    I think Gringotts will be a $100 Dragon Escape set next year... :hmpf_bad:

    If they do, I doubt they would do the actual building.

     

    May be  LC will have prints instead of stickers. It wouldn't make sense to leave it out of the set especially since Lego may never return to DA as a whole.

    I think that if Lego was going to include Leaky Cauldron they would have it be the first thing you built as it is not on the first or second sticker sheet that suggest it wont be included because I do not think they would save the entrance to DA for the last thing you built.

    Lego has things built out of order all the time.  That doesn't mean it won't be included.

    No Gringotts all but confirms a gringotts escape set next year. The chances are very high at the least. 

    That scene takes place under ground.  If a set is does done of it, it will probably largely consist of the dragon and may be some vaults. I doubt Lego would include the physical building.

    Looks like the Daily Prophet, Olivanders, Quality Quiditch Supplies, looks like the Leaky Cauldron wall where we see Sirius’s wanted poster is there too. Too low quality for me to read much more

    Hopefully that means that the Leaky Cauldron is included.  Don't see any stickers for Gringotts though. Hopefully that doesn't mean that it's not included.

    When did you guys say the advent calendar was officially revealed last year? Right now I’m most interested in that haha. Is it likely at all that they will leave out the other twin?

    I don't see that as being likely considering that the to don't have much of a role (in the movies) outside of the yule ball.

    Yeah, it’s still happening, people are expecting something official around mid-June

    Ah.

     

     

    On the bright side,  kingnono falsely leading us on  means that we don't what the last seven figures in the CMF will  be or anything about the figures on DA.   For those not wanting multiple versions of the trio in the set, there might not be.

    I just looked and the 2nd wave for harry potter was revealed on may 11. The advent calender and knight bus were revealed in April. The reveal for these sets are long over due. I wouldn't be suprised if they get revealed in the next week or so. Maybe once the first wave come out.

    I would think that they would be revealed closer to the end of June

    They could include the telephone booth as a play feature in some weird way :def_shrug:

    That's true but when trying  to picture it it seems like it would be difficult to pull off.  Perhaps it could be done as  a feature similar to  the costme changing feature for batman in the 2012 or 2019 bat cave?

    Someone on Youtube has reviewed the room of requirement and got duplicates of Harry’s torso instead of Hermione’s, odd.

     

    That's odd. With so many of the sets being made, some slip ups make sense.


  9. So then  the mystery set could  theoretically be any underground scene.  Lego has already shown this year that they aren't afraid to back track so perhaps  the Mom battle isn't the most likely choice for the set after all.    

     

    Although I still don't think that Lego could  make a good Fluffy in a $50 set.

    The tops are sand green casue that's accurate. 

    the base of the other two just isn't being produced in dark grey at the moment.

     

    Printed Mandrakes is almost another insult to the lack of other minifigure prints.     The mandrakes aren't even shown in any image on the box of website.

    Ah, I din't know that was accurate.  It's good to  have detail for magical creatures ,even if they're as minor as the mandrake.  Also all the figures in the Astronomy tower have at least one new print.

    oh i do not like the old mandrake.

    Also I forgot that  the old mandrake had printing. Probably intentionally forgot about it because that is horrible.

    I don’t think anyone has mentioned this yet, but what if the “iconic underground scene” kingnono mentioned is based on the climax of Sorcerer’s Stone? I would actually love that, a new Fluffy would be amazing

    I would  love that too but Fluffy would probably be brick built since most of the magical creatures have been done that way.  I think if they were to then it would have to be closer to $100  since Fluffy alone would take up a lot of pieces.  No body has mentioned that yet though

    Thank you,  Ice Brick and Brick Guru for your reply to the newbie . 

    Oh you're welcome.

    I’ve just been looking through the speed build of the Astronomy Tower and the print on the Mandrakes is actually different to the one in the CMF series! They’re the same piece and both have arms printed on but the one in the set has a wide open screaming mouth whereas judging by the pic of the one with sprout it’s mouth is much thinner in a line. Which means we’ll have 3 unique Mandrake looks! 

    That's actually really cool to hear because I was worried that the CMF series reused the print. It's nice to see  how Lego is giving love to the magical creatures in the reboot.  I mean we didn't  get printing for the mandrake in the original line, let alone 3.

    This set is so great, but after this review I'm even more bugged by those sand green parts, they are really off.

     Yeah the sand green is a really interesting choice. I wonder if there could be a in universe reason. Like, perhaps cold the top  of the tower be more weathered in comparison to the rest of the castle?
