I would only criticize it for is the ball joint sticking out on one of its sides. I’m genuinely curious how fans will use the piece in their custom creations. This oddly specific transparent piece fits perfectly for the potion bottles on this scale. A couple of pieces are perfect for the iconic Harry’s glasses, and I doubt they can be built better with existing elements.Īnother peculiar new element is a 4×4 dome with a 2×2 recess at the top. The rim itself is 3.18 mm thick and fits perfectly inside a minifigure hand. Measuring 7×6 studs, the element has Technic axle nests on opposite sides. Of course, the first and the most important of them is the new Technic hoop. Nevertheless, this doesn’t mean there are no new or exclusive elements. Instead, Hogwarts Icons look like a fine collection of building bricks for freestyle builders. There are no huge cockpit windows, tires, or other oddly specific parts. Hogwarts Icons is different: it is all about standard bricks, plates, tiles, and a dozen types of slopes, all in the most pleasant colors.
MAGIC ICON MEAN HARRY POTTER GAME LEGO WINDOWS
With a massive Star Wars set, you are guaranteed to get a ton of bricks in dull grey, and most other exclusive sets will bring particular elements in massive quantities, like glass windows in 76178 Daily Bugle. Speaking of pieces, there’s one thing that struck me while pre-sorting: this whole set is a diverse assortment of basic building bricks. I will be shocked if an adult with zero experience of modern LEGO sets will figure out this step without any issues. Instead, outlined are the white pieces in the callout. Not only is the angle confusing, for some weird reason, but the piece also has no yellow outline in this step. The thing is, the plate must be connected using a middle row of antistuds to be centered on the top of the wall. For instance, here is a step containing a 2×12 plate in dark blue being placed on top of the wall of bricks in tan.
This is definitely a purchase you will be carrying out of the store like the happiest kid in the world.īecause of the view angles, some building steps are as confusing as possible. Not only does the front picture looks magnificent, but also the back of the box reveals even more accessories to surprise a true Potterhead. Providing TBB with products for review guarantees neither coverage nor positive reviews. The LEGO Group provided The Brothers Brick with an early copy of this set for review. As the set is aimed at a broad group of new-to-hobby customers, let’s see if Hogwarts Icons can be a great start for someone at the beginning of their collection of massive LEGO exclusives.
If this sounds good to you, you should definitely take a closer look at the new LEGO Harry Potter 76391 Hogwarts Icons Collectors’ Edition, which is available September 2, for US $249.99 | UK £249.99. Joining the company this fall is yet another unconventional building concept - a magic owl on top of books surrounded by a bunch of accessories from the Wizarding world. Today, the nearest toy store welcomes you with either an iconic soccer stadium, a sitcom studio, or even a 1:1 Adidas sneaker. Gone are the days when typical LEGO sets were all about buildings and vehicles.
