On 8/20/2018 at 12:45 PM, Balrogofmorgoth said: Agreed. Hogwarts in microscale makes sense. Diagon Alley in micro scale would never make sense at any level.

I was right about Hogwarts d2c having a ton of interiors and I’m right about this. I hope I won’t be attacked next time haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nikhkin Posted August 23, 2018 10 minutes ago, LegoSims20 said: This type of scale is what I LOVE as just a mini model that isn't too expensive. I wish they'd have made a full Hogwarts like this instead of the hybrid 71043. I'm confused about what you want. Hogwarts is miniature and in a somewhat similar scale to this Diagon Alley.

joeee Posted August 23, 2018 The Diagon Alley is such a cute build! I can't wait to have it. ( It will be so fun to build on my cramped desk. I won't have to worry about space lol! ) I have to say, microscale builds remind me of paintings. Up close, one can see each paint brush or each 1 x 1 piece. But from afar or blurred vision, they look really great in how it all meshes together...and the set sometimes can seem bigger than it is! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But the actual Diagon Alley set if we get one down the road will not be microscale. I think we all know that’s what we were talking about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although part of me hopes they save a system scale Gringotts for a Deathly Hallows set Sith the dragon. Unless they just included the dragon in a Diagon Alley set that encompassed all the films. That would be ideal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LegoSims20 Posted August 23, 2018 What if we're all wrong and the twist is that there is a UCS system scale Diagon Alley and this is the free gift!? :O Haha but anyway, this set is lovely and I will get one no matter what I have to do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roebuck Posted August 23, 2018 1 hour ago, LegoFjotten said: As promo sets go, I think it's pretty cool! Relatively large, boxed, with a (so far) unique figure. Sure beats a small polybag with 30-40 pieces and a repeat minifig. However.... I hope this is the last Harry Potter microscale set we will see in a looooooong time. My thoughts exactly, no more micro-scale; Lego! This gives us a new minifig so that is fine, but I would have preferred a system-scale set e.g. a part of Ollivanders wand shop..

I was thinking that as well, would certainly be over the moon if that was the case lets hope ?? So there’s no way Lego is not going to make a system scale diagon alley, so this ollivander can’t remain exclusive to this set Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Balrogofmorgoth Posted August 23, 2018 Honestly, a Harry Potter Architecture style series would be cool if and only if they went alongside the system sets and didn’t replace them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That would be ideal Ooooh, yes! They should definitely break up Diagon Alley into multiple sets. We could have one set about Weasley's Wizard Wheezes, one Ollivander's, one for Gringott's . . and then the inevitable D2C could include Flourish and Blott's and Borgin and Burkes'.

If they had advertised it in the September calendar, they wouldn’t have had any success with the early VIP release because everyone would have just waited. So it’s possible that it was just an economical move Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrickBob Studpants Posted August 23, 2018 Interesting choice for a promo set, but I'm all for it as long as it's not that much of hassle to acquire it The amount of detail is amazing for a set of this size and I really like the use of TLBM Robin's head for the Weasley shop Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
