So, the 6,020 piece, ‘Hogwarts Castle‘ kit I got for my 15-year old artist, for Christmas, proved to be a HUGE success. Exceeded expectations. It turned out to be spectacular. WOW. WOW. WOW! We all loved it.
Her 16th birthday was in March & I needed a present. I spent 2-weeks, off-&-on during any free time I could muster researching Lego options. Then I saw this. She is into haunted houses & this kit would fit in, perfectly, with the theme she has muraled her room with. So, of course, I got it.
It was a surprise. She had no idea. Yes, it too proved to be a big hit.
She completed it in about 3.5-days, working quite a few hours a day.
It is blinking beautiful. So much detail & it is mechanical — the elevator, that goes all the way to the top of the spire, works. It can even be motorized, with a separate kit, if she wants to do so. For now she wants to keep it hand operated. She doesn’t like electric ‘things’ in her Lego.
Yes, we have a LOT of built Lego kits in the house — & a few that have yet to be built. Those are all mine! I keep on promising myself that I will get to them — after the next book (& the next).
I already know the next Lego kit I am going to be getting her. Not as big as this, but it is pretty fancy. I will, of course, let you know when the time comes.
