Anyone know why the Vault GWP doesn't show up on the UK Lego site? I only get Quidditch Practice?
-
Marcus Belby would be great. Rob Knox, the actor who played him went to my old school and lived nearby. He was only 18 when he was murdered in 2008 trying to break up a fight.

Just seen your layout. Brilliant job, I love it.
-
Better than expected but just ok really. Sure the interiors are pretty good, but no better than the past few years. Overall a downgrade on what they could have been if they'd stuck with the 2018-20 style.

Haven’t posted here for a while as I’ve been completely underwhelmed by this years leaks and sets. My number one wish was for Gringotts as the DA set is absolutely stunning. I’ve no real interest in endless variations of the trio or even new versions of existing characters, so just Hogsmead for me this year and mini figures like Sinistra and Colin Creavy on BL.
-
Scarlett Witch is in mine too. Santa was on the roof of QQS briefly over Christmas. Does he count?
-
Betting case is easy to find. It feels like a book but thicker and you can feel the handle. I remembered it from the FB collection as both Newt and Jacob had them.
-
Nice surprise this evening. After receiving DA yesterday, LEGO sent me another email telling me the Brickheadz GWP I missed will be delivered over the weekend. Can't fault that for customer service. Update: Saturday 10am: Brickheadz arrived. That was super quick.
-
Nice! Ours is spread out across the living room floor at the moment, much to my wife's dismay. It's been there so long Hogwarts has real spiders living in it sometimes. The kids game seems to involve some sort of Avengers mash-up as Thanos and Voldemort have teamed up. I've been told to tidy it up a bit before I'm allowed to start building DA.
-
Nope but found a box in Sainsbury's last Saturday and felt out a full set. Maybe you could try there if you have one local to you.
-
Gutted for you. Mine arrived this afternoon, also via DPD, with a tennis-ball sized hole punched through the outside box. Luckily it hadn't damaged the DA box itself. Hope you get it sorted quickly.
-
DA just arrived via dpd. Looks amazing. Will wait until the weekend to start building it with my sons.
-
Tried twice yesterday for the same reason - 15 mins and then 25 mins with no answer. I was working from home so couldn't wait any longer. I've no interest in Brickheadz really, but as I still need The Burrow, AC, plus a couple of 2019 sets I might go into our nearest store (Bluewater) and try to get the polybag too. I did sent them an email anyway, just in case that works. Says my order has shipped now so will wait and see.
-
Found them in Sainsbury's, Bexleyheath on Saturday. Stood there for about 25 minutes until I'd found them all. Nobody said anything at all. I did make sure I used hand sanitiser before and after of course.
-
I ordered in the UK at about 11.35 pm, and don't have the GWP. Interestingly my order confirmation says I placed the order 1st September, so I'm definitely going to ask Customer Services to add it to my order.
-
Ordered in UK. Didn't bother waiting until midnight for the GWP. Pretty poor of Lego to make DA available before midnight but not the GWP. Luckily I have zero interest in Brickheadz. But my son would've like it.
-
They are all great to be honest, loads of detail. It was Bexleyheath, SE London by the way.
-
Sorry if this is old news but I picked up a full CMF2 set in Sainsbury's here in the UK yesterday. The box was just on the shelf so I could feel the bags. Used hand sanitiser before and after of course.
-
I really like this set, and I think it will actually be bigger in real-life than it looks in the pictures. Lego appear to have done a great job getting the crookedness of DA and I've no problem with the pink on QQS, which I know some of us are unhappy with. Nice touch having Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff Quidditch costumes, wonder if they've thrown in cloaks? The missing harry is intriguing but I'd expect a polypag rather than a really cool DA Entrance GWP. I think that is wish list stuff really. Minifigures are ok. I prefer new robe types than more Hermione and Ron in stripy jumpers, Harry in a zip up variants anyway. Overall, very happy with this one.

Barnabus Cuffe makes sense as he runs the Daily Prophet
-
Did we get Zabini in 2011?
-
Really like the AT, but not bothered about another Harry in tux, Hermione in a party dress, or any more casual clothes.. Draco in Slytherin robes is the best minifigure in this set in my opinion. Burrow looks wonderful and I never had the previous version so really pleased with that. RoR is the best of the rest. Wonder if a few of those could be used to build up extra castle walls between the larger sets? I'll buy them all of course and can't wait for DA to reveal. Stay safe all!
-
To be honest, I'm never that bothered about the character's civilian clothes. My family and I all love the Harry Potter books and films and have read / watched them countless times. But even now, I'd struggle to remember what clothes the characters had on in each scene. What I'd really love are Hogwarts robes, sweaters and Quidditch robes for each of the houses. Preferably in battle packs, but that's just being greedy now. Roll on the new set reveals! Most excited about the Astronomy Tower.
-
In the CMF, I definitely prefer the more obscure characters. Ideally I'd like figures with non-Gryffindor Hogwarts robes, and one each with Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw Quidditch uniforms. Other than that, not bothered at all.
-
Looks nice, but I'll give it a swerve this year and spend the money on Harry Potter instead. I'm not a speculator, so I'd be happy if they just release the WV sets prior to Santa's Workshop when I started buying them.
