LEGO Ghost Train Express set 70424 review

Описание: I got this set while ago off Facebook marketplace as part of a package deal. Since it was part of a several sets for one price, I can’t really judge the price to part ratio or anything like that. I finally opened it up to build for Halloween which is quickly approaching. I always like Hidden Side sets, so this one did not disappoint; this also was my first time ever building a LEGO train. The Hidden Side sets do often have some kind of goofy features, but that generally also means that they have unique pieces, this set is no exception to either. I do think the wings popping out of the train is both cool, but a bit too hard to do. The train itself looks great, I like the color scheme, it’s too bad that it doesn’t come with the stuff to make it actually run. The cargo is again, a bit goofy; but you can easily take off the worst of it and make it look like a relatively normal train. The station is pretty standard for a LEGo train station, it has a platform and small dollhouse style building. It has good details but mostly from stickers, the bright yellow chairs also seem out of place. Four straight sections of track seem both good to get but at the same time barely enough to hold the train. The minifigures are great. Parker and Jack are always solid, I really like the civilian and train workers though, they really are good figures with good prints and parts, both useable and unique. As a whole this wouldn’t be a bad parts set even if someone doesn’t like the build. Lots of small things that could be done better: the stickers, the dollhouse, the difficulty of transforming the train, pull down the positives, and overall will grade this set a B.
