The Middleman Posted September 8, 2005 Posted September 8, 2005 Straight to it, then. Rescue From The Merpeople The Figures Dive Harry, dive! Another cool uniform, and his double-sided head... Gillyweed is taking effect, it seems! Krum with shark's head. And without. No, it does not fit over his hair. The hair is included, though! The merperson. Very cool. Simple, yet elegant, and I'm loving the hair. The back. A new face for Hermione. ... or two. Ron's looking groggy... And groggier. The Set A nifty boat. Oars! Yes... that is trans-green seaweed. And a red scorpion! Push that to... I dunno... push the scorpion out? It sucks, anyway. Octopus! And more. A step pulls out, and a couple daggers are buried... The back of the right side. The main section. Press that seaweed to shoot Ron and Hermione out of the structure. My favorite part. Yes, that is a chef's hat. The Final Verdict: 8.1/10 Figures: 10/10 Playability: 6/10 Build: 8/10 Pieces: 9/10 That completes my Harry Potter review series for now. Questions are welcome. Requests as well (although, I'm busy, so they might not be filled immediately). Hope you enjoyed this series, and I hope you'll consider buying these sets - they rock my socks, and LEGO deserves your money for producing them. Until next time, Bloody Jay Quote
Mr. Lego-builder Posted September 8, 2005 Posted September 8, 2005 :oD I'm speechless! Thanks for the reveiw!! I'm placing an order right now! (Besides, I've been thinking about it since the set first came out!) Quote
xwingyoda Posted September 8, 2005 Posted September 8, 2005 My favorite part. Yes, that is a chef's hat. excellent :oD , or a nice translucid cake for a nice bakery ;) !!!!! Quote
sam89 Posted September 8, 2005 Posted September 8, 2005 Is the detail on the Merperson's tail a sticker? I hope not. And is the chef hat supposed to be a jellyfish? Quote

The Middleman Posted September 8, 2005 Author Posted September 8, 2005 Are those trans green flames? *satis* Yes, two. :) Quote
General Grievous Posted September 10, 2005 Posted September 10, 2005 Cool. Harry Potter Legos are my second favorite line of Legos. Did you get those at a store or did you order them? Quote
Cutty Posted September 10, 2005 Posted September 10, 2005 Are those trans green flames? *satis* Yes, two. :) Wohoo! Me wants a dozen of that set! Such a great parts assortment here (well, safe for the figs that is...Ron could possibly pass as a demented zombie though...)! Question here: Is the pike thingy the merperson holds sand-blue or grey (well bley...)? Could be nice as a special weapon for RPGing...:oD Thanks BloodyJay, fantastic review and pics. *blurb,blurb* <= is currently being rescued from the merpeople ;) Cutty Quote
The Middleman Posted September 10, 2005 Author Posted September 10, 2005 @ General Grievous: I ordered them off S@H, except for Durmstrang Ship (languages sent me that). @ Cutty: the pike is sand blue, but it also comes in dark gray and dark blay (Orient Expedition China/KK2: Ankoria). Also, I made a mistake when answering your previous question - there are THREE trans-green fire pieces. Sorry! Quote
Cutty Posted September 10, 2005 Posted September 10, 2005 Thanks for the fast response BJ! About that pike: with it vbeing sand-blue here it was my very reason to call it "special-weapon" in the first place, considering I have a good amount of that fine piece flying around in both dark grey and bley ;) ... Another "Wohoo!" from me here! Even more trans-green goodness ^^ *cough, cough, breath* <- is now rescued from the merpeople... Cutty Quote
sam89 Posted September 11, 2005 Posted September 11, 2005 Lando at Millionaire Playboy has posted reviews and pics of the Goblet of Fire sets. Click here for the Durmstrang Ship, and here for the rest. Quote
Zane Posted October 1, 2005 Posted October 1, 2005 This set is tempting. The Merperson and the Shark head are the main reasons. That shark head would be perfect for a Viewtiful Joe Gran Bruce minifig! Quote
christopher110 Posted October 4, 2005 Posted October 4, 2005 I wish TLC included the minifig of Fleur in this set.... but they didn't. I like the colour combination of this set. The blues and the greens really work to depict an underwater scene. The merpeople looks a bit fierce . . . I really like the yellow crab and the red lobster/prawn (or scorpion from the castle line). The transparent-blue jelly fish is cute too....... I didn't know it was a jelly fish until i read about answer from Bloody_jay to sam89. Quote
Backpack3 Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 i might make tonks with the red hair :-D Quote
hollisbrick Posted April 6, 2008 Posted April 6, 2008 Hmm i had the chance to get this set the other day, wish i had have... :'-( anyway thanks for the reveiw! Hope it is still on S@H Quote
