I would be interested to hear your box distribution. Reports are suggesting boxes are very random in terms of the number of each character and some characters are even missing from boxes. 

 

I got 3 Hermione and 5 Myrtle in my box. I thought it was supposed to be the other way around?

Did anyone else just get a disappointing email from LEGO addressing the delay of their Diagon Alley shipping? This is a bit ridiculous. It’s now five days after ordering and it’s not like the set is even back ordered in the US yet. I wonder what is going on. Here’s what my email says...

Doesn't the email tell you what is going on?  COVID plus high volume of orders, as evidenced by GWP going out of stock in less than a day.

Anyone in the UK found any cmf in Asda or Tesco yet?  My local large stores still don’t have theM

 

edit. Changed comfort to cmf!

@sebastian666 don't be too disappointed.  Keep in mind there may be a bit of a 'mars rover' lag between what is happening, and what is being communicated.  The Hagrid/Buckbeak set was always part of my order, but I still got one of the cute CS e-mails yesterday saying that it was being added to my order via a charm spell.  According to other information, it also shipped yesterday, for me.

Maybe you should hide your order number.

EDIT: Nice, you can't actually look it up as it's account specific luckily. Good job LEGO on the security. :)

I'm assuming comfort is an autocorrection of CMF?

No. But have felt our a whole box and not a single Neville or Sprout.

Haha. I bought a LEGO Roller Coaster on Wednesday, It was shipped yesterday (Tuesday) at 2:20pm. Today (Friday) I got a text from Australia Post saying the item is coming today. 10 Minutes later the delivery driver rocked up at my doorstep. Another 20 minutes later I got a message from Kmart saying that my order was dispatched and it may take up to 24 hours for the courier to update their tracking! It all happened so fast and out of order, but very funny.

So deliveries can be fast in Australia? :P

I fortunately find it very easy to get CMF when they come out. Kmart's stock check online is very accurate, so when something is coming out I just check every morning until it shows in stock then race in store and it's either sitting on a trolley on the shop floor or I just ask a staff member to get them for me. So I happily went down and got all 16 plus extra Fred, George, Ginny, Griphook, Neville and Dumbledore. It's always so easy, but for some reason I still stress about it every series! :-D

Well, that was from Kmart who is much more on the ball than LEGO. :-D My Diagon Alley still hasn't moved from the Warehouse! If only the Roller Coaster wasn't going to be a family Christmas present i'd have something to do this weekend. Lol. My 3 year old is so excited about it though. I said "Look at Dad's Roller Coaster". He Goes "It's so Cool!" then thinks about it for a second and goes "It be Keeyan's Roller Coaster too?"

Nice. I have the Rollercoaster build so I can say it's fun to build and play with (especially when motorised). The "poles" (for lack of a better word) are quite repetitive and annoying though.

Nope but found a box in Sainsbury's last Saturday and felt out a full set. Maybe you could try there if you have one local to you.

I got the same email last night.  At this rate we'll be lucky if it shows up before the end of next week.  Just hope it doesn't end up changing to out of stock then going to a 60 day backorder like my book store did.

Happy to report my box distribution was good and the same as in Whitefang's review:

3 complete sets

Spares:

• Dumbledore x 2
• Griphook x 2
• Myrtle x 2
• Harry x 1
• Hermione x 1
• Ron x 1
• Luna x 1
• Neville x 1
• Sprout x 1

One funny thing, each of the 3 rows in the box started with the same 8 figures in the same order: Ginny, George, Fred, James, Lily, Kingsley, Bellatrix, Myrtle

In one of the rows there was an extra Myrtle as fig 9, but the next 2 figures were Dumbledore, Griphook...

Hermione & Ron appeared 4 times, and always Hermione followed by Ron

[Dhivael]

I'm glad to hear that, @LegoFjotten. I was getting worried about the reports also. I'm hoping it was just a few errors early on in production. 

[diagonalley]

For those of you looking for figures/heads in the US, there is a seller on the Facebook group Amazing Lego Marketplace, Daniel Sites, that just posted 77 pages of minifigures. I've purchased from him in the past & he's great.

Thank you for reporting. I'm sure this will ease a lot of minds. What will you do with the extra two sets?

[BrickBob Studpants]

Given how many display options there are for DA, I'm quite interested to see how you guys (and gals) are displaying it  I'll start with my set-up:

 

[BacktoBricks]

@Lego-Freak When your Lego display is that big it makes even DA look relatively small lol.

Nice!

Ours is spread out across the living room floor at the moment, much to my wife's dismay. It's been there so long Hogwarts has real spiders living in it sometimes.

The kids game seems to involve some sort of Avengers mash-up as Thanos and Voldemort have teamed up.

I've been told to tidy it up a bit before I'm allowed to start building DA.

[Tariq j]

That display looks really good 

Just got some of the CMFs from Tesco. They're really gone all out with these. Especially the accessories.

Wydaje się, że gra dla dzieci zawiera coś w rodzaju połączenia Avengers, gdy Thanos i Voldemort połączyli siły.

O co dokładnie chodzi ? Planowana jest nowa gra lego ?
