Balrogofmorgoth Posted July 30, 2018 Posted July 30, 2018 My Target FINALLY has the CMFs. Between my trip to Tucson yesterday and then the one here today, I have all the ones I need except for 1 Graves. Got multiples of some to make customs. I got one Graves but I need another for Grindelwald Quote
LegoSims20 Posted July 30, 2018 Posted July 30, 2018 Wow, the Great Hall is such a lovely build! Quote

Really impressed with them all, especially Professors Trelawney and Flitwick and some of the students. Also managed to find a second Percival Graves so PM me if in the UK and interested in buying it! Pm sent! Quote
LegoSims20 Posted July 30, 2018 Posted July 30, 2018 Grindelwald's Escape is such a satisfying build! The carriage looks wonderful. Quote

Seaber Posted July 31, 2018 Posted July 31, 2018 I'm not sure if it would be popular, but over on the Star Wars board there is an 'Updating your Minifigs' thread. In the mean time, here's an improvement I'm going to make. I reckon people will be getting multiples of Cho Chang for the Ravenclaw torso, but her skin tone seems wrong. I'm planning to use Rose Tico's (Star Wars Episode 8) face for Cho instead, as the skin tone is closer. I will probably use Cho's original face for the Patil twins. Quote

I’m using the Peter Venkman/12th Doctor hair piece to make a Deathly Hallows Remus Lupin Quote
Roebuck Posted July 31, 2018 Posted July 31, 2018 I wonder how quickly the sets will sell out at shop@home, or if they have made plenty this time and manage to withstand the first wave in a few hours time Quote
nrsperes Posted July 31, 2018 Posted July 31, 2018 Anyone from Portugal has been able to find any of the sets? Quote
Falconfan1414 Posted July 31, 2018 Posted July 31, 2018 So there is a building event happening at Barnes and Nobel on August 4th for a mini Hogwarts express Quote

Vindicare Posted August 1, 2018 Posted August 1, 2018 Ordered! Got the two FB sets. I’m almost more excited to get the Niffler than I am anything else. I’ve heard good things about Grindelwalds Escape, so I’m pretty eager to build that. Now the agonizing wait begins... Quote
Black Numenorean Posted August 1, 2018 Posted August 1, 2018 Here we go for européan consummer: the sets are finally ready. I am just waiting a promotion for decreasing the high price. Quote
Kim-Kwang-Seok Posted August 1, 2018 Posted August 1, 2018 I just talked to some retailers in Germany and they all told me the sets are due in October?! How is that possible? how does Europe get the sets in August at latest and here it's 3 months more than in the US?! Quote

Yann FOURE Posted August 1, 2018 Posted August 1, 2018 It's strange prices are different in each country. In Europe, we have difference between France and Belgium. Yann Quote

From certain retailers that is. They are available on the Swedish LEGO store now. Hogwarts Express is already on back order. Quote
BacktoBricks Posted August 1, 2018 Posted August 1, 2018 Just a heads up in case it affects your buying decision; the UK August 2018 store calendar states that VIPs get double points on the Whomping Willow and Newt's Suitcase during August, but on the Lego website at least that is not the case. It's actually double points on the Whomping Willow and the Hogwarts Great Hall. The Suitcase does not qualify for double points. I don't know if it is the same in store. Quote
AnnaBuildsLego Posted August 1, 2018 Posted August 1, 2018 Managed to get 9 CMFs so far, no duplicates, including Graves/Grindelwald so I'm incredibly happy. 1 hour ago, BacktoBricks said: Just a heads up in case it affects your buying decision; the UK August 2018 store calendar states that VIPs get double points on the Whomping Willow and Newt's Suitcase during August, but on the Lego website at least that is not the case.

Oh cool, thanks for the head's up! I'm considering getting the Parisian Restaurant soon, but now I'm conflicted haha. Quote
LegoSims20 Posted August 1, 2018 Posted August 1, 2018 I wish I'd have had the restraint to wait and buy the sets today from the Lego Store and get all those points towards the UCS. Oh well. XD Quote
