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 was fun to build all the parts were the thank goodness. It kept me busy with my down time.

When this arrived in our home, we were instantly enthused. The box is huge, and the photos on the front compel you to open and build it right away. Ill save the repetition of listing/explaining every single part of whats included - I think its better to just know that this is a set that can be enjoyed by ages young and old. If this set has been purchased for a younger child, with some help from parents or older siblings, it will be a Lego build that theyll love. On the opposite end of the spectrum, its a neat-looking train with features, so older (even adult) Lego fans will love it too. Our family (young and old) worked on this together and enjoyed it. Yours will too. We recommend this product. If you found this review helpful, please click the Helpful button below. Thanks!

This is one of the best options to get a LEGO castle theme.... since those aren’t really available by Lego anymore! My 9 year old loves it!

It’s over all a fun set

Easy to follow directions make the creation of the Lego Ghost Train so much fun! The plastic blocks are colorful and sturdy, but once the creation is made, put the train up on a shelf where it can be carefully played with or keep the instructions handy to figure out where everything goes. Legos are a fun way to bring everyone together. We love them.

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!

Great Lego product but young ones need help building

This is so much fun to put together, I enjoyed all the hidden side monster effects!

Our four year old is a huge fan of legos, and he was excited to put together this set. He was able to do it 95% himself, with just a little occasional help. This ghost train has so many fun features. The engine has wings that fold out and in using a lever in the roof. One of the cars has a clear jail-like compartment that mini figures fit inside. And the third car has a large weapon on top. Most of the mini figures can transform into ghost versions with a new head and hair. The winged train is definitely our sons favorite aspect of this figure, the wings snap in and out in a very satisfying way. It would be nice if more tracks were included so you could actually drive the train around. There are only enough tracks for it to sit in place. The set comes with a free augmented reality game you can download to a phone or tablet. The game didn’t work on the older tablet our son uses. So we played on a phone. It was fairly easy to capture a picture of our train, but you only really needed to use the LEGO set once during the game — you set a color dial then scan that color. After that, the game doesn’t really need the set at all, and in fact it would probably be more fun without it, since it’s annoying to try to keep the phone oriented on the train. You basically just tap the image of the train to find trouble spots, then scan a minifigure, then fight a ghost. It takes about 5 mins. Then it’s over. And that’s it. You can repeat with some variations, but there’s not much to it. So that was a little disappointing. But legos have always been plenty of fun with no bonus game, so no real harm done! It’s still a fun set. We havent touched the game since, but our son is still playing with the train.

My daughter received it as a Christmas gift. A blast!
