LEGO Officially Unveils the 5,129 Piece Hogwarts Express Collector’s Edition
It’s out on 31st August.
LEGO Harry Potter fans are about to get the most impressive set yet, when the LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Express Collector’s Edition launches on 31st August.
The LEGO Harry Potter collection is already home to some rather large, impressive sets. There’s the metre-long Diagon Alley, of course. And last year’s Hogwarts Icons Collector’s Edition. Not to mention the huge Hogwart’s Castle set. But there’s now a set to rival them all.
LEGO Harry Potter 76405 Hogwarts Express Collector’s Edition isn’t the biggest Harry Potter set in terms of pieces – that accolade still belongs to Hogwarts Castle. But it is the longest set, measuring 118cm long. And at 5,129 pieces, it’s hardly a slouch.
The set features the steam engine, the coal car, a passenger car and Platform 9 3/4. There’s a track display base for the train to sit on, too. The passenger car has light-up bricks, and the the train’s wheels can be activated with a turning lever.
