The sticker in the top office that you didn’t understand refers to an alternate build for the original gringots set. You could transform one of the carts into a race car with a flame out the back.

[@YOBAMUSTDIE]

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!!!😢😢😢

[@cryfier]

Great that you get sponsored but youre ignoring red flags left and right. There are lots of problems with this set

[@sindersins3383]

The vault should've been handled like the rancor pit for Jabba's palace. A cool addition for those who want it but not mandatory for those who don't.

[@TiagoCatarino]

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?!

[@sheepje4288]

The solution is clearly to sell underground sections of the same height for Diagon Alley and modular buildings

GRINGOT TS BANK

[@nlald]

Grin got Ts Bank? How?

[@Gothicgarlic]

​@@TiagoCatarinowas there a reason you didn't mention it?

[@jeff4907]

That Gringot ts Bank is what's stopping me from getting this set. I know it would be the first thing I'd see every time I looked at it and it ruins it for me.

[@rossmonasweebro]

I'm kinda impressed by reviewers stubbornly refusing to acknowledge the "Gringot TS Bank" issue that is literally front and centre on the build...

[@martijnp]

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.

[@041744]

I like the X next to it like they tried that kind of cart and abandoned it because it didn't work

[@candybracelets]

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.

[@criticalpurrs9722]

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

[@San-nj8fj]

That’s what I thought too. You could also display them completely separately, they are both classic scenes from the movies and come with all the necessary figures to make them look like two completely different sets

[@renegadegameboy4946]

Tha blackboard at 9:18 is a reference to one of the alternative builds for the original Gringotts bank set from the original wave.

[@themuricandictator992]

I’ll be putting gringotts with diagon alley on the top of my kallax shelf and the vault underneath so there is at least some spatial consistency. Best solution I can think of. Great review!

[@raccoonorbust]

I'm doing exactly the same! As soon as it was announced, it's like it was designed with the Kallax unit in mind 😂

[@JRodonBricks]

I'm actually thinking about redesigning and expanding the underground to be under the full Diagon Alley - I already built a fully modular Diagon Alley.

[@AlexanderAltendorfer]

The underground part exactly matches the height of a Kallax shelf, like it was actually designed to be displayed this way. You just have to remove the four angular pieces that are clipped on to hold the base plate, then it fits perfectly.

[@andrewgwilliam4831]

I don't have any interest in Harry Potter, but I do like the look of the bank building. The way they've been able to have it stand on top of that vault "tree" without any wobbling (?) is also impressive. I don't like that sticker on the front, though, let alone for such an expensive set: "GRINGOT TS BANK"?!

[@richardwillson101]

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.

[@martijnp]

[@jardex2275]

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.

[@D4vid_95]

I think personally they should of done the vault section separately. Don't get me wrong it's an absolutely stunning set as one. But they could of kept the idea. Sold it cheaper as two separate builds. That way the buyer can choice which they desire most first.

[@lisaelisabethmariajonker2429]

[@amyjones25]

If they made the underground section as a separate set, people would be complaining too. I feel like it's perfect the way they did it together. It makes this set special. It's also one of the most interesting parts about Gringott's. Otherwise, it's just a bank.

[@DarthBear356]

Exactly, and if it was omitted completely people would instead say "it's great, BUT it's missing the vault system, it feels incomplete". The designers just couldn't please everyone here. This is to me a rare scenario where the high price point feel tough, but fair, considering the engineering and creative design.

Watching the other reviews for the set from other creators, it's clear what pushes Tiago's apart. Clear, concise, and knowledgeable. You write scripts and do research to make sure you are correct in the lore you are talking about. I watched one review for this set from another prominent KZbinr, and he had mispronounced like 5 of the names of people and objects in the first few minutes. I just had to stop watching. What I'm saying is great job, Catarino! You continue to he the best LEGO reviewer on this platform!

[@idomoshe6040]

Great review, and very valid point about not being able to purchase the bank without the underground section.

[@edgarin8907]

“Unhappy” because they didn’t just give us the gringotta build and instead they wanted to innovate and surprise us with the underground section. I’m glad the people working at lego right now are pushing the limits of their designs instead of giving us what we expected….

[@candybracelets]

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.

[@La_La_La3]

I am displaying the whole thing on a shelving system so the bottom portion is on the lower shelf. It has some gap right now but I play to build a simple base to elevate it up.

[@stealthyoctopus3231]

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.

[@randomites2212]

Best set of 2023, no set is as interesting to look at from this year. So much aesthetic appeal, so many great play features and the cavern makes it so much more in depth and accurate to the movies. So many great details and Easter eggs. Plus Ron and hermione got so much drip.

[@mikaxms]

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

[@theeternal0114]

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.

[@soothsayer1964]

I've got my Diagon Alley set atop a bookshelf, so I intend to add the bank and then put the underbelly on the shelf below. There'll be about an inch's space left over but not a big deal to my mind.

[@shadowfax3505]

Totally agree with you on the side build. I got it to display with the diagon alley set when it first came out. I've since destroyed the bottom part of parts because I didn't have any room for it and it looked bad on it's own.

[@GavinMcfadden-z2t]

The way I got around the underground was by putting gringotts and diagonal alley all on a shelf and the underground on the shelf below stacked on a couple of books to give it the correct image

[@PurpleBox89]

What an awesome set! I'm almost sorry I didn't get it just as a collector type deal, but I love the amount of detail that went into it. I agree with the display dilemma. What I saw one person do was have the bank on a shelf with their other modulars, then place the track/vaults on the shelf below. Not a perfect solution, but it looked alright.

[@DarkQueenHelba]

Looking at this makes me so happy I still have the Gringotts piggy bank from 15-20 years ago. Same basic design for the building but you could put a small picture in the door way.

[@roguesample]

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

Lego should invest in making brand name tables. Tables that are perfectly designed for showcasing lego cities. They can make it so that any 16x16 section on the table can lower or rise. So then both sections of this building could be incorporated naturally into an AMAZING lego city.

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.

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.

The Underground is Fascinating how you showed any modular fitting atop, gives idea to an entire city Underworld! Would have made such a better Wayne Manor/Batcave!!

[@koma-k]

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.

[@cheezywunder9376]

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

[@Zyrdalf]

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.

LEGO rarely does expansion sets so what else would be made into a set that wasn't featured here? I can't remember any relevant locations outside of these vaults.

[@Scarfy101]

@@TiagoCatarino i'm mainly assuming from the idea of the set being designed for expansions right off the bat and the fact lego always likes to make hints to future sets through little details similar to the invalid set number. however, it'd likely just be some other diagon alley set since it would be weird to have expansion tracks or something for a set like gringott's (although, it would be pretty cool imo).
