I just hope this series will continue as I want new Hagrid hut with new Norbert AND Fang. you gotta be joking right? in terms of minifigures per set this is what LEGO should do in EVERY license(looks at Marvel & DC Sets) they have. grand hall for 100€ and have 10 ... FREAKIN TEN minifigures for only a 100€! Whomping Willow Tree and Hogwards Express has 6 each Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn’t say it is horrible but we do get a lot of the same minigures which can be repetitive as we have got the Harry Ron combo in all but one set but then again we did get loads of cool exclusive mini figures so I guess your kind of right but kind off wrong at the same time.

Hoth Rebel Posted May 24, 2018 Everybody should understand that most children (yes, they are targetted at children) only get one or two sets. If they put exclusive figures in every set, I wouldn't be fun for the kids/parents as they would need to buy multiple expensive sets to get the core characters. This way people can buy the cheap Aragog set and still have Harry + Ron. I understand that they don't have exclusive prints, which they could have done, but they're already going all in on this theme so I guess that would keep the budget down. Especially if the face prints match the set. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MAB Posted May 24, 2018 When it comes to exclusive prints, this range is already pretty good anyway. Last time around, the same HP in uniform torso was in just about every set and used for every kid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is a bummer that we get the same minifigs in this set, but it should be expected to get a lot of Harry Potter minifigs, as he is the title character. It is just like the Lego Batman Movie sets, in which 20 of the 24 sets included Batman with only 4 variants (only facial expressions were different, the torso, legs and cowl were all the same). In the end these are toys made for kids (granted there is a growing number of sets that are targeting AFOLs), and kids want a Batman, or a Harry when they are playing. As an AFOL these sets need to be appreciated for what they includes for builds and non Harry minifigs, and just accept the Harry minifig as an bonus piece that you get.

People seem to be misunderstanding, the issue isn’t that we get multiple Harry Potters and Ron Weasleys, it’s the fact that we get 2 of the EXACT same Harry and Ron’s, in 2 completely different sets and 1 of them is incredibly inaccurate, people are happy to be getting Harry & Ron, but give us Harry & Ron accurate to the film the set is based on Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The alternative may well be that they could have done another couple of prints for Harry and Ron, but something else would have been removed from one of these sets, or a couple of other characters removed or given existing generic prints.

So be it, Harry is the main character, if no one else has accurate printing he should, why does Hermione get accurate printing but not Harry? We could easily sacrifice having Snape in one set for the price of 2 lots of new printing, hell, we could even lose the trolley witch, she easily could’ve been in a CMF which everyone is quick to point out gets a hell of a budget Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think kids care too much what Harry is wearing in a particular scene, I don't think many compare it to the movie and decide they cannot play with it because he is in the wrong clothes for the same scene in the movie. I imagine most wouldn't even be able to tell you what the exact clothes were that he had on if you pick a scene at random, aside from school uniform, quidditch outfit, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deskp Posted May 24, 2018 Since the express is the expensive set Harry and Ron should of had film 3 prints. The cheap set could have reused the ones from willow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you @deskp, someone who see sense, that is my point, it’s a more expensive set so you should get more accurate minifigs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zegodhand Posted May 24, 2018 Maybe a leaky cauldron set later on along with a knight bus could remedy that... Still sucks for the time being, I agree. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't make sense of your logic here.Harry is in every set, if he always gets prioritised then the other minifigs will be dull, I'd rather a line of HP sets with great figs overall and a few inaccurate Harrys than a line with a new harry for every scene but subpar figs for the others. I'm glad Hermione gets accurate printing here over Harry because they'll have more opportunities to make that Harry, and we'll end getting more Harry variants than Hermiones anyway.

A $20 set would have been better so they could give him the Shelob treatment. Or even a £40 set. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zegodhand Posted May 24, 2018 Aragog is smaller than shelob by a good margin, but yeh. More pieces for lengthier legs could have solved this issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
