I thought this was a nice little set too. And you don't really even mind the flesh color fig, because Draco isn't an outstandingly useful head, and it is available in several other sets. May have to pick up a few more if they ever go on sale. Would like a contingent of Hippogryph riders.

If a hero rode it, it was good, if he didn't, it was bad.

I really like the Emperor's Ship - I have two - and I'll no doubt add Buckbeak.

I like it.
The cape of drago does not have any more dreadful stars. The tree is pretty.
The pumpkin, the book and the feathers are also useful. And the best, Buckbeak, is very impressive :P

I got 4753 last night and was very pleased with the hyppogryph, though I wish that the horses' chanfrons would fit over his head. That would be neat.
I might have to pick up a few copies of 4750 as well. I'd like to build an army of gryphon riders, and I like the fact that this one comes with foliage and birds, neither of which I have nearly enough of.

This will probably be the only set of the new HP I buy more than one of (I won't even be buying some of them at all).

While, for my purposes, Draco is purely useless, the rest of the set outshines that single bad point. I'll get one at regular price, bunch more on sale.

Not much of a review, simply an overview. But I like that anyway.

Thanks! Will you actually write up a review (i.e. your opinion on it), or just keep the overview as it is?
