YetiZombie Posted July 29, 2020 Posted July 29, 2020 Honestly, as much as I've wanted more of DA to leak, it would've diminished the excitement we'll get when the set gets revealed soon. The two minifigure leaks we got were basically confirmation that DA exists and it'll be minifig scale, but I love the fact that we don't know anything outside of that (and the price of course). I've only been following this thread for a couple months, but I can't imagine how DA reveal day will feel for people who have been here for longer

BrickBob Studpants Posted July 29, 2020 Posted July 29, 2020 (edited) Seeing the „HOT!”-flair/tag/whatever attached to this thread makes me feel bad for the people who come in thinking something might have been revealed, but then again, they probably should know better by now Edited July 29, 2020 by Lego-Freak

Roebuck Posted July 29, 2020 Posted July 29, 2020 I love a leak as much as the next guy, but if the reveal is this week or similar I think it is best if Lego gets the honour to show the set in all its glory first
Modal Posted July 29, 2020 Posted July 29, 2020 Yea I saw the Thread was hot and got really. Man we’re so good at being able to talk about nothing but hey I understand, the DA hype is real!

Everyone can make the decision for themselves ofc but ''you won't be disappointed'' no longer means anything to me I agree. And @Falconfan1414 never confirmed that he saw the sets. In fact, his response to folks who were assuming he had was that their assumptions were wrong. I don’t think we will be disappointed because we really haven’t been majorly disappointed by anything LEGO has done with this series. But I think everyone can make that decision for themselves.

The DA hype is all from the Q&A and us making guesses on when they’ll release the video of that, but we’re right down to the wire of the typical CMF reveal window too. If the reveal doesn’t happen tomorrow, Friday, or Monday it’s going to start verging into ‘worryingly late’, so we all no it could drop any time and that makes us antsy.

Falconfan1414 Posted July 29, 2020 Posted July 29, 2020 I’ll stand by the helicarrier being a amazing set in my book. But I’ll clarify, i have heard a bunch about diagon alley, and it sounds like a enjoyable set that a lot of people will love
TeriXeri Posted July 29, 2020 Posted July 29, 2020 (edited) If the DA is anything like the 2011 version, or bigger (more buildings), certainly might be interested. I normally don't collect Harry Potter, but buildings similar scale to the 2011 set would fit nicely with other lego buildings at what I call "Creator 3-in-1 scale", smaller then modulars but still nice buildings.

This isn't relevant to the topic, but I had no idea that @Falconfan1414 worked at lego, unless I am misunderstanding this comment. It would explain a lot tho

Regardless, I’m 100% sure LEGO is aware that there are leakers out there. Sorry for the potentially misleading and irrelevant post. :)

I know DA will be pretty big for Lego CMFs generally don’t get big video announcements from what I’ve seen. Lego just tends to drop the pictures on their social media within a certain timeframe (the most recent series being an exception because it was shown at toy fair). With that in mind, I could definitely see Lego posting the CMF pictures one morning and releasing the DA announcement/Q&A interview in the afternoon (with maybe the designers talking about elements of the a CMF in their answers), since CMF reveals are never really promoted like D2C or Ideas reveals.

Ringwraith Posted July 29, 2020 Posted July 29, 2020 Firstly, we really have to improve the puns on this page. Secondly, from what I understand there is no DA announcement expected soon while a CMF announcement is expected somewhat shortly
Accio Lego Posted July 29, 2020 Posted July 29, 2020 So I’ve noticed that Funko’s 2018 Harry Potter advent calendar featured Harry and Ron in their Christmas jumpers, just like lego’s 2019 Harry Potter advent calendar. And then Funko’s 2019 calendar was Yule Ball themed and this year’s Lego calendar is as well. Using that logic, could Funko’s just revealed Harry Potter advent calendar for this year give us clues for next year’s Lego advent calendar? (Not that I think Lego is copying Funko, but if both companies are using the same logic and formulas to determine which Harry Potter Christmases will be the most marketable...)
BacktoBricks Posted July 29, 2020 Posted July 29, 2020 All I remember about the last HP CMF reveal was that the promo showed them photographed on the ground of the DA set of Warner Bros studios.

If not, I can’t imagine it will be any later than a week or two.
