And I personally think just like the Helicarrier it will have some figs that are exclusive. DON'T QUOTE ME ON THIS. JUST A THOUGHT. Just want to be clear. Nothing is confirmed yet.

MAB Posted June 19, 2018 It is interesting that AFOLs are complaining about an architecture style set, which could be a decent large small-scale model with no play features. Often AFOLs complain about too many play features, making them appeal to juniors, at the expense of detail. Yet if it is a detailed set based on the architecture, it should have been something else. LEGO was never going to be able to make a full Hogwarts at minifigure scale. If they go minfiigure scale, they miss buildings and correct scale, if they go microscale they miss play features.

Kneel Before Bane Posted June 19, 2018 I really don’t understand making Hogwarts microscale. Why would they ignore what the community wants? Here’s to hoping the bootleggers learn from this and produce something we actually want. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nikhkin Posted June 19, 2018 A lot of people are complaining, but I am sure a lot of people are also happy. Personally, a nano-scale Hogwarts would make a much nicer display piece. As for the UCS / Not-UCS argument. Technically UCS only refers to Star Wars sets, but that doesn't mean the Helicarrier isn't the equivalent of UCS for the Marvel license.

SheldonF Posted June 19, 2018 Nanofigures are like the ones from the Saturn V while Microfigures are 2 studs high. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Micro figs are used usually for board games / Nano figs is used as Antman / Nick Fury / Captain America and Ironman from UCS Helicarrier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Khscarymovie4 Posted June 19, 2018 Wow, well my hope for this set just died down a lot. I liked the helicarrier and I'm sure the set will still be pretty cool but I think it would have been way better if it was a normal set. Oh well, that rumored UCS Cloud City set is looking better now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
