The 'Hocus Pocus' Lego set is flying off shelves

Lego

The ‘Hocus Pocus’ Lego set is just as popular this year as it was last

Gather 'round, sisters: The time has come. Lego has truly done us a solid with its '90s-inspired sets including a Batcave and last year's new release of the Sanderson Sisters’ cottage, from the cult classic movie, "Hocus Pocus." Just like last year when it first hit the scene, the set is flying off shelves.

When “Hocus Pocus” was released in theaters on July 16, 1993, it was an instant box office bomb, debuting at fourth place on the weekend box office charts. And yet, it became an all-time great cult classic with a sequel released on Disney+ last year and a third film on the way.

‘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 (or days?) 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.
