mangoshorts Posted May 16, 2018 So excited about Lego Harry Potter again! But I want to say something about the dementors. Both versions has its own charm. Some people has said the old version (the one with the pogo-like lower body piece) is weird. I remember back in time I saw an action figure of a dementor of Mattel that had the same kind of lower body part, but in a realistic style: https://www.amazon.com/Harry-Potter-Azkaban-Dementor-Action/dp/B0001OM1RU And many concept art of the dementors has these kind of mermaid tail-spine: https://www.google.com/search?biw=1920&bih=974&tbm=isch&sa=1&ei=hV_8WpefNezV5gLbrINQ&q=dementor+concept+art&oq=dementor+concept+art&gs_l=img.3...31722.33520.0.33678.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0..0.0....0...1c.1.64.img..0.0.0....0.oWmTKtH71rk#imgrc=pOQ-QP-Vw4qnuM: So, Lego was accurately creepy about "what's under the robe" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CF Mitch Posted May 16, 2018 Wow, these sets are amazing! The level of detail on the torsos, the tiles (paintings, newspapers, posters) and the way they decorated/furnished areas is outstanding! The minifig selection is fantastic as well. So many different civilian torsos Can't wait to see what other sets TLC will bring forth. But I'm sure they'll be spectacular as well!

Legocollinfreak Posted May 16, 2018 I like the whomping willow set but it isn't accurate to the front of the castle where it is connected. Like it works but I'm hoping the D2C corrects the building to make it more correct. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Black Numenorean Posted May 16, 2018 46 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. False. It was a picture from price vortex, not lego website Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roebuck Posted May 16, 2018 14 minutes ago, Robert8 said: They revealed 1 set per movie Quidditch Set -> Sorcerer's Stone Whomping Willow -> Chamber of Secrets Hogwarts Express -> Prisoner of Azkaban That is possible, but I still think it is odd to leave one behind.. Waiting to see boxart from the two sets we knew about, if the piece count is wrong then it is something seriously wrong with earlier leaks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legocollinfreak Posted May 16, 2018 If these are the regular sets it makes me super excited to see the D2C. I wonder if they will announce the missing set, minifigures, fantastic beasts set, and D2C next Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoldenNinja3000 Posted May 16, 2018 31 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... Why can’t you just save that much over time? I’m not rich by any means and already have $220 saved up because I’ve been steadily saving since February. I just have to sacrifice other sets and make sure not to spend too much. They’re going to release an enormous D2C castle for those who can afford it and for those who can’t they’re making sections of the castle in smaller sets. The castle section in the Willow set has more pin holes on the end so something will clearly connect there, too. The front of the Willow set looks very good but I might try buying a second tree on BrickLink to expand it. I’m super happy with this line and I’m very excited to get these sets!

AnnaBuildsLego Posted May 16, 2018 HOT DAMN. These sets are beautiful! I wish the Whomping Willow itself was a bit larger, and that the back of the castle was covered more, but overall there isn't much to complain about. Fantastic stuff. LEGO is out to bankrupt us all.

Whovastron Posted May 16, 2018 For those who will want to mod the tree, I definitely think that just duplicating the part of the build for the branches and adding a second layer of them on top will add a good density to the tree. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deskp Posted May 16, 2018 I think i'll swap out Lupins hair with this one. It does have the raggedy bangs but the peaks work out, and there was several instances of his hair swept back (in later movies). Mr incredible hair would be better but it does not come in a matching color. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joeee Posted May 16, 2018 I think the Gryffindor stand will be able to swing forward in the front for the players to fly in. I'm guessing the back will be open. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm guessing the back will be open. *clip image* I was just about to point that out. The entire front of the Gryffindor stand is different than the other three. Maybe it's so Hermione can "set fire" to Snape's cloak? I don't believe that was the Gryffindor stand but I could be wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Agent Kallus Posted May 16, 2018 (edited) I love all of these, usually my Lego budget is spread across many themes, but I think with what we've seen and heard that HP will take the lion's share. @Joee I think you're righ about that, @Marvelous Spidey that was the slytherin tower , but I think that is also a feature looking at the orange bit on the tower.

KevinMD Posted May 16, 2018 (edited) Is the openable box on the huffle tower for the snitch? and what is the red at the end of the broom? eh, looks like a stud shooter there to shoot the quidditch ball at the goals. Edited May 16, 2018 by KevinMD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hoth Rebel Posted May 16, 2018 If you add 10 euro/pounds on the USA prices, you'll probably get an idea of our prices. That would still be an okay deal, but we'll see in time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
x105Black Posted May 16, 2018 (edited) 3 hours ago, Whovastron said: Hardly something to complain about when most of the figures are insanely accurate with full prints, and tons of new moulds. Big deal 2 characters don’t have leg printing, try being a fan of the Superheroes line... Always something to complain about. Worse conditions in other themes do not excuse anything, they just point out that this is a trend across all themes. 2 hours ago, MAB said: So you'd prefer either more obscure characters in the sets (bad for sales) or doubles of the common characters (in sets and CMFs)? Just higher quality characters in sets would be nice. 7 minutes ago, MAB said: I had already mentioned that on the last page as a play feature. Gratz. Overall, the sets look nice. I like the big castle extension in the tree set. I like the snitch. I like the gold rings. Looking forward to seeing more, and seeing the Hogwarts D2C obviously.
