    There's a few people in my NZ Lego group on FB who got this set instead of the castle they ordered. Apparently the size and weight of the boxes are the same for the 2 sets. I think it's fair to assume this mixup has happened to several Australian customers as well, as both NZ and Aus orders ship from the same warehouse. I wonder if this is also happening in other countries or just NZ/Aus?

    Can you or anybody else point me in the direction for one of those Groups or share a little more information about that matter? Thank you very much! :)

    Just wanted to clarify: The information about the BrickHeadz is not from us. We linked to an article from Dylan Chow/Bricksjoy who reported about these. The article shouldn't contain any new substantial information that wasn't already discussed somewhere else. So please take everything (apart from the things that are already "known") with a huge grain of salt.

    Stonewars have weighed in on the recent D2C discussion, and these are the bullet points in their article (https://www.stonewars.de/geruechte/lego-star-wars-ucs-sets-2021/):

    • They think 75303 is probably dead
    • They confirm that 75309 is a statue
    • Might be R2-D2
    • They agree that the $350 one is likely the Gunship
    • The $800 set is NOT a new DS
    • They think it could be an AT-AT
    • There’s a $160 18+ set

    Sounds pretty intriguing to me :classic: 

    Thanks a lot for sharing here, I just wanted to keep a look at this thread so that our article is not misinterpreted.  :) 

    So just a few things:

    • I think that 75303 is dead, because a 4th D2C set that nobody heard anything about by now is kind of unlikely. But that could very well be wrong
    • They AT-AT thing is mostly a guess based on the fact, that we heard that it's not supposed to be a DS. Take this one with a huge grain of salt at the moment.
    • The $160 18+ set is mostly based on what @Azani posten on Instagram

    That looks great, thanks for sharing. So the clock tower now officially switches places with the WW. Guess I'll do that with mine when I get to my sets again.

    Just to make this clear: This is not an official picture. It's a photograph of my own sets and the Astronomy Tower was added with Photoshop. I think there is no "official way" to connect them anymore. I made the picture for our blog post (https://www.stonewars.de/news/lego-harry-potter-2020/)  to give people an idea of what it could look like.

    I just want to clear some things up. We have to get more careful with what we are writing and how it sounds after being translated with Google Translate ;)

    About the "not nameless" clone trooper: It's not meant to hint anything and maybe it's even a wrong assumption on our side. We should have written: "a colorful clone trooper". We don't know any name or anything. Just that he is not a plain white clone trooper. I'm going to clear that up in the article.

    I am not sure how some of you guessed from our article, that Rex is somehow involved. We didn't write that anywhere because we just don't know it yet. 

    We also did not write, that we "would be suprised" if 75291 got released. We just wrote that we will have to wait and see if it's getting released and what it will be, because it wasn't shown at Nuremberg toy fair as far as we know. 

    Edit: And we did NOT write, that 75274 was cancelled. Again: We just don't have information on this one. It's probably just a set that won't be available everywhere.

    Here's some more info on the builds of the sets:

    Room of Requirement: 3 walls that can be folded out to form 1 long wall, 1 of the walls has a fireplace. The set itself can't be connected to Hogwarts so some modification is required

    The Forbidden Forest: Grawp is build similairly to Ares from Wonder Woman. The Centaurs are ''minifigure torso's on a new horse body mold''

    Escape from Privet Drive: the house has a fireplace, cupboard and Harry's bedroom. Some sources are saying Fred and George are included instead of Ron and Dobby

    Hogwarts Astronomy Tower: includes the Astronomy classroom (top of the tower), Ravenclaw common room and Slughorn's office. There may be more figures than we currently know of, this is not confirmed. It's possibly the largest Hogwarts extension to date

    Hedwig: Hedwig is 25 cm wide and is built with open wings. There's a Harry Potter figure included, possibly an exclusive 

    Advent Calendar: comes with a few exclusive figures. Price might be higher than last year

    CMF: European price will be 4 euro, the US still has the $5 price

    EDIT: all of this info is reliable as it comes from Stonewars

    We just logged in here to clarify some things, that maybe got lost in the translation and give an update on one small thing:

    The most important update is: There might be a way to connect the Room of Requirement to Hogwarts. We figured it made no sense in such a small set, but now we heard that there might be Technic pins to connect it anyway. If this is "intended" or just "possible": We just don't know yet.

    Other than that: All of the information is third hand, so there might be smaller mistakes in the interieur and stuff like that.

    About the figures: We heard different things from some people, but most of our information about that is the stuff from Lucky Bricks on instagram. So please stick to the figures they listed in the discussion.

    Concerning the Hedwig model: It is said to be 25 cm wide with spread wings, but wasn't shown to the retailers, it was just told about. So it is probably quite small and not as big as the Star Wars characters. We are not sure at all about the Harry Potter figure included, because it's only one single source. So please take that (and probably even the price) with a grain of salt.

    Also the figures included are still just speculation, they heard rumours that other figures might be included aswell.

