The vibes you bring with each video are immaculate. In a community where the seemingly cool thing to do is to nitpick and complain about every little thing Lego does, I so appreciate how you look at everything objectively and as someone who truly is a fan of Lego

Both sets are pretty cool. I globally prefer the new shack but the candy shop and the transforming device are quite nice.
If you cannot afford both to mix them, as you said, buy the one that's on shelves at its normal price. And don't forget to have fun... and a great life.

I just love the calmness you emit in every video, I feel so comfortable just watching and enjoying. Great video as always.

It's amazing to see how much lego has improved over the years

I was always intrigued as a kid about the big transformer piece from 2004 when I saw the set in catalogs back in the day. I’m so glad you showed it of here in all of its glory, you could maybe try and incorporate it in one of your MOC’s as a challenge! haha

I love your content. You cover a lot of older sets I hold near and dear, and your breakdowns are so thorough and thoughtful. Really appreciate the content 🙌

This is by far the best review/comparison of this set on youtube

[stackingstoriesreviews]

You are quickly becoming one of my favorite lego reviewers! Your vast knowledge of various sets, parts, and their history's is second-to-none in this community, and you review the sets with such joy! I look forward to continuing through your video backlog. Keep up the fantastic work!

It's odd how Star Wars feels like it has this endless supply of vehicles to make sets out of, but Harry Potter does the opposite with a endless supply of buildings. They always tend to look pretty fancy, don't have any Harry Potter myself. Love these, also the Werewolf from the old one is the funniest but best thing

I love that you are a fan of many themes, but when you do HP, I'm very intrigued. I thought the 'spinning' feature on the newer whomping willow was fun. However, a full door sticker is a pain to place - if doors require texture - they need to be printed. NIce job on the comparison, Caleb.

Your review reminds me of my childhood, I’ve got the 2004 set for Christmas and I absolutely loved it. It was a great set and I enjoyed every minute of building it and playing with it. I should still have it, stored away in the attic. Thank you very much 😊.

Both sets are incredible. There's something magical about the older one, even if I wasn't even born then but the newer one has the better figures and overall better build.

I love the energy he brings with these videos. He's like an excited kid who is really passionate about LEGO, and wants to share his knowledge with the world. There's always an air of childlike wonder in every video.

One of my favorite LEGO youtubers, hands down! Keep up the great work!

I think it's kind of a bummer that there is a color deviation in the Dark Tan of the Lupin Werewolf minifig: While Legs and Head have a reddish hue, the torso/arms have a greenish hue. It's clearly to be seen at around 5:30. I guess your set was produced in Mexico for the North American market, while my set comes from Czech Republic for the European market, but I have exactly the same color deviation! It's a shame since it is an exclusive minifig in a 90 Euro set!
Surprisingly, the Dark Tan on the Human Lupin minifig they get right!

I actually really like the original serious black minifigure more so than the newer one, maybe change up the hair and I think it’s one of my favorite Harry Potter minifigures I’ve seen. Great video and can’t wait to see more MCL vids!

The 'sticker sheet problem' exists since the introduction of stickers. How do I know? Our son desperately wanted an old Ultra Agent set and we ordered one 'new' (which means sealed). After opening it, we found a totally destroyed loose sticker sheet with stickers scattered and... well... sticking all over the bags... :(

[Revan]

I think that above a certain price point, there shouldn't be stickers and just use prints instead, the Daily Bugle for example annoyed me because of the stickers despite being a £285 set.

No way- I OWN THE OG SHRIEKING SHACK! I have ALL those parts in a random bin I bought a long time ago!

[nkende]

I really like both of sets! I agree that the old sets hat some kind of extra magic to them :) I've once had some stickers "melt off" (the stickers were on the sheet and the paint just dissapeared in some places) after sitting in the attick for a couple of years, so I don't reccomend doing thaat :P The only problem with the old one is it being built of mainly brittle brown bricks, but I guess that wouldn't really be an issue unless you drop it... Keep up the great videos! :D

Amazing review. Too bad you haven’t reviewed the others I would love to see that.
