From the creepy 2005-2007 ones I like Snape, Harry and Umbridge. Expand Agree with you for snape umbridge. Yeah I also liked 2010 ones now they dont fit with the new ones and I have figures that have not been released yet with the new wave but cant combine them
Balrogofmorgoth Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 I really don’t understand why people don’t like using the Finn hairpiece for Krum. It’s undeniably the closest thing to a buzz cut we have, certainly better than the slicked back style they used to use as a buzz cut. There really isn’t a hair piece that works better for Krum, there just isn’t

If we do I hope LEGO gives her a new face print and a printed dress piece. Expand Which dress would you want the figure to use? The slim regular one or that large one they made for the CMF 15 Queen? I think a wedding set is quite likely actually: it fits the target demographics and ‘dollhouse’ style going on and is the best remaining ‘party’ scene they can base the 2022 Advent Callander on (Luna in her dress an exclusive figure for example?)

Vindicare Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 For anyone in the States looking for the new polybag, I found it at JoAnns Fabrics. I didn’t really want it, but I was rather excited at the surprise of finding it so I grabbed one.

If the only figure of Fleur in her wedding dress we're getting is one with that CMF piece I'd rather not get that figure at all

lego_guyon02 Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 Not sure if this was ever pointed out but if you look very closely at the leaked pictures of the books from a while back you'll notice 2 (minifigure) books in the Transfiguration and Potions sets. Could definetely be a placeholder but to me it looks like we're getting 2 new 1x2 tiles for those!

Anyway, looking again at those pictures I noticed Cho’s skin color is still the same, I thought they had changed it to be more accurate when the blurrier ones came out.
sebastian666 Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 Can anyone point me in the direction of those leaked images of the new book sets? I’ve tried all the usual hashtags on Instagram but they must be buried so far down by now that I can’t find them. Any help would be much appreciated.

If that fig is from one of the books I'm definitely getting that one. Expand Looks fantastic and I like that we are getting a few different wizard/witch hats now that can be used for figs in DA etc I guess the other books will have a updated nice fig as well. However I would have preferred if they only included figs from the house of the teacher in each book instead of putting the Gryffindors in every set as usual

Not so much from the perspective of the target audience. The trio will always be more desirable to kids compared to random students from the other houses, especially in cheap sets like these It’s not a big loss anyway in this particular case, I mean which Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw students do we really need apart from the ones we already have?
