Not sure this is the right place to comment... but my frustration at Lego in relation to the Star Wars line has been boiling for a few years now with the poor choice of minfigures or the smaller/poor design of their redesigns. Here’s what the summer line should have looked like... Anakin Skywalker Starfighter: This one is fine in all honesty. Snokes Throne Room: Again solid, but that price point is disastrous! X-Wing: Fantastic set here. Hoth Scene: Feels like a boxed up chunk of another set... not sure I’d have included this. Sandcrawler: For a set of this size it screams for a greater depth in figures. Uncle Owen, Aunt Beru, Luke, r2, C3-PO, 2xJawas, Same droids in the set Imperial Landing Craft: Good set just a really uninspiring line up of figures. Add a new officer or Stormtrooper and we don’t need r2...

LEGO Star Wars 2018 Set Discussion - READ FIRST POST!
ArrowBricks replied to MKJoshA's topic in LEGO Star Wars
My view of the sets... X-Wing: best of the wave, and at last Lego has released a better redesign of any set. Throne Room: I like this one a lot... what’s the price for this? Landing Craft: Nice surprise but something seems off with it. Not bad though! Figures are average aswell Sandcrawler: Nice figures but just seems too squashed. Should have bumped the piece count up Starfighter: Uses the high cockpit design...looks alright I guess. Hoth set: Just average...not sure why this is a set though. -
Maybe onto something there

Oh my gosh we get a chocolate frog!! Hopefully the Knightbus is in the next wave. Seem as if the technic holes in the Quidditch set is simply to attach it to the main part where the hoops are. I’m guessing the Aragog set doesn’t no exist right? What clearly stands out for me is the ‘playset’ feel of these sets... this isn’t something previous Harry Potter sets have been lacking. It really bodes well for future buildings e.g Hogsmead, Room of requirement etc etc.

WOahhhhhhh! A Hogwarts express is surprising...Looks great! The Womping Willow set is good. Nice Quidditch set too... why is Snape in this set too!? Surely Hooch...
-
Not sure about that hairpiece... accurate face though! Thinking the quidditch set is based off of Film 1 with that hair piece. I noticed he also has a leak of the correct torso for Ron presuming it’s from the Aragog set.

Could be the CMF...

I’m fairly sure the Harry Potter sets were listed on Lego.com briefly with the Knightbus there and no Quidditch set. The inclusion of the Knightbus possibly suggests they aren’t going into as much focus in each wave as what we first thought. However a Knightbus would have for sure been released in the winter so it’s welcomed. Even if it is a FB set I’m sure a HP version would be released too. It should have all the key figures in it which will be great! Just wished it was part of a POA theme in the winter... with possibly a chamber of secrets set this wave. (Or other) On another note, it will be really interesting to see what the CMF’s will be based off. Possibly more waves of those for specific films...
-
Bit disappointed they’re releasing a POA set in the first wave...was hoping they’d just focus on 1/2 for now. But a Knightbus is neat and was expecting it for the next wave. Interesting to see if they add anything new to it considering the 2010 version was good. So are we getting the Knightbus and the exclusive Quidditch set?
-
All the evidence points towards the Harry Potter theme continuing for multiple waves. We have Fantastic Beast films that will surely coincide with Lego sets accompanied by Harry Potter ones. We have a Whomping Willow and a Great Hall as a singular set- we haven't seen these before therefore suggesting more obscure sets from films will be released. The first wave of sets are practically Year 1 and 2 'with a flavour of 3'. Therefore years 3,4,5,6,7 all need to be covered. Exciting times ahead! Look forward to official pictures for sure! Hopefully that Insta story is accurate. Would anyone else wish to see an updated Diagon Alley in the future? I sure would...
-
Haven't wanted pictures of a lego wave in such a long time! Anyone else incredibly excited by the return of Harry Potter and the possible future waves? Regarding the poster, gosh guys I wouldn't look too much into it...
-
Great to see the designer Nabii answering questions about the wave and set! You did a great job. Interesting that it has a flavour of year 3... hopefully there’s more year 1/2 sets for the future planned! I haven’t been this intrigued and excited about Lego for a good 3 years so do we any idea when we will get pictures of the other sets?
-
I hope for the same. Release all the ‘usual’ sets that have been previously released with better designs and updated parts. Then add to it with some usual sets that haven’t been released before such as the World Cup, Ministry of Magic etc. If the wave sells well I can defintely see them releasing small waves up to Fantastic Beasts’ third movie.
-
Thanks for the reply, that’s great news! Definitely agree with you. I’m hoping for an improved/updated Diagon Alley set amongst others.

Love the Great Hall set and looking forward to seeing the other Harry Potter sets! Do you guys think we will get further waves of Harry Potter sets from other years? Really want to collect some sets.
