Gonkalin Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Leaked Image. Not confirmed.... But looks nice! Apparently Lego accidentally shipped this set to a customer instead of the new castle set. I love the train station/platform details. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudoty Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Could you imagine. The risk of an eBay auction. That’s what lego gets for putting TBD on the box instead of the set name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bricklectic Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 i wonder how much ebay auction would fetch. im going with 2-2.5k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonkalin Posted August 8, 2022 Author Share Posted August 8, 2022 Yeah but the set number is correct for the castle. 10305. Is that a photo of the box for the 76405 Hogwarts Express? Agreed. I figured $3K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that a photo of the box for the 76405 Hogwarts Express? No it is my box for the castle. Wondering if someone put a train in a castle shipping box because it seems very unlikely that the train box would have been scanned and shipped. Unless it was intended for a LAN member and somehow got mixed up. ETA the guy replied on Reddit that it did not come in a lego shipping box just a plain brown box, and that he lives in NZ wherever that is.

NZ = New Zealand He should not offer free shipping as it probably costs $200 to ship a box that size from there to US Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keymomachine Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Dang, this thing is quite nice looking, but it's not railable (hahaha) as its like 10 wide or something. Honestly kind of just glad there is a new thing I don't want to buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll get the castle whenever a good giveaway comes around, but then I think I’m done buying for a while. I’m actually planning on doing my own free building more often.

MotorCityMuscle Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 (edited) yup. another dumb move. what's the percentage of folks who have the space to have a Hogwart's setup up all the time? just going to have the train sitting there? if they want the detail that a wider train brings, make some wider track and have a different scale? surely a few pieces of track ends up costing less than 1000 pieces for some display track. or just make it a wider train, but make it run on standard track? idk, i'm not a MOC train builder. but i do love trains and they should run with, at the very least, an optional engine. but, this is also the same company that tried to revive the expert train line with the Crocodile. so unlikely.

Pseudoty Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 So 2 updates. First, some are reporting that multiple people in NZ got the train instead of the castle, but it may just be the same pics going around. Second, the guy posted an update and there is no surprise box like in Diagon Alley. Also the 8x16 UCS tile is a sticker not a print as reported by promo bricks. New update: My wife returned from her work and opened the box without telling me! Now there's no going back... Soooooo, new photos of the contents are uploaded to the link. A. It consists of 45 plastic bags + 2 no numbered bags. 19~45 can be found right away when you open the box, but 1~19 + 2 extra bags + instruction manuals + stickers are in a white smaller box inside. B. It has 4 sets of instruction manuals. 1 - engine room 2 - cargo 3 - passenger carriage 4 - platform C. Sticker photo is attached I'll start assembling but most likely I won't be able to finish the build today. I'll keep you guys updated tomorrow, too! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

$20 on joe vs dan Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 it's kinda cool that you can recreate multiple iconic scenes...but there's some serious spoiler alerts needed since certain quotes on the tile pieces basically spoils the ending also that pic from SAH website of the parent and child puts the size of the set into perspective...itsa huuuge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzy_bricks Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 I don't know if it's worth $500, but it looks impressive. 36 minutes ago, $20 on joe vs dan said: it's kinda cool that you can recreate multiple iconic scenes...but there's some serious spoiler alerts needed since certain quotes on the tile pieces basically spoils the ending The last movie came out 11 years ago.

Darth_Raichu Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Is that the first adult Harry minifig? By extension the first Potter family minifig set. Good minifigs selection that represents scenes onboard of Hogwarts Express. Except for the Potters as they were only shown on the platform Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmpirate Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Is it just me, or does that train just look massive in the pic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think about how much bigger the 8 stud Speed Champions are compared to the 6. I’m not a HP buff but are you going to need 2 more coach cars and a caboose or is this how it appears in the movie? This thing looks like a huge remake of the Emerald Night in red. Excuse the years of dust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t_mafia Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 They should have made this regular train scale w/ 2-3 cars and a better train station. At 6 studs and reduced size per car they could have maybe cut the pieces and price to <$400 accordingly. for $500 they will get the die hard HP fans and not much else. Imo they have missed on the last 2 HP D2Cs. First the Owl and books set and now this. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would have been an almost guaranteed hit. Everyone who owns Diagon Alley would want it, and if the building was modular (either on 32x32 studs or on 32x48 studs like Assembly Square), they could also target that AFOL audience who collect modular buildings.
