Harry Potter 2018 - Rumors & Discussion

[kevkipo]

Newt and Tina look good as well! But will the Dimensions pack now be the only way to get blue coat Newt?

More than likely, unless they decide to include them in a later set, but for the time being they’re only available in the Dimensions packs or on BrickLink (where I got them)

I assume so. But you'll likely get their movie 2 coat versions in some future set.

It looks like we are getting Newt, Tina, Queenee and Jacob (and niffler and possibly more beasts/creatures) in the suitcase set.

Has anyone heard rumours if this the complete Minifig selection for the set because I hope we still get Dumbledore.

I don't think Young Dumbledore would really make an interesting minifigure. Old Dumbledore is more iconic.

If young Dumbledore appears in a FB set it won't be this one. Based on the outfits, the suitcase will be based only on the first film. I Hope we will be getting a second Crimes Of Grindewald set...

[AnnaBuildsLego]

The FB minifigs look fantastic! Very pleased to see them, it's making me way more curious about the Suitcase set. I'm not a fan of the brick-built Fawkes and Basilisk in the Great Hall set (although they don't bother me much because they're only side builds) but it'll be interesting to see what the brick-built creatures in the Suitcase look like. 

I think that the Erumpent will likely be built similarly to the rhino in the Black Panther set Rhino Face Off at the Mine (76099). 

[sunhuntin]

Jacob looks perfect, only thing he needs is a suitcase, which is easily remedied. I do agree both of the Queenie faces are weird, I don't recall her grinning like that in the film, it's too cheesy for her. Hopefully we get a normal face eventually, or this one isnt't final.

Maybe I missed this in the last 192 pages, but is the new Harry Potter legos going to be more than 1 wave?

Hasn't been officially confirmed but if they sell well (which I think they will) then probably yes. Also them focusing mainly on Sorcrers Stone and Chamber of Secrets, makes me believe they will continue with Prisoner of Azkaban and Goblet of Fire (my two favorites) next year and continue the pattern of two films per year.  Rumor is that Lego wants to make it "evergreen" akin to Star Wars.

Nothing confirmed but heavily rumored

Unless the sets absolutely tank then I don’t think they will determine if we get another wave of sets. Lego sets are usually designed around 18 months in advance. So I would say another wave is pretty much for sure but sales would affect the summer wave of next year

[Robert8]

Oh... if the upcoming waves focus in films 3 and 4, 5 and 6, 7 and 8, then that means we done with movies 1 and 2?

Because Firenze the centaur only appeared in film 1. So, that means no centaur

Shame on you! Confusing one of the most adorable characters in the hole wizarding world with one of the definitely worst By the way you should see the movie

Ok, I get it 

In that case I wish they had reused the old hairpiece for Umbridge, so they wouldn't look so similar.

Because this Queenie girl looks like Umbridge had a dye job

If it’s evergreen, they’ll cycle back to films 1and 2 eventually

Well, if you're just looking for a centaur fig and aren't fussed if he's Firenze or not, I could see us getting one or two in the eventual Order of the Phoenix sets (maybe with Grawp too? I can dream)

[Pop Star c o]

I think that JKR should be the exclusive CMF minifigure which appears once in four boxes.

I don't really expect a Rowling minifigure.

Any centaur would be fantastic.

I think the problem is that Queenie's blonde, but not so blonde that they'd give her a yellow hairpiece. Also, the pink outfit she wears in the film is more clearly a dress, but it looks awkward on the figure. She doesn't exactly have a defining outfit, so the pink one is the one they chose.

That right there but would the perfect opportunity to revive a fantasy castle series with those molds they would need to make. I could see that.

[Ultron]

I'm impressed how well the main four of the FB group turned out! Though if I'm being honest, the dimensions Newt and Tina are much more accurate than the ones from the suitcase. Tina's hair is ehh...and Newt's face is bad. I do wish they had either made a new hairpiece for Newt or maybe recolored Jay from the Lego Ninjago Movie's hair. 

[THELEGOBATMAN]

Why do we get only one Crimes of Grindelwald set? I hope we get another one or two in winter wave (if there will be one).

I would guess because this theme is focused on Harry Potter more than fantasic beasts. Lego feels like Harry Potter would sell for sure while fantasic beasts is questionable. So they want to test the waters before deciding to include more fantasic beasts stuff 

[Agent Kallus]

It looks like the great hall is the only regular retail set where you can get the normal uniform of non-Gryfindor students.  Hopefully the cmf will change that.

Huh? I thought there were two; Grindelwald's carriage and Newt's briefcase. Did the second one get cancelled? Didn't we already see leaked figures for Newt and Tina?

The suitcase is based on the first film

And Jacob and Queenie. The set is coming
