Wizarding World 2023 - Rumors & Discussion
BrickBob Studpants replied to Clone OPatra's topic in LEGO Licensed
The three vaults are mostly facades, so the GWP makes more sense now Didn‘t expect the new moulded dragon pieces! At least new to me. So much cool stuff -

It‘s on a baseplate!! Wow, they actually made it 100% compatible with DA -

The leakers have said so from the start. I see no reason to doubt them Whatever the GWP vault ends up being, it pretty much has to be a repeat of one of the three in the set. I can’t imagine them dedicating a GWP set to a location that‘s not visited in the movies. Maybe it‘s more like a vignette or a mini-diorama to distinguish it from the version seen in the big set -

It‘s probably gonna be the Potter vault. The one hosting the philosopher‘s stone is too barren and the Lestrange one too elaborate for a GWP set Not sure what the point is as it‘s not going to be compatible with this set. But hey, gift horse and all… -

There‘s only one thing currently missing to make it the perfect set to me, and that‘s a proper philosopher‘s stone. The description mentioning three vaults and Hagrid being featured strongly implies it‘s gonna be included, but the question is what it looks like. The regular gem and crystal pieces won‘t do this time, I want a trans-red recolour of the gold nugget piece -

The minifig list stems from the set description on brickmerge: https://www.brickmerge.de/76417-1_lego-harry-potter-gringotts-zaubererbank-sammleredition This also confirms that the shop is indeed the Magical Menagerie and that the set is compatible with the DA set. The whole thing is 75cm tall The description also mentions a „hidden surprise“ in the Lestrange vault. Wonder what that could be -

I hope that‘s true!! Sounds like a fantastic minifig selection -

This looks fantastic, in spite of the potato quality of the image There must a really sturdy Technic skeleton in there, hope this is more stable than it looks! Also, I have no idea if it fits on my shelf, given how tall it is. I might have to display the bank and underground section next to each other Edit: Since Hagrid is included, it’s safe to assume that PS Harry is also there. That leaves one repeat -

Nice to have it confirmed! Can‘t wait -

As nostalgic as the 2011 set is to me, the new one is 100% gonna wipe the floor with it It will make the 2011 set look like the 2002 one. Speaking of Gringotts: If the reveal rumour is correct, TLG can be proud of themselves! No leaks this time (unless I just jynxed it) …Then again, that‘s also a good counterargument for why the rumour could be bogus. Anyway, fingers crossed for tomorrow! -

BrickBob Studpants replied to Clone OPatra's topic in LEGO Licensed
Yeah, that doesn‘t make much sense to me either. Why are the choices being so heavily criticised right now, rather than in spring when the list was first leaked? Did people secretly hope the list was somehow wrong? Granted, one character was, but that‘s beside the point. Say what you will about the choices, but the execution looks great! Dual-moulding, arm-printing, new hairpieces, new animal sidekicks, and so on. And why is Agatha one of the characters being singled out? I remember people being very unhappy about her exclusion in Series 1, and now people are annoyed with her inclusion -

While I vastly prefer movies over shows and agree that a lot of the MCU shows are pretty mediocre (and would‘ve been much better served as movies with a lot of the unnecessary fat trimmed), I still wouldn‘t want a CMF series filled with A-listers who constantly appear in sets anyway. And the increased budget is not a good argument to me, given how detailed a lot of the Iron Man minifigs already are To me, that‘s like saying that Minnie, Donald, Daisy, and Goofy should have replaced four characters from Disney S3. Or saying that a third Potter series would need Dumbledore, Luna, and Neville again -

Hasn‘t he recently confirmed that he‘s reprising his role for the second season of What if…? Also, I don‘t get why people want characters like Iron Man or Cap to be featured in a 12 figure series. I‘ll take characters like Echo or Agatha that are very unlikely to appear in sets over overabundant A-listers any day -

We could still get a Kang minifig once the next Avengers movie gets released. Depending on what happens in the meantime, with the likeness of a new actor perhaps? -

So yesterday's grainy leaks were actually real?! Beast and Moon Knight have new pieces after all, huh. And it's another blue series gahhhhhh -

BrickBob Studpants replied to Clone OPatra's topic in LEGO Licensed
Kang, Goliath, whatever. As long as the rumours about Agatha, Hawkeye, Kate Bishop, Moon Knight, Mr Knight, and Werewolf by Night are true, I'm still satisfied with this series -

Oh, the loot box thing. I would say a series of 12 equally rare $5 figures and loot boxes that require thousands of dollars to maybe get you what you want are not the exact same thing Which leaker is it? Brick Clicker doesn't seem to be sure about this one. -
LEGO Star Wars 2023 Set Discussion - READ FIRST POST!!!
BrickBob Studpants replied to MKJoshA's topic in LEGO Star Wars
It is. No idea why, but it's not the first time a random, completely unrelated set gets released alongside a wave dedicated to a new film or show. Remember the ANH Death Star set that was inexplicably released alongside the first TROS wave in 2019? -

In our hearts? I hope the leaflet leaks soon, so this mystery can be put to rest -

Huh. Can we trust the rest of the list then? This all sounds fishy ...qué? -

That doesn‘t make any sense. Not only do Goliath and Kang look nothing alike, what‘s up with the blue extra head then? -

BrickBob Studpants replied to Clone OPatra's topic in LEGO Licensed
Preliminary CMF pictures aren‘t even a thing though. Maybe internally, but the public hasn‘t seen a single one in the last 13 years Also, I highly doubt they‘d be able to replace Kang with another character this quickly. The allegations against Majors came out rather recently. And even if they did replace Kang, why Goliath of all characters? Bill Foster has not suited up so far, so what would they even do, feature a comic version in an MCU series? Not that I would mind a minifig of Lawrence Fishburne, but his character is probably not that high up on anyone‘s MCU wanted list anyway. Probably doesn‘t even crack most people’s top 30 -

This looks fake to me. Moon Knight doesn‘t have the existing hood piece and Beast doesnt have the Wolverine hairpiece as previously rumoured. And if was actually real, why is the picture quality this horrendous? I‘ve seen better Bigfoot and Nessie pictures -

Sort of. There was only one per box, so it was a bit more rare than other minifigs. I wouldn't call it a chase figure though -

When I buy a bag of gummy bears at the grocery store, I wouldn't expect people having thoroughly kneaded it top to bottom to feel for its contents There's a difference between light touching and a strip search. I'm not a germaphobe, mind, I just don't like the thought. The series itself sounds amazing though! My favourite aspects are definitely Kang (to make up for the lack of proper Quantumania sets), the Darkhold, Agatha, purple power blasts (always nice to get them in new colours), Mr Knight, Moon Knight, the scarab, Lucky, the new owl, Werewolf by Night, and the bloodstone. Can't wait for pictures! Also, hoping for red boxart here. I'm sick and tired of blue or white CMF boxart
