This was my son's favorite set. The door is on a hinge, which allows you to open the first 2 levels. Ernie prang's seat opens up, allowing even more accessibility. The third decker can be accessed by lifting up the door. All the miniatures are just like in the movie.
I just love this set, out of the many new Harry Potter sets released, this one is fantastic with a sliding bed, shifting chandelier, and removable roofs, and opening side, for a great play experience all around.
As a experienced builder, I was pleasantly surprised that the build is a more exciting than it looks (I was worried the build would be 90% windows). Attention to detail is excellent and the final product looks incredibly like the one in the movies (seriously, pull up some pictures and compare the two). The techniques aren’t super fancy, but there are some angled windows and the front section of the bus is attached using bricks with studs on the sides. The curves along the top of the roof look nice without any major gaps. Details are all stickers, not printed parts, but that’s to be expected in a smaller set. The minifigures are all fairly detailed and look accurate to their appearances in the movies. The bus also comes with plenty of play features for younger fans, including a swinging chandelier, removable roof, bed that slides back and forth and can fit a minifigure, and a wall that swings open to allow interior access. The only way I think the set could be improved would be the inclusion of Sirius Black as his dog animagus. Overall, I’d say that this set would be a great choice for both younger fans that will be playing with it and adult collectors that want it to look nice. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a quality Harry Potter set that isn’t too expensive.
This was my first lego set and it was very fun to build. As it was my first lego set I needed some help from my older brother who has been doing legos for much longer then me. I would totally recommend this for any HP fan!
Bought this for my little one (8 years old). She's never had Lego before but is a Harry Potter fan. She had fun with helping me build it for the first half hour then left it to me for the remainder and enjoyed the completed bus. Short attention span I guess. But either way, I enjoyed it.
My wife got this for me for Christmas. Wasn't sure if I would take to it due to a disability. Well, I got hooked. Had a great time putting this build together, couldn't stop once I started. Despite the disability I could do it! I ready to do more ... let me at it!
