GoldenNinja3000 Posted June 4, 2018 Posted June 4, 2018 Great set! I like the brick built animals a lot and I now feel bad for ever doubting Lego’s ability to make them amazing. The molded heads with the brick built bodies work great and the Occamy and Thunderbird look gorgeous. The recolored wings are amazing and the Erumpent looks good too! I’m a big fan of how the suitcase folds up and the interior details are amazing. The cherry on top would’ve been a small Occamy but I think it would require a new mold so I’m fine without it, or maybe a representation of the Obscurus Newt has in his case. Quote
Falconfan1414 Posted June 4, 2018 Posted June 4, 2018 Wow the suitcase is amazing. Much different from what I expected for it. The beasts are amazing builds. One of the better Harry Potter sets of this year. Quote
SuperChris Posted June 4, 2018 Posted June 4, 2018 Blow away by the suitcase. From the rumours, it sounded like an easy pass for me. But those brick built figures look great and the design is so clever. Quote

Still a must-buy for me, but I might have to wait for a sale... Quote
ItamatTheGreat Posted June 4, 2018 Posted June 4, 2018 I think the suitcase is perfect for what it is, but still I would rather the harry potter sets, as thpse are situations and this ia more of a celebration of great animal builds. It's great, but not a must bouy for me. Quote

Yeah, I know that $50 is expensive for some, I myself will hopefully be picking it up day 1, I just need to find all the GBP prices so I can work out how much I need for my trip to the Lego store ?

Kim-Kwang-Seok Posted June 4, 2018 Posted June 4, 2018 not a big fan of FB and I really dislike most of the minifigures. Newt's face looks just wrong - like a 45 year old and the hairpiece is also a weird choice. Even Anakins or Jay's new hairpieces would have been much much better. However this set is the only absolute safe buy for me. EVERY animal looks just amazing! Consistent in colours, unique in design and everything! And I really look forward of having a Lego suitcase standing in my living room except for the figures: best set so far Quote

8BrickMario Posted June 4, 2018 Posted June 4, 2018 Whoa, I'm surprised by how good that is! The case actually folds up into a proper-looking model and then turns into a playset! The only creature that doesn't look great is the Erumpent, but the Occamy and Thunderbird look good. The use of the pin-stud as the teapot lid is very clever. Hopefully we'll get more magical creatures in the future, though it's nice that we get a screen-accurate invisible Dougal the Demiguise! Quote

Personally I will not be surprised if they fit inside.. 1 hour ago, Aethersprite said: Yikes, $50? Still a must-buy for me, but I might have to wait for a sale... Well supposedly it has 694 pieces I always wait for sales when buying Lego 18 minutes ago, 8BrickMario said: though it's nice that we get a screen-accurate invisible Dougal the Demiguise! For once a rumour was correct in this tread! It is no secret that I prefer moulded animals over brick built, but the designers have done a good job with them here. It is also a good chance we will get a moulded Occamy in a "normal" size in a future CMF or set I think.. If not the HP/FB sets sell like hot cakes both to kids and AFOLs I will be very surprised; what a line-up of sets Lego have given us (and we are still missing CMF and D2C) Quote

scatmanjack Posted June 4, 2018 Posted June 4, 2018 So it looks like Dimensions Fantastic Beasts Sets have exclusive prints as suitcase set figures are different... Quote

MAB Posted June 4, 2018 Posted June 4, 2018 1 hour ago, LegoLord54 said: Where was it confirmed to be $50 ? I don't think it has been officially confirmed. But Hogwarts Great Hall is 899 kr (Den) and $99.99 US (both confirmed). As this is half that, it is likely to be $50 unless they are playing games with the pricing of different sizes sets, which sometimes does happen (different exchange rates for different sized sets). Although it seems the US prices are already discounted anyway compared to Denmark/Europe - For the Great Hall, for example, 900 kr = 140 USD, and remove the Danish VAT (140 * 0.8) = 112 USD. So I doubt the Suitcase will go below $50. Quote
LegoLord54 Posted June 4, 2018 Posted June 4, 2018 (edited) Do people think that £40 would be a safe bet for UK pricing? Edited June 4, 2018 by LegoLord54 Quote

MAB Posted June 4, 2018 Posted June 4, 2018 6 minutes ago, LegoLord54 said: Do people think that £40 would be a safe bet for UK pricing? £45 is probably more likely, as 450 kr is £53: take off their VAT and add on ours, £51. It might be £50, but then 70612 Green Ninja Mech Dragon is £45, and also 449 kr. Quote
AnnaBuildsLego Posted June 4, 2018 Posted June 4, 2018 Wow! Really impressed with the suitcase set! I wasn't expecting to like it so much, but it looks absolutely fantastic. The designers on this HP/Fantastic Beasts wave have done a killer job across the board. Quote
LegoLord54 Posted June 4, 2018 Posted June 4, 2018 I hope we get a normal Lego brown suitcase as that would look really cool like they did for that Antman set back in 2015 where they did large and small Lego builds as that would be the cherry on top for this set. Quote
spiderfan2000 Posted June 4, 2018 Posted June 4, 2018 I'm quite impressed with the suitcase, and all the beasts included. Definitely better than I was expecting! Quote

The Niffler is so cute!http://www.brickfinder.net/2018/06/04/lego-fantastic-beasts-newt-magical-suitcase-75952/ Well, the brick-built creatures are terrible, of course, but still better than I expected them to be. The molded heads are cool. It's all about the niffler for me. Quote