    Edit: Concerning this: The figures we have mainly listed are not a speculation, but were shown to retailers in Nurmberg, who posted about them on instagram. Our other information is older and therefore probably not correct. And keep in mind: LEGO has alway changed stuff over the time until the final release is there.

    Stoneware.de is dropping the info about the Friends Ideas set:

    Piece count is only 1070 pieces (submission had 1719)

    Only 6 minifigures, Gunther was dropped

    September 1st is the release date. No info in early VIP but they say another set (????) is getting a VIP release soon (Disney train?)

    Rumored price is EUR 69.99

    We did not say that Gunther was dropped definitely, we just assumed because of the teaser. We clarified this later and corrected the passage. Gunther is definitely in the set, sorry for the confusion!

    Edit: Btw, we added the first official pictures of the set just now.

    The biggest mystery about this set is how they managed to prevent the minifigs from leaking, if the release date is this close *huh* They probably banished the leakers to the Upside Down :grin:

    The set or at least the figures are probably not produced in China or any other place where minifigures leak. If they produced it in Billund, then there would be no leaks.

    Someone on another forum mentioned that an Australian toy store posted a list of "limited release LEGO comming soon" including things like the new Empire State Building, Flintstones, Steamboat Willie, Mustang and some other stuff. On that list was this item "75810 LEGO Stranger Things $ 349.99"

     

    Thats correct, I wrote about that under the link thats in the first post on this thread. But it's 349,99 Australian Dollars which will probably be converted to 199,99 USD

    it is certainly an assumption that bhz = brickheadz. 

     

    but if the line as a theme is dead, and they had some ‘leftover’ they may be integrating them into the main theme. kinda like what they’ve done with juniors/4+ ... 

    The "leftover" thing is a good point. LEGO changed numbering a few times now, even in Star Wars. Are you sure this listing is new and not a cancelled and/or old listing?

    Speaking of LEGO Ideas though, I see your info confirms the Treehouse for August at $279.99!!! :thumbup: *huh*

    Keep in mind that this is Australian Dollars. That could be around 175 - 200 USD or Euro. Still: This is a good price point for the rumored part count.

    Damn, can’t believe we’re actually getting a Stranger Things set - I’m excited... but after all that work I put into my ideas set it is a little bittersweet.

    I know, thats what I thought since March when I first wrote about the possibility of this set... LEGO Ideas really screws people over sometimes I think.

    I think May 15th should be the most realistic releasedate for VIPs. Official Release should be June. And I think its fun that the retailer wrote an official newsletter about this in the beginning of may. And this email is still accessable by everybody and (almost) nobody paid attention to i or found it.
     

    @Puresh I'm looking forward to this video and I will definetly republish it :D

    To clarify some things, since I wrote the German descriptions:

    - It seems like there is no Fang in the Hagrids Hut Set
    - All the rooms are mentioned in the Yule Ball descriptions, but at least some of them will probably be really small
    - In the description of the Yule ball set I tried to explain which portion of Hogwarts the Clock Tower is. Thats why I mentioned the courtyard and the bridge, since thats where the Clock Tower is located. They are not a part of the set, at least not that I know.
    - The graveyard duel is part of my 2019 list, but it's not an official confirmation for this set. We only have confirmation for the 5 june sets and the advent calender, because for all of them pictures exist. There are no pictures of the graveyard or the last unknown set, at least none that I know of. The article is older and I updated it a few times. So the new descriptions are only for the 5 june sets.

    Well, it looks like Brick Fanatics (and in turn, @tormentalous's The Brick Fan) is reporting on this rumored Stranger Things D2C set:

    Per Brick Fanatics...

     

    When we blogged about this 2 weeks ago people wrote us messages telling us we were liers. I still have screenshots of someone promising to eat two Joyce Byers minifigures on camera if this happens. Well... that should be fun :D

    Just now, Kdapt-Preacher said:

    The question is whether the Lando has the new cape from Betrayal at Cloud City, a cape with the old lack of printing but the new spongy material, or if it's identical to the old one. I don't think LEGO is using the old papery cape material at all anymore, so it might not be quite the same piece, and the original costs a lot of money now.

    I don't know that for sure. The same thing with the chrome lightsabers: When LEGO changed the production it may even not be possible to really exactly achieve the old styled capes/lightsabers.

    It is in the picture but in looking at the brickset stock pic of cloud city Lando to compare I noticed that the picture on that German site that we are looking at is using the same brickset stock photo in the leak. I'm at work so do not have time to see if all the anniversary figs shown in that pic is using the old brickset pics. I'm guessing they did a mock up only.

    Yes, that is exactly what I did. It says so in the description of the picture in the blog, but that is in german unfortunately. These are NOT the actual figures, it's just the bricklink pictures of the old versions. But the new ones should look the same (aside from the print on the back).

    There's a new promo image with the official name of a new range of SW sets:

    Star Wars Action Battle Sets

    75238
    75239
    75240

    Edit: the image also mentions 75236, 75240 and 75242 as "new models" for April 2019.

    It's 75238, 75239 and 75241 as "Star Wars Action Battle Sets" and 75236, 75240 and 75242 as "3 new models". Basically it confirms everything we knew before ;)
