Hogwarts LEGO – disaster or not?

Two manuals. Each half. One cliffs and ground, The other turrets and magic. The Question is, will it be disaster or not?

It started just fine. After about a day or 2, it was fun. By the end of the 1st week, I was so into it I was 3- quarters done with the first manual already! I thought nothing could go wrong. Until I got onto manual 2.

I had plunged through 4 packs of LEGO pieces on the 2nd manual, I was on pack 16–

That’s where it went all wrong.

I was on a step that called for a certain piece. I looked for it, made sure I hadn’t lost it-

It wasn’t there.

I called my dad onto it, and he said, “They accidentally put the wrong piece in the pack.” I knew what that meant.

Disaster.

We looked it up on the computer, and we would receive the missing piece in 11-13 days. That means NO LEGO for 11-13 days!!! NOOOOOOO!!!!

Crushing impact. This is what my Hogwarts looks like now, compared to the movie one.

The perfect, amazing movie Hogwarts

  1. Not – looks good to me. This past Christmas I did a Lego Buffalo Bills football. I was on the opposite side of your issue. I went through like 15 pages of instructions and ended up with one tiny extra piece. One singular tiny piece. It was driving me bonkers thinking I missed a step somewhere. I took it apart carefully and inspected it comparing each side thinking I could find a difference. I didn’t see one, and I was sure I followed everything correctly. But I think in a lot of cases you get shorted or over on the pieces from the company.

    Great job! Looking forward to seeing it all finished!

  2. Okay, here’s the comment you asked for (Legos can be tough)(At the time of this comment, it’s 4 out of the 11-13 days
