequense of this is a lot of peices that are specific to Harry's world. The prblem with this is that my son's original castles become less his, and more Harry Potter's-- the pieces really do not work well in other environments. Since we bought a few Harry Potter sets my son has asked that we not get any more, he says they are "too much like the movie". So I guess it's fun for a while, but don't expect the fun to move much past the directions.

As a Harry Potter fan, I started buying Legos for the first time in years; I still remember when they didn't have specific kits. I was so impressed by my first Harry Potter Legos that I've collected quite a magical landscape by now. I loved this kit--it has a lot of interesting elements, like the swinging back door and revolving bookshelf, and I have found that its parts can be well-used to make up good alternative buildings for those of us who like to create models rather than build them exactly as instructed. This set and the Hogwarts Castle are my favorite Lego sets thus far.

While this set is not too much fun to play with, it is worth the money for the great minifigs it comes with. Boba Fett, a Gamorrean guard, and Han Solo frozen in carbonite- what more could you want? This set would be a great buy if you have the other two Jabba sets (which I don't have). Overall a pretty cool "minifig set" that makes a great addition to your Star Wars collection.

This set is great. If you do not own Boba Fett's Slave1, this is the next best thing. Anyone who has seen Star Wars fan remembers Boba Fett. In itself, the minifig is great. The jet pack and body are very detailed. This great set is also the only one that contains a Gamorrean guard. It also includes the frozen Han Solo piece. I love this set because of its detailed minifigures.
