It's hardly Lego's fault. Toys R Us went out of business and they were stuck with a promotional item they needed to find a new distributor for.

It's not as simple as asking a company if they fancy having it, it involves a lot of new contracts and negotiations.

We're lucky they've managed to sort anything out at all.

As someone who lives in a place that's never had a Toys R Us - or a Lego store, Entertainer, Smyths, or Argos, I'm used to never having easy access to Bricktober packs but I've always thought it a bit ridiculous that Lego make a set for retail that they don't sell on their own website. After all, they make the product!! (it's like they don't want my money!!) :wink:

One of the leakers/ leak aggregators on IG claims that 5 Wizarding World sets are coming this Winter, without providing any additional info... Doesn't seem to be based on the previous list, so let's hope they're right :thumbup:

I am the source on that figure. We are getting at least - possibly more - five sets in the Winter of 2019. I don't know much about them, and I cannot share any more information at this juncture.

But you say 2019...

So what is the truth? Please clarify!

@LegoSims20: By "Winter 2019" we mean the time span between December 2018 and February 2019 :wink:

The other person says IN though.

@Azani Can you clarify, are you meaning IN or BY winter 2019?

I mean that there will be five sets seeing a release between December of this year and February or March of the next, depending on your region. I don't mean "five sets seeing a release between August and December".

TLG treats that interval as the "Winter" of the new year; thus, I do as well. :) Winter of 2019 is this next winter.

WOAH.

I wonder what they will be and when they will be released. I freakin' hope at least one will be out for Christmas, but I doubt it. 

I wonder if that means Lego had them ready in case this wave was popular. I just hope they don't saturate the market.

I didn't know this was how Lego works so thanks @Azani and @Lego-Freak

Oh my god

So, the rumored Quidditch lesson set is one of them?

Maybe this was meant to be a summer 2019 wave but they pushed it up due to the theme doing extremely well.

That's what I thought.

I wonder if a full-scale Diagon Alley will be one. I hope we get at least one more part of Hogwarts this year/early next.

It has been confirmed that that listing was for the original Quidditch set released, so we will not be receiving another Hogwarts Quidditch set.

Otherwise, I would assume that this rumored wave would include some Year 3-4 sets and a spoiler-based Fantastic Beasts set(s).

I hope for Hagrid's Hut, Myrtle's bathroom, Diagon Alley, Gryffindor Common Room and something else nice.

Please no FB or GoF (unless it's the Yule Ball) sets.

No. There is no rumored "Quidditch Lesson" set. A very inattentive person must have posted a screenshot of a listing for a 2002 Quidditch set on Instagram, and apparently, at least a few people were fooled by it.

How are you guys displaying your 71043 Hogwarts castle? I just finished mine and have no idea where to put it.

I’ve got a long, thin table in my living room that sits in front of a window. I put my castle on there. The boathouse hangs over the couch a little but the castle pretty much fits.

My friends brother works for Lego and he told me that Lego is planning on releasing a hagrids hut, he had this to say ‘the build includes the two hut builds, a pumpkin patch side build including a new printed and moulded buckbeak, a new hagrid variant, reflecting his prisoner of Azkaban costume, Harry in prisoner of Azkaban casual clothes, Hermione in prisoner of Azkaban clothes with printed time turner on torso and a 1x1 round tile with printed time turner, as well as a Ron Weasley in prisoner of Azkaban casual clothes and a Draco Malfoy with a torso near identical to Ron’s CMF torso except in slytherin style and appears to use professor flitwicks hair in a yellow/blonde/tan colour’

If this is real I wish they included the executioner or Cornelius Fudge. 

But this sounds awesome nontheless!

This was never going to happen. Too dark.
