Borex Posted May 16, 2018 I really like all of the sets. I think this is a good time to start collecting HP. Good job lego! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hisstori Posted May 16, 2018 I'm definitely picking up all of 'em! Though, not really a fan of the Quittage set so I'll probably get that on discount. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ultron Posted May 16, 2018 Best wave of all time and there are still two more sets, a cmf series, and a D2C to unveil!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But there's no reason they cant do both. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BrickBob Studpants Posted May 16, 2018 Wow, these sets are absolutely amazing, by far the best HP wave so far The Hogwarts Express is a neat surprise, I guess they couldn't resist including that one in each "reboot" of the theme I'm wondering whether we'll see Hagrid's Hut in the near future as well (next year if the ever-green status change rumors are true?) since that has traditionally gotten the same treatment Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well I am starting to wonder if the Hogwarts express is the so called knight bus and that the Aragog set do not exist Why would they not reveal all HP sets now, but save the smallest?

MAB Posted May 16, 2018 22 minutes ago, Whovastron said: Looking at these sets, I think we can make some educated guesses on who will be in the Minifigure series to accompany the sets: Remember from past tie-in CMF series (TLM, LTNM, LTBM, etc), that the figures included do not always complement sets. They can stick any old figures they like in the CMF series, whether there is a natural set for them to be affiliated with or not. 3 minutes ago, just_one said: but its a lot easier and possible to buy sets during a large space of time than give 400/500€ at once... 1 Get a money box and save up.

I mean, as a fellow person who also doesn't wanna spend a huge chunk of change on a single D2C set, I'd think it would be at least be pretty neat to have a large centerpiece which you can also attach those smaller sets to. It'll also look better on display. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Falconfan1414 Posted May 16, 2018 26 minutes ago, Legocollinfreak said: There was a leak a while back showing the set numbers and names on the lego site. Hogwarts Castle was listed and the Knight Bus. The Knight Bus set number is the same as the Hogwarts Express. So what I'm saying if that was wrong then could that mean Hogwarts Castle is wrong too. Nah Hogwarts is coming. Very very very confident in that Also the box art looks fantasic for the sets Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brickity Posted May 16, 2018 This was a nice surprise, but I am probably the only one who thinks these sets look too "junior" and/or basic. It's probably just the kid minifigs haha. Let's see how the CMFs and hogwarts set turn out though, I feel like they wil be the highlights. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whovastron Posted May 16, 2018 36 minutes ago, deskp said: Um, you can make Quidditch Malfoy with current pieces. If anything the indication is cmf has hufflepuff and ravenclaw players. Yes you can make him, but Lego will very likely want to be able to sell you one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

harleydavid98 Posted May 16, 2018 Personally not a fan of them using the Order-aged characters rather than using the ones for the respective year the set is based on Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m not saying it would be, it’s just an option that they could do. There’s lots of figures you can ‘just make’ and Lego will still make them into sets. It was just a hypothetical idea, geeze Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I don't think they are junior-ised in any way. Edited May 16, 2018 by MAB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrickBob Studpants Posted May 16, 2018 (edited) The box art does look great, nice to once again see a different colour being used in this theme (the last one was red, the one before that teal and the one before that orange-ish) The Wizarding World logo in the corner is also interesting, looks like they might be intending to expand the franchise even beyond Fantastic Beasts?
