LEGO Harry Potter Gringotts Wizarding Bank REVIEW | Set 76417

[@haggisdaddy]

For the price, the " GRINGOT TS" sticker is unforgivable. How did that get passed any kind of quality control.

[@kentslocum]

LEGO Quality Control was like: "It's perfect...too perfect. We gotta give fans something to tinker with!" 😂

I'm just hoping to see a similar design soon for Jabba's Palace and the Rancor pit, because this set looks phenomenal.

[@felicitys3621]

THAT WOULD BE BADASS! My ideal Jabba's Palace set would be an MBS set with Jabba's throne room on top of the Rancor pit, including all the characters from scene (Luke, Boush, Han, Jabba, SBC, Oola, Boba Fett, Bib Fortuna, the Gamorean Guards, C3PO, R2-D2,), the droid torture room, and the Carbonite room!

[@sassquatch212]

I still maintain that sets over the 200ish mark should have no stickers. Especially when they’re 18+ collectors sets. They’re often a deal breaker for me. There’s just no excuse for stickers in such expensive sets.

[@eldritchpalmerable]

I like other themes more than Harry Potter, but this set is really unique. David made an excellent review, I am just going to add one thing I find very appealing. It is very difficult to capture weird angles with Lego, most sets are all straight lines and right angles. This set really elevates Lego to a different level with the quirkiness of the angles and the overall architecture, and the uniquely appealing diorama design. This set tells a story just by looking at it! I am seriously thinking buying it even though i may not have to buy another Lego for many months afterwards 😅

[@clintgolub1751]

Yeah, I also think this set in particular is one of their most unique of all time and will be *highly* sought after shortly after discontinuation.

[@graemeesmith]

Really love the vertical stackable design of all this! It just works so well in so many ways. You can display the "basement" and building, display it separately, display it with the rest of Diagon Alley. Incredible.

[@MrHangman56]

the fact that they don't put only printed pieces, despite it not really being that difficult for lego, in these extremely expensive collector edition sets is disappointing and somewhat cheap of lego considering their self proclemation that they're a premium product, but other cheaper brick products have way more printed pieces in even their cheap sets

[@ABrickinTime]

Is there a way to either cut the sticker or put them closer together for the Gringo “ts” bank to be not as awkward?

[@MianneH]

I don't understand why lego makes a mistake like this in an expensive set like this one. The set is great but this ruins it...

[@christopherwilliams5808]

Yea. Whoever approved that as a sticker needs to be fired imo. Should have been printed 1000 %

Maybe put the letters as close to the edge as possible and fold the rest of the sticker over, thats my plan for it anyway, or cut the rest off

Marvel, DC, and Star Wars are all asking Lego "Which one of us is your favorite theme?" Lego: "Oh, I love you all equally." After those three leave, Lego leans in to Harry Potter and whispers: "It's you, and by *a lot*."

[@christopherwilliams5808]

Nice. I'll probably get it with some points to knock down that price. Only thing I hate Is what you somehow didn't mention. That terrible "Gringotts" sticker. That should have been a printed piece. I hope someone makes a custom printed piece of that. I'd buy it.

[@cowsonzambonis6]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m so disappointed with this set! I just wanted Gringotts to go with Diagon- this is WAY too expensive to buy and then not use half the set! After all the waiting, I will not be buying this.

[@leg0liver194]

The underside section (vault) should have been truly optional. Why not just offer a 2-in-1-Box (like Supersets before), or a simple hook-and-loop tape?

[@uchihajoel3064]

Only reason I’m not buying it is because I have nowhere to put the bottom half. And I can’t bring myself to essentially pay $200 for legos that I will not even use. Basically throwing away $200

My intention is to have this piece with the Diagonne Alley but I intend to raise the alley to the level of Gringotts and leave the subterranean part as attached and place in the centre of the 4 feet wide table with the School and other pieces running along the front. Separated by height I think this will differentiate the 2 parts of the Harry Potter range

[@ethangrimborne8427]

YYEEEEESSS!! I have been wanting to see a review for this set for SO LONG! This is the one few hundred dollar Lego set that I think I will get as a centerpiece to my very modest Lego Harry Potter collection. It's a very important location I don't have that's scaled to minifigures, has amazing functionality, looks breath-taking, and contains lots of exclusive pieces and desirable figures. Best Harry Potter set by far! Finally, a huge 18+ Lego set that isn't just big for the sake of being big, but big for the functionality! I mean, it comes with a dragon! How cool is that?!

