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)

This is a larger set so be prepared for that and starting earlier in the day so you can complete the same day you start. This is our first train set so this was a wonderful addition to our Lego collection. It has great details and love the hidden features give more interactive play. I’m not a huge fan of downloading an app and getting my kids on a device after spending time off a device to build this. But it does provide some extra enjoyment. I wouldn’t buy just fit AR piece.

I bought this for my grandson. He loved it

This is a fun, complex Lego build, especially for boys in the 8-11 range. Its not super easy, the train itself is detailed and cool looking, and it would make a great Halloween gift. (Yeah, each of our kids gets a non-candy Halloween gift from us; usually something with a spooky-ish theme.) Even my 12-year-old enjoyed building it, though it was definitely more in my 8-year-olds wheelhouse. The interactive element is ... less great. Its basically a series of videos that look like gaming cut scenes that, arent poorly done but also have very little to do with the build itself. My kids found taking a picture of the box, worked just as well as taking a picture of the build, which sort of defeats the purpose. There are also mini games that are mildly entertaining, but not something I can see having long term play potential.

This is the perfect holiday activity for our 8 years old twins - there will be help from older cousins if they need it. So, with rain predicted for Thanksgiving, we have a great indoor activity planned. This is a particularly nice building kit - we had to try out a part of out ourselves and almost got hooked completely! They love LEGO building kits - and this one is going to be a special favorite! Quality parts and pieces go together easily.

This lego set was quite interesting - ghost train with various characters and comes with a app that you could install on your mobile device - that could give it a pokemon like augmented reality fun twist. I have seen my daughter and her friends have lot of fun looking at the set from the ipad camera and role playing and giggling and having a blast. Theres intricate details in the train, as well as characters, but the app really puts in more flavor the overall experience of the set. Good innovation by Lego to keep up with the times.

This is our first time trying the new LEGO line Hidden Side. We have not used the app functionality, but purely based on the building and play value, this is another great LEGO creation. Hours of entertainment.

Directions were explicit-extra parts just incase- all parts are spot on & manufactured precisely. Lots of moving parts and pleased with overall kit

I thought I was ordering the train from Harry Potter, so I returned this one. I liked it, but it wasnt the one I needed for gift giving.
