Early lego has just that fealing

As a total arachnophobe, I still don't know why I absolutely needed the Aragog set.... My mom turned this and the Quidditch set into a DIY advent calendar, each day a handful of pieces wrapped up in giftwrap, like an early version of numbered bags, and so every morning I could build a few steps of the set. But really....spiders...for Christmas? Why. In my opinion still the best Aragog, precisely because he doesn't look that creepy

If Lego does another Knockturn Alley it will be the first HP set I'll be buying since I was a kid in the early 2000s

this is so nostalgic for me, even though i never had any of these sets growing up and they were slightly before my time, that classic lego simplicity makes me so happy

There are things I know look worse about these sets, but what I love so much is that these sets don't just try to recreate the movies; these lego sets try to recreate the feeling a kid would have had watching them for the first time. At least for that, I will always respect these more than their rebooted counterparts ❤

The Dobby head really looks creepy. Who knows what he saw, when he still was with the Malfoys?

It's such a creative set. There was just so much to do in it

As a kid I loved Harry Potter, and the first two movies are still by far my favourites. The other movies never managed to enchant me. I would pine looking at pictures of this whole set shown at the end of Garfield magazines. In the end I never got any of them, my only ever Harry Potter Legos being exclusively from Goblet of Fire. Just hearing that iconic tune makes me feel nostalgic. Love watching your videos, it takes me back to a time where I'd have tons of fun building whatever from all the pieces collected.

The most anticipated video series for me, keep up the good job, excelent video

17:20 It's really odd that for one time LEGO decided to create accurate printing. Also Harry's checked shirt is accurate 21:11 It's worth mentioning that Vernon Dudley's face was exploited outside LEGO Harry Potter (to be honest only Lucius one probably was also reused amongs many to choose). Vernon was also a knight or a Police officer! 27:51 I recently bought new version and I love it. But old version, with weird shelves full of goodess and Dumbledore's private mailbox... You just can't pass away without looking! 😂 33:00 This hairpiece is PURRFECT for Bo Katan. Lego shouldn't give up on this mold imo. It's great 38:53 It's sad that LEGO got more inside info of the production, because it would be great to see book-based Chamber with enormous Slytherin's statue 44:01 Inclusion of two base plates is very neat 46:01 beside Troll on the loose and marauder map set this is only set I desire to have from pre 2010 waves:))

These sets are amazing. I love the Slytherin house and the Basilisk. This is a truly great line

Still wild to me that Lucius Malfoy went to pilot school after visiting Knockturn Alley and now owns a Desert Biplane

Amazing as always! prisoner of Azkaban are my favorite Lego sets of all time and I cant wait to see you get to them! I also cant wait for your next exo force video!

Love to hear it - thank you! I absolutely love making these kinds of videos too

A cool part about the Chamber of Secrets is that it can hinge closed to an actual hallway with the walls enclosing the rest of the plates. Those gray paths become one gray path in the middle leading to the statue. I still find it very cool! Also, if you don't mind seeing some gaps and some accesories, the chamber could work if you turn it around and have the back face the front as an outside wall.

Despite me being a screen accuracy fan, there's a real charm to these older sets. All the colourful pieces and prints really amp up the magical nature of the theme. Plus, the sand red Lockhart is stunning. Really enjoyed the cameos from other Lego-tubers, especially Holly, who also does excellent Lego HP coverage.

I have a distinct memory getting the spider set on my birthday - my family thought it would be fun to play football outside, and as a kid who wasnt into sports this felt like an afront to what I thought was my celebration, so I went to my room and built this set instead… the things you remember! The chamber of secrets themselves was always a big desired set that wasnt in the cards for me as a kid. I am hoping one day we get a big +18 esc display with the buildable head & proper justice for the basilisk. It is, truly epic, and as a kid whats cooler than a giant snake?!

I've lost touch with an old friend of mine, but he had a pretty great Harry Potter collection, and he did have the whole Hogwarts over the Chamber of Secrets setup, and it was really cool to see.

The only ones I don't have is Slytherin, Dueling Club and Quidditch. I think the Chamber was so much better in that size than teh most recent. And I LOVED Dumbledore's Office.

Dumbledore's office is the only set from the Chamber of Secrets wave that I own. I remember being so excited to buy it with money I'd saved up over birthdays, Christmas, and grandparent visits. It's also one of the sets my siblings and I owned which had part of the instructions or the whole instruction booklet disappear. (Note: a shoebox or small plastic bin in which all of your Lego instructions are stuffed into is an absolutely terrible way to store them and did not help this.) All these years later and I still suspect my youngest sibling as the culprit, but I don't think I'll ever know the truth.

Hey great video. Somewhat new sub here. Can you review the new olivanders set and compare it to the older diagon alley

I must admit that im not that interested in harry potter, ive only watched halfway through the movie series as a kid, but i have been enjoying these videos very much. I watched them back to back, im not sure if its because its old school lego or because i remember key moments/characters from like over a decade ago.

ok I'll bite - I've been watching your videos for a while and something I've always wondered - how can a minifigure from these old sets you review be sold as "new"? I've seen this on bricklink as well where you can buy a minifig "new" where you obviously have to open a set to access the fig, making it no longer new. What do you classify as "new" for a minifig? and just for my curiosity, do you include shipping in your price estimates? (if not, it would be a welcome edition to get a better idea of realistic out of pocket prices for these things)

@CheeseyStudios

5 күн бұрын

All good questions! To be classified as a new figure, it has to be taken directly from a new sealed set and stored away. The set can't have ever been put together, and most sellers will sell their new figures disassembled even. My estimates are without shipping, as it varies drastically depending on where you live and who you're buying from. Many sellers offer free shipping above a threshold, others will charge $50 or more depending on the size of the set. If you're based on the US and ordering domestically, I can give you an idea of what I've come to expect: $10 for a small sealed set, $20-$25 for a medium-sized sealed set, $40+ for larger sealed sets. Hope that helps a bit!

7:00 I've never liked the suggested combination for these sets. Too much has to be removed from the top of the bathroom set which also should be above the Slytherin set, since that is located in the dungeons. Lego must have paired these two together since they both feature the flat baseplates, instead of the 1-stud-high ones in the rest of that Hogwarts line.
