Luigi's Mansion Entryway

"With a BrickScore of 73.9, Luigi's Mansion Entryway is a well-crafted, character-rich expansion that impresses with its inventive sliding door mechanism, exclusive Bogmire and Polterpup figures, and atmospheric design — though buyers should know upfront that the full experience calls for companion sets."

Luigi's Mansion Entryway (71399) earns broad praise for its creative design, exclusive minifigures, and clever interactive mechanics — particularly the sliding door system that opens the gates as the pathway moves. Reviewers consistently highlight the intricate wrought-iron gate construction, the visually impressive Bogmire figure (built cleverly with Unikitty horn parts), and the set's ability to stand alone as a satisfying Luigi's Mansion experience despite being marketed as an expansion. The main friction points are the set's dependency on other sets to unlock the full gameplay loop and a finicky Bogmire shadow ball mechanism.

Where they split: Brick Fanatics rated value highly and called the set near-essential for Luigi's Mansion fans, while Brickset took a more measured view — flagging the incomplete play loop, the questionable well mechanic, and the cumulative cost of needing three sets for the full experience. Owner reviews on LEGO.com were overwhelmingly enthusiastic with little reservation.
