4D Build, Harry Potter Hogwarts Express 3D Puzzle Model Kit 181 Pcs 2.5 Ft Wide | Harry Potter Gifts Desk Decor | 3D Puzzles for Adults & Teens 12+

This turned out way better than I expected, especially for the price point. Did take patience and about 5 hours but I am super impressed with the final product. Instructions were great and the pieces come on alphabetical pages and each piece is labeled which makes it easy to find what you’re looking for. I used clear Elmer’s glue to secure the joints. Going to seal mine to prevent fading.

Put this together as a pair and took over 4 hours. Solidly built and has really excellent details. We have since purchased a few more.

The product is adorable, and a very good size. It's not difficult to build, but frustrating. My 15 year old needed help a few times because the pieces did not fit properly and needed adjusted. When attaching certain pieces, others would fall apart. It would be great if some of the contact points were in different spots, it just was not the most fun item to build.

My son is very into Harry Potter and this was a very nice kit to keep him busy and he now has it on display.

I bought this on a whim, almost returned it, but figured, for the price, I would give it a try. I'm so glad I did! My husband and I put it together in a couple of evenings. We had never done a 3D puzzle before, but it was really easy to put together. The instructions are excellent and the pieces went together amazingly well. It was so much fun putting it together that, as soon as we were done, I purchased the hogwarts castle 3D puzzle.The end result is a beautiful model that looks like it costs 3 times what we paid. For easier cleaning going forward, I would recommend a clear spray coat like Krylon. This would also seal the model if it happened to get wet so the cardboard wouldn't swell and ruin it.Picture are really not necessary since the website does a great job showing the finished product. It came out exactly the same, but I have to say that it's so nice in person.

This item is a complete waste of time. I got it thinking that it would be fun to build a 4-D puzzle, especially being someone who absolutely loves to make puzzles and challenge myself with them, but this one was a $10, not worth my time puzzle. I honestly ended up sending the first one back and buying another one, thinking that maybe it would be better somehow, but it was not any different than the last one. Again, I absolutely love puzzles, and I was so patient and very careful with how flimsy some of the pieces ended up being, but it still had the same outcome, which was to break easily, and it's just cheap, cheap, cheap, quality. You can be the most careful, meticulous, detailed person when it comes to puzzles, and I do consider myself very patient and careful when it comes to puzzles, but I honestly do not recommend this one at all. I truly believe this should be a $1 item with a warning that says, "will break super easily when trying to build".

I purchased this after putting together the Harry and Hermione 4D Build sets. The Hogwarts Express kit is much harder to build. Some parts of the instructions are very unclear, and some pieces just don’t fit together well. I spent a whole evening working on the wheels and pieces connected to them. By the time I had it somewhat figured out, the tabs were flimsy, the slots ripped and some areas wouldn’t stay together anyway. It is really cool, especially for the price. It would be nice to have a video available online so when you’re unsure about a step, you can watch the video instead of ruining some pieces like I did. With all that being said, I would still buy it again. It is very neat.

Such a blast to put together. Challenging but so fun. Any ahharry potter fan needs this
