Harry Potter 2018 - Rumors & Discussion

[SpiderJazz]

Peeps don't be confused. We're going to get Nanofigs not Microfigs. 

[hayduke]

I'm sorry, kinda new to all of this, but what is the difference between nano and micro figs?

Will we be getting regular minifigures too, like in the Helicarrier?

[Kneel Before Bane]

I really don’t understand making Hogwarts microscale. Why would they ignore what the community wants? Here’s to hoping the bootleggers learn from this and produce something we actually want.

Right now there's no concrete information so I won't say either yes or no, but imo it should have regular minifigs. 

[nikhkin]

A lot of people are complaining, but I am sure a lot of people are also happy. 

Personally, a nano-scale Hogwarts would make a much nicer display piece. 

As for the UCS / Not-UCS argument. Technically UCS only refers to Star Wars sets, but that doesn't mean the Helicarrier isn't the equivalent of UCS for the Marvel license.

Nanofigures are like the ones from the Saturn V while Microfigures are 2 studs high.

Google it. Micro figs are used usually for board games / Nano figs is used as Antman / Nick Fury / Captain America and Ironman from UCS Helicarrier. 

[hayduke]

Ah cool, I actually really like the nanofigs!

[MicroJow]

If it turns out to be microscale, they just lost a sale.

what he said

[Khscarymovie4]

Wow, well my hope for this set just died down a lot. I liked the helicarrier and I'm sure the set will still be pretty cool but I think it would have been way better if it was a normal set. Oh well, that rumored UCS Cloud City set is looking better now.

[nikhkin]

A lot of you are saying you're not interested any more. 

 

Out of curiosity, why are you against the idea of the micro-scale Hogwarts? 

[The Pearson]

At least this opens up the opportunity for more parts to Hogwarts like Whomping Willow

They aren't. If you prefer minifig scale playsets, then buy the playsets. There are plenty of them.

And if you want fakes, then buy fakes.

Clearly people wanted a system scale castle so yes they are ignoring what we want? Find one person who was asking for a micro scale over a minifig scale.

Messed up names of scales. Dont want to confuse other users

Me. Personally I'm quite happy at the smaller scale model.

And not once did you post about wanting a micro scale before the leak today

[Black Numenorean]

The worst news ever on this wave. 350 dollars for nano minifies and a "architecture set".

Not for me.

 

My bad, it broke my day.

No, but I also haven't spent much time on here since about November (when the Diner modular was announced). 

People can want things but not talk about them.

[BlueberryWaffles]

Guess this will be an easy pass. Not a huge problem for me, I'm looking forward to seeing how they expand their minifig sized Hogwarts throughout further waves. 

[Yochip]

I’m not really sure what people were expecting. Hogwarts is gigantic, there’s no way to accurately do it in minifigure scale in d2c quality. 

[Duffyoran]

Personally after hearing the news I dont think the price of the Hogwarts will be €350-€450 because The Simpsons house & The Kwik E Mart were only €200 and they had roughly around 2,500 pieces I cant see them using anymore pieces than that in the USC Hogwarts

Feel free to read through the last 200 pages of this discussion. I don’t like the idea of a micro scale right now (although I love the Helicarrier so maybe they’ll pull it off) but I have definitely seen people asking if it was a possibility earlier in this forum.
