I mean I can picture what the duelling club set would look like in my head (it looks good btw) I just feel there are bigger priorities and better set options at the the present, assuming the theme lasts 3 years+ I can see it coming a bit later down the road when the great hall is retiring Andy when most of the important sets are done and Lego a are making sets on specific scenes rather than just getting the locations and vehicles done

Agreed, I really hope they do more important sets for a while. That would kinda feel like a wasted slot for right now. I would get it of course and I’m sure it would be great but I would rather see different sets at this point

Exactly, I agree, but same I’ll take whatever they put out.

There’s a reliable source saying that it’s summer, which I’m not too disappointed by. 

[Falconfan1414]

I don’t think it was ever confirmed it was winter just that there was a good possibility that 4 sets are coming for Harry Potter at some point

I thought it was supposed to be five? And I didn’t see anything on IG about it, do you know where this new info came from?

Agreed, I have a good deal of catching up to do with Star Wars sets so I’m glad to wait til June for more HP

Not from any reliable source I have seen at least

It backs up what the store owner told me (see post higher up on this page)..

But summer 2019 is not bad, was sure we would get a second wave either in 2019 or worst case 2020 for the next FB film, now we probably get a 3 wave in 2020 instead

I’m pretty sure it was Azani that said there was a winter wave. Some of you guys would probably know much better than I would if he’s reliable or not. I’m still just trying to keep track of all the leakers

And Dimaks must have taken the photo down already because I can’t find it anywhere. He doesn’t keep leaks up very long if I remember correctly

Edit: Found it on his story, funny thing is he specifically says HP sets are summer releases, I’m wondering if Lego still plans on releasing a couple FB sets for winter to along with the new movie

Yeah I’m pretty sure it was Azani who said 5, and said Winter specifically

As is mine. It is still recovering from the D@C Hogwarts.

Just dropped my money on Cloud City so in the same boat. 

[BrickBob Studpants]

Bummer  I'm glad we're getting addiotional sets at all, but a wave of releases so soon would have been really awesome... Patience is a virtue, I guess 

[spiderfan2000]

I was really hoping for a winter wave, but I'm still looking forward to getting more sets regardless.

Does anyone know when Hogwarts Castle will be available for other retail sellers, and not only through lego.com?

It won’t be, D2C, Lego store/online store only

Well in Norway the MF and a lot of other D2C are available in different shops, so I see no reason the same will not apply for the HC as well.. Give it a few months

Availible at Amazon and John Lewis in the U.K.

- Amazon is unconnected sellers, they often result in a price hike of roughly £100-200. Not worth buying from Amazon.
- John Lewis does not sell it, at least not officially by the looks of things

I'm not surprised the winter wave rumors turned out to be fake. It was way too soon to have another wave.

The price on Amazon was less than retail recently

Me too! Even though the sets are selling like hot cakes, Lego is following a plan so they can not just flick their wand and have a new wave magically appear.. The good sales could affect waves further down the road, so they get green lighted and or get more sets in them
