How to get the new ‘Hocus Pocus’ Lego set
When “Hocus Pocus” was released in theaters on July 16, 1993, it fared poorly. It was an instant box office bomb, debuting at fourth place on the weekend box office charts. Critics disliked it too. Rotten Tomatoes has it at 38%, and Metacritic has it at 43 out of 100. And yet, it became an all-time great cult classic with a sequel released on Disney+ last year and a third film already on the way. Now the summer Lego season is continuing its 90s-inspired streak that started with a Batcave with a set based on the Sanderson Sisters’ cottage.
‘Hocus Pocus’ Lego set details
- What you build: The set consists of the central cottage, plus a small cemetery that’s built separate from the cottage.
- For display and regular play: You can choose to leave the cottage completely intact with the graveyard nearby for the cleanest display. Alternatively, you can have more fun by lifting the hinged roof, removing a side room and opening up a wall for full and easy access inside.
- Interactive elements: The biggest interactive elements are the water wheel which spins to reveal pink smoke in the chimney, plus a light brick that can be switched on to act as a flickering fire under the Sandersons’ cauldron.
- Age suggestion: This is a large, complicated and expensive set. Lego recommends that builders be at least 18 years of age.
- Piece count: There are 2,316 pieces in the set, enough to likely take you several hours to complete.
- Minifigures: There are six minifigures. There are the three Sanderson sisters (Winifred, Mary and Sarah), the Dennisons (Max and Dani) and Allison Watts. A black cat to represent Thackery Binx is also included.
‘Hocus Pocus’ Lego set release time and cost
The set is called “Disney Hocus Pocus: The Sanderson Sisters’ Cottage,” and it costs $229.99. It will be released on the Lego site at 12:01 a.m Eastern Daylight Time on July 4. However, be ready to fight for your right to buy it because the limited allotment for VIP early access on Lego ran out fast.
