LEGO Elves 41180 Ragana's Magic Shadow Castle Building Kit (1014 Piece)

We love the Elves line. I love the colors, the attention to construction so things don't just fall apart in play, the neat little surprises like trap doors, and the tiny details. My girls love building structures and then using structures for adventures - and the Elves line is perfect for that. Ragana's castle has served as both the home to a nice wizard elf as well as a evil queen. The trap door + jail has housed daring heroes as well as coveted treasures. We love the "grand entrance" of the front door, which slides the guest through the door. My girls cracked up at the chocolate bar on the couch. They love to "brew potions" in the potion area. And my 4 year old adores the little cat. The instruction booklet is clear, like all lego instructions. My 7 year old is able to build the sets entirely on her own, but she has a very long attention span. My 4 year old needs our assistance but we enjoy building it anyway :)

Awesome villain and castle build, 4 YO loves the trap door and other features! The castle is much larger than the super cramped Skyra's Mysterious Castle. It features cool mechanisms, like the trap door and dungeon with a wall that can be "kicked down," wobbly bridge, hidden compartment under the bed, and moving castle door. It's got lots of little details, too, including sushi cat food and a cauldron room with ingredients. One of the best Elves builds so far, out of the 15 sets we've built.

This kit has lots of moveable features that are interesting and help kids invent stories and use the kit after it’s assembled. An eight year old can put this together if she is a lego aficionado.

A rather critical piece that was necessary to build the multistory structure, basically the roof between the 1st and 2nd levels. Its impossible to build past the 1st level without it.

Fun to build, but expensive for what it is. Tough way to get a baby dragon...

Basically the most awesome Lego to date for precocious 11yo girl who loves fantasy and lore. Many unique pieces you won't see elsewhere, goblets, spells, potions, etc (and a cat). A unique build with all the trap doors and movements and such. Made for a more enjoyable build than other sets. Easily her most favorite xmas gift. (I personally don't like pre fab special pieces as I like to build that instead of having it handed to me. But I am a 37 year old boy and no longer allowed to build legos) She loved it.

This is the castle of castles! There are so many neat mechanical actions on this one (bridge twists, trap door, jail break wall, etc) that it allows my daughters imagination to run wild. She and her little brother have spent countless hours storming the castle to save the baby dragon. This is by far the coolest lego set I've seen. Well done!

There were pieces missing and an extra package of one set of other pieces...made it work but for the price, it's disapponting.

My granddaughter loves it. As soon as she had opened all her gifts she went straight to building the castle and she was totally immersed in the story and characters. We hardly saw her for the rest of the day. The pieces seemed very small to me which is a positive or negative depending on your viewpoint. The box was squashed during delivery however.

Wonderful. It kept my daughter busy for days, she loves that she built the moving parts, and playing with it. It’s our biggest set so far, but we’ll be getting more of the bigger sets.

Good quality

Had trouble putting the potion spot on edge together. Otherwise a great set.

Was super happy with this purchase cheaper then the one sold in our local store. It came quickly from the supplier. Very satisfied. Thank you :)
