Hi all, I was having some fun rebuilding some 2018 sets and saw the photograph in the back of the manual that showed the first three sets together! So I thought it would be fun to see what play I could get out of it (photography is a great excuse for play!). It’s actually really cool! I love the playability, I feel like they gave just enough of the characters to get you going.

I think next stop will be to dig out the next wave and see what happens, I have this idea of creating a Hogwarts from the 2018 sets by just incorporating each next set that comes after it. so for example, they eventually moved onto the chamber of secrets which was a new style. Perhaps that could morph into part of this castle … in ‘2018 style’ so to speak.

My personal nostalgia is strongest with these sets as I came out of my Lego dark ages with the 2018 sets.

Hi all, I thought I’d show my Ministry of Magic MOC inspired by ibricky on rebrickable. I just wanted to see what could be done to make it look more compact prior to release of the new edition which will likely be too large for my shelf.

It still needs some work but it can be easily moved on my shelves now without falling apart.

Im just curious as to what people are doing with their older sets? I tend to bag them separately for future rebuilding but now the new system is so detailed I’m questioning if I might just pull them apart for pieces. I did do that before with other sets and found it hard to not have them together. One idea was to part it out but use the pieces to make a one off castle but in the style of the medieval castles from Lego’s past?
