Not as much as with the spider as they did for this line but still needs one. Know they added it in brick form to the castle set but needs a serious representation I think. It's been claimed by Just2Good that Lego wants HP to be an "evergreen" (i.e. an ongoing) theme. If this wave sells as well as we all hope, there's no way they won't make a new Chamber of Secrets sooner or later. Given the quality of the beasts in the Newt's Suitcase set, I wouldn't even mind if the Basilisk was brick-built, maybe with a new moulded head. They only made the little Basilisk in the Great Hall because it needed a "baddie" for the heroes to fight, there's no reason to think they won't make a bigger, better Basilisk in a future set. Quote

Crosses Fingers haha. Maybe they should of gone for a troll for the castle set. Makes more sense since they attacked it and even went into the toilets. I personally wish they make it simlar to the basalisk design of the old set but have a extra vertical swivel at the base of the neck so it can strike down with it's head along with a slimmer body so it flows better with the neck and tail. Moulded would allow for some nice decal textures on the sides. Hope they make it sand blue also this time around. Quote

It's at the very top of my wishlist for future waves, I can only imagine how amazing a Chamber of Secrets set would be today. Quote

Same. The Basalisk is my favourite Harry Potter creature. Wan't to see it brought back into the LEGO spotlight. For it's own dedicated set. Quote
Dr.Cogg Posted June 10, 2018 Posted June 10, 2018 They could build the Basilisk like they did with the creatures in Newt's Suitcase, brick built with a molded head. Quote
Roebuck Posted June 10, 2018 Posted June 10, 2018 If they make the assumed D2C Hogwarts based only on year 1-2 it is probably included there, personally I think it is more likely it is from all the films, so then we have to wait for a future wave with a set which most likely will come sooner or later Several of the animals that are brick built this wave could definitely get a mould in a future wave. Lego overspent the budget on this wave, so they needed to prioritize witch animals and other parts they should mould this time around. I think these 3 have the best chance of getting a new mould in a future set; 1 fawkes, 2 occamy (small), 3 basilisk, but we are still missing animals like Fang and Mrs Norris also.. Next wave will have a new fresh budget with all of the first priority parts already made. On the other hand if next wave is from 3-4 films there is a lot of animals that need to be made: Buckbeak Hungarian horntail Padfoot Werewolf Crookshanks Pigwidgeon Abraxan Merpeople (probably minifig) (Ferret and Grindylow ) In addition to fantastic beast of every kind from FB 4 hours ago, HarryPotter said: I can only imagine how amazing a Chamber of Secrets set would be today.

Black Numenorean Posted June 10, 2018 Posted June 10, 2018 If you want more lego set, you need to buy all of them and make a lot of advertissement around you. About me, i will buy all the sets this year even the D2C. Otherwise, the wave will be finished like lotr wave: two and the garbage hobbit sets. We have the same type of wave with lotr/hobbit and fb/hp Perhaps we will have more fb in next years and hp less. Quote
Whovastron Posted June 10, 2018 Posted June 10, 2018 I’m getting everything Day 1, even going on the hunt now as they’re showing up in the U.K. Quote

And a new Fawkes and Buckbeak mold are also a must. Quote

Heppy9 Posted June 10, 2018 Posted June 10, 2018 I’ve just seen the US catalogue and states a release date for the Harry Potter brickheadz as 1st August! The uk online shop has them as a 1st July release so it could well be true the uk will see all the other sets on 1st July too ? Quote

It looks like they are planing to give her a unique print, since she was not included in the WW set, If they where planning to use a normal cat they could just have put one in the set.. 59 minutes ago, RyanMe said: I wish they would have justvreused the mood for Fawkes from the chamber of secrets set It seems that Lego have been updating every old animal mould the last years, so I think it is not a option to reuse a old animal mould in a set now.. I do not mind since the updates are always better looking, but not sure why they do it some are very similar to the old mould.. Could be that the old moulds do not fit into the moulding machine any more perhaps Quote

x105Black Posted June 10, 2018 Posted June 10, 2018 4 hours ago, RyanMe said: I wish they would have just reused the mood for Fawkes from the chamber of secrets set [sic] I agree. If the issue is that the old mold is no longer working, then hopefully a new Fawkes will be molded some day. Replacing it with a brick-built substitute feels cheap. I know they were already over budget on molds and such, but this is one thing that just doesn't work well. Quote

That’s intriguing, as the US event revealing all the sets stated August 1st, as does the Danish catalogue. danish catalogue says August 1st for Brickheadz and Sets Event in US says August 1st for both brockheadz are listed for July 1st in the U.K., and then are shortly followed with other countries also listing them someone finds the Quidditch set on sale in the U.K. (and not in a toy store, WHSmiths is actually mainly a newsagents that sometimes sells toys, so isn’t exactly a main buyer). 3 weeks before July 1st, and 7 weeks before August 1st i highly doubt a shop like WHSmiths would have a set 7 weeks early, so I think that points to a July release in the U.K., but all this other information is quite contradictory. I think I’ll email customer service and see if they can shed any light on it Quote

So if the set team come to the CMF team and say; look we really want to make a new Mrs. Norris and Fang, but we have used up the budget, is that something you could include in the CMF? Or the other way around, the CMF team say to the set team; We are planning to include a Mrs. Norris and Fang in the CMF, please do not include them in any sets Quote

Itaria No Shintaku Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 (edited) I'm quite surprised I have ZERO information about the minifigure list and it's onlye 50 days from the release. Edited June 12, 2018 by Itaria No Shintaku Quote

Yes, so far they have kept the lid on very well! The Ollivander fig is very likely from something else than CMF (book, polybag etc) and the voldemort fig could just be a fake. Normally we do not get one CMF fig leak together with several set figs or one CMF fig out of the blue, they usually come several together right? Hopefully we get something soon, at least a correct list if nothing else! Well with every day passing that we do not hear anything the chance of hearing something increase the next day Quote
Duffyoran Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 So I just asked my local Smyths about the when the Harry Potter sets would be released and they said it wasnt on their records Quote

Yeah it's quite odd. You would almost start thinking they weren't making a HP CMF at all... But I shouldn't lose faith Quote
