This comment means a lot! There's way too much negativity out here right now. LEGO is my means of escape - I prefer to keep the drama far away! Glad you can appreciate a more lighthearted approach to the hobby too.

I agree so much man, whenever I watch reviews they are always complaining about what was not included in the set or how inaccurate it is which is why I love watching his reviews even if I am not very interested in the sets its so great to see a positive view on things!

@@boganbricks Exactly. What I appreciate is when there is something worth complaining about, he does rightfully bring it up, but the difference is he doesn't harp on it or blow it out of proportion

@@CheeseyStudios yes I do love the light hearted videos you make. That’s why I love your Harry Potter videos.

@@CheeseyStudios thank you for doing it this way because it is the reason I watch your videos instead of someone else's like M&R

I know, right? That's the cool thing about remakes like this.

Based on how most “fans” talk about Lego these days you’d think the opposite.

@@h2owl205 the builds themselves have definitely improved, but i think the reason fans say that is because the company seems to be getting greedier, with recent price raises and such

@@foodisscarce okay you say that but listen to how much the 2004 version of the shrieking shack costed back then and what it would translate to now. Sure inflation has gotten out of control but that’s not legos fault, and they aren’t even close to being the only company to raise prices based on the increase. The only thing Lego is doing now that they haven’t done in the past is they’re releasing a bunch more large, complex, and expensive sets for the 18+ line. Yes their product line has a higher mean price, but on average they match the value of what you’re getting in the package. In other words, Lego has always been expensive, and the reason you might not think this is the case is thanks to the good old rose tinted nostalgia goggles. I really don’t see anything that inherently makes them greedy these days. They’re giving fans the stuff they’ve been wanting for years, but what they’ve been asking for is expensive products.

Yeah, it's great that each set can still stand on its own merits. Glad both exist!

@@CheeseyStudios And even more that you own them and presented them side by side. Thank you so much for all your videos!

Thanks Copper! I do love me some Harry Potter sets. LEGO has done such a great job with the theme. Definitely agree that there were quite a few misses when it came to the sticker situation with this one though.

lol! That would be the ultimate MOC seed part haha

It's my pleasure! So glad you're enjoying

I miss the old sets' magic, but I sure love the movie accuracy too. Oh, and the new figures.... So so good!

Really glad you enjoy

Thank you!

Really appreciate it! Glad you're enjoying!

That's awesome! So many amazing parts in that set. Do you have the weird transforming box thing too? xD

Time to build it, then! Have fun with it!

@@KrissFighta2 sadly ik I used most of the pieces for MOCS I’ve made. However I can try and rebuild most of it.

@@fidgetsbricks That's part of the magic of these bricks: you can enjoy them many ways. Have fun!

@@CheeseyStudios I may, I rebuilt a few of the sets from the tub, and quite a lot of pieces were missing. (It was a huge 40 gallon tub we got for $75, Had a gem of a set inside. The Black Pearl. Missing it’s sails and flag and some minor pieces.the rest of the set was all there)

Glad I could bring back some good memories ❤

Really appreciate it!

I was surprised how well the old one holds up too!

Stickers are problematic in so many ways lol!

Really glad you're enjoying the channel - lots more fun stuff to come!

True! That's the beauty of LEGO!

@@CheeseyStudios Definitely!

Thank you!

Hopefully I'll be able to do more next year. I really enjoy making these Harry Potter videos

Early Harry Potter was PEAK

Glad you came across the channel!

@@CheeseyStudios For the record, you guys totally should have won. ATB from a fellow cheesehead. : )

Oh interesting! I didn't even notice until you pointed it out, but you're totally right. Ahhhhhh whyyyyy LEGO whyyyy

@@CheeseyStudios Yeah, it's quite an unfortunate direction LEGO is going in that regard. The advent calendar's Cho Chang as well as the blue CMF Dumbledore also had deviating hues of Light Aqua and Bright Light Blue respectively :( But it makes me especially mad when it comes to sets as LEGO increasingly builds IP sets around exclusive minifigures and I had not one set in the last months with not at least one printing error or similar quality issues with an exclusive fig :( And when I build with Dark Tan, I'm buying ca. 30% parts more than I need on BL or PAB to make sure I have enough parts in either the reddish or the greenish hue because it drives me MAD! :D

One coming out tomorrow already - get hyped!

What really? Finally😄

That's especially horrible... Something really needs to be done about this issue.

The whole reboot has indeed been a dream come true. Can't wait to see what we get this summer!

Right on! No problem at all :D

Both sides definitely have their pros and cons. It's very interesting to see how things have changed over the years!

lololol - blowing minds was a bit of my intention xD Hope you feel better soon though

It does honestly look like a big weird battery box or some other mechanical thing haha - that would have been nightmare fuel!

So true though about the buildings and vehicles 😅 Perhaps it's because I've always been a building guy that I was never interested in Star Wars...

Thank you

lolol yeah, LEGO had like no rules during the early 2000's. Needed a special piece? Just make a new mould and then instantly discontinue it

Indeed!

