I disagree, there are some *very* nice parts in this set. Light grey 2x2
roof peaks (previously extremely hard to get), tan 2x2 roof peaks (not
available before AFAIK), green 2x2 roof corners (ditto), and several
always-useful pieces in light grey - brick hinges, 2x2 tiles, a minifig
seat, and 2x2 round bricks. Not to mention all the light grey and green 1x2
standard bricks.

How many green corners? I saw only one in the picture. There used to be a
cardinal Lego design rule that you get an even number of pieces like this,
or matched sets like in car doors.

It was that grey roof peak issue that triggered my landslide selling off of
Lego. Last night I discovered I own a 2x2 inside a Gungan Sub.

Anyway it looks like only one tan and one grey in Quidditch. They remain
rare but fundamental parts of the system.

This set also has the 1x1 round plate in gold, definitely new and very cool! Dave (22 years ago, 2-Nov-02, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.reviews, lugnet.harrypotter)
