Farmer Donald leaked!

Yep, my current best guess is buildable house mascots in some form. Only time will tell!

And with his announcement, Luigi is up for preorder. Double VIP points!

Thanks! I've been looking forward to it for about a year now! :-) Thank you!

Thank you!

Today, I received the Astronomy Tower as a birthday present. I think this build will nicely conclude my minifigure Hogwarts. And as neat as the CoS Hogwarts and attaching sets are, I think I'm good focusing on the Hogsmeade and Chess sets for the Harry Potter summer wave. And then we'll see what 2022 brings. :-)

Luigi has always been my favorite Mario character, going all the way back to 1986. Tomorrow (the 19th) is my birthday. LEGO, make it happen. :-D

I am SUPER excited about the chess set and will be preordering it. Yes, the pieces might fall over easier than if on a stud, but then again, it's just like an ACTUAL chess set. I think it has high value for what all is included in the set. And I'm even more excited about Hogsmeade than I was when hearing about the set and seeing preliminary. It will go well with my existing Shrieking Shack, and then can join my Winter Village landscape around the holidays. I love the CoS Hogwarts, but I am...OK, not getting it. I'll consider my current minifigure Hogwarts complete with the Astronomy Tower, and with that and the microscale Hogwarts, that particular itch has been well scratched....for now.

Thank you!

Change your url to say just stonewars.de instead of the regular URL. That did it for me. Hope this helps!

I'm excited about the Hogwarts Chess set now that I can afford it, and it might make the Fluffy set more tempting as well. I'm interested to see what the minifigure differences are between those two sets.

While I'm likely getting a lot less Harry Potter this year (Hogsmeade is the only plus so far), I'm still just as anxious as ever to see official descriptions and pics, hopefully end of next month if the pattern continues. I can't afford it right now, but I'm really looking forward to seeing what this Chess set business is about, too.

My wife and I are rewatching the Marvel movies, but this time in chronological order. Between the Final Battle set, seeing the beauty that is the Daily Bugle) which I sadly will not be able to afford), and the upcoming CMF, it's quite a year to be a LEGO Marvel fan!

Really hoping in a month or so we'll not only have set names but some actual pics of the summer sets. I'm still naively keeping my fingers crossed for Luigi with maybe some Haunted Mansion action.
