So I made a digital model of the Barnes & Noble Harry Potter lego 2024 "Back to Hogwarts" freebie promotional "Platform 9 3/4" vignette build over on Mecabricks. (Feel free to click through and twist it around and zoom as needed. Or just give me some love there, just saying... 😆) ( Read more... )

And now I've completed the provisional model of the new Diagon Alley set on Mecabricks. It's a cute build. 76439 Lego Harry Potter Diagon Alley: Ollivanders™ & Madam Malkin's Robes and once yet again, they've changed the naming conventions in contrast to last year's set, eliminating the 'Diagon Alley' bit and including the second shop in the ( Read more... )

A REVIEW and MOC (My Own Creation) in three parts...
This is the second in a three part series reviewing the official lego Harry Potter summer 2024 wave's 76431 Hogwarts Castle: Potions Class and introducing gingerwitch's (MOC) modification thereof.

Today we'll look at the official lego set, 76431 Hogwarts Castle: Potions Class, and establish how ( Read more... )

Continuing what is now a tradition, I've tried to reverse engineer the lego Harry Potter Potions Classroom build on mecabricks, and I've come reasonably close. The neat thing here is you can see how it folds together. Key things to note,
1) I didn't bother too much with the hinges where I can't see what they're doing anyway; I'll just wait for the ( Read more... )

So in this winter's lego Harry Potter winter 2024 wave, we got a cute little Ford Anglia set (lego 76424 Flying Ford Anglia - 165 pieces $15 | 15 EUR | £13). And as part of this summer's lego Harry Potter summer 2024 wave, we're getting a suitably terrifying Aragog set (76434 Aragog in the Forbidden Forest - 195 pieces $20 | 20 EUR | £18). While I ( Read more... )

Not Harry Potter lego news, for a change, but there's a new Gift With Purchase (GWP) available as of tomorrow (which generally means midnight. No clue how quickly this set will disappear from the shelves, but if you were thinking of making any large lego purchases, particularly the Jazz Club modular (which, so cute!), now would be a good time to ( Read more... )

So I really wanted to try putting lego Harry Potter 40577 Hogwarts: Grand Staircase into the modular builds to see how it would all work together, which means I just had to build a model to give it a whirl... (Caveats: some parts are missing from the mecabricks database, and I'm working without instructions and kind of winging it.)

I'm running a touch late for the occasion, but I've designed a digital lego set for milotzi: McGonagall's Quarters. (You can find it over on Mecabricks.) It converts the 76382 Hogwarts Moment: Transfiguration Classroom set into the Gryffindor Head's chambers while keeping the hallmarks of the Moment theme - all builds must be storable in the closed book ( Read more... )

... and I've put another build on mecabricks, the Infirmary.
