Metanoios

Source? Much more likely to be the 264 pieces for 29.99.

Snitch

Sorting hat and sword of gryffindor. Dobby and sock. Dobby and chandelier. Dobby and Kreacher. Two Pixies. Potter Puppet Pal Snape and Harry. Fawkes and pile of ash. Fawkes and Basilisk

No 43179 is the Mickey and Minnie Mouse buildable figures. I think he is hinting at a July 1st release? Or the buildable figure set ffor 120 is actually a pair of figures

Yes because obviously every kid on this planet already owns the 2018 Great Hall. What kind of school did you visit that gave you this perception of logic and reality?

No the Quidditch set with Hooch is either the smallest of the August wave or the 39.99 one (same price point as the last quidditch set)

Yes but far less. The regular sets had only 5 new moulds in total

The wings are thinner which makes them more translucent than the rest of the body. I think the trans blue gradient looks good. On the pic the body looks more corporeal than the wings which is what they were aiming for. It is tiny (Baby groot size) There is a new picture which shows the Pixie from the back as well. That we are getting a pixie mould like this at all in a non-CMF setting, means they have definitely increased the budget for the wave and sets. We have multiple new creature moulds (Pixie, Fluffy, Basilisk, ?Fawkes?) in this wave alone, along with the new McGonagall hair piece, Cat hermione and many recolours (golden figures, wands, basilisk, Flitwick beard, window frames)

Additional ones in a Hogwarts Moments DADA classroom are much more likely, including a new Lockhart variant

Edit: removed

I want to see a Snake-nado special down the line. Like a reverse concept for the tornado of creation where some obscure bad guy unleashes snake armageddon on the world and it's raining snakes

NASA and Apollo 11 want a word with you

Judging by the prices of the current beatboxes, it will propably be just one minifig in a slightly larger box built...

If it's a Quidditch minifig pack or set in August, I hope for printed legs (or ideally dual molded legs with prints but that is only realistic in a 3rd cmf). The white legs are just to plain. I had the same thought about Fawkes. He is essential to the chamber scene...

The license expiring you mentioned is plain out wrong. They had the lotr license at least till the end of the second Lego Dimensions wave (2016). The sets (2nd lotr 2013, especially Hobbit waves 2014) didn't sell all that well. Most kids (6-12) at the time just didn't like them, but I think a lot came to regret that once they watched lotr when they were older and realised what they missed. But by that time the sets were no longer available

To army build Venom,, of course^^

It's on lego.com https://www.lego.com/de-de/product/spider-man-versus-venom-and-iron-venom-40454?wgu=267995_1351375_16147062495574_a515414ea6&wgexpiry=1622482249&cmp=AFC-AFFLIATEDE-1189665-1351375-267995-0&wgclickid=267995_1351375_16147062495574_a515414ea6

New minifig set, releases april 1st

No it's the cmf series 14 mould from 2015 which is different from the monster fighter werewolf mould

They have shared nothing which could be considered useful information besides vague warnings about emotions they or we will feel. Promobricks and the catalogue leak are the sources for the information we have (june and onwards). I could also speculate about your future emotions or things you like or dislike, but I wouldn't call myself an "informant" - it's more like a Freudian psychologist. If I knew the information, kept it for myself and would read this forum from time to time, I would have fits of laughter over the hysteria my vague comments caused.

The action battle sets had a higher pppr just like usual star wars sets (> 11 ct pppr) so that is a bad comparison. Gimmicky sets like the Hogwarts moments books have also a higher pppr not a lower one like these. I think anniversary sets are more likely. And the smallest set in the August/june wave is just like any other 29.99 play set in the 2018 - 2020 wave.

Nothing in the entire Harry Potter canon and lore warrants another micro-scale set. The rest of the castle (back-side) would never be sold as a retail set, not even a D2C because it just looks not good as a stand alone set.

A slightly scaled down Fawkes could be built with a technic frame on the inside (like Grogu and Yoda) with roughly 600 pieces (for example head 100, body 200, wings and feet 150 each)

Diagon Alley has a 7.2 ct price per piece ratio and the micro Hogwarts castle has a 6.6 ct pppr. This would be 7.8 ct pppr (1673 for 129.99) so it is actually more expensive than Diagon Alley. Bigger sets usually have a better price per piece ratios (unless they rely heavily on large new moulds or recolours or prints)

Fawkes with a Golden Dumbledore. Most of the needed red,dark red, orangish yellow and black pieces are already in the production cycle right now
