Another option would be bricklink... I bought 20 medium legs and 10 standard legs with robe printing 1€ each. Hufflepuff robes were 1,50€ each. Slytherin were a bit more expensive, but I wanted pretty ones with open robes to match the legs perfectly. Ok, they still need heads, hair and wands, but it isn't too bad in my opinion. The only thing missing are some Ravenclaw robes and i am fine with my students. It would be cool to get those special student robes like Percy has for the other houses, too. Another idea for a cmf: a frog choir member with a new big fat frog mould... In the best scenario a Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff with a more elaborate robe.

To be honest I never understood that. I was very happy to get Ki Adi Mundi in a cheap little set as an adult. The bounty hunter Battlepack with 4 unique characters was awesome, too. As a kid I didn't have the money to army build and was just glad to get one droid transporter and one clone Battlepack...

I hope we get a real Fluffy remake the same quality as the Troll and basilisk.

The inverted ones. Yes, they should definitely have used those and printed them with golden stars...

I think the formula for a good set is "size : (play value + detail)"... the 2018 great hall did a great job with it's a cute but recognisable shape, that captured the licences vibe. The new one does not benefit from havin a row of 1x2x2 Window frames more per window and so on... it just feels empty and soulless :/ that the sky looks terrible doesnt help either.

@brickbride I am sorry, but where have you spotted the fat friar?

Wow... that troll is one of the best Big figs ever made. Not too impressed with the rest... Yeah, it is big. But the visible sky being 2 cheap cloudshaped Tiles on the Underside of dark blue Plates is more than dissapointing. I don't recognise the Hufflepuff common room. Is it Vector? The hat is nougat, not brown. But I am pretty sure it isn't sprout

Barad Dur, Captain Rex Micro Fighter, the new Hogwarts system… I have to admit I am pretty excited for the set reveals. This could be a very strong year.

I doubt diorama sets for Harry Potter. A good playset with another hogwarts room is pretty much that size already and works exactly like those dioamas, while still being interesting for kids. They just need to make cute small sets like the one with cat Hermoine and the bathroom or the new Hagrids hut and boat house... until we get the whole Castle :D

@krimimimi What I could see (and hope for) is a recolour of the fat cat from friends in orange with normal eyes as Hermioine's cat.

We got a very pretty one a while ago.

What do you guys think people would be willing to pay for legolike custom resin printed heads of Moe, Lenny, Carl and Quimbi? Made my stl Files as a hobby project for some years. I found the perfect printing service mixing special plastic in yellow and reddish brown. It would cost about twice as much to get 50 sets of heads instead of 1, so I am thinking about selling the other 49...

To be honest I just care about Hogwarts and the Hogwarts Express. And within this limited part of the wizarding world my focus of interest is on the first two books/movies. Those were the big thing, when I was a kid. Went to the cinema with a Wizard hat and everything, got yellow faced Potter Sets for Christmas... So I am 100% hyped for the great hall with the Troll and Potion clasroom. Gives me a huge nostalgic feeling.

Do we know if it will be playscale? :)

@BrickBob Studpants yeah, that's a point ^^' I guess Lego needs to put those improve versions like McGonagall into sets, too, if they want to sell the third Castle reboot^^' Yes, I think the most necessary would be lotr, but I doubt we will get one xD What confused me is, that we did not see any leaks by now... wasn't the new great Hall supposed to release in 1 1/2 months?

The 5 cmf-Gryffindor variants are by far the best uniforms we got. I´d like to get at least one closed robe version of that quality for the other houses. That would be at least 3 very popular figures. I wouldn´t see a problem to have 3 Slytherins alone with Draco, Crabbe and Goyle. Flittwick from the first two movies but with a new beard and his hat would be cool. I don´t like the visible stud on the head. Quiddich Robes with leg Printing would be nice. It looks stupid to see the torsos with robe printing and plain white legs. That would be another 4 right there. I´d also like to see the other house ghosts. The first nick with the an added shakespeare neck-piece is perfect. It annoys me Myrtle in light grey has no printed legs... If you´d like to get something obscure, too, there would be Professor Vector. I´d like to get more teachers in general... Madame Hooch would benefit from a remake, too. Take the Hidden side Hair with glasses but in fitting colours and she will look so much better.

