Recommendation: no 6.8 / 10 by Clone OPatra

I guess given its time and everything, this set doesn't fair too badly. A kid should be able to play with it, and a parent can say 'wow, that's nice a big (if horribly ugly) Castle, sweetie-pie.' It's a little bit more dull than s spaceship that you can swoosh around, but it's a solid playset and a job well enough done as the first ever Hogwarts Castle. At the same time, I wouldn't look to buy this now if you don't already own it. There's just nothing great enough about it to actually want it. For probably less money, buy the new one instead.
