BrickBob Studpants Posted May 23, 2018 Posted May 23, 2018 Wow, that's actually a very cool looking Aragog, this definitely puts the most recent one to shame The minifig selection is rather poor given the exact same minifigs show up in the Hogwarts Express (even though it's the latter that should have featured different outfits for Harry and Ron), but it's understandable given the much-discussed budget restraints they've already bent as far as humanly possible Quote

ItamatTheGreat Posted May 23, 2018 Posted May 23, 2018 Yes, the minifig selection is indeed poor, but it's okay. Infact, I think it's great there are two main charater in such a small set. As for the build, I am glad it scails well to real life. I do not think it should have been bigger. Quote
Whovastron Posted May 23, 2018 Posted May 23, 2018 They’ve got the head shaping with the eyes perfect for Aragog! A perfect recreation of the 2002 Set! Quote

Black Numenorean Posted May 23, 2018 Posted May 23, 2018 For a little set, it is good. I hope a little price in euro lol Quote

I can't recall any important scenes in the films with him, only that he was at the forest detention in the books. I haven't seen the film in ages, but I never noted his presence, so I don't feel his loss if he was there. Anywyay, it's definitely the best Aragog, but it's still at HBP scale. I don't know why he's so much smaller in the later film, but this isn't very imposing for the Chamber of Secrets appearance. Edited May 23, 2018 by 8BrickMario Quote

He goes with them to see Aragog, he’s in the car when they escape Quote

And, here's what I think of the Aragog set - I wish it had an exclusive minifigure. I guess Aragog is exclusive technically. But Ron and Harry in these outfits both come in the Hogwarts Express, which is a fair superior set. Quote

Roebuck Posted May 23, 2018 Posted May 23, 2018 It is a great little set, lots of spiders, Aragog look good. To bad they did not include Fang then it would have been perfect, well we still have a fair chance to get him in Hagrid's hut or a cmf in the future.. What is the circle thing at the three base suppose to be? Quote

That’s fair, give the fans what they want, I must admit you’re my favourite Lego reviewer, especially your throwback videos, any chance of a Throwback Harry Potter set? Quote

Other than fang (who still isn’t a Minifig but oh well) there is kind of no one else Minifigure wise they could add into the scene at least I think, because I also haven’t seen the film in a long time.

IIRC Lucius Malloy, Fudge, Dumbledore and Harris were in the scene prior to the Aragog scene, so I guess it wouldn’t have been too much of a stretch to slip one of them in. Overall I like the set, Aragog is a good update and there’s a good amount of Spider pieces in here. Quote

I was about to say you were wrong then I remembered they were there to arrest Hagrid, I was thinking of Film 3 when Lucius wasn’t there, but yes, they could’ve easily slid Cornelius Fudge in as a way to get him unless we get him in a ministry set for OotP Edited May 23, 2018 by harleydavid98 Quote
topiku Posted May 23, 2018 Posted May 23, 2018 The aragog set looks pretty good, this would have been the perfect set to include the Invisibility cloak but eh.. Easy pass for me, getting the Hogwarts express set, so no exclusive minifigures for me and 20€ is a bit too much for my liking. Quote

I think the point was more about exclusive versions of the minifigures that are already in the set. To do that, they would have had to use more appropriate minifigures in the Hogwarts Express set. Then both sets would have exclusives. Quote
Whovastron Posted May 23, 2018 Posted May 23, 2018 Looking at Aragog more closely, the building techniques to form is head are quite wonderful. The piece originally used back in the day to attach doc ocks tentacles to has the fangs and some brown attached to to form the mouth, and the eyes/forehead? Folds over this build form the back. Ingenious, really quite something. Quote

But I just never really noticed him. He doesn't really do anything other than accompany Harry and Ron, and the Acromantulas far overshadowed the dog. Quote
THELEGOBATMAN Posted May 23, 2018 Posted May 23, 2018 I really like this set. No exclusive minifigures, but if someone doesn't have much money, it's a good deal. Aragog is great, cool techniques for eyes and mouth. Forest build is really cool. I love this cool transparent piece with web printing. Plus, we get 5 spiders Quote
