Harry Potter 2018 - Rumors & Discussion

On Credence's alternate face, is there supposed to be white in the middle of the silver circles? I've been looking at my figure, and it kind of looks like the flesh tone continues beneath the silver circles. Is there meant to be a brighter white, or is it just hard to distinguish the white from flesh tone?

Can anyone remind me about the details of that four pack of Hooch, Umbridge, Slughorn and Snape. Is it something to do with October?

For the United States(and some other parts of the world) it’s up in the air because it was a Toys R Us promo. I hope something happens with them, I want those minifigs.

If anyone in the UK comes across the polybag in a shop that isn't £9, please let me know.

Seems it’s exclusive to Hamley’s because of their Harry Potter merch floor. If it’s gknna show up somewhere else it will be Tesco or Entertainer, both are getting exclusive polybags. Entertainer aren’t selling the Harry Potter stuff so it’s likely Tesco

Aw man. If anyone goes to Hamleys, would they be so kind as to fetch me one and I'll pay you for item + shipping + envelope. I don't want to pay £25 on eBay (£9 is already ridiculous). 

Entertainer doesn't stock HP stuff. 

Oh never mind it's on the website for sale! £12.45 with postage yikes.

Does anyone need a spare Cho Change head, hair and arms? I bought an extra one for the uniform for Luna. I obviously don't want any payment for it, but I thought I'd ask because I know some people were making custom Patil twins. I don't have the heart to just leave her in a box.

[Markalus]

Wow, this forum has turned into a CMF feel guide and hunt report. I was just glad to get the sets I wanted; Great Hall, Whomping Willow, Quidditch Match and Aragog’s Lair at amazing prices in AUS. And Hogwarts Express ordered from S@H.

Congrats on getting all of them!

Also, what store were you at that they had hundreds? The only place that I ever saw which had this many was LEGOLAND. Oh, if only I had a pass!

Are you a big Harry Potter fan? I am and at first it hurt to open two duplicates (of the 11 I got) ...but I quickly was fine with it because I love HP so much! :)

Thanks, it was in Smyths. Probably more a Star Wars fan but I like Harry Potter a lot and actually like Fantastic beasts as a canon of the Wizarding World.  I will get the D2C Hogwarts Castle but I'm waiting for the Cloud City reveal and will likely get that first. 

I'm in the middle of reading the books for the 3rd time!

I wasn't too disappointed with the duplicates. I may even get a 2nd Graves (if the resellers leave any behind ?) so I can have Grindelwald. The additional Cho fig can easily be changed to a random other Ravenclaw. Having 2x Hermione and you can put her in 2 classrooms at once like in Prisoner of Azkaban. 

It hasn't prompted me to collected any other CMFs but I'll get the next Harry Potter set and obviously if they ever do a Star Wars series..

[Huigberts Builds]

So basically, if I buy the entire left side of a full box, I will most likely get almost an entire series including Percival Graves - 4 figures + 2 duplicates?

[Brickbashbosh]

For folks in the UK: Argos are doing their 3 for 2 toys offer and all the HP sets are included! Winner winner chicken dinner!

[ItamatTheGreat]

Is there anyone here from israel that managed to find the sets or the cmf?

[Heppy9]

Hey everyone! Amazon in the U.K. have great prices on the Fantastic Beasts sets. Just got the suit case for £32 a saving of £12 and grindelwalds escape for £14 a saving of £5.

Wow I could get a spare train to use the carriage. But they’re out of stock everywhere near me.

I got my first six CMFs the other day (The main trio, Flitwick, Dumbledore and Voldemort) and I was wondering if anyone has used the hairpiece from Richard Harris' Dumbledore on Gambon's version yet.

I think they look identical (obviously minus the hat) so should be no issues swapping and changing them.

Our warehouses are out of stock (I was lucky to manage to nab one) so once the stores are out we won’t be getting any in stock for probably 3-4 months

Grr. 

I could also have got another Quidditch set. Oh well maybe they will do it again nearer Christmas.

Can’t  comment about future 3 for 2 offers, it wasn’t supposed to be known to the public before yesterday, so whoever posted it in here could actually get in a lot of trouble for posting it on an open forum, and I wasn’t going to get the Quidditch set but I caved in and bought it and I definitely do not regret it

But the person posted it here only posted it 8 hours ago so they didn't break any rules.

Then they’d be fine, I just recalled seeing the email but wasn’t sure when I’d seen it

[Brickity]

Crap, all the sets were released the 1st here in Mexico, the polybags are probably going to be all picked

Is it bad to display models directly next to a window? I don't want them fading but that's the only space I have.

[Balrogofmorgoth]

I really hope someone takes that Moody hair piece and custom dyes it in green, I want to replace my Dark Knight Joker hair with that. And if Lego doesn’t use that piece for a Revenge Of The Sith Anakin (or even Clone Wars), it would be a huge waste of potential

Hello, long time lurker but I just wanted to add to the pattern speculation. <snip>
So my theory is I think the pattern can start anywhere in the row but the figures should be in that order when you find it. Good luck!

Yes, I just opened my box and your theory seems to hold!

My left row started with Jacob Kowalski, and the fourth figure was Graves.
