Izzy Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 (edited) Oh my... Oh wow! Really REALLY gorgeous looking set! My gawd the details in this, it is like a miniature Modular set, such brilliant work. No offense to whoever designed the Burrow (if indeed it wasn't the same people) but this... this is a whole other ball park. Jamie, is this from you? It looks like your work, it really really does! Fred and George *happy dance* So many figs. Just WOW! EDIT: After seeing the video interview with Nik Groves on shop at home, I'd like to say well done Nik and the rest of the Exclusive team!

Buckshot Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 I'm not a big Harry Potter fan, but this set looks good! Quote
Inconspicuous Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 This just blew my socks off. A must buy for all Harry Potter fans! I'm really liking some of the details in this set- black PoP arches, the new Atlantis column pieces, the owls, and of course the Weasley twins. Quote
Shroffy123 Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 Wow this set looks really good. Jan is going to be an expensive month. Quote
The Green Brick Giant Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 Dammit! I think I just peed myself! For $20 more than that (lame) castle?! That's just stunning! Quote

Skafte Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 So, is this the official announcement of the set that we have been waiting for? Quote
BearHeart Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 Just came across this on toysnbricks.com (LINK), scroll down for more hi-res pics : Quote
Sisco Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 Is this for real? It's absolutely lovely .. Unfortunately this just adds another $200 or so to my Bill ... Quote
ADHO15 Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 No! Stop it! Look in the right thread before you post something that's not supposed to be posted! Quote
metalandi Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 I was really excited for this earlier today, and the buildings still look awesome from outside, but...the interior is a HUGE letdown. In the black/green building there is almost nothing, and the white building misses a second floor badly. Quote
einsteinonthebeach Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 Absolutely gorgeous! This is the must-buy set of 2011! Quote
CorneliusMurdock Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 Wow. Just wow. My wife already called dibs on building Ollivander's... Quote
TheWarden Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 OK. I know absolutely nothing about HP, but boy is that pretty! Could be MODded into some nice Town layout I think as well. Quote
The Yellow Brick Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 These look fantastic, Some of the buildings will go perfect with the MMV . Quote
tin7_creations Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 Ok. 2 problems with this amazing set: 1) Where is Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes? 2) Why does Hermione have the same clothes as Ginny in The Burrow? I was hoping for another new female torso. Unless this is considered prelim? But otherwise; I love the inclusion of Ollivanders; and Fred and George are exquisite! Quote
-JD- Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 That is really nice looking, but I would have liked a few more shops for that price tag. Meh, this one will be one to miss. Thanks for the pictures and info. Quote
Admiral Ron Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 I am so getting this! It looks awesome! Quote
GRogall Posted October 1, 2010 Author Posted October 1, 2010 The post was closed before I could load the rest of the pictures so please stay tuned for all the minifigure close ups Quote
RoryoCox Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 This set is absolutely beautiful. I mean I have never been so impressed about something so amazing before. The minifigures are great and a good chance to get some rarer part. The buildings are designed really well . When I saw it on SaH I thought that there was a mistake until I got the shock of my life. I am getting this and will look forward to a review and building it myself. Quote
RoryoCox Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 (edited) I seem to have double posted the same thing, please delete this comment and sorry for the inconvenience. Edited October 1, 2010 by Burman Quote
