This is my review of LEGO 76417 Gringotts™ Wizarding Bank - Collectors' Edition, a highly sought after model fans wanted for years, though they got a little more than what they asked for...

Fucking stickers again, we must demand Lego to use prints and and to release replacement stickers for all sets based on metal instead of paper (they are most durable) without background color imitation because it always doesn't match lego parts, they should be cut out to look almost like transparent stickers but with transparent part completely cut off. Also Lego should provide printable source files on site for all sets released before so people can print them and replace stickers!!!😢😢😢

this. Again, I'll say this as many times as needed, I love the underground build the designers did brilliantly. But it's like Icons all of a sudden deciding to make an underground section to the newest modular building that have been following the same system for over 10 years. Now I understand that Gringotts isn't part of a 10+ year old system LEGO has in place, but it is supposed to be connected to the Diagon Alley set so... how are we supposed to that with the entirety of this set?!

Looking at the design this is most likely because they wanted to have the text that specific size, but the bank's name sticker would be overlapping the edge of the bricks if it was one sticker, so they separated it in half. If you do not care about that I'm assuming you can get away with placing the stickets closer together or (if they have a transparent edge) overlapping or cutting the edges.

Place Diagon and Gringotts on a shelf, preferably a corner shelf. Then display the underground on the shelf under Gringotts. You have to have a multi shelf setup but it’s possible to display these nicely. There’s multiple ways to display with Diagon Alley

I respect that you've highlighted the questionable decision to include the minecart system. Most other reviewers seem to be fine with it as the price per part is reasonable and the design is cool, but to me that is missing the point. As impressive as the design is the inclusion of the bottom half of the model is forcing those who just want a Gringotts to go with their Diagon Alley to pay twice what they otherwise would have. As a result many who might have wanted the set now won't be able to afford it or justify purchasing it. The set could easily have been split in 2 to keep everyone happy, and i suspect the only reason this was not done is because Lego know few people would choose to pay the extra for the minecart system if it was optional. If that is the case one has to wonder why they would choose to include the bottom half. It seems to me like the main reason it exists is as an underhanded way to charge people a premium to complete their Diagon Alley, which really isn't cool.

Same here, I have zero interest in Harry Potter, having read books 2, 3 and 4 on their release before becoming bored with it. But I'm a HUGE lego fan so watch reviews on HP sets too. The Gringot ts Bank think is absolutely bonkers. I wouldn't expect that from a cheap set let alone a premium set designed to go on display. Other than that, I can't believe how much detail and effort has gone into this for fans, it's a true benchmark of how a licenced set should be.

I haven't really been interested in the Harry Potter sets, but I appreciate the review. I'm curious how they'll use the stand effect in future modular sets, if at all. It's a pretty cool effect, and there's potential for it. Maybe a Wayne Manor set that has a Batcave underneath, for example. The coins also have my attention, since Mario themed ones will be included with the upcoming Piranha Plant build that comes out in November. It could be the start of a new collectable item that they pack in to various sets.

It probably would've been best if the underground area was it's own set with a feature to attach to Gringotts in the same way. This is probably too much but it would be cool to have additional underground set that would go under the rest of Diagon Alley so that you can display the full Gringotts set with it.

I guess that if these were separate, underground wouldn't be selling good enough for lego... but maybe instead of separating this into two sets, this set could actually be like that, bank with underground, and other set would be just a bank. This way if someone would want bank and underground, he would have ready set with these two, and someone who only wants bank would get just a bank. With that there wouldn't be bare underground as set.

The issue isn't that they wanted to "surprise us", it's that they have produced a set that costs double what it should have because they've bloated the size and piece count with a minecart system that many, many people have no interest in. It's fine to make as an add on, but trying to force it on the vast majority who they know just want a Gringotts to put with their Diagon Alley isn't innovative, it's a blatant cash grab.

I think if they had to include the vault and wanted it to still be modular compatible it would’ve been a better idea to put the vault behind or next to the bank instead of below to keep everything on the same level. I get not wanting to split it into separate sets because I don’t think the vault on its own would sell well enough to justify a different set entirely - but if you’re going to advertise and design it as modular, you need to be conscious of how it’s going to fit into your already released sets. Also I love the fact that the GWP matches this set, but also think it’s really dumb that you had the potential to buy a different set and still get a vault set that doesn’t really match up or make sense without the full size one

The problem is you cannot connect two sets if they are placed on a stand like this though. The designers told about how they scratched their collective heads trying to figure out how to make the building fit with other modulars, meaning using the thin baseplates with no connectors on the underside, and still be able to connect it to the underground section. The solution chosen does of course mean that while it makes it modular compatible, the stand has to extend a tiny bit outside the baseplate to "grab" the corners. I'm sure people will work out modifications to make it possible though, along with underground MOCs.

