They could have saved the consumer money and saved a thousand pieces by not including the platform. Or used those pieces to have another train car. The fact it isn’t usable with City scale train tracks is another huge missed opportunity.

@joevictor53 Жыл бұрын

They could've made it more appealing to so many more people by making it normal scale, allowing it to be motorised, making it longer. Instead they decided just to aim for the rich collector audience and forgot about everyone else

Even lowering the platform just a little, as well as lowering that massive, bulky train track, would've really helped ! Then like you said they could've added another car, Ron+Hermione figs, or the brick wall you need to traverse to reach the platform.

As a Lego Train builder, I'm ultimately happy this set exists. I had expectations for it when it was first announced and naturally was upset when it was a display set than a train set. So much could have been done with this but the internet has said my piece for me XD Lovely review, and for the coal car name: Tender. Locomotives that have a coal carrier wagon is called a 'tender', Just so the info is there ;)

Definitely one to wait for a deep discount on Amazon for though. This is way too expensive for the amount of stickers and lack of interior detail on the engine cab etc. The station also should have been at least twice as long. I am sure some will buy more than one or just mod the station to a more correct proportion anyway.

Wow, I didn't realise how dissapointing this set is until I literally picked up the system scale locomotive part of the train and watched you go through the different parts of this "UCS" one and comparing them. Outside of being bigger there is very little thats better about this one, from the lack of the drum lacquered golden pieces, to the front which the system scale did with that great print and here its a crappy sticker with weird assembly and even the cab for the driver of it is miles ahead in detail with the smaller one... I dont get this set at all and my wallet is happy about that.

@hopethehusky7410 Жыл бұрын

For me, it all comes down to color. If they made this is DARK RED it would truly be a "collector's set" and definite must purchase, instead it is kind of just of a bigger version of the 2018 set. I know, i know, it's "expensive" for LEGO to make pieces in new colors, but really?? For train fans, the Emerald Night, one of the most beloved train sets ever released was made in dark green, which to this day makes it so iconic in its look and not just simply another rehashed train. The set sells for almost 10x what it costs new since many of those dark green pieces never appeared in other sets (and the tan windows..). Probably just going to wait another 5 years for LEGO to reissue this set, hopefully with the proper color next time. Imagine how truly unique and special this set would be if it was in the proper color!!??

My favourite part of this set is the carriage. I love how functional it is (i.e. the doors that allow characters to access the train, and the corridor that allows characters to travel to the compartments). It's that aspect that puts other Lego trainsets to shame, and I hope it's an approach Lego will now use going forward with future train sets.

Thank you so much for the great review! I let all the ads roll, hoping that will help you recoup some of the cost! Also, as someone who’s been tuning into videos about the PC games, I found your soundtrack choice so incredibly pleasing. This is absolutely beautiful, but it’s way too big. Like the Titanic set, I just can’t imagine where one would find the space to display this. If anything, I might (though probably won’t) part out the station itself, however underwhelming most find it; it looks like the closest we’ll ever get to a representation of the Cursed Child stage, and I’m in love with it.

The coal car behind the engine is called the Tender :). It is disappointing there is no detail inside the cab. It looks strange without a firebox or detailed controls which are generally brass and could have been done so well with Lego. I am sure people will mod it before too long though. This engine is a Hall class Locomotive with a 4.6.0 configuration as it is has 4 leading wheels on two axles in a leading bogie at the front then 6 large powered and coupled driving wheels but no trailing wheels on the engine. I had a mate i went to school with that worked at a railway museum on weekends :). At least Lego did get the configuration correct for the wheels. The only main issue with accuracy which is not Lego's fault though is this engine class only ran until 1943 in reality so it was not used at the time the movies are set in.

It's a beautiful set. Just was hoping for something more like the Disney train set. Bigger than the normal trains but works on the same track and powered. Not being compatible with the Lego Train System Tracks is a problem. Why no Old Hermione and Ron? I would have made it like the Disney train set. With a Train car for each year you want to represent. Station? what they did is fine.

This is a great review Holly! One of the worst things about this set honestly is that it seems like a pain to display on a regular shelf. I'd like to be able to see both the platform and the train itself, which isn't entirely possible from one viewpoint. I guess I'll have to get creative when I do buy it😅

I think the passenger cart is well proportioned, where 2 minifigs can sit side-by-side and there's still room to pass by. I'll definitely get this, but I will wait for some discount. I don't think it's overpriced, but they could have done with fewer pieces on the tracks. And I agree that the light bricks don't add much, except maybe in the evenings. But then you have to somehow keep them pressed on. I wonder how much effort and pieces it will cost to expand the platform to fit another arch (or two). Thanks for the review. Well done. As for next year? There can be only Gringotts!!! A great set to finish on. (Hopefully we also get a third CMF series.)

NO increase in price to have two complete arches. Yeah and too, too bad with the misprint "King Cross" on the display placard. I've been through Kings Cross soooooo many times during my time in England 1985-1988 and as recently as 2019 when I was able to visit the Harry Potter store at Kings Cross.

Was rather surprised she couldn't find out what it is called. Every large Steam Locomotive had one, and so that "The Flying Scotsman" could set records for getting to Edinburgh from London it's tender had a corridor through it so that the Driver and Engineer could be changed without stopping. In fact the Hogwarts Express Prof Lupin (Prisoner Of Azkaban) after the Dementor attack says "I'm going to speak to the Driver", which without the corridor through the Tender would have been impossible on a moving train.

This is an amazing video but im really glad that they didnt cut or change any of the things that you wanted 😅 The only one i can agree with is the epilogue characters over the random students, but i do understand why that was done and im pretty happy to have some diverse characters as i dont atm. Everything else i really love, even down to the unfinished platform. It might be because its my kind of art style but i like the aesthetic of it. Lastly, as someone who cant afford things like this very often, the light bricks are exciting and i think make it feel luxurious as they arent something thats found in the cheaper playsets. But i suppose maybe they couldve been an optional add on with even more cool lighting like the lego titanic has

Great review Holly! Hope you can make your money back with more videos and this early review given what you had to pay. While I love both HP and lego trains, I am hugely disappointed that this doesn’t run on regular tracks. The train itself is beautiful and I love the extra room and detail and sliding doors in the passenger carriage but I’d have traded that for a train that runs and with another carriage. They could done an 8 stud wide train instead and have it run like Disney train. The station is gorgeous but wish it was longer and no epilogue Ron and Hermione is the wrong call. For such a high price tag, they should have done this in dark red if they are going to go out of their way to make a big collector edition stationary train. Not sure if I will buy this unless I can find it on big discount like 30-40% off.
