SketchBrick Posted October 9 Posted October 9 Us in Canada have to wait for the new parts anyways, but the fox just sounds like a bad joke. Isn't that close to the price of the orca? I can't imagine those will sell well at all - maybe we could see a price reduction in the future? Quote

Can hope, but not so often PAB parts go on sale and even at half the price it's to expensive.. Quote

Yep, it’s just slightly less than the orca (body, the jaw costs an extra £4+) 5 minutes ago, Roebuck said: They have nothing to do with the price, that is probably a more sinister department higher up in the system Curses @ Lord Lego Business Quote

Animals wise, the ‘coral’ piece looks to be in at least one new colour - or maybe two. One seems to be the new reddish-orange at least. 🪸 Quote
BrickBob Studpants Posted October 10 Posted October 10 There‘s a black kitten hidden in the Batman logo set that was revealed yesterday! I doubt they recoloured it specifically for that set, so a printed version should show up in an upcoming set ^^ Quote

Roebuck Posted October 13 Author Posted October 13 Finally some exciting animal news for next year HP sets will include collectible patronus figs! So far a otter and a wolf is known, both are animals we have, the otter even originated as a patronus animal However we might get at least one new animal mould from this. It they continue we might get more I must say a lot more interesting than the pearl gold figs they usually give us for anniversary figs A deer doe is likely I would say Quote
Accio Lego Posted October 13 Posted October 13 (edited) Latest new drop – for the 25th anniversary of Harry Potter LEGO, some sets next year will come with collectible patronus figures. This will obviously consist of several animals in unprinted trans blue with sparkles. Current rumors say Lupin’s Wolf and Hermione’s Otter will be included. We should also expect to see the return of Harry’s Stag, Luna’s Hare, and the Cat (originally for Umbridge in the Ministry of Magic set, but likely to be brought back for McGonagall here). Other current animals to possibly get the patronus treatment like the Wolf: - Terrier dog (definitely since it’s Ron’s) - Horse (Ginny’s) - Fox (Seamus Finnigan) - Raven (as Magpies for the Weasley twins) - Phoenix (Dumbledore, although if they wanted to do a flying version this would be an opportunity) - Goat (Aberforth Dumbledore) Patronus Animals that do not currently exist in Lego form (in other words potential new animal molds we could see): - Doe (Snape and Lily, DEFINITELY happening) - Boar (Ernie McMillan) - Swan (Cho Chang) - Lynx (Kingsley Shacklebolt) - Weasel (Arthur Weasley) Edited October 13 by Accio Lego Quote

Friends will get a axolotl and seal on its side.. Quote

Magpies have longer tails and smaller, straighter beaks, but they’re still corvids and the biggest differences between them and Ravens, the size and colors, wouldn’t be applicable in a format where colors are uniform and relative size has always been a bit loosey goosey. I’d love to be wrong though, and I think a little display stand with a pair of sparkly blue magpies (no reason to separate them) would be very attractive to collectors. Quote
williejm Posted October 13 Posted October 13 Cautiously optimistic about the possible new animals appearing as ‘patronuses’, as they have never been licence-locked in the past. It did, though, take some time for the hare, otter & deer to make it into ‘real’ animal variants, so probably wouldn’t expect those any time soon… couple of years after, maybe? Have to also add that for the first recolour of the new wolf to be in trans glittery blue, ain’t all that useful to me 🤷🏽♂️ Quote

Except for the adult sizes of some of those patronus. Quote

That‘s quite funny to think about, as the patroni will be the first anniversary bonus that isn‘t (near-) uniform in terms of size! One set will have a tiny otter while another will have a pretty sizeable stag. In the extended lore, the size differences are even more ridiculous with one character having a mouse patronus and another a wooly mammoth! 14 hours ago, Accio Lego said: Terrier dog (definitely since it’s Ron’s) I think the mould has been retired, unfotunately.

I do not remember what kind of breed it was in the movies 🤔 Quote

I do not remember what kind of breed it was in the movies 🤔 Of course they can always resurrect moulds, but in that case they likely would've already done so. The Wicked set and the set Ron's patronus will be in aren't that far apart after all (even if it's one of the June sets). I think they'll simply use another dog piece Quote

And designers do not necessary know what other designers are working on or if they can use a mould another set use the budget on.. They might use another dog, however with the HP budget and the gimic of a collectors item it seems strange to use subpar moulds Quote

I do not remember what kind of breed it was in the movies 🤔 Ron would definitely deserve the new mold budget – he’s a main character no matter how often Lego likes to neglect him. It’s not surprising you don’t remember the movie version much, Ron’s patronus appeared for only a couple of seconds and not as prominently or clearly as Hermione’s, Luna’s, or Ginny’s, but it is a smooth coated terrier (probably a Jack Russel). So even the Westie mold that seems to have been phased out wouldn’t have been ideal. Quote
