The five finalist projects of the fourth wave (Series 4) of the reboot of Bricklink Designer Program, were selected from more than 230 proposals in the running following the vote launched last February.

As with each wave, you will have to show a lot of patience if some of these products interest you: the pre-order phase for these five products will not begin before February 2025 and the sets which collect at least 3000 pre-orders will be produced. in 30.000 copies and will be available in July 2025. No reissue planned, two sets maximum per household and per reference.

In the meantime, the creators of these different projects will have plenty of time to rework them to make them comply with LEGO requirements, Bricklink indicating that this adaptation phase will last between April 1, 2024 and January 1, 2025.

Today we are quickly interested in the contents of the LEGO Harry Potter set 76430 Hogwarts Castle Owlery, a small box of 364 pieces available since March 1 at the public price of €44.99. The price of the product seems frankly exaggerated given the limited inventory delivered in this box, it remains to be verified whether the subject has been correctly covered to try to determine whether this set can become a must-have in the range or whether it will remain on the shelf. essential products even for the most dedicated fans.

It must be admitted, the Hogwarts aviary is not a chestnut tree in the LEGO Harry Potter range and even less so in the form of an independent building. It has already been seen attached to other walls of the wizarding school in the past but this is the first time that LEGO has dealt with the thing in isolation, as in the films of the saga. The result is necessarily a little surprising, the large tower here becoming a simple playset for children, both not very architecturally inspired but sufficiently accessible.

The model proposed here, however, seems to promise yet another modular Hogwarts playset and we therefore assemble the large tower installed on its rocky peak while waiting for something better. Everything here is symbolic and summarized to its simplest expression, we should not expect an ultra-detailed construction of the premises even if the whole still peaks at 37 cm high.

The assembly does not hold any surprises and does not require any particular talent. We stack, we pile up and in a few minutes the trick is done. For the required budget, you're bound to be a little disappointed, even if the packaging doesn't promise anything more than what it contains.

The rock is minimalist and the half-tower itself obviously does not offer all the numerous niches that accommodate the birds seen on the screen. We will have to make do with this very simplistic interpretation of the place and be satisfied with the few winks proving that the designer and the graphic artist responsible for designing this product have done their homework.

We will note, for example, the presence of a box of owl food from the brand Eeylops Owl Emporium nicely pad printed or the possibility of rotating the base of the aviary basement. There are no stickers in this box, which is a notable detail.

Nothing crazy at the end, there's not really any fun in "replaying" the scenes that take place on site and we'll have to wait to see if this model really finds its place in a more substantial playset for judge its relevance, knowing that it is a building that is isolated from the rest of Hogwarts.

As for minifigs, collectors get here new versions of Harry Potter and Cho Chang, but they will have to make do with the version of Argus Filch already seen in the LEGO Harry Potter set 76402 Hogwarts: Dumbledore's Office sold for €89.99, minus the character's pad-printed legs. It's thin, but it's still a good deal.

This set is also a good provider of owls, with a rather interesting selection. From there to spending 45 € in this box however, you will undoubtedly have to think a little before giving in.

We also obtain one of the 14 collectible portraits, installed for the occasion under the roof of the aviary, this is always a lpus for the most complete collectors with the possibility of possibly subsequently carrying out exchanges between fans to bring together all the existing portraits.

So there is nothing here to talk about for hours, the contents of this box, a little too expensive for my taste, will not revolutionize the genre or the Harry Potter range. Those who have been impatiently waiting for the aviary in the form of an independent construction finally have one on hand, the others can wait to see what the range has in store for us in June before getting started.

End of the tease around the official set from the LEGO Ideas range based on the winning creation of the competition organized by the manufacturer and W on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the license Dungeons & Dragons, this box, undoubtedly eagerly awaited by fans, will be officially revealed on March 19. This is confirmed by the page dedicated to this product on the official online store which displays a countdown for the occasion.

We also know that the chest seen in the short teaser below will be an additional product undoubtedly available in the form of a promotional set offered for the acquisition of the set bearing the reference 21348 Red Dragons Tale according to current speculation. The latest rumors suggest the presence of six minifigs in the box, two more than the four silhouettes visible in the visual above. To be verified during the official product announcement.
