New: Gringotts Wizarding Bank (76417)

The Overview

This month we got some crazy new sets! The clear winner being the Gringotts set (76417). This set looks absolutely amazing and seems chock-full of fun little easter eggs and references. It is a pretty massive build standing at a 30” (75 cm) tall! The great thing about this set is that you can remove the top part so that you can add it to your other Diagon Alley sets. This set has 4801 pieces and would score you 2795 insider points. This set will run you $430 USD which comes out to about $0.09 per piece which is really on the lower side of the per brick cost.

The Minifigs

This set comes with 13 minifigs including Young Harry, Hagrid, Teenager Harry, Ron (disguise), Hermione (disguise), Griphook, 4 other goblins, a death eater, and 2 guards. I love that they included multiple years within this one set with young Harry from when him and Hagrid first go to Harrys vault and then grab the Sorcers Stone. Then to add in when they return in the seventh book to get the horcrux and find the dragon.
