Previous Quidditch set was $20 and 153 pieces, this one is $40 and 500 pieces, double the price and more than double the pieces, how do you reckon the design will be?

I think it'll be like that Thor Ragnarok set: The hoops, Hooch's podium and spectator stands on each side. We could get a Lee Jordan fig too, if they include that part of the stadium

Could be, if it is it’d be a good idea to get 2 to make a full stand, and then you can make a bigger team with the extra figs

I really hope those plain white legs aren't the final design. Without some boot or shinpad printing, they look REALLY unfinished.

some figs started leaking (not at the usual place though I give them a few hours)

Quirrel with Ron face though
(nearly) headless Nick

I am almost certain both those figures have already been revealed months ago with the great hall set.

This is not a leak because quirrel and sir nicholas are in the great haln. Interessing thing is that the leaker sometimes made fail with the face of Ron for Quirrel. Maybe he did it again with the others minifigs

Hagrid on instagram, if you want to see again this minifig

 

We see that since 3 days, the minifigs has  leaked. Maybe that will force TLC for showing us the set quickly?

Is there anyway to find these images outside of instagram?

I am not a member on intagram, but find the pictures there anyway.. So you do not have to be a member if that is what you mean?!

Yesterday I found a leak first for once (Oliver Wood), but then EB decided to take a nap or something :laugh: Seems like the person who got the figs are not sure which parts there are on all the figs, so some of them may chance a part in the sets, but we see what we basically are getting at least :thumbup:

Oliver looks great. He uses a generic face, but I think it fits him greatly. Torso is amazing, and it's bad to so no leg printing, same with Flint, but I hope they get something like skirt piece or cape's.

Apparently lego is trying to make Harry Potter into a evergreen theme due to the high demand of them!

Guessing you’ve just watched Just2Good’s new video, I hope it does become evergreen, I will indeed love collecting these

Well, on the plus side, if this is an evengreen theme, they have to release Firenze the centaur at something

So, I'm sad and happy (sappy?)

It means that there will be sets coming every year (or half year), even when there are not movies coming. So, like Superheroes or Star Wars

Most themes have short one to three year runs when they're relevant etc like how there are Jurassic set where there's a new film but an evergreen theme is one that is permanent at least until it loses evergreen status.

OH NO! I didn't even think about the CMFS!

But an evergreen theme can't have a lot of CMFs. They would run out of characters soon

They would end up releasing characters like "Yawning Harry" or "Sleeping Hermione"

LEGO is smart. There are not doing this randomly

They know the kids who grew up reading the books are now young adults who can pay for their own stuff, including LEGO sets. So nostalgia will play a huge factor here

Taking that info with a grain of salt, but if it's true than Lego will have completely sold out their own basic values.

The roster going forward would be this:

Castle Harry Potter

Space Star Wars

City Assorted Police Officers

Pirates POTC

CMFS Licensed Themes Bonanza

Every Action theme ever NINJAGO

and one crap"Big Bang" theme every three years.

If Castle isn't ever coming back, they should just be upfront about it because I would like to stop funding them as soon as possible. I'm totally fine with Harry Potter existing, if fact I like the series and I own a few of the 2010 sets. However, if they replace Castle with it then I have no problem buying old sets secondhand and not giving Lego a single penny for the next decade. :tongue:
