10or Posted April 2, 2011 i actually like these! i want!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nick Wolfe Posted April 2, 2011 The promos look interesting, except that they all only have Harry, I'm going to have enough soon to do two full seven Potters scenes. But that's to be expected from the closed minded producers of toys, to them all minor characters are incapable of selling products. Anyway, the sets do seem like a nice piece assortment, it could include some nicer pieces, but these should fit in quite well with the existing sets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Derek Posted April 2, 2011 I'll pass on these. That would be a really stupid joke if it was one... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tj19941994 Posted April 3, 2011 When are these out? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legomaster34 Posted April 3, 2011 (edited) Yeah, Brickset isn't usually known to do April Fools pranks (one of the reasons why I like that site), so these are real. It's just a big coincidence that all these instructions were added on April 1, or a bad joke by the Lego employees themselves. Anyway, I believe a deeplink is in order: They aren't great, but they do look nice. They're good parts packs and I wouldn't mind getting a couple of them. Do you know when and where these will be available? I think I might pick up a couple. Edited April 4, 2011 by Legomaster34 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ADHO15 Posted April 3, 2011 When are these out? Do you know when and where these will be available? I think I might pick up a couple. I linked to them above for the first time. If you can't see when or where they'll be available, none of us can. And please don't quote pictures that are a few posts up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ravenxl7 Posted April 3, 2011 The exclusive minifig is a bit disappointing, imho. If it absolutely had to be Harry, a Deathly Hallows themed Harry would have been much better. Would also have been the perfect way to give him a new hair piece (the old one is waaay outdated). The poly sets look nice. If I see them at retail I'll definitely get them. Some potions stuff would be nice, another printed owl can only be a good thing, and a Harry minifig that isn't in his uniform is nice to see. I'm actually kinda surprised nobody's mentioned the new pictures of this year's main three sets: http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=4865-1 http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=4866-1 http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=4867-1 Kinda hoping these are still preliminary to a certain extent. I can understand Harry wearing his uniform in the castle set, but the Forest and Knight Bus sets Harry's should be in normal/muggle clothing. I'm still slightly miffed at the lack of the Grim/dog-form Sirius for the Knight Bus set. I'll still get it, but even a re-release of the original gray dog would have been preferred over nothing.

Canada_7 Posted April 3, 2011 (edited) From last year's sets I have the Hogwarts Express, Hagrid's Hut, and The Burrow. Prior to that I never was exactly interested in the HP sets (plus they were out I guess you could say during my time away from Lego; though the one I think that I wish I could get from previous runs would be the Shrieking Shack). Without counting Diagon Alley, these 3 new sets (5 if you count the new impulse ones), there isn't anything that is tempting me to buy; maybe except for the Knight Bus only because I never got it when they made the first version. I guess that's a good thing since there's other stuff this year I've been wanting to get from other themes. Edited April 3, 2011 by Canada_7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LEGOfan123 Posted April 4, 2011 I think these new sets are very cool! I have never owned a Knight bus so i´m glad LEGO did one more! I hope these sets are not the finish for the Potter line. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyway, the sets do seem like a nice piece assortment, it could include some nicer pieces, but these should fit in quite well with the existing sets. The sets are nice, but nothing spectecular. Consering the seven potters scene, I collected nearly every set of the harry potter theme they produced yet. I would wish for a few less harrys because my harry army could totally win the clone wars against the Republic and the CIS at once!

According to brickipedia (I know it isn't the most reliable source) the knight bus will cost $34.99 so, according to the current exchange rate, it should be £21.36 in the UK. Why then is it £35.99? It's a similar story with the other sets too. Any ideas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a similar story with the other sets too. Any ideas? LEGO never goes by exchange rates. There are a lot more factors that determine the prices of sets than just current rates. It may be unfair sometimes, but sometimes certain countries get exclusives, so it can balance out. If you need to get them cheaper, wait a little while and use Bricklink, then the exchange rate matters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
