Model train enthusiasts have it...why not us AFOL's!?!?!?

Appreciate your thoughts...there is a new hashtag #poorwishlist followed by #tryharder

Thank you! I forget to check stories, you can tell I am not an Instagrammer! Gringotts for $80...no way, unless it is just the dragon itself...then we get Gringotts in the DA expansion? That seems strange...if you couldn't afford the DA expansion what would be the point of just buying the dragon on its own with no bank to put it in! And Quidditch for $60...maybe just the booth/stand with the minster etc... new figures? You wouldn't get much of Hogsmeade for $130 either. Thank you.

I am there and see a list for every theme but HP, just a piece count and price point? Can you share your thoughts on what you think is wrong with the list...are you allowed to post the list on here for us?

#legoleaks ??? I don't see it?

I am in Canada but wouldn't cost much to throw those in an envelope with some card to protect them and pout them in the mail. Send me a private message so we can take this offline :)

Not sure if this is allowed on the forum so forgive me if it is not. I bought the 4 classroom sets (which I totally could not afford to do!) to get the minifigures and add some pieces to my brick collection. Since I am not building the sets per se as they should be, I have the 4 sticker sheets left over. I was going to ebay them to try and offset a tiny bit of the cost of buying the sets but figured you good people here on the forum are much more dedicated and deserving than some random who buys them on ebay. If anyone would like to buy them please send me a message. They would be great for spares or if someone is doing a Hogwarts MOC I see them being of use. Again sorry if this is against the rules and if so I will remove the post right away.

Agreed, it looks less like a book and more like......some weird boom box?!? It needed fewer varying brown tones and 'sections' so it was more consistent across the cover, really does not look much like the actual book in the film and looks like a bunch of random bits stuck together. I am pretty much a completist with these sets but this is my first hard no in a long time.

Have the images of he classroom sets been removed from Instagram? I have scrolled and scrolled through the feed and don't se them?

This made me laugh out loud, bravo! Years since I saw that episode but it instantly came flooding back and this is a perfect scenario to use the 'Steamed Hams' rationale.

My CMF2 arrived today in Canada from The Minifigure Store in the UK. 3 weeks exactly. FYI for any Canadians that pre-ordered through them.

Well there you go, definitely a trend. I wish mine had been under the line because yes you could just cut it off. I thought about cutting mine into 3 pieces, removing the bad bit then trying to line it up again but if it went wrong, I would have lost the sticker. My way with the overlay meant I had many chances to get it right. Weird how it is that 1 sticker each time...

Maybe they will be worth millions in the future like the penny black upside down Victorian postage stamp in England all those years ago....or we just have a bad set haha. One or the other. 50/50. I have looked at it A LOT tonight and have made peace with my sticker overlay fix, but only after convincing myself that the sign on the store got damaged with Weasley firework and instead of using magic they got a muggle carpenter in to fix the sign with a new bit of wood on top of the old. Justified.

AH got it, literally the tape! 29R0 for mine

Sorry, when you say 'tape' what do you mean? On the actual shipping box?
