New Hogwarts castle, the age 16+ version. Available to Lego VIP members now.

I've ordered it! It looks fab!

I had all the original Lego from the first 2 films and sold it all on eBay and have regretted it ever since. So this will make up for it Grin.

Tell me I'm not mad please Grin.

You are not mad, I've got my eye on the Great Hall and the Hogwarts Express! Enjoy your castle!

So fucking jealous

Lucky ducky

I knew this would be about the Harry Potter stuff when I saw the title - I’m jealous!

I am so jealous Envy

BigSandyBalls2015 · 15/08/2018 19:18

Fabulous!

Alex3101 · 15/08/2018 19:20

Brilliant.
Harry Potter isn't my thing but I do have most of the Star Wars ships lol.

DamsonGin · 15/08/2018 19:20

What makes it 16+?

ALemonyPea · 15/08/2018 19:20

I’m so jealous. I’m trying to persuade DH to get it as a joint Christmas present for us. He isn’t falling for my trick (just yet)

WhirlwindHugs · 15/08/2018 19:22

Me and DH got hogwarts express for ourselves for Christmas 😂

I may let the kids help but its not being mixed up with the other lego!

comeagainforbigfudge · 15/08/2018 19:24

Oh my god! Thats amazing. I wish i had the funds or the space for it 😍

UselessTrees · 15/08/2018 19:24

So. Tempted.

No idea where I'd keep the fucker once assembled, though. Next house has to have space for a dedicated Lego room.

DeloresJaneUmbridge · 15/08/2018 19:29

I occasionally get stuff for free from Amazon in exchange for an honest review. Yes I know I am lucky to have been chosen.

And

They sent me the Hogwarts Express Grin

It's amazing. Finished building it today.

It's got the trolly witch with her wares including a chocolate frog on it.

I'm on the Android app and not sure I can upload a picture. I've taken loads for the review.

I need a Lego board now as I am not parting with the train or the King's Cross Station bit of the set.

Don’t open the box and you will double your money in 5 years. Good investment.

britnay · 15/08/2018 19:33

awesome!

SapphireSeptember · 15/08/2018 19:33

You're not mad, I can easily spend that amount on make up (and have done in the past.) Grin

That castle looks epic! But I don't want it, so my bank account is safe, for now...

"What makes it 16+?"

Not sure. Think its the size and amount of pieces, over 6000. Think its the second biggest set ever. Haven't quite worked out where it's going to go yet. Have a study that's being redone soon so thinking in there.

VERY jealous of a free Hogwarts express! I want that too yes I had it before and sold it, idiot that I am.

Didn't think of that. Maybe I need 2 😆.

Exactly!!

SapphireSeptember · 15/08/2018 19:38

What's the point of that? A while ago I found some Sindy things on eBay that I'd had as a kid, I took great delight in taking them out of the boxes and chucking the boxes in the recycling bin!

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 15/08/2018 19:39

Nothing wrong with adult Lego lurve... DH had a technics crane for his birthday which he loves more than me beyond reasonable parameters

Trialsmum · 15/08/2018 19:43

That does sound pretty good.

IAmTheWifeOfMaoTseTung · 15/08/2018 19:47

Did you have the old Hogwarts? Please give me a compare and contrast so I can know how much I neeeeed this as well as my old one.

Actually what I really want is the Disney Princess castle. I had almost talked myself into getting it when they withdrew it and replaced it with the Mickey Mouse version which is Not As Good and Not What I Want. The originals are still available on eBay .… at a price.
