Ashnflash so this idea came across my mind after making the pac man set (really cool btw) but LEGO has been doing 80’s stuff targeting towards older people and I thought that a good Idea would be 80 action movie cmf series like robo cop terminator Aliens Rambo and like the classic movie cmf and you can have 2 or 3 characters from each movie please make this on LEGO ideas it would be awesome I love your vids and I would love if you did this thanks 🙏
Imagine if they did the entire Middle-earth map with microbuilds for the Shire, Rivendell, Moria, Murkwood, the Lonley Mountain, Lothlórien, Rohan, Isengard, Fanghorn, Gondor, and Mordor.
What I’d love is for them to do multiple of these, like @steve152 suggested, and then you can combine them all into one big map of middle earth. Maybe, if not everything is included, they could sell an extra set which would have some extra bits to the map and maybe a legend and stuff so that in the end it will look like a completed map
Aside from actual architecture, I'd love to see some natural scenery at this microscale. Think the Grand Canyon, Niagara Falls... 30cm square, or 20x40 if it's a long thing, works really well on a shelf.
Great looking set, almost perfect, I just don't get why there is no Clock Tower as the only part of the Hogwarts Castle missing, I'm sure someone can make a moc to make it complete it just would have been nice to have some exclusive print for the clock tower as well
Where exactly do you see it? The clock tower should connect by bridge from the hospital wing that is behind the great tower. As far as I can see there is nothing like that..
I really like all the little details like the sand green crystals on this set. Hopefully this opens the door for more licensed Architecture sets in the future.
I have wanted the large Hogwarts castle for a long time now, but the price was way to steep for me. This one is amazing! I really like it, I probably won't get it on launch but it will be a great Christmas present!
one of the few categories I got into LEGO for was the micro scale look, and architecture for sure. A great combination. I definitely want to see more of these, licensed and non licensed alike.
I lost my love for Marvel lol. The marvel movies nowadays just suck. They’re just cliche superhero movies now. They ruined marvel for me because of the whole multiverse anything can happen thing. Literally anything can happen in that world and anyone could come back from the dead. I’m calling it right now that Ironman will make a return. I’m lost with Marvel
It seems like you've placed the Astronomy Tower the wrong way, the hole should face the Great Hall, but it's nice to see that it can be flipped around as that is what it looked like in the first couple of films! Too bad the Clock Tower is not included tho, the Hogwarts Architect fig is def the highlight of the set for me!
Excellent set, Im getting this one. Using the polybag quidditch field is genius. There is also more missing landscape like Hagrid's Hut, the owlery, some part of the forbidden forest.... I'm very excited to expand this sets
When I heard about this set initially, I was a bit bummed thinking it wasn't the big expansion for the $500 Hogwarts one - felt like there were some missing pieces there. But seeing this set for real totally changed my mind. I'm actually loving it! Even though I've got the massive Hogwarts set, I never got around to building it 'cause my space is tight. This new set is a lifesaver for folks like me with limited display room. 🏰
Currently in the middle of building the set. Although it is smaller in scale, this is probably the largest set I have done and also it has taken me the longest. I am now going on day three of building it, really having a great time throughout the process. I am definitely going to save the instruction books and go back and read all of the extra information after I am done completing it.
Love this set. I'd like to see an Add-On to it that could be displayed next to this one that includes Hogsmeade, train station, quidditch pitch, dark forest, and Dragon Arena.
i'm debating if i should get it or not... i only need the battle of hogwarts to finish the big "minifig scale" hogwarts modular system. BUT this is a much fuller hogwarts but i'm not a huge fan of micro scale.
J'aurai tellement aimé que le set soit un petit peu plus grand, pour qu'il y est la place d'y mettre la tour de l'horloge avec sa cour et son pont (seul partie manquante du chateau) ainsi que la cabane d'Hagrid et le terrain de Quidditch ...
the potions classroom is in the dungeons so it makes sense but im also reminded of a scene from The Philosopher's Stone where they encounter Snape's potions/riddle task, but of course it's not intended as such
I’d argue the past 2 castles where a lot better because there was more interior details, but this is still an extremely cool set I’d say top 3 or 4 Harry Potter sets
You put the astronomy tower the wrong way around and everyone seems to feorget that the clock tower is missing. Really awesome Set though. I'm going to pick it up too
I don’t know why they put two studed pieces on the frame for the minifigure…. Why not just one that you could either put in the middle or on the end? I think it looks a bit stupid having both
I would love if you could share your opinion and compare this set to the $470 Hogwarts set. Obviously they're different in scale anr price, but maybe there's something about a specific one that makes it much better
@@PAL.Studios i'm not sure if it will retire this year (tye hogwarts d2c microscale) but as it is from 2018 it would make sense to retire a 5 year old set
