aukevin Posted July 10, 2018 Posted July 10, 2018 Got my shipment notification for my backordered Quidditch set from the online LEGO store. My backorder date was July 16, so they beat it by almost a week. :) Quote
Robert8 Posted July 10, 2018 Author Posted July 10, 2018 Does anyone have clear pictures of the portraits in the whomping willow set? One of those might be one of the founders? Quote
Balrogofmorgoth Posted July 10, 2018 Posted July 10, 2018 (edited) I made a first year Neville and Dean out of the two extra Hermione figures with the Gryffindor sweater (I would rather have those two unique figures than three of the same Hermione) and they look quite nice. It won’t let me upload the picture but for Neville I used Frodo’s face from Gandalf Arrives and the 2010-11 Professor Flitwick hair piece. For Dean I used one of the Jurassic World guards’ head and hands (a lighter brown skin tone, the same color as the Dean in the CMF series). The face is a little too serious for my liking but it still works very well. And then I used the hair piece from the CMF gladiator from one of the recent series (the same hairpiece as Dean from the upcoming CMF). Both look great and I can’t wait to make more when the CMF come out! Edited July 10, 2018 by Balrogofmorgoth Quote

One of those might be one of the founders? Bricklink has this image but it is a bit fuzzy. Judging from colour scheme and composition I would say no I don't think so but I am not 100% as the image is not so clear. Quote

One of those might be one of the founders? Try JANGBRiCKS review on YouTube, you can see them pretty well. They are all just some random wizards, very similar to the battle of hogwarts set from 2011 or somsomething. On of them has a pug. Quote
Robert8 Posted July 10, 2018 Author Posted July 10, 2018 Oh thanks Yeah, they dont look like any of the founders. It would have nice to have the founders as portraits. (Though I'm not even sure if the founders actually had portraits on Hogwarts. Harry would have gone to Ravenclaw's to ask her about her diadem or Slytherin would have been interrogated about the Chamber of Secrets) Quote

It might be a good idea to start a new topic for your "Custom Wizarding World Minifigures" as well. Quote

Dr.Cogg Posted July 10, 2018 Posted July 10, 2018 I Backordered the sets on July 1st and they just shipped today. Quote
Balrogofmorgoth Posted July 10, 2018 Posted July 10, 2018 I feel like Cedric’s hair piece will work a lot better for the eleventh Doctor than the Anakin hair piece he currently has. Anyone else? Quote

Anyone else? The hair is going the wrong way, much like the Anakin hair. The best hair, style-wise, is Alladins, which also works because of the fez Quote

These generic uniforms open a world of possibilities. I am looking forward to getting hold of the sets and the minifg series. Quote
Black Numenorean Posted July 11, 2018 Posted July 11, 2018 I pre order for a box for CMF, and i am so much excited for this. I think, this is one of the best lego wave i have ever seen. Quote

I am looking forward to getting hold of the sets and the minifg series. I just wish all 4 houses had been in the CMF. I’m really surprised didn’t do it, people would buy tons of each for just random students! I certainly would buy atleast 6 of each house. I know I’m getting loads of Chos and the main 3 to make assorted students its probably been said, but the teen legs definitely put the rest the question on when the kids would grow, it seems the best option (to me atleast) would be: short legs - years 1-2 teen legs - years 3-5 adult legs - years 6 - 7 Edited July 11, 2018 by Whovastron Quote

So you can use the torsos from there with 'tween' legs to make the older kids. Just have to buy all the Harry Potter LEGO they release..... Quote
Duffyoran Posted July 11, 2018 Posted July 11, 2018 Do you guys think we will ever get characters like the Patil twins?(Parvati & Padma) or Pansy Parkinson, Lee jordan maybe Lavender Brown Its just, I was going to get 3 Chos in order to make the patil twins & I was wondering will it be worth while? I mean even if they do release the twins in the futre I can still make other characters out of their torsos Quote

Just the Great Hall and Cho Chang cmf for the torso's really. But yeah, all of them in the cmf would have been nice. I hope they'll focus on the Quidditch uniforms next (if there is a next time). Still only 1 Slytherin and 1 Hufflepuff torso for a $100 something set, so if you want multiple I think you're better off BrickLinking them. Quote

Off course that is a gamble and even if it is evergreen you may wait several years for some of the characters to show up.. So the safest is to get more Cho's now and build other ravenclaws and exchange them if you get original figs in the future Quote

I need two heads for the twins I will be using one uniform for Padma and ill use the otherone for a custom Luna in robes. Anyways Im also getting another Hermione to use her robes for Parvati as they are both in different houses I will also be changing the hairpieces? Edited July 11, 2018 by Duffyoran Quote
