Moreover, the Flash face print from that series was repurposed in a Jurassic World set. I wish they could‘ve done that earlier, would have improved Krum & Cedric significantly Expand Cheers. Agreed, the current Krum face is a head scratcher. No idea why it was chosen, doesn't look like him at all. I preferred the 2005 version. I'm going to feel stupid for asking just as soon as this gets answered, but what's BAM stand for again? I know it refers to the collectible minifig series, but couldn't work out the abbreviation, and it wasn't in the glossary. Ditto 1HY? TIA. Also does everyone looking at the pix of leaks just have an IG account, or is one of the IG viewers working again? Picuki and gramho both have issues lately. (sorry for the OT)

They're the stations at the LEGO Brand Stores where you can build 3 figs for a pretty cheap price. They often get exclusive prints etc. HY stands for Half Year. So 1HY is the first half (january - june) and 2HY is the second half (july - december).
krimimimi Posted December 28, 2020 Posted December 28, 2020 You're a champ. Thanks, @Guyon2002 (I'm very rarely at a lego store, so I don't often see that.)
BrickBob Studpants Posted December 28, 2020 Posted December 28, 2020 I think the leaked mermaid piece is from the upcoming Vidiyo (sp?) theme since one of the codenames was ‚Mermaid‘ after all That would kill the chances of minifigs of famous singers, but oh well... Unless it‘s someone stuck in a mermaid costume for a music video or something On 12/28/2020 at 3:43 PM, Guyon2002 said: This could be the first year of this theme where we don't get any setnames and have to speculate based on figure leaks only, which should definetely be interesting Unless my source suddenly turns up with a list of setnames ofc Expand If that happens, the speculation will be even more insane than this year Bring it on! I thinks it‘s a pretty likely scenario. The only chance I see for set names to pop up earlier than the minifig leaks would be the 2HY retail catalogue. As jdubbs has said a while ago in the SW thread, the lack of toy fairs might force TLG to rely on the catalogues again to present their new line-up to retailers. Depends on whether they‘re willing to take the risk, given that the 1HY catalogue leaked in a spectacular fashion, burning the source forever

I love knowing what's coming very early on so I can properly plan out my purchases but such a leak would effectively ruin most of the discussions and speculation that make the HP thread so fun. But I guess we'll have to wait and see Kinda curious, if you guys could pick one DH related figure for 2021 you would want LEGO to go all out on who (and what variant) would it be? Definetely wedding Fleur for me

Honorable mentions include Narcissa Malfoy, whose previous minifigure set a high bar for detail back in 2011, and Battle of Hogwarts Neville, who would greatly benefit from arm printing. And I agree that wedding Fleur would also be a good choice.

If they cheap out on her and use an existing one that would be really lame

Expand All good choices! Pomfrey, Skeeter and Scrimgeour seem more likely to show up in another CMF series if anything, so I am not expecting to see them next year, but I would be happy to be surprised. I am curious to see how many of the 2021 sets will be Battle of Hogwarts themed, as that would impact the amount of room for DH variants of characters such as Percy and Tonks.

Definetely wedding Fleur for me Expand I know we have had a million figures of the trio. But if I had to choose one! It would hands down be Hermione in the dress she wears to the wedding. Looks amazing in it in the movie. I'd probably even choose this over a completely new figure myself. No want... NEED!
m0repotter Posted December 29, 2020 Posted December 29, 2020 Was able to get the two 2021 Frozen 2 sets (my guilty pleasure theme ) and the new Mandalorian set from Kohl’s. Saw 3 of the new Mario Bros. sets there as well. However, still no sign of the Hogwarts Moment sets!!

Expand Well the cafe lady of course! Such an underrated character But seriously - Grey Lady! Pretty much the last chance for a ghost, as deep down we all know Fat Friar and Bloody Baron are not happening. And if we go all out - use the new satin/opal color on minifig parts, that should make for an interesting looking figure.

Expand Or they can do it on zoom or similar. Apparently Lego usually have a day in Billund where they present the new sets for the next half year for retailers where they can take the time they like and look at the new sets. Instead this year it was one hour presentation on zoom.

Expand The catalogue leaks from a few months ago (which also give us our first looks at the Hogwarts Moments books) came from special retailer catalogues. The owner of the catalogue let some customers take pictures even though he wasn't supposed to and that blew up in his face as those pics found their way online soon after.

A new headmold isn't just a nice extra detail but 100% necessary so it'll happen anyway
Mordarch Posted December 29, 2020 Posted December 29, 2020 So, for the MBoM being available on SaH, will it be a GwP? Or can we just buy it? I want to buy Diagon Alley as soon as it is back in stock and if it's before 1 January, I don't want to miss out on MBoM (have all the other HP sets already).

Lion King Posted December 29, 2020 Posted December 29, 2020 Hmm Aunt Marge in a balloon-like state in minifigure form? I will say - definitely impossible to make a round-shaped minifigure but it would be very interesting to see her appear in set!

TheLegoDr Posted December 29, 2020 Posted December 29, 2020 Or they could use a Bombur minifigure torso/hear cover combo that inflates the body mass? But the Spongebob figure looks the best.
