Roebuck Posted January 4, 2018 2 hours ago, jdubbs said: Given the dimensions and the supposed $25 price point (which would typically translate to around 200-250 pieces for licensed IP sets), I think that's exactly what it means. It seems highly unlikely there would be enough bricks to build both a suitcase and the creatures inside unless it were all very, very small.... at best you'd end up with the little microbuilds that come in the Advent calendars? It is possible it is just a small brick buildt suitcase, just big enough for a minifig to climb down and a ladder under it. In addition it is some brick built animals as well.. The inside of the suitcase was really open as I recall so not much need for walls down there... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ultron Posted January 5, 2018 Is it possible the Whomping Willow set comes with the Shrieking Shack or something since they're linked? That's so many pieces for a tree and a car. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's so many pieces for a tree and a car. It certainly would explain the raised price tag but I'd think if they did that, the set would be even bigger and have some of the characters we see in it such as Lupin, Sirius, Pettigrew, Snape Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The usual cape pieces just don't look good for robes and that element from the movie would work perfectly. Granted, with it not appearing in that theme at all I'm guessing the odds of seeing that element appear in the flesh for these sets isn't great.

Ultron Posted January 5, 2018 Maybe lego could could make a 3-holed cape piece like the lego Ringwraiths had where it drapes over the shoulders a bit more? And then do the "down" hood piece in black that just sits on their back. Could that work? 50 minutes ago, RealGeronimo11 said: It certainly would explain the raised price tag but I'd think if they did that, the set would be even bigger and have some of the characters we see in it such as Lupin, Sirius, Pettigrew, Snape Probably. It was really just wishful thinking. I'm guessing the Tree will just be a pretty good sized build with a lot of ball joints to mimic its flexibility. I'd also expect some function where the top half rotates with a gear so you can spin it around and wack things. What I'm really interested in about this set is if it has a hole for you to slide the characters into the tree like it's supposed to have. That might indicate the longevity of the theme and if they're leaving the door open for future sets (like a shrieking shack) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Harry's hair in the Dimensions pack is awful, and I prefer Hermione with the reddish-brown hair.

GryffindorResistance Posted January 5, 2018 Anyone thought of the idea that the Ford Anglia Escape may include Hagrid's Hut as well? Or part of the castle, like the scene with the Willow in Chamber of Secrets? Just a thought, I'm just baffled if Lego doesn't include Hagrid's Hut somehow!!

Maybe they have multiple waves planned and each one will have a different aspect of the castle at connects to the ones from the other waves similar to the PS and CoS lines in the early 2000s and maybe ones beneath the castle like the Rancor pit and Jabba's palace sets in Star Wars a couple of years ago Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And then they could have The Chamber of Secrets physically connect underneath the castle. Having lots of add ons would also allow lots more detail in certain areas.

And Fluffy, the Devil's Snare, flying keys, chess board and final battle could be in layers beneath the castle. They could even add more detail and have it on the third floor and have settings accurate to where they're set in the books Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm guessing if they did more of the Forbidden Forest they'd give us stuff we haven't seen before such as the Unicorn and Quarrel, some Centaurs, Grawp, etc. But they'll only do multiple waves if the first one is popular so it's up to us to keep it going the best we can Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
