Lego Harry Potter 4736 - Freeing Dobby

I finally gave in and got my very first Harry Potter-themed Lego set, Freeing Dobby.

Box Art and Pieces:

 Pieces for the 3 mini-figures, and that of the book are not shown on the above photo.


Mini-Figures:

Lego 4736 - Harry Potter and Lucius Malfoy

The Harry Potter mini-figure is super cool. In particular, I like the gray torso with impressive detailed prints on both sides, and the two-sided head: one smiling and one serious look. Of course, I prefer the smiling face. I also noticed that the scar is more noticeable on the serious face.

 Here we can Lucius' long blonde hair, and part of Harry's serious-face print peeking out.

Lego 4736 - Spider! An unexpected visitor.

The Corridor:

Lego 4736 - Dobby's Shrine

I assume that this structure is a corridor leading to the castle. Notice the two arches suggest depth. But for me this is just a shrine for Dobby.

Here's a shot of the backside. I removed the poking mechanism since I will not be using it.
Harry has a rather huge book, maybe an encyclopedia of magic.

Conclusion: I first of all, I really like the Harry Potter mini-figure. Dobby would have been great if his eyes are not like always looking up, though I understand he's smaller that the other mini-figures. The book and the spider are nice addition to this set. The structure is not bad at all though it could have been made better. I still don't get the two pearl-gold studs.

Rating: 7/10
Note: I got this set for C$10 instead of the regular price C$15. 


Extra Shot:

After being freed, Dobby got arrested again.

LEGO 8014 - Clone Walker Battle Pack

I was thinking of buying the Lego set 7913 but decide to wait until it will go on sale, MSRP is like $15. Then I saw this Lego set 8014, from Chapter/Indigo's online store for $13. I got a $5-off coupon so I ordered it together with the Camper (7639). It's free shipping for orders above $25. 

Here are the photos of the box.

Inside there are 3 packets and the build instruction. Here are the pieces.

Inventory of Pieces

The smaller guns are a little bit hard to place on the minifigs hands. I literally hate the black pieces on the lower right of the above photo. The body armor is assymetric, and I still yet to figure out the use of those 4 smallest black pieces.

Lego 8014 - Minifigures

I like the minifigures although not crazy about them. The head pieces are easily removed. Plus points for the body prints and hand weapons.

Lego 8014 - Clone Walker

Here you could see the walker, and the extra pieces. I like that there are some colors. The pentagon pieces at the front where the 2x2 circles are attached are a bit loose, I'm not sure what the looseness is for.

Here's the set without the 2 stickers on the 2x2 circles.

Conclusion: Nice set actually. I like almost all aspects of it.
