I had a mysterious package turn up yesterday from LEGO. It was a little small to be a Gringottss Bank, but it was close – 40598 Gringotts Vault. This GWP set is currently available for people spending over $215 on Harry Potter sets.
The set is listed as being worth $34.99 and with current LEGO pricing that actually seems reasonable for what you get. It’s only 212 pieces but the inclusion of some larger elements makes this feel substantial.
While the set is designed to be an addition to the much larger bank set, LEGO have cleverly made it function as a money box to ensure that it has value as a standalone.
The set includes a single unnamed goblin minifigure. He’s a creepy looking dude but seems accurate to the on-screen appearance of the film goblins.
If you are on the fence about getting some Harry Potter sets this month, this is certainly not going to dissuade you.
More details of the offer can be found here.
Thanks to LEGO for sending me a copy of this set.
