LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Express – Collectors' Edition 76405, Iconic Replica Model Steam Train from The Films, Collectible Memorabilia Set for Adults

Let me first start by saying that I got this set on sale at $350. AT THAT PRICE POINT, ITS A WONDERFUL SET, I would not buy it at the full price of $500. This is mainly due to the fact that the tracks are not compatible with existing or future lego train sets, they are too wide and there is no way to modify the train to fit on a standard track size.I got this as a gift for Christmas, and the person doesn't play with lego, and was more interested in having it as a display piece. "People are mad that they couldn't get the big one" sums it up.This is an awesome build, with some cool techniques that makes for a great display set. It's definitely aimed for Adult fans of Lego, and Harry Potter. For little kids, get the smaller one and some more tracks to play with, again this isn't a set to be actively played with.For $350, it's a good value, and its a huge set. For anything more, I'd wait until it goes on sale again (it will, it doesn't sell all that well).

This Lego set is not only huge (could not believe how heavy this set is,) but is extremely detailed. It is definitely not a beginners set to put together and will take some time. The interior of the passenger car is a lot of fun and shows how passionate the designers are to the source material. Love it!

Being a fan of the Harry Potter book/movie series, and a huge can of Lego, I can say I was definitely not disappointed. Lego does a great job with QA, but the number of minifigs in this set is quite tremendous. For any Lego collector it's a great set, but if you're a minifig collector, this is a huge win.Again, how can you go wrong with Lego? Probably a better investment than most stocks. :)

Great looking set to grab before it retires at the end of the year. Lots of minifigs and an overall really enjoyable build.

There are some not very durable parts, but generally set is great. Alot of figures and funny parts. Includes lights. Lot of fun assembling.

I bought this set for my 11 year old granddaughter who I am raising. This is probably her 6th or 7th Lego project but by far the most challenging.She LOVES it!!In four days she is about 3/4 of the way done. it’s all she can think about. I bought a 48” shelf board and clamped it to the card table she works on. You need this because the track is too long for the table. I expect she’ll have it completed before school starts up again. Lego has outdone themselves with this one. The detail is mind-boggling. It says 18+ but my granddaughter, while challenged, has had little difficulty getting it done. Don’t hesitate to get this. It is SO worth the price. The only problem I see? How in the heck are we going to top it!!

We purchase this for my son for his 15th birthday. We bought it half price on Black Friday. It took 3 of us about 10 hours to assemble, which meant we were done at about 3 AM. It was a lot of fun and built some fun camaraderie between me and my 2 sons. My son later had the joy of modifying the train by putting a moter in it to make it move in it's fixed position. The only negative part of the train was that it doesn't fit on normal lego track. It would have been cool to have it work on a normal lego track.

Great set, got on sale. Even better when you addon the light set, but it can be difficult to put together then or a challenge
