Given that Assembly Square is 4,002 pieces and goes for $279, Ninjago City was 4,867 pieces and went for $299 it has seemed unlikely to me all along that a set for $399 will be in the 4,000-ish piece range. Even if Hogwarts was microscale it had 6020 pieces for the same price! I think the 5444 rumor is plausible. How could they justify 2,000ish less pieces at the same price point? 

That’s true - Assembly Square is $120 cheaper and over 4,000 pieces. It would definitely be a bit upsetting for this to be between 4,000-4,500.

Ghostbusters is 4,634 for $350.

Let’s just say I got a Instagram dm from the guy who posted it asking what I thought of it and if I thought it was real or not

Even if the rumor itself isn’t real, I think having 5,000+ pieces is still a reasonable number for the price range. 5,444 would be a dream but a couple hundred off of that I would still be pumped for.

I agree, If it was anything less than 5000 pieces, I would find the set to be underwhelming. 5500 is a good amount of pieces given that the Hogwarts castle was 6020 pieces and looked great

Yeah I definitely gave it a second thought, given peoples opinion on the "touchy" topic.

5,444 does sound pretty great for DA if it’s true. That would give it around 1000 pieces each for WWW and Gringotts (which better be included for that piece count), 650 each for Ollivander’s and F&B (since they need interiors), 450 each for Scribbulus, QQS, the Daily Prophet offices, and Fortescue’s, and a couple hundred left over for some roadway and a brick wall play feature to represent the entrance.

My guess is that WWW won't be very big (a floor tall plus a bit) because the big windows at the front use a ton of parts.

I completely disagree. Just looking at the design of the building, there's no way they could do it at anything under two floors, and even then it would be rather squished. I'm expecting three floors, and that it will be the largest building in the set (counting Gringotts, as I see that as having much less space for interior, as it would just be the entrance hall rather than WWW needing space for all the merch).

Well damn, 5300-5500 sounds almost too good. They can surely fit Gringotts, WWW, and the others. I really hope this set will either be the best set I've ever seen or a total disappointment because I'm already sweating the decision between it and the incoming UCS Mos Eisley Cantina...

Right, I forgot that Gringotts can just have a small interior. The only reason I said that is because I am making a MOC of WWW and the piece count is really high and I have no interior yet

100 pieces off?  Regardless of whether that means 5300 or 5500, that still is a great piece count for a $400 minifigure scale set.  The Harry Potter line really does have great pricing compared to other licensed themes.  Hopefully pictures will be imminent.

Same first I was like I’m buying Diagon Alley first beyond a shadow on a doubt, then that Ponda figure leaked and I’m like, well this might be closer than I thought. Then I remembered that DA would probably have Lockhart, and obvious to everyone who’s been following these threads for the last three years, he’s the minifig I’ve been most excited for since the revival and finally seeing a new minifig of him since the OG yellow face days is going to be amazing. I’m a big Lockhart fanboy. So Team DA for lyfe.

Haha I have always been on the Gringott’s train! It’s my favorite building on Diagon Alley. But I’m still not 100% convinced it will be included... This definitely makes me more hopeful though!

Tempting... but as a uni student, I cannot justify that :D Been working the whole summer to justify one larger lego purchase. Furthermore, I already have to make drastic changes to my room to even fit one of them on display :D
