    A friend and I go a couple times a year, if not more, on release day. Best of all so we don’t have to wait for shipping. But then there’s the parts wall & minifig bins to look through and see if there’s anything good to find. Plus, it’s just fun going to LEGO stores.

    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.

    This is tricky. I want to say acknowledging adults, but honestly, I’m not sure. I think that really fueled the recent price hike… And a big focus for me has been Harry Potter & Monkie Kid. Since the HP reboot they’ve been knocking it out of the park. The wands still continue to awe me(considering they used a bar in the 20101/2011 reboot). And now the wands that you can attach parts to. MK gave us some of the best minifigs of the last couple years. Creative designs & cool new parts. So I’m gonna say the minds behind the themes we have & love. They continue to improve, impress, & surprise us.

    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).
  14. Vindicare
    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).

    I was hoping for something more baseplate friendly, only to make it fit better. But holy cow is this fantastic! Loved it from pictures but then watched the designer interview & I'm very excited to get it. I like the straight(ish) line layout f can possibly make it work with the Modulars. For me, as someone who hasn’t kept up with the show, the minifig lineup is good, but not overly exciting. I would prefer more townsfolk in a set like this.

    Couldn’t agree more. I get it tech is the *the* thing but it doesn’t have to be everywhere. Plus, we all know TLG’s track record with apps & all that. They’ve gotten this far largely without it…I wish they would just give up on that stuff. I imagine it would be neat for a few minutes to hear spells being cast & maybe some kind of casting noise…but I feel like the gimmick would fade. Like with the Sorting Hat. Hit it a few times when I built it, haven’t touched it since.

    Well, this theme sure is going out with a bang! I love those crystal fox creature things. I dig that we get so many colors.

    With the pigeons & rat I thought it was NY. It’s the same on instagram. A lot of criticisms of it looking like a Creator set despite having none of the characteristics of being a Creator set. No open back & not even remotely the same size. One person said on numerous accounts that it looks like something from Rebrickable, and it seemed like an insult. Looking at the windows they’re inset. So unless they have jumper plates on the inside floating or on 1x2’s that piece could be that 2x2 brick with grooves. Me & buddy looked over that area yesterday once he spotted the part. He’s hoping it’s the 1x2 for sure.

    I really like it. It’s very reminiscent of a design idea of the Boutique Hotel. Love the dark orange/tan combo. And dark blue on the roof is great. Sand green is always a good decision. Love the layout of the buildings. It looks like they’re connected, but it also vaguely looks like there might be a walkway between(or steps getting into the music shop). I was looking over my city wondering where to put it. I was hoping it would be a 32x32 because that would be easiest. But with the name, I figured it would be at least 48…so I have some work ahead of me.

    Love the tiger shark tank! I just need better pics to see the parts & see if I can remake it in sand blue for Garmadon.

    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.
  24. Vindicare
    This is amazing! The creativity & ingenuity is very impressive. I absolutely love the dragon, but I might love this more.
  25. Vindicare
    Man…what happened to this theme? The location sets were by far some of the best sets they’ve done….nd they’re suddenly done making them? Did this theme get. Whole new design team? Neither of this years offerings, much like last years, do much for me. And only two mini figs in the bigger set is insulting.
