Seeing as it’s creeping close to its retirement date, I would grab it now. Especially with double points going on.

Well shoot…I’m not exactly in a hurry either, but I hope it ships on the 12th. Gives me more time to find a home for it I guess… LEGO seems to be drunk though, it keeps shifting from 60 days to the 14th, back to 60 days…now it says Feb 8th. At this point I’m just gonna check daily to see where it jumps to next.

I have backorder question, and since it’s Barad Dur I’ll ask here. When I ordered it yesterday it said ship Feb 12th. Now it’s saying 60 days. I’ve never ordered a backorder set, am I right to assume mine will still ship on the 12th & the now 60 day is because they got more orders?

You forgot GWP’s are a scam born of greed.

The Calendar was the weakest so far to me. I like the torsos & even more that we got two. The builds just weren’t neat. The real world items were fun & could make for some good photos, but I liked them far more when we got scale builds to make a scene or enhance the castle interior.

We’re definitely getting the Baron. Unless they suddenly change tack & go in a different direction. With each large section we’ve gotten a common room with the accompanying House Ghost.

Just finished building Hagrid & Harry’s Privet Drive Escape & have been trying to see who those Death Eater masks are. One looks to be Bellatrix…but I can’t find a list of masks & who wore them, if they’re not all generic or unnamed.

Ha, I’m with you! We have a handful of classrooms that have nowhere to go. Once this system is finally done, may have to build our own empty castle section.

Something I just realized(and very well could’ve been mentioned pages back) is that with each castle section we’ve gotten a common room with their respective House Ghost(starting off with the best House, Hufflepuff) So we’ll finally be getting the Bloody Baron with Slytherin’s common room next. I’d also like to see a remake, and better, Whomping Willow. It would probably be too much to hope for just the tree & Anglia…but it would be nice if no castle part was added so they could focus on the Willow.

If they didn’t have budget for a full grown doe, then that would definitely be a happy medium.

Man! Since this post I have more than doubled my collection. 1064 and 531,739 parts. My rank is now 4961. when I look at how many sets I want to add to my city but don’t have the space…I realize I have a large collection. Then I look at the general state of my Lego room, unopened sets piling up, bags of parts, piles of instructions….I think maybe I have too much(but then I come to my senses, that’s not a thing).

Ahh, okay. I was looking at the small Architecture Castle set to see maybe where it went. Nothing I saw that didn’t have a gray roof. It’s nice to see them adding to that side of the castle, something for the lonely greenhouse.

I’d like to see a full building Grimmauld Place. The one we got is pretty nice, but it’s just a facade. I have had plans to enclose it…but if LEGO would do it, that would save me time & part buying. To the castle, where is the First Flying Lesson chunk meant to go? It’s at the back of the instructions as part of the system, but it doesn’t show how it connects.

Pretty sure I’ve said this before, but considering how much their mech builds have been improving these last couple years, a Gundam license would be awesome(G or Wing would be my preference).

When I went on the first to get The Goonies set I was hoping to grab the T-Rex set as well. But they only had a few sets, not on the shelves, but a little display square.
