Over all I'm mostly happy. I'm happy with the parts, minifigs and accessories. The cardboard backgrounds and bright colors made me a bit ill. Tho I'm probablly gonna get 4721-4723 any way (and the colors are growing on me. I will definitlly get (...) (23 years ago, 28-Jun-01, to lugnet.harrypotter, lugnet.castle)
