I'll probably want to get everything from this wave, but the Knight Bus is easily the one I'm most excited about. Ern looks nice! Bland, yes, but very true to his onscreen appearance.

Its the other way around with me, from the sets we know about atm the Knight Bus is the only one I'll be skipping. Unless it comes with something surprising that makes the set worth the money

So today we got offical Spiderman Far from Home set pictures which will release June 1st, just like the Harry Potter sets. Can‘t be long till we see them as well, right?

I’m the same as you, but for fans that didn’t get either of the previous Knight Bus sets, I can see why these would be the most exciting.

On the topic of vehicles, we got Hogwarts Express last wave and the Knight Bus this wave. Does anyone think LEGO consider set distribution when they plan a wave? So that they aren’t all buildings etc.

The thing is though, most fans actually wouldn’t care much about Marge if she were just a regular minifigure. If she was balloon!Marge sure, but normally she’s just a sour woman in a tweed suit. It’s possible that after some of the other new molds (that we’ve been so much more excited for) they just didn’t have the budget to inflate Marge, and what’s the point otherwise?

I think the problem is we are getting a set we already got in 2011, its ovisouly gonna be a different build, but its similar to the last one, I would have been so happy if the durselys were included, or some sort of extra. 

[Whovastron]

Even if I had the 2011 oneX or even still had my original from 2004. This new one is most certainly going to have a superior build and minifigures. That makes it worth the price for me. Like the Avengers SHIELD quinjet. Compare the 2012 one to the 2019 one. I have the original. But the new one is far superior in detail and design so I’m gonna get it. Same when comparing the 2012 X-Wing and TIE Fighter to the 2018 versions. I have both of those but the new ones are still on my wanted list. Lego improves its detail, designs and part inventory consistently all the time, this new knight bus will likely be very worth it.

just my thoughts on it though

I just saw leaked photo of Ernie Prang minifig. Wow! I really like it. Better than the first version imo.

His bald piece with with white hair will mix really well with faces with white facial hair. The bald 80yo grandpa with white hair look has not been better until now.

I also like Prang's torso assembly very much. Simple, nice and very usable.

Leaked photo of Cedric ... first-task? ... minifig is how the first quidditch minifigs should be .... torso, hip and leg design continuation. The leg assembly printed with the lower part of the robe.

....are you ok? 

B2T: Excellent choice for Ernie‘s hairpiece, I didn‘t even think of the series 10 grandpa/ TLBM Alfred hairpiece  So much better than 2011‘s rendition, let‘s hope they can improve upon the shrunken head in a similar fashion

Ok. This thread has become way too boring due to the lack of new information.

Theoretically we don’t know what either of the August sets are, there are just rumors about the 55 dollar one being the Graveyard.

how funny would it be if we got the prefects bathroom

though the 2 task would make more sense with a harry and maybe a Ron or hermione maybe even victor krum or a mermaid

Ugh, don’t say things like that because I want a prefects’ bathroom. 

It’s a gorgeous room with a ton of interesting elements that would be really fun to see tackled in LEGO. Plus, a great opportunity to get Moaning Mrtyle without having to wait until Lego swings back around to chamber of secrets.

That would be amazing. Take a hint, Lego!

Well the Mermaid sticker from the USC Hogwarts Set can be used for a MOC of that, but you're right i would prefer that to a dragon. I want more hogwarts rooms.

Speaking of bathrooms.. Please give us the moarning myrthe.

Dre Head - Knight Bust picture is leaked. 

It's a normal head and IMHO it sucks, printing is weird, they should just print the whole head and give a hairpiece not print the hair on the head (does that make sense?)

Thats right, it just looks weird without the hair. The Head isn't in the books so the only source we have are the movies. (one of the little really cool additions by the movies). He is like a huge bunch of hair with a little head in it. this looks like a normal sized head with weird hair.

Yess you're right.

I am one of these fans.

I started collecting HP Sets since last year and i don't want to pay this crazy prices for older Sets.

They could've use a baby head but that will require a new hair mold.
