In this episode, I’m diving wand-first into one of the most jaw-dropping, wallet-draining, and downright magical LEGO sets ever created in the Harry Potter theme. We're talking epic scale, insane detail, and enough wizardry to make even Professor Dumbledore do a double-take. From Harry and his crew sneaking into Gringotts to uncover vault 713, to finding Helga Hufflepuff’s goblet, and yes—even a towering Ukrainian Ironbelly dragon—it’s like a Hogwarts field trip in a box!
This masterpiece also comes with 13 incredible minifigures—11 of which are exclusive to this set. That’s right, folks, no duplicates here to Accio your excitement! Whether you're a die-hard Potterhead or just a fan of mind-blowing LEGO engineering, this set truly has something for everyone.
But hold onto your Galleons because we’ve got to talk about the price tag. At $430, is this set worth every Sickel and Knut? Or will you find yourself casting Evanesco on your credit card bill in regret? Stick around until the end to hear my final thoughts, and let’s see if this massive magical build lives up to the hype—or if it’s a no-go to the streets of Diagon Alley. We’ll see! Thanks for listening!

In this episode, we dive deep into the fascinating world of LEGO with a detailed look at set #910003, the Mountain Windmill. This set was part of the LEGO Bricklink Designer Program, a unique crowd-funded initiative that took place in 2021. Among the many sets that were up for funding in November and December of that year, the Mountain Windmill was one of the lucky few that made the cut. Although it didn’t quite reach the cap of 10,000 units, with only around 9,000 sets produced, this limited-edition build still managed to captivate fans with its charm and mystique.
Priced at $180, the Mountain Windmill comes with a captivating backstory: perched high in the Boratis Mountains, it stands between the tallest peaks, shrouded in mystery. No one knows how it got there, what its purpose is, or who—if anyone—lived within its walls. Nature has slowly taken over this derelict structure, adding to its sense of intrigue and adventure.
Join me as I explore the details of this incredible set and uncover what makes it such a standout creation. Thanks for tuning in and joining me on this Full Review Friday!