To be honest I am perfectly fine with having to collect pieces together for a characters in my opinion perfect representation. My problem lies with stickers (custom printing is expensive and work...) and even worse: stuff I can't do/get (Like silver printing on the Mirror from the first great hall). What really annoys me is the fact Gryffindor and Hufflepuff have just a little shield on their robes, Ravenclaw only a raven symbol.... Slytherin is available with Snake or shield, but the later only with an open robe... I hope we will get Ravenclaw and Slytherin Robes with the simpler shield design... it would be a shame, if the most elaborate uniforms (Gryffindor from the first 2 Cmfs) and Percy from the book would be incompatible in the end or worse Lego fails to give us matching uniforms at all... Do you think we will get a 3rd cmf? Maybe with printed medium leg versions of other houses?

Seriously? Oh, boy... I'll wait for a 50% discount... then it will compensate the required custom prints.

From my experience cinema is pretty irrelevant to the young people in my place. They stream and the older popular Marvel movies are allways recommended on Disney+. Also in every youtube recommendation video, which some consume to find stuff to watch, nobody mentions anything past Endgame (except maybe Guardians 3). It is definitely a, if not the reason. Another one is that parents decide what they buy in the end. If dad stands there with a nostalgic smile in front of the set remembering how it was to see the Avengers assemble in cinema with his friends over a decade ago, it is much more likely he will buy that set than (yeah it is an extreme example but showes everything wrong with Marvel at this point) a She-Hulk set of the "I suffer infinite times more than you, Bruce!"- or Twerking-scene. The only marvel product I liked since Endgame was Guardians 3, but I don´t see anything I want as a playset from that movie.

I wonder: Is Hagrids hut part of the new hogwarts system, too? I love that Lego did not use a single sticker in the boat house and owlery sets, but made all detailes brickbuild. I just wish they closed up the owlery, too. Hagrids hut on the other hand is closed up, but uses stickers... ^^´ So the pessimist in me is expecting the Great hall to be open and full of stickers.... I am glad I bricklinked the best version of each character until now. I don´t understand how Lego can seriously (re)release figures without leg printing (Sirius, Student uniforms, Filch...), if they are wearing a robe or coat, that clearly goes down to the feet. Do you expect the robes to change? That detail bothers me with the figures we got to this point: Gryffindor allway uses the shield symbol divided into 4 parts. Hufflepuff, too. Ravenclaw always has the little raven symbol except for the cheap looking torso with a scarf from the Magical Trunk- Set... Slytherin changed at some point from the shield to a snake symbol. I really wish Lego goes back to the shield symbol. The student robe prints are clearly from the first cmf and Percy from the book. It would be a shame to have uniforms that don´t match in the end...

Thanks! :)

Female figures have eyelashes and lipstick. If you want a solid pearl silver silver surfer, you can get the new silver armoured torso from the space cmf and a head of Zane (?) from Ninjago. If you are open to it, you can take any Zane head and remove some robot printing by polishing it.

Lego allways keeps something back for potential future waves (Like a whole cmf wave of Simpsons characters or Faramir, Eowyn and Witchking in the last Lotr wave) or just cherrypicks in a stupid way, that makes it impossible to get everything important in the end (like the Disney Serieses, where they could have put the 4 most relevant characters of a movie in one series or main protagonist and villain with an important support character in each series, but they choose to put just the main Hero and Villain into one series ...or just one of them alone in some cases. Stitch without Lilo... Hercules and Hades without Megara and Phil... Mulan alone...). I think we should be gratefull for anything we get/have. It is pretty much unpredictable with Lego, if they continue something in my honest opinion.

The new dagger in the dnd cmf reminds me of Drax. We are supposed to get a new Milano, aren't we?

I´d like to see little playsets with mini-/bigfigures. For example Donkey Kong´s hut with Diddy and some others. Characters with less iconic material for builds could get a racing cart.
