I have been looking for the set at a reasonable price which it was. I'm not a collector just wanted the lego set. The original box was not in the best shape but all the pieces were there and nothing was broken. I was very happy with the purchase. It will be added to my other Harry Potter lego sets. Thank youFull disclosure... this is the first Fantastic Beasts/Harry Potter LEGO set I've ever purchased. Additionally, my knowledge of the Fantastic Beasts and Harry Potter is very limited, so apologies if I misspeak about something related to the books/movies.Having said that, I love LEGO... and this set definitely does NOT disappoint. The two minifigs (Grindelwald & Picquery) look great and the detail is the top-notch quality you'd expect from LEGO. The main attraction in my opinion if you're talking 'minifigs' is the winged thestral (the skeleton-looking flying horse/dragon). The markings on the face to the two awesome wings give the thestral an ominous and commanding presence. The two wings are a softer type plastic and the two claws underneath the wings provide a perfect final touch. Overall, I give the winged thestral and the two minifigs two resounding thumbs up. The only slight thought I could add would be that the thestral doesn't move... the head and/or legs like typical LEGO horses don't articulate... otherwise, great.The carriage has great detail and the coloring looks fantastic. There's really only room in the carriage for one passenger, but there's room on the front and the rear of the carriage for someone to ride on the outside. Though difficult to see in the completed build, there are lots of unique pieces with unique colorings in this LEGO set. This adds to the level of future playability with this set as the pieces could be used in a multitude of ways. Long story short... the carriage looks awesome and functions well with the front portion articulating and moving side-to-side as the winged thestral leads.In closing, I really like this set and I think it looks wonderful. The build was pretty straight forward and the final product exceeded my expectations. I'm fairly certain I will be purchasing more of the Harry Potter/Fantastic Beasts LEGO sets.If you found my review helpful, please let me know.

Thank you!!!While the set may cater to a specific interests (fantasy), the set itself has many positives. The set has some uncommon wheels and lots of smooth flat pieces. Throw in some Technic pieces and a winged Thestral, and you have yourself a party of blended sets!Only two characters come with this set, but it's not a bad buy at an RRP of $20.At 25% off RRP, the value becomes that much sweeter.I purchased two of these to use for carriage for the Hogwarts castle. The set is great. Easy to build (around 20 min. for me). The Thestral looks great. The point deduction for bad packaging. Both sets were purchased separately and each came into a soft, padded envelope and both boxes were damaged. It's not really the products fault, but since collectors seemed to value the boxes good packaging should be impotant.This unique set was being discontinued so I snagged one. Fun set to build with some unique characters. The carriage runs smoothly and is easy to build.I've been buying LEGO for my son. My daughter is not interested in LEGO and thinks it's all boys' toys. This time Harry Potter Lego liked it very much and it took one night to assemble it. Want me to buy her a similar toy. I will buy it for her when I think it is right.The thestral is my favourite fantasy animal, so I wanted one! :) I haven't put together any Lego since I was a child and was up for the challenge.Instructions were great! Outcome was great! All good!O produto é obviamente muito bom, já que é um Lego. Mas a entrega foi ruim. A embalagem do Lego em si veio amassada e rasgada. Detalhe, estava dentro de outra caixa de papelão que veio intacta. Fora isso, prenderam a NF na caixa do Lego com durex. Ao tirar, rasga a caixa. Péssima a loja que enviou. Sugiro a Amazon avaliar a mesma com mais critério.This lego set arrived on time and in great condition. My son loves this lego set and would recommend it.Product with ship well and in good condition no scratches on the box or dents.This is going to make a great Christmas gift!like most lego its over prices compared to similar brands that are probably made in the same factories.
