Harry Potter 2018 - Rumors & Discussion

[rodiziorobs]

I just noticed the "cobblestone" 2x4 tiles are printed, and there are six of them. I don't know why that makes me so excited, since I don't mind stickers and I don't know what I would do with these pieces, anyway, but it makes me very happy.

My gosh that set is beautiful- been wanting a Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes since 2010! Like the way it fits the scale, but wish it had some microfigures.

It could be photoshopped (the last one). I've seen those images. 

Do you think I should call my local Lego store?

I called my Lego Store and asked. Needless to say they told me they don't have it, buy hey it's worth trying!

Why would someone photoshop that?

its real, you can tell a mile off. And don’t worry it will come to U.K. Lego stores, you don’t need to buy it off someone. I bought The Lego brand store in a U.K. store before I’d even seen it mentioned on the Internet

But what if it's only for free. D:

Anybody know whether there’s any interiors?

There will be to at least gringotts and the joke shop

[LegoSims20]

I can't believe people have seen this and not bought it

[nikhkin]

I may be mistaken (I did only skim read the article earlier on), but I don't recall it being said that it was for sale / will be for sale. 

I thought the wording was that someone had "found it in a Lego store". That doesn't mean it was on the shelf and up for sale, just that it was at the store. It could be a member of staff took the image, having found them in the store room.

I wish he or she would have asked how much it was or if it was free.

The picture shows it on top of some other HP sets on the display

Anyone can put a box on top of another box. 

As far as I can tell, there was nothing to suggest it was out on display and for sale. 

We shouldn't be making assumptions based on vague wording or mis-translation of what someone said.

No assumptions being made here. I was only relaying what was in the picture, intentionally leaving it open for interpretation. Personally, I think it will be some kind of promo item, possibly being sold regularly at some point but no one really knows until Lego tells us. The fact that there was only one and it was in an odd spot tells me it most likely wasn’t meant to be there at all

Lego Certified Stores don't have those freebies.

They don't do them as freebies, but they sometimes get the sets and sell them.

Even if it was for sale in the certified store, it doesn't mean it will be for sale in regular Lego brand stores and might still be a promo in the real stores.

[LordVoldemort]

I’m positive you’ll be able to get the micro diagon alley even if you’ve already purchased the Hogwarts. 

Im just not sure on what the promo will be or how much it’ll be to purchase.

Can someone explain to me what a Lego certified store is and how it differs from a Lego store?

A little of topic, but I've been wondering ever since I've seen the wand piece. Does it work as a walking cane? I have little interest in Harry potter, but if it works, then I'll need some wands.

It is a bit short...but if you bend the minifigs over somewhat, it looks good. 

[Whovastron]

Will be quite interesting if it is a GWP. As it would make the most sense for it to be with Wizarding World products, but most people willing to spend a lot on these probably already have. It would be a tad annoying for those of us that have bought everything (minus Graves and the Harry polybag myself). Thankfully I want a second Express and Quidditch Set, So should be fine

This whole time I never realized the little peak of goblin desks behind Gringotts. Is it normal to not show the interior on the box? Maybe it’s on the sides of the box design? I wouldn’t be surprised if there were a few microfigures included. It’s just odd that we havent seen that on the box

I highly doubt there are any microfigures, they would be shown on the box

[BacktoBricks]

On a different note, has anybody else found that quite a few of their HP minifigures have very tight clutch power between the torsos and heads? So many of my figures have heads that are just so tight once attached to the torso that they are impossible to move the head even slightly to align the face right and to get the head back off the torso requires a pair of pliers, which of course is not what I want to be doing with my minifigures. 

This to me suggests that either the torso top is fractionally too large or the inside of the head pieces are slightly too small. I would talk to Lego, but I have had so many it seems it is just a general drop in quality.

That is odd, I haven’t noticed anything like that on any of mine and I have all of them

[LegoSims20]

I have finally opened my 71043 and built the boathouse and it is a lovely set and build already. The microfigs look WAY better in real life than on videos/photos.

Yes, I had several whose heads secured way too tightly on first insertion. I managed to unscrew them with my hand, though, and after reinserting them a few times they became looser. I also had a paint issue with my Hermione's face where it wiped clean off with just the touch of my thumb about 24 hours after building her. 

Do you know if you have to bring a child to Smyths tomorrow, @Whovastron ?
