Sorry, I was a bit unclear. There were no expert sets this year, contrary to last year.
-
Why are they not making any more HP Expert sets? A lego expert diagon alley for example?
-
Now we have to get a Diagon Alley D2C set as well. The Knight Bus needs a destination : - ) *wishful thinking*
-
Yes, but my point was the value of money. To make a comparison to original RT-price: town hall with more pieces, retail price 1500 NOK. And Parisian Restaurant, the top of the line, 1500 NOK. We have a weak currency atm, which is why the prices are so high. Shipping costs are the same as everywhere else. LEGO sets however are way higher than normal differences in currencies. I can afford it, but that means it has to take the place of something else I need and want, e.g. savings for a nice vacation. And it is not worth that, in my opinion :)

Hmm, I hope you are wrong. Getting old by all this waiting 😂
-
I reeeeaaaaally hope for a huge diagon alley minifig scale set (!!) :)
-
In Norway, most retailers now sells it for 180/190 euros as a standard retail price.
-
Why not? I cannot compare... hmm... Show’s how overpriced it is. And it’s not discounted, it’s a normal retail price? I can now choose between AS and CG, and the first mentioned is cheaper and a whole lot more detailed.
-
This set is just too expensive... 210 euros/250 dollars in Norway. Can you believe that? I can get assembly square right now for only 180 euros.

I was way more impressed by WWFS than this, tbh.

I’m not gonna praise something I do not find any reason to praise. Criticism is important to drive things forward. I’ve praised pretty much all of the other modulars (with some criticism to PC), which I think are great and that the designers on the whole have done an excellent job. But this just doesn't meet the standard of the previous, not even close, and my opinion is strengthened by the unnecessary price increase. It feels lacking in so many ways, and it's important to let the designers know instead of just giving praise when you're not actually satisfied with it.
-
Reading the thread from when PR was released, I can’t really see that much «hate» as you describe. As for the CG - since when did criticism become «hate»?
-
Thanks for the info! :)
-
No rumoured d2c set for 2019? Diagon alley?
-
The set should have leaked early. The danger of not leaking the set is the extremely high anticipation it builds up, which the «countdown» showed. And now the expectations are painfully chrushed after waiting so long...
