But that is certainly not the merit of Lepin. <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"smilies\" title=\"Laughing\" src=\"https:\/\/lepinland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/d3c2afc7e6900a81eaa9c26810460535-46.gif\" alt=\":lol:\" width=\"15\" height=\"17\" \/><br \/>\nStill, I have to say that I&#8217;m impressed. I had no missing parts, all numbered bags fit perfectly with the instructions. This is neatly printed, any color errors are of course not so rude because you never have many parts lying around. The quality of the stones is excellent, I can, except for the absence of certain lettering, recognize no difference. The slants are roughened beautifully, all colors fit, only the books are in need of improvement. The figures are very well, except for Dumbledore&#8217;s beard. The glass stones are unfortunately slightly milky again.<br \/>\nI was also very impressed by the stickers &#8211; they have a good film thickness, are easy to stick and are printed clean.<\/p>\n<p>100% recommendation! <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"smilies\" title=\"thumbs up\" src=\"https:\/\/lepinland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/17cc43597576afb5452a04e32f4c0689-20.gif\" alt=\":thumup:\" width=\"20\" height=\"17\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Buy\u00a0LEPIN : <strong>Click<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lepinland.com\/shop\/lepin-movie-series\/lepin-16030-harry-potter\uff1ahogwarts-castle-compatible-lego-4842\/\"><strong>HERE<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is the LEPIN [] 16030 &#8211; Hogwarts Castle Real Reviews from our lovely customer nickname Torsten Adler at Germany.
