There’s something about new Madam Maxine that looks uncanny to me. Her ridiculously long arms and short torso reminds me of Salvador Dali’s elephants.

[@CheeseyStudios]

Yeah, the proportions get pretty wonky lol xD

[@TheFirstCurse1]

For me it's the legs that make her look weird. I wish she had that dress piece again.

[@RipOffProductionsLLC]

I feel like the new longer armed torso being put on the old 2x2x3 slope "dress" works best, since you can then pretend her hips are wherever you think they should be.

"If you're looking for a drier experience, the new model might not be such a bad pick" is exactly the kind of wit that modern journalism needs

Literally saw the first half a second and thought "wow that ship looks infinitely better" I feel like the play for Madame Maxime would be the dress piece with the longer arms. But alas, I am but a simple peasant

[@TheFirstCurse1]

I agree. She looks weird with the legs.

[@CheeseyStudios]

I'd probably swap out the legs too. I'm guessing the old and new prints will still work together pretty nicely

[@dsunblade]

I honestly didn’t expect them to make this set for a while longer.

Right? I think we had all given up hope lol! Really glad to see it though - it's gotta be my favorite of this wave.

[@smugaladdin8372]

As a kid I pored over the 'building the magical world' book (with the yule ball minifg), and the older sets just had something truly magical about them. This channel sums it up pretty well, but the vibrant colours, metalic plastics, secrets galore, and genuinely mystical feeling that each set had was conveyed even in the book (I'm too young to have bought any of the early 2000s sets). Seeing those sets in these videos always gives me a nostalgic feeling, because in my mind as a kid, those sets really were so mysterious and cool. I wanted all of them so badly.

[@CheeseyStudios]

Rebuilding them for this channel too has consistently brought me great joy. The new sets obviously have their appeal, but the classics will forever have my heart.

[@Malt0d3xtr1n]

Since I've only ever built and played with Lego exclusively while in my bathtub (a secret I kept well hidden until today), I suppose I have little choice but to fork over the $200 for the 2005 model.

It at least will last a few more seconds before capsizing, and that's worth an extra $60 any day

This whole wave is so confusing. Very solid designs but the fact that they did not parted the sets (like this should have been 2 sets but ship should have been even better) its such "new" lego way. Same with Troll set being pushed in biggest set while people would buy more sets if troll was in 40dollar set. Im really dissapointed of lack of Playfeatures and space.

[@CheeseyStudios]

I definitely get what you mean. I really am not a fan of the Great Hall especially having a lot of unnecessary extra sets in it - really drives up the price.

@2:48 My guess is the 2019 Carriage expanding feature was aimed to suggest an expandable charm applied to it much like the tent in the Quidditch World Cup.

[@CappnRob]

The new Durmstrang ship makes a fantastic baseline for Pirate MOCs to convert into Carracks/Caravel type ships which were small narrow predecessors to the galleon with extremely high fore and aft sections like we see here. I might be picking up a few over the next year or so just for that… I can already tell this one’s going to be a real expensive one secondhand after it retires.

[@CheeseyStudios]

This will certainly be popular with HP and non-HP fans alike. It's been turning a lot of heads!

[@CheeseyStudios]

No complaints on the carriages! They both ended up great for sure

[@kalanilugosi393]

Weird fact about the Madame Maxime mini figure is that in the two sets she appeared in that year, the beauxbaton’s carriage and the hogwarts clock tower, both sets gave her different colored hair, with the Clock tower including the same dark brown hair as the new minifigure

[@kalanilugosi393]

Also what makes it even weirder it that both have “different” face prints where the only difference is that the eyebrows are the correct color to the hair.

