![]() Augmented RealityĪs with all other Hidden Side sets that LEGO has released this set has augmented reality play capability through the Hidden Side mobile application. I am normally not the biggest fan of stickers but I feel the stickers provided in this set are very powerful and add some necessary detail to this school without driving up the cost. From Haunted Einstein to the School Achievements this set comes with a total of 44 stickers. Since most of the details on stickers would be exclusive to just this set, the use of stickers makes sense. Rather than investing entirely into printed parts, the designers chose to keep prices low and create a variety of detail by incorporating stickers. There are a lot of great stickers in the set, which could also be useful when designing your own MOCs. Although creatively built with details ranging from the toilet itself to toilet paper all the way to bathroom stall doors, this bathroom, unfortunately, does not offer much privacy to its users as the doors are too short and barely fit in the space… Anyone familiar with public bathrooms in the United States (and their large door gaps) may say that this feature nails the lack of privacy on the head. An immediate stand out addition to this build is the inclusion of a bathroom stall. ![]() Despite the small space to work with, the designers packed a ton of stuff into what is a relatively small space. The interior of the school is built like a doll house cut out showing a variety of rooms. The ornate flourishes and gold toppings add for a very regal feel, something that will quickly change once the play features are activated! The Interior Sticking out with a contrasting color, this entryway is the first thing your minifigure will see as they walk towards the school. You can’t talk about this set without talking about the ornate entryway at the base of the school. Gothic spikes adorn the bell tower and there’s a spooky bat on the top. Unfortunately, these stickers did not wow me and instead just looked out of place as they look randomly placed along the roof shingles. The sloped pieces on their own do not add too much detail, but the designers decided to add stickers to try to add some detail. To top off this set (pun not intended) there is a 26 Black roof. These colors are also used on the first floor for the school entryway, a centerpiece of this set that we will go into detail later. These bright colors against the backdrop of the dark red allows the windows to stand out. On larger bricks the designers opt to add stickers to add yet an extra layer of detail.Īll windows and frames make use of 192 Reddish Brown, 138 Sand Yellow Dark Tan, and 5 Brick Yellow Tan pieces. Aside from using varied colors the designer also uses a mix of Bricks and Profile Bricks of varied sizes to modify the texture. ![]() These distinct yet contrasting colors are reminiscent of #10197 LEGO Fire Brigade, a long discontinued modular set. The use of 154 Dark Red with an accent of 194 Medium Stone Grey Light Bluish Gray to accent the façade of this building makes the surface come to life. Color PaletteĪn immediate stand out wow factor of this set is the color palette. Let’s take a closer look at the colors, the exterior, the interior, and the augmented reality experience. The color palette, set design, and even the sticker come together to make this set stand out. Box art in the Hidden Side sets is more stylized than other themes.
