(URL) site is collectible toy focused rather than LEGO focused... so their emphasis is on play value and the number of figures (...)

(...) I think the biggest complaint that people will have about these is that there are no sand-green skeleton legs. You get the skeleton torso and arms, and a sand-green head (or you can use Frankie's, if you want eyes), but no sand-green skeleton (...)

My impression is that the 2004 sets have improved architecture: between Harry Potter and Spider-man there are much better looking, less juniorized buildings this year. At least, there is more ornament. There's the laid-on plate roof of the castle, (...) (21 years ago, 16-Apr-04, to lugnet.reviews, lugnet.harrypotter, lugnet.castle, lugnet.year.2004)
