Just because the sets haven’t been revealed yet doesen’t mean they are cancelled. That is like saying the Ninjago, Marvel, and Friends sets have been cancelled.

Environmental and thermal conditions play a big role when it comes to long-term stability of adhesives. Edit: Concerning the cracks and disintegration of the paper: Did you by any chance leave your sets with the stickers in a room with prolonged exposure by direct sunlight through a window? Expand I already installed blinds about ten years ago to prevent exposure of the models to direct sunlight. I still notice that in some cases stickers on the front of a model are affected slightly earlier than the stickers on the back side though, so exposure to light does seem to be a factor.

Expand Which colors do those stickers have? Areas that are printed with different colors also seem to be affected differently. White areas almost always crack and peel off, while areas printed in other colors such as black or brown sometimes aren't affected at all, even if they're adjacent. Here's an example I already posted in the quality reference thread when the stickers of my Batcave set started showing the first signs: Edited April 22, 2020 by Graupensuppe
RogueTwo Posted April 22, 2020 Posted April 22, 2020 So I'm confused. Is there going to be a Ministry Battle set or some other unknown set, or do we presumably already know everything that's coming in 2020?

And while it may sound tempting to remove the Anglia from the set and use its budget on Privet Drive itself it really wouldn't be much bigger than it's going to be. Hagrid's motorbike would be a weird inclusion imo, especially considering the Dursleys don't even appear in that scene. Expand I know it was rumored, but i still had small hopes until we get it confirmed in pics. Lego is really good to do sets that's not accurate. Dobby isn't appear in this seen, but if the rumor is true we will get him anyway in the set.

There’ve been no physical leaks of the D2C, but that’s to be expected since it’s coming months later.

So far no reliable leakers have stayed there will be a Ministry Battle.

It’s not as explicitly stated in the movie as the books, but logic does dictate that the locks and window bars couldn’t have been fitted on the same day the Dursley’s had their dinner guests.

From a selfish point of view, I hope there is not a retailer exclusive; I don't even know if I can afford the current arrangement. I just preordered the book with the exclusive Tom Riddle, though! Regarding Dobby's inclusion in the Privet Drive set, it doesn't bother me one bit. I do miss Fred and George, though.
8fifty Posted April 22, 2020 Posted April 22, 2020 Ok guys. I just got the information from a media page that I should come back "next weekend" for the HP set reveals. So that obviously means we'll get the pictures in the meantime. The big question is now: What exactly is meant by "next" weekend? I'm not quite sure because some German people use the term "next" weekend if they mean "this" one while others mean the next but one - it's confusing, does this incidence exist in English as well? Nevertheless, it feels to be sometime next week. If he mentions the weekend it might rather be at the end of the week than at the beginning. But that's speculation again which I don't go to the stake for. Just wanted to let you know what I know and what is written publicly.

Expand Usually the upcoming weekend is called "this weekend" and the one after is "next weekend". This would mean we don't get anything until May. I hope your media page is wrong, or misspoke or something. Have we ever waited until May for images of a June HP wave before? With the polybag already revealed I don't think LEGO will wait that long to reveal the main sets. Maybe the full wave will be revealed May 2nd with most sets being revealed earlier like how we had to wait for official images of the Knight Bus last year.
autolycus Posted April 23, 2020 Posted April 23, 2020 Would Lego want things coming out during the May 1-4 Star Wars promos? If it's coming in the next 2 weekends, I would guess this upcoming one, April 24-26.

Balrogofmorgoth Posted April 23, 2020 Posted April 23, 2020 I feel like this weekend makes more sense, my guess is that’s what it means, probably Saturday. That means only two more days of this