[@kentslocum]

I'm glad that the cracked columns are printed, but the front sign should have been printed to fix the spacing of the letters.

[@jannovak6987]

Damn, this and the Rivendell are absolute treats. I wish I had money for either of them

[@Ben-tw9zu]

First of all i really think the Set looks awesome. Second i have to say that i do not understand a 50+ Sticker sheet in a 430$ Set. The gap in the Gringotts Bank lettering freaks me out and i really think this could be solved in a better way. In my opinion Lego needs to print at least in the 200$+ Sets otherwise i think they do not appreciate their Fans enough.

[@Nightwing881]

The picture on the second floor of the bank looks like one original goblins from the original Gringotts set!

[@TheDudeWhoCommented]

I like that detail! I'm surprised David didn't mention that.

[@yeomanbasket]

I’m very confused as to why the Gringotts sign, which should be prioritized as it’s literally the name of the building and set, uses two stickers which ruin the front of the set. Despite this, inside the bank there are printed pieces which Lego would normally just use stickers for. Very strange and honestly disappointing.

[@jaywilliams1289]

Personally I think Lego should have just made a huge Gringotts bank with more teller booths and more detail because if you take off the Gringotts to display with the Diagon alley set ( which I think most people would want to do) then what do you do with the lower half? It looks pretty lame just having it sit by itself without the bank on top. Huge missed opportunity on Lego's part to make a BIG UCS style Gringotts with full interior and detail.

[@ReubenVictoor]

hmmm, I am not sure if I agree. This was meant to go with the Diagon Alley set, the scale feels like it's matching all the other buildings. You're right that the lower half is a bit lost at that point though.

[@jaywilliams1289]

@@ReubenVictoor Actually, Gringott's is supposed to be much larger and wider than the rest of the buildings on Diagon Alley. Watch the movie and look at the photos. So, it's not on scale with the other buildings. The lower half is completely unnecessary!

[@cowsonzambonis6]

YES!!!!!!! The lack of detail inside Gringotts is so sad! I was expecting a really amazing Gringotts build, not a boring Gringotts and a bunch of useless track. The Gringotts sticker, the boring chandelier, the way you can see the e terror brick pattern from the inside, and how the bank doesn’t feel grand at all- such a lost opportunity!

[@Almarillion]

I am building an elevated wood platform with a hole for the lower section. So, all my alley + gringotts will be at the same level while vaults part still attached.

[@danielprice5822]

If only we got a Jedi Temple to this level of detail!

[@TheFirstCurse1]

I agree. It's more affordable, and gets the point across that it's a collector's item.

Rivendell for the price point is far superior!

[@vincentperon2950]

If I had unlimited ressources, I believe I still wouldn't look at this as the top item for the UCS HP. I count 5 sets as being a part of the line so far, and here is my ranking - microscale Hogwarts - Edwig and other icons - the Hogwart's express - Gringotts - Diagon Alley The five of them are really decent, and the last on my personnal tierlist is still something I had at least considered buying once. The reason why I put the last two where they are is because they need each other to complete the look. I can see gringotts packing a lot more stuff than diagon alley on it's own, but if you purchase them together, you can't really do anything with the cave parts because you need the building to stand next to each other, so a good half of the set is hard to expose. The express is iconic, but a bit complicated to display, and the competition is stronger. Edwig is absolutely amazing, has a lot of presence and is cheap compared to the others The castle is the most recognizable feature of the eight movies, and the set packs a lot of references picked in the whole saga. It works on his own, and is also the only one at this particular scale. The build process is a bit tedious though, mostly because of the stickers. I don't have enough space and money to buy them all, so I'll gladly stay with the two I already own, being my top two on this list.

I have all the modular buildings since the first one Corner Cafe, have all the holiday sets, 90% of the Idea's set, some of the Star Wars, most of the Creator Expert sets (including before they called them Expert, just called them Creator). This set was so unique, I had to have it. Never have I seen any building techniques like this one, it looks like it is floating. I like the Harry Potter franchise, but none of the sets up until this one made me say, yes. The train came close, but the $500 price tag for what really seemed to be the Emerald Express now in red that sold for I think $180, that seemed like more inflation than I was willing to pay.