I think u put the astronomy tower the wrong way round. In some movies it faces that way but in the later movies, hogwarts legacy and the instructions it faces the other way
Great time releasing this as I just got the LEGO Harry Potter Collection for the Switch and I just finished Year One (Sorcerer's (Philosopher's) Stone)
I'm liking this set. I like the smallest micro scales rather than the medium micro scale. A bit pricey for my likeing though. Maybe I'll sell the mini-fig if it goes for a high amount.
I kinda hate how this still isn't the whole castle, it's missing the whole back of the castle with the hospital wing, clocktower and clocktower courtyard, and the wooden bridge
It's sets like these that make me wish Lego invested in boardgames more so we can have awesome game boards 🙃 also 12:00 new tile piece used for the road?
They tried board games with Heroica, Star Wars and a brand they created but it did not work...Although if the do a dungeons and dragons modulable set, its over. This would be the cheapest and the most accessible way to get into roleplaying and you can improve yourself and personnalize with your construction.
@@Ayanamy-vl2pl I think those attempts by lego failed because they didn't commit to it hard enough. For one thing, the games themselves were rather simple and the novelty likely wore off after a few plays even for the young target audience. It also didn't help that they didn't use proper minifigures as the game pieces. D&D would be insane if it combined with the accessibility that Lego offers, the customizable game pieces and characters, not to mention the ability to alter something on the spot. If you're familiar with, I bet a game like Clank would mesh well with Lego elements
missed lego announcing this completely. I think my september is concorde only, but if this is discounted at retail maybe closer to Christmas or early next year.. Give me a Neuchweinstein castle please, especially now you’ve done Himeji. (sorry for spelling)
I was just thinking about this for avengers tower and then I remembered oh yeah, they did avengers tower like this just because of the set coming out in November
Was rotating the astronomy tower an intentional choice? Technically its just as correct because it changes from movie to movie but I was just curious. Great review!
This one is much much much smaller. So it includes more of the castle. Also, it doesn’t include any microfigures. Instead, it comes with the Hogwarts architect.
I don't understand this set personally. I already have the big castle, but I understand why they would make a cheaper version. The thing is still too much money and the only upside is the founder figure to add to your Icon moments stand woth your 20th anniversary figures.
For me? Because this is the whole castle, I’m gonna be dismantling the other Micro scale one. Saves me space. But ya the figure is amazing and this is the full castle
@@Ashnflashoh wow That sounds so much fun bc i would love to sit and stick just to a lego set for at least 4 hrs bc Its nice for the brain and also its JUST relaxing Thx for this video ❤
It’s so cool to finally get a representation the gallery, it’s strange that we’ve never seen it in playscale even after twenty years Oh, and the print pieces and build of the great hall is so nice
BRO I JUST BUILT THIS SET AND NOTICED YOU PLACED THE ASTRONOMY TOWER BACKWARDS THE FLAT SIDE IS SUPPOSED TO FACE THE DIRECTION OF THE GREAT HALL AND GRAND STAIRCASE! CHECK THE BOX AND INSTRUCTIONS BRO
I realize it will never happen but I’d cast all 3 unforgivable curses to see this set in minifigure scale version. I know we’ve gotten individual minifigure scale Hogwarts sets since 2018 but never a single UCS minifigure scale version of the entire castle.
Your absolutely right. I suppose “it does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.” As always, thanks for all the work you do on a consistent basis and i hope you know how much it’s appreciated(:
I forgot to mention this in the video. But this set launches on September 1st which is the exact same day that students start a new year at Hogwarts!
Ashnflash so this idea came across my mind after making the pac man set (really cool btw) but LEGO has been doing 80’s stuff targeting towards older people and I thought that a good Idea would be 80 action movie cmf series like robo cop terminator Aliens Rambo and like the classic movie cmf and you can have 2 or 3 characters from each movie please make this on LEGO ideas it would be awesome I love your vids and I would love if you did this thanks 🙏
Well I won't be able to get it Dobby locked me out of my bank aswell as the platform 9 and 3 quarters
September 1st will be great! Cant wait to get Gringotts!
I wish we got these architecture style sets in other themes as well, like Lord of the Rings. I'd kill for a Minas Tirith
microscale architecture sets of LotR would slap so hard!
Imagine if they did the entire Middle-earth map with microbuilds for the Shire, Rivendell, Moria, Murkwood, the Lonley Mountain, Lothlórien, Rohan, Isengard, Fanghorn, Gondor, and Mordor.
Coruscant would be cool
Microscale Mordor would be a day one purchase for me
What I’d love is for them to do multiple of these, like @steve152 suggested, and then you can combine them all into one big map of middle earth. Maybe, if not everything is included, they could sell an extra set which would have some extra bits to the map and maybe a legend and stuff so that in the end it will look like a completed map

