Blondie-Wan Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 (edited) Since we have not heard about a line for Fantastic Beasts AND Ghostbusters, Antman, and Dr Strange are all getting only one set, is it likely that there will only be one Fantastic Beast set? The latter two, of course, are part of a huge franchise that has two movies released each year, soon to be three (!). It might be fair to look at it more as "x sets released for Avengers: Age of Ultron and Ant-Man, and y sets released for Captain America: Civil War and Doctor Strange" (or in other words, "x sets for the 2015 movies and y for the 2016 ones").

Amazing Bricks Posted February 27, 2016 Posted February 27, 2016 No actual sets for this year sadly, but we're supposedly getting dimension packs this year. Look forward to 2017! Quote
CM4Sci Posted February 27, 2016 Posted February 27, 2016 So are we getting sets in 2017? ..As of now, no. All I heard about was Dimensions. I don't know if there is more. There might be! Quote
Robert8 Posted February 27, 2016 Posted February 27, 2016 It wouldn't surprise me if there are Fantastic Beasts sets.... HP is still immensely popular and the current castle line (Nexo Knights) is kinda.... let's say... controversial. So, a new theme with dragons and fantasy creatures would be deeply appreciated by castle fans who are still crying over Nexo Knights Quote
MysteriousSir Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 No actual sets for this year sadly, but we're supposedly getting dimension packs this year. Look forward to 2017! I can't tell if these means amazingbricks has info that there will be sets in 2017 (which would make my life) and is telling us to look forward to then, or if he's just looking forward in vague hopes also.

deskp Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 is FB a december movie ? december usually counts as the next year in lego terms so..... is that the case? Quote
CM4Sci Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 They usually released the Hobbit sets in November, remember? ( ) If I remember veeeeery hard, the guy who told me about it didn't say anything about sets. Quote
SandMirror38 Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 So just for clarification there's 2 Harry Potter Dimensions Packs? Quote
LEGODalekbuster523 Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 LEGO would be daft not to release sets based on Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them. If there's definitely none released this year, I bet there will be next and a game to follow after all three parts have been released in cinemas. Quote
BrickBob Studpants Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 is FB a december movie ? december usually counts as the next year in lego terms so..... is that the case? Nope, it's a November release: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fantastic_Beasts_and_Where_to_Find_Them_(film) Noone in their right mind would dare compete with a Star Wars movie (take a hint, Fox ) If they were sets to be released alongside the movie, we would've heard about that by now, be it through set lists, toy fairs or official press statements (and the latter always get released quite ahead of time) Maybe TLG has grown sceptical of sets based on WB fantasy franchises and test the waters by at least giving us Dimensions packs. Personally, I'd be all over FB sets as I'm a huge fan of the HP franchise The 30's NY setting could also make for some interesting sets and who could say no to minifig representations of Colin Farrell, Jon Voight and Ron Perlman Quote

It's Harry Potter; they'd make tons of money. Quote
djmangunz Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 No actual sets for this year sadly, but we're supposedly getting dimension packs this year. Look forward to 2017! :( That's such disappointing news but not too surprising since the Lego's last fantasy line based on a movie, the Hobbit series, didn't seem like it lived up to expectations. I certainly will pick up the Dementions packs up. It sounds unlikely that Lego will make sets on Fantastic Beasts at all, I wonder if they will bring the Harry Potter line back? Quote
CM4Sci Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 Not FB, but the Dimensions packs for Harry Potter are semi-confirmed to be: 71243 Harry Potter 71247 Hermione Granger Maybe the numbers are switched, maybe one's a Level Pack, I dunno right now. Quote
CM4Sci Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 Just went through a archive file I got from LD! I've found mentions of Harry Potter!! Here the name of files that finalize that Harry Potter is in there. ZEUS2_HARRYPOTTER ZEUS2_HERMIONEGRANGER And A trailer called ZEUSTRAILER! Quote
Ultron Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 I wonder if they'll give Hermione a less basic face this time around Quote
Legomaster34 Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 It's going to be weird to be able to play as Harry and Hermione, but not Ron (if those two are true). I can't wait to see what the Minifigures look like! I feel like the most recent ones (from 2010/2011) were long enough ago that we should get some new ones with the Dimensions packs. Quote

So, a new theme with dragons and fantasy creatures would be deeply appreciated by castle fans who are still crying over Nexo Knights Even though I love Nexo Knights, I can agree with this. It's been a long time since classic fantasy creatures have been readily available in large quantities, so new HP sets wouldn't hurt. Saying NK is controversial is a little over the top, though, especially compared to Chima. No Ron? No Voldemort? If there were only two HP packs, two of the four main characters had to wait. It wouldn't make sense not to have Ron and Voldy in the batch after that, would it? Quote

Sounds awesome! Maybe 71247 is a double pack with Hermione AND Ron? Pretty please Lego? Quote

I'd be shocked if we don't get Ron personally. Dumbledore is probably likely too. Quote
HawkLord Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 A Dumbledore update would be most welcome. Maybe with brick built Fawkes and mini-Hogwarts Express as a Level Pack? Quote
SandMirror38 Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 Well, I'm hoping for a new hair piece of Harry, personally the one they've been using doesn't work past film 2 Quote
