LEGO Design Master, Marcos Bessa, has announced that the LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Express – Collectors’ Edition (76405) is his last project as Design Lead for the theme. This does not mean that he’s leaving LEGO but will continue being a Design Master which in his words is will be, “creating building experiences and products within different projects at LEGO. I’m not sure what that entails but I’m looking forward to see what Marcos creates in the future.

Soon departing Platform 9¾!
This is the latest and greatest set from the @LEGO Harry Potter line that I had the pleasure of designing. This model also marks the official end of my journey as Design Lead – how fitting? – as I embark on new adventures into uncharted grounds! 👀 pic.twitter.com/N44X4pFd2W

Capture the magic of the Harry Potter™ stories with a buildable, 1:32 scale replica of the most iconic vehicle in the Wizarding World.

Authentically detailed inside and out
The engine features a detailed underside and a lever on the top that causes the train to rock with the motion of a steam train. A tender car carries the engine’s supply of coal. The passenger car comprises 3 compartments, each depicting a classic scene: when Harry, Ron and Hermione meet in the series’ first movie; when Professor Lupin saves Harry from the Dementor™ in the third movie; and when Luna saves Harry from Draco’s spell in the sixth movie. The model also depicts Platform 9¾ at King’s Cross Station, where the adult Harry and Ginny wait with their children, Lily, James and Albus, ready for Albus’s first trip aboard the amazing Hogwarts Express.

In a surprise twist, we now have a first look at the new LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Express Collectors’ Edition (76405). A Reddit user ordered the new LEGO Icons Lion Knights’ Castle (10305) and received the unannounced set by accident. There are a number of reports that the multiple people had the same issue over in Australia and New Zealand.

The set has 5,129 pieces and includes a whopping 20 minifigures as well. The Hogwarts Express is more larger scale and also has a sections of Platform 9 3/4.

There’s no word on the official reveal or release date but I would guess it’ll be really soon. Rumors has it priced at $499.99 with a September release. LEGO did give permission to post since LEGO did ship it out on accident.
