BrickBob Studpants Posted June 12, 2020 Posted June 12, 2020 Falconfan usually made this type of countdown whenever a new leak had shown up, right? We should definitely keep our expectations in check, but this does sound exciting
BigHobbit Posted June 12, 2020 Posted June 12, 2020 Yep, I'm waiting for Falconfan's countdown myself...maybe it has to do with US Dates?

Actually nevermind, the site don’t look trustworthy after reading some reviews. Expand Zavvi is great and is part of The Hut Group, a huge group of UK retailers. It’s fine.
BacktoBricks Posted June 12, 2020 Posted June 12, 2020 Falconfan must know that anything less than new D2C or CMF information and we will be totally underwhelmed. ?
Modal Posted June 12, 2020 Posted June 12, 2020 (edited) Ugh now I'm getting excited for DA news Edit: Looks like I was right! He just posted DA coming Sep. 2020, $399 Edited June 12, 2020 by Modal
RogueTwo Posted June 12, 2020 Posted June 12, 2020 I swear to God, if the announcement is an imminent US release date, I'm going to hate myself for cheaping out and ordering sets without minifigures... It's...a Diagon Alley confirmation that we already knew about?
BrickBob Studpants Posted June 12, 2020 Posted June 12, 2020 It's a (re-)confirmation of the set number, the price tag, the release date and that it's (probably) minifig-scale

If it's microscale, I think they're going to lose a lot of sales. Not trying to reopen the same can of worms, just saying...

Legopls Posted June 12, 2020 Posted June 12, 2020 I was hoping for a bit more info but I guess it’s nice to finally see it confirmed.

Expand Personally, since I would use this set as more of a show piece, I don't mind either way. But I totally understand why minifig would be preferred. At least if it's microscale we would get to cover a lot of the alley.

Falconfan1414 Posted June 12, 2020 Posted June 12, 2020 People thought 75978 wasn’t the d2c or diagon ally so

And writing it down on an IG post doesn't confirm anything as we all know. It's just a matter of who you trust. Edited June 12, 2020 by BacktoBricks
Balrogofmorgoth Posted June 12, 2020 Posted June 12, 2020 Nice to have the set and price confirmed and finally have a confirmed set number for it

Expand Same here haha, especially considering there was a whole discussion on here last week about what it could be other than DA
lego_guyon02 Posted June 12, 2020 Posted June 12, 2020 I could've done without this ''reveal'', nothing new here except for reconfirmation of something we've known for months now

People were so confused. It’s all just confirmation
sebastian666 Posted June 12, 2020 Posted June 12, 2020 Quick update for the US folks ordering from abroad: I ordered the Forbidden Forest centaurs set from Brickshop on Tuesday 6/9 and it just arrived. Looks amazing! I ordered the Room of Requirement and the Hedwig set on the same day from Steinchenwelt and it is scheduled for delivery on Monday 6/15. And I ordered the Astronomy Tower from Zavvi yesterday (after canceling an overpriced eBay order) and it’s already shipped. Also big thank you to @Falconfan1414 for confirming the good news about the D2C Diagon Alley set! Can’t wait to see some pics!