I’d commit grand theft just for those 😭
@@noahaaron6451Did you mean Grand theft auto?
@@vacuumcleaner837someone's been playing too much GTA
We need more licensed architecture sets. Imagine the Jedi Temple or Minas Tirith. Even Lake-Town from The Hobbit would be cool.
Great looking set, almost perfect, I just don't get why there is no Clock Tower as the only part of the Hogwarts Castle missing, I'm sure someone can make a moc to make it complete it just would have been nice to have some exclusive print for the clock tower as well
There is a clock tower
Where exactly do you see it? The clock tower should connect by bridge from the hospital wing that is behind the great tower. As far as I can see there is nothing like that..
@@NolanGillen-v6p nope the clock tower isnt there... should have been above the potions room
I really like all the little details like the sand green crystals on this set. Hopefully this opens the door for more licensed Architecture sets in the future.
Yuppp! More licensed Architecture sets please
I have wanted the large Hogwarts castle for a long time now, but the price was way to steep for me. This one is amazing! I really like it, I probably won't get it on launch but it will be a great Christmas present!
I preordered this set a few hours ago and after watching your video, I’m 1000% confident in my purchase and SO excited for this set 🤩
Glad that I could share how awesome this set is!
Should have waited for the minecart gwp
one of the few categories I got into LEGO for was the micro scale look, and architecture for sure. A great combination. I definitely want to see more of these, licensed and non licensed alike.
Before preordering this you may want to wait for the mine GWP possibly coming in September.
Yes, that is a very good point!
Micro scale is such an underrated scale, I hope we see more sets for every theme in the scale
Imagine the potential if they do the Architecture sets for Marvel like they could do Asgard or Wakanda. Just spitballing here you know
I lost my love for Marvel lol. The marvel movies nowadays just suck. They’re just cliche superhero movies now. They ruined marvel for me because of the whole multiverse anything can happen thing.

