There are lots of interesting details tucked into this area, but unfortunately because of the way it attaches to the house, they are almost impossible to see, much less used for play. The big feature we build in Bag 9 is the chimney, complete with bright pink smokey flames which move! As the wheel spins, it pulls a series of technic axels which are contained within the chimney structure, up and down.

Most of all, this would have made it a lot more accessible for play. There are some nice details in this sub-assembly, but they are hidden once you attach it to the rest of the house. Bag 13 adds Allison Watts’ minifigure, complete with a small container of salt, another delightful Easter egg.

My wife is a fan of the movie, I am a fan of the build, and it can easily be pitched as a family Halloween activity, so this looks like an "eventual buy" for sure. Way out of my price range for a movie that's not super important to me, but more Halloween sets please! Very detailed build and I suppose the fans will be happy with it but I never cared for that movie so that's gonna be a pass for me. Now that I know the minifigures are right, this set is absolutely on my list...but dang, that's pricey. Maybe I'll just see how much of a discount Bricklink will offer for the witches alone. It includes fun details like the chair that both Dani and Emily are held in, an hourglass, candle, and detailed fireplace, all of which are virtually impossible to see once the model is complete.

Assessing value often depends on your emotional attachement to the content. In the case of this set, you might have a tremendous fondless for the film or even for Halloween in general, making this set extremely appealing. Thankfully, we do have some objective measurements to use, but they do not look favorably upon this set.

Next there is a page that shows which bags build which parts of the set. I thought this was a nice inclusion and it helps visualize how the build will progress. For LEGO fans who want a more complete build, you’ll be pleased to know the house doesn’t have a dollhouse design and is fully enclosed. While it looks simple, I do really like the design and details, and with so many witchy details, it makes for a great Halloween build, for LEGO fans that might not have a strong connection to Hocus Pocus.

In Bag 7, we build a small alcove on the left side of the second floor. This comes together easily and adds some visual interest to the outside moreso than to the inside. We do get to add a cute little skeleton on the inside so that’s fun. We also add some details to the upstairs like a spinning wheel, some wall panels with stickers of hanging herbs, a bookshelf, brooms, a large bed that the sisters presumably share, and my favorite, Mary Sanderson’s flying vacuum. We don’t really see the upstairs in the movie, so clearly some creative license has been taken here, but the additions are fun and are a way to add some more Easter eggs to the set. 300 years ago, in 1693, in Salem, Massachusetts, the Sanderson sisters were hanged by the population of Salem after a boy named Thackery Binx tried to stop the witches and was turned into an immortal black cat while saving his sister Emily.

It's been more than 30 astonishing years since the original Hocus Pocus film premiered, and last year saw the much-anticipated sequel Hocus Pocus 2, expanding the story of these iconic characters. Fans can now build and display their own piece of Hocus Pocus history. Designed by 26-year old, Belgian LEGO fan and Hocus Pocus fan, Amber Veyt, via the LEGO Ideas platform, the original design attracted 10,000 votes and was then selected to be made into a real LEGO set. We finally build the last wall of the house Bag 8, so the bottom left chuck of wall will stop falling off when you bump it by accident. This wall is divided into two sections that hinge open to reveal the interior of the house.
The price is a bit rich for me at $350, especially when the similarly sized blacksmith released for just $250 a few years ago, but I'll definitely keep my eye open to see if this gets a nice discount. ” The Sanderson Sisters are back, this time as mini-figs, and are ready to bring us to the land of enchantment! The newest LEGO Ideas set is is focused on the 1993 movie of the same name and features the house where the sisters reside.

But it's also okay to dislike them for any given (or hidden) reason, my guy. You can't tell people what to like - well, you can, but it's not going to work. Screaming "YOU MUST! YOU MUST LIKE STICKERS EXACTLY AS MUCH AS I LIKE THEM, OR YOU WILL BE ILL-SPOKEN OF IN THE VILLAGE!" maaaaybe isn't the best look for everyone? I leave my models naked and unstickered, if only so I can tell myself the filthy, wicked lie that I might someday want to reuse the parts that would otherwise go bestickered (though I won't).
As a result, the trio are forced to try and stop the witches from consuming the souls of children before the sun rises the next morning, or else their entire town will be doomed. Build one of the most recognizable icons from the Star Wars universe with this 6785-piece set. This set also includes a bunch of minifigures to set the scene. It gets released in July, which is a slightly weird time to get it, but come Halloween, I can see this set being incredibly popular especially in the US where Halloween and Hocus Pocus is considered a cult-classic and important October tradition. As a model, it’s an aesthetically-pleasing model and strikes the right balance between being big enough to display and interact with, but at the same time, isn’t too impractically large and/or expensive. The design will also appeal to those wanting more medieval/old-style buildings, and the build has many interesting and fun techniques to keep you engaged throughout.
For those who think this movie doesn't have a following I'm sorry to tell you that there are a lot of rabid Hocus Pocus fans around the world as evidenced by this set being designed by someone from Belgium so it's not just a US thing. Personally I really like this build just just the same as I really like the Home Alone House for the build rather than the movie it's based on. I doubt it but I will get it eventually for my Medieval Village because it will definitely fit in. Don't know the source material, but the house looks nice.Not 230 Euro nice though for me.Therefor it's a pass.Plus, anyone remember when a distinguishing feature of Ideas sets was prints only? This set is definitely designed with the Hocus Pocus fan in mind.
Take a look at the beast we call the 7541-piece Millennium Falcon LEGO Set. Take this video tour of what the final design of the Sanderson Sisters cottage could look like. We’re guessing the kit will come out close to the release of Hocus Pocus 2 on September 22, but LEGO hasn’t announced the release date. And now, here we are with a Lego Hocus Pocus house set, that is definitely, absolutely, 100 percent not haunted.
The torsos printing also looks spectacular and fans of the cult-classic staple Halloween movie will no doubt be really happy with the minifigure lineup. The minifigures are hands-down one of the big draws of the set, and I am really impressed by the 2 new hair moulds for Winifred Sanderson and Mary Sanderson, as well as Dani Dennison’s excellent witches hat with hair fused into it. The evil twin of the blacksmith set.It'll make a nice Halloween set once it's $40 less. I'm really pleased with this and although it may not be a day 1 purchase for me personally given the relatively high price it will definitely be bought before the end of the year, hopefully with a good GWP or points offer. Like others have already commented it's a shame that Billy Butcherson has been omitted with only an homage with the gravestone. The Sanderson sisters and the set overall look awesome though.
From the black-flame candle, to Mary’s vacuum, the details are the star of the show. While the roof and exterior of the home are also beautiful, they actually overtake the model, creating a very closed off feeling. This model doesn’t lend its self to either play or display well since many of the elements are both fragile and inaccessible. Of course, you can still stroll the streets and pose for pictures outside.
