Looks Better in Person
" This set is relaxing and easy to put together. I chose to do the Ravenclaw version. It looks more majestic and less crow-like in person and the blues and metallic black contrast nicely with the silver and white. It looks excellent on display, although I wish there was less grey or perhaps an "R" or something else representing Ravenclaw to add decoration to the plain grey area. Even some bronze-coloured pieces (Ravenclaw colours are bronze and blue) as accents might add some more visual interest. I plan to buy another set so that I can have two house crests on display at once. I found a design online that allows for the construction of the entire school crest using just one set, instead of the four, so I may try that, as well.
Overall, this piece is great value for your money, is visually appealing, provides many options for designs (four given, in addition to the ability to use the frame and pieces to design your own), is sophisticated enough for display in the home or office (it has a Medieval, heraldic design) and perhaps most convenient of all, is meant to hang on the wall, so it doesn't take up shelf or table space.
I am not a Hufflepuff, but the gold and black image and colour scheme are strikingly appealing.
I must say that I do wish there were gold bricks for Gryffindor and yellow for Hufflepuff and that the Gryffindor red was more vibrant. The tone of the red is more burgundy or red brown, than a deep scarlet.
I do think that it is definitely a 10 and up or even 15 and up project, as it requires patience, hand-eye coordination, visual acuity and somewhat developed pattern recognition skills to complete the detailed patterns of some of the design.
The accompanying hangers are quite sturdy and the crests look good on my wall. I would have loved to build the entire crest, but $600 was just too much to pay.
Update:
Having read other reviews, I concur that Ravenclaw would have been better represented by an eagle.

I ended up using the second set for my own design, and made a nice Harry silhouette and a background using all four main house colours. I decided to layer the dots to make a 3D effect and it looks amazing! I don't feel like spending more money on 1x1s (there are SO MANY leftover already), or else I would get more black and dark metallic grey to make dimensional hair and pop out Harry's spectacles even more than I did.

Festive and Cute
" The moveable mouth is what convinced me to purchase this piece. It functions very smoothly and makes this a standout. It makes a great addition to the previous Christmas Brickheadz. I enjoyed that the body and head construction techniques were different than the other Brickheadz, which added to the interest of the build. The little tree is cute, but the pile of presents was nothing special; I do wish that there was a new decoration element included instead of the presents and tree. The gold brick accents on the nutcracker's uniform are a nice touch and his hat, grey hair and beard are nicely done. Any child or adult would enjoy this quick build and be happy to add it to their Christmas display.
One final note was that in the instruction book, it was a bit difficult to distinguish between the light tan and the khaki bricks, so one had to pause and double-check that. "
