clouette Posted February 13, 2011 I think the Forbidden Forest is under-priced (for a respectable tree and 4 minifigs) and Knight Bus is over-priced (for a small bus and 3 minifigs). Thanks for the photos! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RoryoCox Posted February 13, 2011 Thanks for posting the pictures . I have to say that these small sets are really nice. The forbidden forest wasn't exactly what I was expecting but is a great set to get some figures that are only available in the more expensive first wave sets. The multi-coloured hair piece is nice and it's good to see they put in an effort. The Knight Bus actually looks boxier than the previous version but I am glad they have included the driver, head and of course Stanley. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
metalgearsolid Posted February 13, 2011 Thanks for the pics and the link Matn! I'm definitely getting the forbidden forest, although I am quite disappointed with how Voldemort looks and am not sure what to do with yet another Hagrid & Harry. Am not thrilled with the Knight bus but since I don't have the previous version and the purple bricks look good... I may actually get a few if they go on discount for the bricks.

SuperChris Posted February 13, 2011 Woah, the Knight Bus looks shockingly bad! I'm disappointed! At least we get some cool figures! And the Forest set looks very lacking as well, I suppose it's a cheap set though. Hopefully we'll get some high-res pictures later on! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eskallon Posted February 13, 2011 (edited) ^Another picture of Neville and the Dementor.^ There is definatly something under those steps as we can see by the tiles hidden away. Edited February 13, 2011 by Eskallon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vindicare Posted February 13, 2011 The FF is pretty lacking. The only draw is Narcissa, for me. I have the other three. The KB is cool, I missed out on the other one. Plus 2 new figs is good! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eskallon Posted February 13, 2011 Oh and it definatly connects to the other main Hogwarts Castle.^^^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kyp Posted February 13, 2011 I'm really exited because of the new photos although Voldemort in the forbidden forest is the same who was in the Hogwartscastle of 2010. and to be honest i think he just looks rediculous. i took his head to build a mean looking Peeves but i don't think he really gives a good Dark lord.. not like the one we got in the Globet of Fire line. I love this head and i'm still using it. It looks so wonderfull evil and snakelike. but apart from that the Forest scene is awesome. a cheap way to get Mushrooms and Trees and Narzissa is wonderful.

TheWigs Posted February 13, 2011 all of the sets look nice this time, 4 figures for 11.99 is a steal. I cant wait till June. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kyp Posted February 13, 2011 did anyone notice the white feathery thing on the balcony of the left tower of the Hogwarts set? what is that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ultron Posted February 13, 2011 (edited) I do like the Knight bus though except for the fact that I think the back wheel seems a little too far forward and I'm not really digging the black in between each level of the bus but maybe they'll change it or something. And it seems to have more detail on the interior than the older version. I can see what looks like a lamp Edited February 13, 2011 by Luna Lovegood Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ultron Posted February 13, 2011 Why is there blue fire in the forest? I don't remember there being any in the book.. And I'm pretty disappointed with the forbidden forest, they could've done a lot more, I mean to me it's like they're saying they don't really care. They could've included like a centaur because I mean they do live there and they come out and fight after the death eaters leave the forest. And I really really wanted a unicorn with a horn attached to its head.. :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure the blue flames will be explained when part 2 is released. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ultron Posted February 13, 2011 (edited) yeah..maybe it's supposed to represent something from the resurrection stone? Edited February 13, 2011 by Luna Lovegood Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yope Posted February 13, 2011 Hey y'all, Nice pics guys! The Forest is such good value, and I'm guessing the flames are used in the film to trap Hagrid, just a hunch. I don't think I'll get the Knight bus as I've still got the old one and it looks a bit ugly, how much is it anyway? The hogwarts set looks great though, I don't want to sound impatient but has anyone found any pics of the interior I'm dying for a look! I hope there is a classroom as there wasn't one in the 4th Hogwarts and it could do with one. Thanks again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Geertos13 Posted February 13, 2011 (edited) Well, after a slight calm down, the Knight Bus doe slook a bit less exiting after all It's indeed a bit squary. I bought the old one and I must admitt, it's way better than this. And what about LEGO putting Stickers everywehre ? Come on they could have at least printed the Knight Bus Logo or use the old printed tile ! On teh Forbidden Forest, I don't have Hagrid yet and Narcissa is fantastic. For that Reason I think this set is a win, tyhough when I'll have Hagrid because I'm planning to get Hagrid's hut or Diagon Alley, I think the hole set, except for Narcissa, will look a bit pointless. The Battle for Hogwarts, However, is a pure and great epic WIN ! a defenatly must-have, it fits in great with Hogwarts's Castle and besides, these figs are too die for. I hope there is a classroom as there wasn't one in the 4th Hogwarts and it could do with one. Extremly unlikely as that set is based on an epic fight ! I don't think they would bother putting a classroom in a battle field. I can safely assume the Tower at the right is the Astronomy Tower, and I hope to see a bit of Ravenklaw stuff in the other one.

Professor Flitwick Posted February 13, 2011 Good to see we're defiantly getting a Nicarssa and Ernie! I don't really like the Knight Bus, though; I think it looks a bit ugly compared to the previous one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SuperChris Posted February 13, 2011 I've noticed something. Only two of the sets say they're going to be released in June; the Knight Bus & the Battle for Hogwarts. The Forest set isn't out till August, if it's to be believed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Forest set isn't out till August, if it's to be believed. I saw that too, I am hoping it's a typo otherwise I'll probably cry! This might be a bit off topic but is there any live coverage of toy fair on flickr or elsewhere? I heard there might be some from fbtb. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It wouldn't be too bad, that way it's spreading out the releases a bit more. It just seems a really odd thing to want to do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
