Over the web, it was very hard to judge scale and quality. Shipping from England took a week and arrived intact. Whenever I get a package of any sort, all 3 of my kids have to crowd in and get their faces in the way of the box cutter (Sigh). I dug the Hole out of the packing material and held it up. The oldest wanted to keep it for herself (a big LoTR and Harry Potter fan) and the 10 y.o. Declared that it was "really pretty"�. The 5 y.o. Wanted to play with it right then and there.

The sculpt of the pieces are clean and sharp. I'm particularly taken by the graveyard stuff, very nice. I should point out that some of the tombs have removable lids which was quite neat.