[@CheeseyStudios]

I didn't realize they went as far to change that older face print too lol! That's crazy

[@Matt..S]

A new naval sub theme for Lego would be pretty cool. Sort of like City, but set before the 1900s so we can get different sized sail ships, steam ships, wooden harbours, some islands to explore instead of the typical underwater or pirate themes. Ships of the world, similar to the Star Wars starship collection, with chinese junks, treasure ships, spanish galleons, carracks, etc

[@CheeseyStudios]

I'm surprised we haven't got more 18+ ship models. I do feel something like that would be insanely popular! There's so much untapped ship potential

[@Matt..S]

@@CheeseyStudios Few weeks ago I had to make a birthday present for someone and decided to do a "message in a bottle" and thought about adding a ship inside and if it would be possible to build it out of Lego...inside. Not like the ideas set though, where you build the bottle around it, but actually building the ship with tweezers and such inside the bottle. Now that would be a cool 18+ display set

[@incandescent-light8257]

Madame Maxime... you've shrunk! I actually think the new carriage looks really nice. Not so insultingly plain like some other remakes. I'm actually glad the new ship is smaller than the old one, as someone who doesn't have much space. It's so eye-catching & detailed. Igor Karkaroff looks like a metalhead with the hair & face, just needs Tony Stark's band shirt & a guitar 😂. Krum & Barty look great, as well. Thanks so much for the review! ❤

[@CheeseyStudios]

No problem! Glad you enjoyed. The size is pretty perfect for a display piece - you can fit that on quite the narrow shelf, or have stuff behind it too!

[@TTHBLOX_]

My brother is transgender but he feels the same way as I do. He thinks there's no point in trying to avoid buying stuff you like just because the creator is a jerk. Go buy the sets, play Hogwarts Legacy, watch the movies, etc. It's your franchise, not her's.

After building the older 2000-era HP sets, I finally see it all in a different perspective. 2000's sets brought play-ability. As lego has progressed HP, they have approached accuracy in look and layout. I hope the day comes where I see these 2 concepts joined together more often. Edit: I'm saying a lot of words. LEGO make some cool play features like you use to! It doesnt take more bricks to do it. Just clever thinking.

*I ♥ The ship!* I'm not a HP¹ fan. However I see this ship would do well with my lion knights! It looks so much like a medieval cog. With a couple of modifications it would be perfect! _____ ¹ not Hewlet Packard...

[@CheeseyStudios]

I'm also not a Hewlett Packard fan. Had a printer from them at one point and it was the most unreliable piece of tech I've ever had... Oh wait just read the footnote

I only want the new ship for a display set so im so happy with the design. Cant wait to get my hands on those new minifigures 😍

[@CheeseyStudios]

The figures are a DELIGHT

[@darthprime4916]

I’m getting this bc it just looks like a great ship. And will go Nice with my fleet!!

[@CheeseyStudios]

It's a beauty, isn't it? Man, I wish we got more LEGO ships!

[@darthprime4916]

Absolutely on both!!!

[@TonyMontanaDS]

I'm buying this ship just for parts. The sails will be great for a medieval ship.

[@CheeseyStudios]

Definitely! I sure hope LEGO makes more ships in the future.

[@Enduno1]

This new sets are nice and Clean :[]

[@CheeseyStudios]

The designers do incredible work, that's for sure!

[@darthprime4916]

It reminds me of one of my white whale sets I would love to own… the SeaCow.

[@CheeseyStudios]

Ah, that set looks like so much fun!

[@CT--qf6om]

I’m not a harry potter fan but I think I need that ship.

[@CheeseyStudios]

It's a beauty, isn't it?

[@nomen440]

Thank you for this wonderful video. The old ship is wonderful! The new one ... just a huge disappointment.

[@CheeseyStudios]

They could hardly be more different lol!

[@Osea2004]

Did he ever say how much the new set cost ?

[@CheeseyStudios]

It's $140 in the US, and it should be up on LEGO.com if you want to check your local price

[@Osea2004]

@@CheeseyStudios ohh thank you I like the sail on it I would look great for a custom red falcon ship

[@zeroworldcraft]
