I have called my local target and they have said they don't know when they are coming in. And they aren't on LS@H. Are you sure that australia is getting them with Europe. Expand Don't want to go too off track into region specific talk, but they're all on the AU S@H site when I look with June 1 release date: https://www.lego.com/en-au/themes/harry-potter. In my three years here now I've never seen the big retailers actually know anything about the products they carry, and they're nearly never on the websites in advance. Last wave I found the Clock Tower at a David Jones almost to the day it was supposed to be released, and it wasn't on their website yet as I recall. It was pure luck. I reckon the certified stores will have them on the release date, if you're near one of those. At least before Covid, they were pretty good with release dates. Haven't been since. Now this is probably getting annoying to all of the non-Australians
diagonalley Posted May 26, 2020 Posted May 26, 2020 Anyone have experience ordering from Zavvi being U.S. based? I have followed this thread forever and am extremely excited for the new wave and want them June 1 or soon after...not August. ?

sebastian666 Posted May 26, 2020 Posted May 26, 2020 Slightly off topic here, but I recently started playing the LEGO Harry Potter video game to pass the time and, in Year 6, we get a glimpse of the Harry, Ron, and Hermione minifigs in what I predict will be their D2C Diagon Alley looks. I imagine we’ll also get them in their Year 2 looks (hopefully complete with black capes). I’m curious to hear how many versions of Harry, Ron, and Hermione folks think we’re going to get in the D2C Diagon Alley set?

Expand I think we'll get two minifigures for Harry (one from PS and one from HBP) and then just the HPB variants of Ron and Hermione. Unless Lego wants to recreate the scene from COS at Flourish and Blotts I'd say they wouldn't include the other Chamber of Secrets versions of the characters.

Legoniche Posted May 26, 2020 Posted May 26, 2020 I just had a Dream that said we’ll be getting 16 minifigures in the D2C diagon alley- just wanted to put that here in case we actually do get 16 haha, that would be weird, if that’s the case: harry PS hagrid 2x goblins Ollivander Lockhart lucius malfoy arthur Weasley molly Weasley Ginny harry HBP ron HBP hermione HBP fred HBP George HBP draco malfoy HBP left overs: draco COS Narcissa malfoy bellatrix Fenrir tom the innkeeper random wizards
BrickBob Studpants Posted May 26, 2020 Posted May 26, 2020 (edited) I don‘t get why people are worried about the potential of multiple versions of characters being in the set. The way I see it, they‘d be a bonus Since there‘s no fixed rule about the amount of minifigs a set should have, a second Harry for instance wouldn‘t automatically mean there‘d now be a minifig we don’t get but would have gotten otherwise. I can‘t see the designers go like „Should we include Lucius here?“ „Nah, throw in another Harry instead“. That‘s not really how it works Edited May 26, 2020 by Lego-Freak

Tommy269 Posted May 27, 2020 Posted May 27, 2020 I was thinking about certain minifigures that would be hard to get out of the sets. One really stuck out to me. Seeing that aunt Marge isn't in the PD, is it a possibility that she will come in the cmf. I remember TLG often putting characters in licenced CMFs that would add on to the sets in the same wave. E.G. Draco in quiditch uniform with the quiditch match, prof. sprout with the green house. Although we haven't head anything about her, I an see it as a possibility.
