AnnaBuildsLego Posted May 18, 2018 (edited) Apologies if this has been covered before - but is it possible that Ollivander could be a promotional figure when the wave launches? I know that people were suggesting that his minifigure could be included with an upcoming book (which I do think is pretty likely), but I'm just putting the possibility out there given that we were talking about promos?

I don’t see why not, personally I could see anything happening with this wave at the minute bearing in mind went from Knight Bus to Hogwarts Express ?, and we might not be even getting Aragog (I hope to god that we do get him) Edited May 18, 2018 by harleydavid98 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BrickBob Studpants Posted May 18, 2018 (edited) Releasing Ollivander now is weird either way, if I were them I would have saved him for a Diagon Alley set like they did last time. His outfit is pretty much the same in all of his appearances so they couldn't really release an exclusive variant of his in other sets (though, as I have to admit, that hasn't stopped TLG before *cough* Unkar Plutt's "book-exclusive" henchman *cough*). One could argue that the same goes for some of the other non-set characters like Umbridge and Slughorn, but those two have several different outfits throughout the films Edited May 18, 2018 by Lego-Freak Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Too old to be in an FB set, Ollivander would’ve been younger than Newt (Ollivander born 1908, Newt born 1897) so he’d have brown hair and look a lot younger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh I’ve got ya, I misunderstood, normally I’d say I hope so because the more Harry Potter the better, but unfortunately there are only 2 FB sets coming out and 1 of them hasn’t been revealed yet and includes at least Tina and Newt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If there were more than 2 sets I’d happily sacrifice them for more HP sets, especially one with a more up to date Dobby (RIP), but as it is, 2 is fine with me, it’s not taking up too many slots, especially with how many big sets we’re getting Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any reason why? I generally dislike when minifigures are displaced across timeline so much, since they don't quite go together. Like breaking up a set. He does have different outfits in the flashbacks though. Edited May 18, 2018 by deskp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Like breaking up a set. No reason other than the fact the image makes him look like the younger version, tbh the face print might look older so then I’d accept it, but with the images we’ve got I can’t really see any “old” detailing, I must admit it’d make me excited if it is young Slughorn because I could make a display that I’ve always wanted to, a slip scene with the 2 Slughorns (old and young) back to back and Harry and Tom in the exact position either side of them In fact ya know what, I’m gonna sound like a massive hypocrite but I just found a more clear picture and zoomed in and I can see the crow’s feet and wrinkles to show that it’s old Slughorn, a new hair piece when I get him methinks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
