LEGO Hidden Side Newbury Haunted High School 70425 Building Kit, School Playset for 9+ Year Old Boys and Girls, Interactive Augmented Reality Playset (1,474 Pieces)

My Son and I had a great time building this. Another great idea from Lego.

Why did this item not come with an outer box? The lego box was crushed in the corner.. This is not acceptable, it’s a gift.

My son loved this!

Im gonna keep saying it with these fantastic hidden side sets; the price per brick seems off. Overall very fun set, easily modded with a motor, fits in Lego City or Harry Potter or Western Themes.

Very fun train to build. Comes with everything including great easy to understand instructions.I would expect nothing less from LEGO. The nice twist to this is the app to bring this thing to life. I do not want to spoil anything, but the augmented reality is a very nice/different touch. You can play with the set without the app so dont let that stop you from getting this nice train set. Any LEGO love would have a great time with this.

The Lego Hidden Side Ghost Train Express 70424 Building Kit is impressive itself, and also has the Interactive Augmented Reality Playset. The kit is 698 Pieces, and had a couple tricky spots for a 7-year-old, but otherwise manageable. I love that LEGO is adding little surprise moving parts, like a mouth and wings to the train. The app is free, and it was a bit of a challenge at first, but then we got the hang of it, and love it. A fantastic way to add even more fun to a set that is terrific on its own!

We are train and LEGO fans so this Ghost Train Express building set is a good fit. In addition to the basic components these Hidden Side sets include an optional augmented reality game app although an android or iOS tablet or smartphone is required to utilize that feature. After loading the app, point the device at the completed structure and move it around for an interactive experience. The Hidden Side app includes games, mysteries and ghost hunting/capturing. Future updates are mentioned which should help maintain interest. Check device compatibility on the website—checkdevice. And, it is probably obvious but to avoid confusion, the train is not motorized and use of the app is optional. This haunted train and station set is large, 5 inches wide, 5 inches tall and 24 inches long, and at 698 pieces it is reasonably challenging. The train tracks are the uniform size used in other LEGO building sets so they can be incorporated into other projects. Included are 5 minifigures and there are movable features on the train, like the pop-out ghost wings, a cannon to help eradicate the ghosts, etc. As always, the pieces fit together well which is not the case with some other brands. The illustrated instruction guide provides solid guidance and the finished project is visually impressive. The set is designed for ages 8 and above so younger builders may need older sibling or adult assistance during construction. Build time will vary based on experience and whether done over a couple of days or in a single sitting. Suitably creepy without being frightening. Excellent.

Very disappointed. Seriously?! Passing off a previously opened Lego set as new?! Purchased this for my sons birthday. The box had been previously opened and was taped shut. My son opened it to find bag 5 had been opened. Being an excited child with his new set, he decided to build it, only to find pieces were missing as well as one of the sticker sheets. We will be returning, and will rethink any future purchases with this seller.
