Today’s polybag, 30111 The Lab, is probably the least exciting Harry Potter polybag in existence. I’m going out on a limb a bit with that claim. I haven’t reviewed all of the HP polybags in existence, but I feel pretty safe about this claim.

Harry here looks pretty disappointed in this lackluster polybag as well.

He has a double-sided head and that is probably the most exciting thing about it.

The “lab” part just looks like a bookshelf with potion bottles on it. There’s a spider taking up residence on the top shelf. Good luck getting the lemon and strawberry Fanta bottles off from up there. Boris the spider won’t like that. There are three more bottles on the bottom shelf.

Inexplicably, there’s a hidden storage compartment under the shelves. There’s a letter and a tooth which I think is supposed to be a quill or something. I haven’t watched all the movies nor read all the books, so I’m unsure if this was a significant scene or plot device. Was there a secret message that was relayed via a trick book shelf, or potion shelf if I may? I guess I’ll have to watch the movies or read the books to find out.

And that’s about it. You get Harry and a trick bookshelf. It’s really not that fun.

Does It Suck or Does It Rock?

This set sucks! I doubt this is actually based on a scene from the movies. And if it is, it must have been one boring ass scene.

You Can Win This And Every Other Polybag I Review This Year

I’ll be raffling every polybag I review this year in one big lot, all 260 sets (with the possibility of more). Each set will be individually stored in a ziploc baggie complete with the extra pieces, instructions, and the actual polybag bag it came in. The cost of a raffle ticket is just $1 USD and you can enter as many times as you want. Send a PayPal payment to paypal@fbtb.net for $1 USD for every ticket you want to purchase. DO NOT send one payment for multiple entries i.e. do not send one $5 USD payment for five tickets; five $1 USD payments must be made instead. Raffle is open to everyone in the world except where raffles are illegal. Be sure to put “POLYBAG RAFFLE” in the notes section of the payment in order to be entered successfully. Winner will be drawn sometime early January 2023 and contacted at the PayPal email address the payment was sent from to arrange for delivery. For a running list of all the sets that you can win, check this Google spreadsheet.