The wolf flipping cracked me up so good lol... Couldn't have staged that if I tried! To be totally honest I didn't even see that crack until you pointed it out. I think I'm just used to it now xD

It strikes such a good balance! The classic sets were so much fun

Agreed. Printing UCS plaques is a step in the right direction at least

It's a great kit for sure, but perhaps a bit on the pricey side. I'd hold out 'til some Black Friday deals at LEGO Shop@Home. Snagging double VIP points and maybe a GWP or two could definitely make it worthwhile! Otherwise if you're willing to wait a year or so, it's possible you could see this discounted up to 20% at Amazon or other retailers.

@@CheeseyStudios thanks man!!!!

Good points!

I do wish they were easier to pick up these days, but they just get more and more expensive... :,c

The same figures came in the Hospital Wing earlier this year - you can see my review of it here! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p7amp5qlyri1pGw.html

Ohhh, ive not seen that set, thank for the info!

Deathly Hallows definitely did my boy dirty 😭 Lupin's always been my favorite too

Me too! Especially the size - that was so crazy to me!

Hopefully! :O

Like the cube shelves in the background?

@@CheeseyStudios yes

@@CheeseyStudios and the legos in it

That's awesome! Such A bizarre piece, but certainly fun to play around with

Thank you!

Currently, Harry Potter's probably my favorite active LEGO theme. Always been a big HP fan! What's your favorite theme?

Probably star wars

lol! Thanks Grumpy

​@@CheeseyStudios😊😊😊юборррир 2:54 2:54

😮рпреннроовуаакаааааааааааааааоююююаваааа

Oh dang! That's epic. I really wish I had the boxes still

There's some really awesome sets in the Harry Potter line for sure!

Agreed. They'd definitely get their money's worth out of it too - it would be such a useful print to have.

And I mean it!

Oh nice! Thanks for letting me know - I've learned something new today :D

@@CheeseyStudios always happy to help

It's a good one for sure!

Oh nice! Someone else had pointed out a Star Wars figure that had it too. I'm trying to find the most recent example, and I wonder if they'd ever start doing it again

:))))))

@@CheeseyStudios Knights Kingdom was my favorite theme growing up. Had 75% of the total sets. Got Vladeks castle for Christmas the year it came out and played with that set for years until by bother and cousin demolished it. Can’t wait!!!

@@thequickestwit3920 That's epic! It was my first theme growing up, so I have a lot of great memories attached to it. I've got all of the first wave, but a little less of the later two

@@CheeseyStudios it was the first major theme, other than Bionicle, I got into as a kid. The 3 major castles from the theme were all really well done. The 3rd wave caste always gave me Helms Deep vibes. One interesting thing I learned recently is that the purple motorcycle helmet has shot up in value recently for only being in two sets (both Knights Kingdom) since they introduction of the purple space man torso from Series 22.

Ohhhhhhh! I was wondering why Danju was so expensive compared to the other figures!

Even so, the old one squeezed it in without a basement! Could have been a nice touch

Very valid lol

Yeah 😪 I'll still keep doing them though! Harry Potter's always been my favorite theme

Nice! I need to do the same. Such a good one!

Good idea!

@@CheeseyStudios ty

:]

That's awesome! It's a great set

I only have 3, that set (which is now broken and most of the pieces lost(Apart from the blue swirl, the stag, the top half of 1 dementor, the tree, Sirius and Harry)) and the great hall set (which is has broken recently because It was on one of 2 display shelves, I make a stupid mistake and the whole shelf crashed along with The Great Hall, The Creator Expert Mini, and another harry potter set.) AND another harry potter set with Hermione, Neville, and Mad- eye Moody/Barti Crouch Junior in his classroom(#4).😶

Same 😂

Probably. It does feel like it unnecessarily inflated the price. Though it does look good!

Thanks for the heads up! It's been fixed

Yeah! It's currently members-only, but hopefully it'll come out some time in December. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hp9oi7p6mKybhas.html

Here, perhaps? :O kzfaq.info/sun/PLsKt5PwQV-mM6KrvPJDLtygwXGVUgfxmx

Yeah, the fence was definitely fluff

You're always welcome here ❤

It has to be 😂

They do! It showed up in most every summer set this year actually

@@CheeseyStudios Ah. Makes sense I haven't been looking at the minecraft sets lately

Some crazy numbers games going on here xD

Lolol

\o/

Day 32 and 33

You not wrong 😂 But have you ever seen Goblet of Fire 2005 LEGO Ron? Now THAT is some cursed stuff

@@CheeseyStudios holy mother of god

@@CheeseyStudios but also the old hermione had demon eyes

Nope, comes out tomorrow.

@@CheeseyStudios ah, really excited!

Hello!

What

Kinda gotta agree with Others here

Yeah, for sure. I'd just rather they get it right the first time 😪

@CheeseyStudios oh I know trust at the end of the day it's still annoying