Ideally you would want a custom shelf that displays your harrypotter lego city but has one section missing which has gringotts vaults placed on the shelf below but the bank part lines up perfectly with the rest of the city. You would need to design your entire shelf system around a single set though. But I’m sure someone will do it.

As a fan of Lego harry potter sets, but not the books/movies. I really liked this set. I really like the underground part (didn't know the bank had one) and the way it was built, the open-esq way it was built was great IMO. I kinda understand people who only wanted the top/ bottom part, but I would have bought both without thinking so it didn't effect me. As a plus, as someone who made their own (easily modifiable) Lego display shelves, I can easily display the top part with the rest of the shops, cut a whole and display the underground section on the next level down.

As a standalone set or as a set that's probably more often bought alongside sets like the Hogwarts castle, I really like the addition of the underground vaults. In my head, the majority of people who own this set are probably kids playing with it and other Harry Potter themed sets as well. For collectors, an advanced way to build around it could be to add an extra shelf underneath the shelf where you're displaying it and have it fit under there. That would also open up ideas like building underground features if you're using the bank as part of a Lego city.

There's probably going to be someone who would build an entire underground section for the entirety of diagon alley.

Agree. Not buying just because I have to pay lots of extra for the part (vault) I am not going to ever put in my Lego display case... This is a sad Christmas for my Lego shelf.

That Easter egg at the top of the bank, actually is referencing an alternate cart build for the 2001 gringotts vault :]

They really should have gone the modular route with this one, much like the Sanctum Sanctorum did. If they had done that, this would have been a must buy for me.

I don’t have any diagon alley or modular sets, I have no room for the alley. So I have no complaints with the set personally

Is it possible to connect the plates together Diagon Alley: Weasley's Wizard Wheezes and Gringotts Bank?

The add on set comes with a black 2x2 tile. It’s hiding on the back right next to the connection area!

6:27 on the backside of the track of the promo there is a black 2x2 tile that you are supposed to use to connect the tracks i also think that the black hinge plate thing you remove to add the promo can be placed at the end of the tracks of the promo, maybe you have to remove some technic pins but then you have an end

If I was into city building, I’d cut the part of the table I’m placing this piece on and having an underground section with it. Basically having that kind of nice upper level lower level system

Now thinking about, it wouldn’t be out of character for Lego to make both areas separate sets. At least it came connected because it really is a cool set. Though I think they should have kept the figures that only appear in the first movie

Im surprised you didnt mention the use of stickers for windows and doors and how small the interior is inside the bank and side building. IMO prints add quality whereas stickers add more profit. Lego being a brand thought of making quality items might be trending in the wrong direction.

How about displaying the Gringotts bank with Diagon alley on one shelf, and the cave section on the shelf below it?

Would the Lego Haunted House from a few years ago fit on top of the vault? I think that would be fun and allow me to use the bank in Diagon Alley without feeling bad about not displaying the vault section.

i guess if Lego break the sets into 2- gringotts bank and undeground section, i can imagine scalpers will buy one of them in bulk and store them- once the sets are retired, they will sell the least available one with an outrageous price..

They could of approached it the same way they did Jabba's Palace/Rancor Pit. Where the two sets were sold separately but could be combined.

You just have to build a crazy underground lego city filled with mole people and stuff, make a second floor to the lego table and just cut and reinforce as needed lmao

I guess a possible solution for the display issue is to place the bank with the diagon alley set on one shelf, and the underground segment directly beneath on a separate shelf. I get the critique, but I disagree that the underground segment should have been left out, it's what makes Gringotts unique and special, it feels incomplete without it.

I actually really like the technique the used of placing the base plate on top of the tower. Is this the first time we've seen a base plate placed on top of something?

Move Daigon Alley and Gringots onto a hill of appropriate height to fit Gringots and do a cut away to show the vaults sirt if thing? Alternativeley it has to go under the table but you'd need some sort of modifications to display it. You would need lighting if some sort either way. This is a problem when bringing a magic building into non magic world.

Put the Diagon alley builds on a shelf, and the bottom set on the shelf below. Problem solved! Surround the basement with the Harry Potter Books and DVDs, and you are all set! (hurhur)

Nice of them to omit the star of David from the bank floor, distancing the set from the very problematic movie and source material...