@@PAL.Studios thank you so much! Yes I plan to purchase Gringotts bank on the 1st to get the promo. Love Harry Potter sets, I am excited!

I've been so excited to pick this up. My only criticism is the lack of Hagrid's hut.
Love that there are no stickers. I plan to get this one.
Never really into the Harry Potter theme but this will look so good next to my avengers tower and the new star wars one🤞
I would definitely add-on the clock tower/medical wing building to the back. Other than that this set is perfect and worth the money
Jedi Temple in this style would be incredible.
With a Jedi Temple Guard please 🙏
this is a dream set for me!
This is such an awesome set! Definitely on my LEGO wish list…
i'm debating if i should get it or not... i only need the battle of hogwarts to finish the big "minifig scale" hogwarts modular system. BUT this is a much fuller hogwarts but i'm not a huge fan of micro scale.
I’m not a fan of micros ale either. But this is the perfect set
This is quite an amazing display piece. It's one of the most iconic parts of Harry Potter and hopefully, they make more microscale HP sets!
Ya hopefully more for Harry Potter and other themes!
Bro Hogwarts is THE #1 most iconic part of Harry Potter
Not a HP fan but this set looks fantastic. Hogwarts and Himeji castle both are a great 1-2 punch of micro scale sets.
J'aurai tellement aimé que le set soit un petit peu plus grand, pour qu'il y est la place d'y mettre la tour de l'horloge avec sa cour et son pont (seul partie manquante du chateau) ainsi que la cabane d'Hagrid et le terrain de Quidditch ...
This is probably my favorite harry potter set EVER
I think it’s mine too
Nice video, many thanks. But i miss the section with the clock tower, so the castle isn‘t complete !? 😢
Thank you! And I hadn’t realized that until the comment section 😔
the potions classroom is in the dungeons so it makes sense but im also reminded of a scene from The Philosopher's Stone where they encounter Snape's potions/riddle task, but of course it's not intended as such
Not a Harry Potter fan, but great looking set. I may get one just for the all the great parts for MOCs.
Amazing. This is a good 50% more complete than the large scale set, but I prefer this BECAUSE it's more complete, but also smaller.
I’d argue the past 2 castles where a lot better because there was more interior details, but this is still an extremely cool set I’d say top 3 or 4 Harry Potter sets
You put the astronomy tower the wrong way around and everyone seems to feorget that the clock tower is missing. Really awesome Set though. I'm going to pick it up too

Could use Hagrid's hut as well.

Hey Ash, I noticed you’ve got the Astronomy Tower facing the wrong way
Uhhhhh that’s just the magic of the castle
I would love if you could share your opinion and compare this set to the $470 Hogwarts set. Obviously they're different in scale anr price, but maybe there's something about a specific one that makes it much better
I want to! Hopefully I can get around to making the video!
I wish they included the clock tower and courtyard as well as the wooden bridge leading to hagrids hut
How do u get so many sets early
I’m sent sets by LEGO as a part of their ambassador program. But recently I’ve been finding sets in stores earlier
I love this set, imo the best LEGO Harry Potter set ever along with Gringotts ✨
No the massive 6000+ peices version is the best one. Ive got that and its all i need. Lol
This is a good budget set. 😂
This isn’t a Harry Potter set this is an architecture set. Honestly with this set being out I feel the 2018 one will retire semi soon
The 2018 one is said to retire end of this year
@@PAL.Studios thats unlikely because its in stores since 2018
@@PAL.Studios I guess so..?
@@PAL.Studios i'm not sure if it will retire this year (tye hogwarts d2c microscale) but as it is from 2018 it would make sense to retire a 5 year old set
Just need to know something what are those dimensions ?
I've seen a couple of knock off micro scale Hogwarts Castle's which really caught my eye, but I'm glad that Lego has finally made one themself.
Could we have a Top 10 most wanted themed Architecture sets? I wanna know what you’d want
Making this video gave me that idea! Someday I hope!
what store did you find it in
I think u put the astronomy tower the wrong way round. In some movies it faces that way but in the later movies, hogwarts legacy and the instructions it faces the other way
It'd be really cool to get an architecture set of Alcatraz Island in this style.
Great time releasing this as I just got the LEGO Harry Potter Collection for the Switch and I just finished Year One (Sorcerer's (Philosopher's) Stone)
Nice! Enjoy the game!
@@Ashnflash I sure am and it's my 2nd favorite LEGO game, outside of Skywalker Saga
Not even that big of a Harry Potter fan yet this looks sweet
Where's the Clock Tower?!? Where's the old bridge?!? Why does Lego keep making full hogwarts castle sets, but it's just 70% of the castle?!?
Will you review the downtown set from Lego city
Im hoping the features in this means a ucs durmstrang ship with a smaller boatrax carriage remake and the flying car
I'm liking this set. I like the smallest micro scales rather than the medium micro scale.
A bit pricey for my likeing though. Maybe I'll sell the mini-fig if it goes for a high amount.
I kinda hate how this still isn't the whole castle, it's missing the whole back of the castle with the hospital wing, clocktower and clocktower courtyard, and the wooden bridge

Yesss! Definitely on purpose :P
And thanks!
Where’d the Clocktower go?

oh no - architecture microscale I really like, and this is way more displayable and affordable than the big bugger.
RIP wallet
@@Ashnflash it died a long time ago. Space is more worrying than cost right now
