A cute set
" The boy and the girl look really cute once assembled. A little disappointed that the snow man didn't at least come with a carrot or something. We purchased 5 of these sets. On Christmas eve we're going to dump all the pieces into one pile and let the grandkids build their own person. Tree and snowman parts mixed in, should make for some cool figures. The idea came from one of their favorite Lego games Creationary.

Lots of play and parts
" This set took nearly two hours to build. It was a lot of fun to construct. There are some really good building methods used. I thought that Lego had come up with a new brick for the top and bottom of the air lock doors. Instead everything is built sideways. The way the windows under the rocket bikes were designed was a nice touch.
The set has a ton of great parts, (15) 1x2 slotted columns, Yellow and black sliding door, Dark gray base plate, (2) train pilots (cowcatchers), (4) computer terminals, (2) trans blue axes, a good selection of round bricks, a ton of tools, and much more. And don't forget the great minifigs Jawson, Craniac , and two space police. I wouldn't call the robot a minifig.
Once all together there is a ton to do. Lock up bad guys, prevent escapes, hours of playability. "

Much better set
" It took just over an hour to complete the set. It went together without any problems. This set is a remake of the 4707 Hagrid's Hut. This version is much nicer than the old one. Plates are used for the roof instead of plastic sheet. The outside looks great, the mushrooms are a nice touch. The inside is small but has a lot of detail for such a small space. All of the movie features are there, the fireplace, black kettle, Norbert the baby dragon. There's even a hidden key.
At a per brick price of 9 cents, not only is it a good price for a Lego set, but a great price for an HP set...

Another fun set
" We've purchased other sets in the "Racers" theme, this one is by far the best. It took the grandchildren less than an hour to assemble all the vehicles and buildings. There were a few problems assembling the truck but nothing major.
The break away bank was a lot of fun. They found lots of different ways to rob the safe and try and get away. The slammer worked much better than expected. With just a little force it sends cars across the room. There was lots of car crashes, screeching tires, and police sirens all evening. It's going to be fun to see how this set is combined with the other Racers sets.
This set has a very low per brick price. "

Better than before
" The set assembled quickly, under 15 minutes. This is a remake of the 4726 Quidditch set. This version is a little nicer in that the goal post look much better, and you get 5 minifigs this time instead of just 3.
Over all it's a fun little set that is priced right. "

Another great HP set.
" The set was a lot of fun to assemble. It took less than two hours to complete. If you missed the first HP train set (4708) this is a great chance to get it again. It is about the same size as the first set, and is very close in appearance. Most of the changes are to the details of the set vs it's overall construction.
The car was a great addition to the set and really added to the playability. It's not to difficult to locate parts to build extra passenger cars. There's plenty of accessories to play with.
At a per brick price of a little over 12 cents, it's priced average for HP sets. "

The LEGO Ville airport is always busy! The worker is loading up the luggage cart, the mother and child are boarding the plane, and the pilot is getting ready for take-off while the airport tower keeps an eye on everything. Includes lots of safe, sturdy LEGO DUPLO pieces! Includes 1 big passenger plane, airport tower connected to terminal, luggage cart with wagon, and 4 LEGO DUPLO figures! Plane doors open or remove the top of the plane and play inside! Oversized pieces for younger builders!

Lots of playability
" The set is designed with young children in mind. It's easy to assemble and hold onto. Once built the plane and tower hold up to play very well. There is a lot going on in this set. Passengers getting on and off (the roof comes off for easy access. ), cargo being loaded, refueling the plane.
This set is in our family playroom and is a favorite among the younger grandchildren. We were a little reluctant to purchase it at first due to the price, but it turned out to be a good buy. "

A nice looking set
" We just finished building this very large, very cool looking set. My wife and I each built one of the towers. It took us two evenings to build just those. A third evening to build the rest of the set. Construction moved along at a pretty good pace, and didn't get boring.
The towers have a lot of detail that doesn't show up in the pictures. My favorite part is the small upper bridges that connect the two towers. The set comes apart easy for storage or transporting. The micro vehicles are a great touch and give you a feel for the size of the actual bridge.
At a per brick just under 6 cents a brick this set is priced way below average. It just has a ton of bricks. "

A good small set
" We purchased this and the other two Halloween sets (bat and ghost) for a party with some of the grand kids. We put one of each together to see how they looked. We were disappointed in the other two, but this one really looks cute. It's a fast build and younger kids wont have any trouble at all. Now if we can keep them hid away until Halloween.
At a per brick price of 11 cents the price is right. "

Let it snow
" This set was a lot of fun to put together. It took just under an hour, and made me smile the whole time. It has some interesting build methods and was one of those sets you can't stop until your finished.
There are lots of minifigs to place in different areas that really add to the set. This was a perfect addition to the"Christmas train" and "Winter Toy Shop" which is back again if you missed it. The shop has nice detail and the feel of a real bakery. You can almost smell the treats baking.
I purchased some additional white and clear bricks to expand the skating rink, and connect to the toy shop. I added some more trees to the tree sellers stand.
My Christmas Lego display is growing each year, which is a big hit with grand kids and adults alike. "
