  1. Is Fulcrum the only source on this? Not believing it until a reliable leaker confirms it After his No Way Home, Mario CMF, and Rex & Cody accessory pack bullsh*t he first has to earn back my trust
  2. Doesn‘t sound believable to me in the slightest. Not that the ship wouldn‘t deserve the UCS treatment, but that price point would be a bit much A $300 one would be more appropriate IMO. And there‘s no reliable source attached to this rumour
  3. His stache isn’t THAT ridiculous though I really liked that minifig, until the 2018 version came along to show us how it’s really done. The only thing the first reboot has over the current second one is Bellatrix’ dresspiece, or rather its print, not the skirt piece itself. The skirt moulding introduced in 2018 is just so much better than the old slope piece
  4. This really bothered me back then. Harry in the Battle of Hogwarts set looking the exact same as in the Dobby’s release set, uniform and all, was just plain silly Using regular legs for the kids was also an odd decision, considering short legs were already used for a kid character (Boba) the very year they were introduced. The 2010/11 assortment was good for what it was, but the 2018-now stuff blows it out of the water in every regard IMO. Katana Aragog was laughable, the DA D2C almost looks like a regular set by today‘s standards, the unprinted Goblin heads were wayyyy outdated even then, the Burrow is pretty inaccurate overall, Flitwick’s moustache looks goofy, the 4L bars really don’t work as wands, and the lack of mould budget was very apparent The range still has a place in my heart though! Btw, too bad Guyon seems to have left the forum for good. I really would‘ve loved to hear his take on the new sets
  5. Or the rumoured polybag Pretty random, if so, but why not
  6. Yeah, they tend to be among the last sets to be revealed. Baby Groot and the Iron Man 2 set are the only regular ones scheduled for June, right? The Sanctum and Hulkbuster are both D2C sets it seems And then there are the unknown sets scheduled for September! I hope we learn soon what those are
  7. Exactly! I think this wave makes a third CMF series completely superfluous The remaining characters can easily be featured in regular sets.
  8. I have an unpopular opinion: TLG should only cater to me personally and not to anyone else! …I lied. That seems to be the most popular opinion in this thread
  9. Dangit As fun as that would’ve been, I’m celebrating my loss with these amazing sets Xanatos Gambit for the win!
  10. That leaked Voldy head really confuses me Way too early for the D2C or AC, so where could it be from? Pieces from accessory packs never leak, do they?
  11. “We might sneak in [stuff from the later movies] here and there”, Marcos said, staring at the MoM model on his desk, with a demonic grin on his face The only nitpicky thing I dislike about these sets is Yaxley’s faceprint. It’s a very good choice in a vacuum, but why did it have to be the same one they used for Fudge? Reusing faces between themes is ok, but within themes they shouldn’t do that
  12. I can‘t stop drooling over these pictures And did you notice there weren‘t any instruction updates beforehand? Our tried and tested leaking methods are all failing us
  13. I wonder why Harry and Hermione have new faceprints in the Buckbeak set, but not in the Shrieking Shack And is that screaming Harry supposed to be the often ridiculed expression he makes at the very end of PoA? If so, well played. Whoever came up with that deserves a raise. Scratch that, everyone who worked on these should get one
  14. Does anyone know what the tan bat in the Grimmauld Place set is supposed to be? I assume it‘s there for a reason
  15. Holy effin shit!! These are all bloody amazing!! Yaxley with an accurate hairpiece, Thicknesse, the locket, the polyjuiced trio, Cattermole‘s wive? Sirius x3?? Tonks & Kreacher?! Am I dreaming?!?! Pince?!!! And just look at all those details! That‘s it, 2022 is my favourite LEGO year ever, even without Gringotts! I‘m so happy
  16. I forgot there are actually two 40xxx sets! So maybe there‘s still an accessory pack in the cards Could also be another Brickheadz set though. After all, we did get two multi-packs last year
  17. You don’t need Batman-level skills to figure this one out One of the most boneheaded fake leaks I‘ve seen in a long time. Remember, kids: Check if the set numbers already exist on proper set lists Polybags obviously don‘t have regular set numbers
  18. That‘s the issue I have with the costume designs in all three of the FB films. They do look good, but they rely a bit too much on the late 20‘s/early 30‘s aesthetics. It‘s appropriate for blending in, I mean the HP characters also wear regular street cloths a lot, but for Dumbledore especially I expected something a bit more unique. Of course not the robes he‘s wearing in the HP films, just something more out of the ordinary. A grey three-piece suit just doesn‘t scream „Dumbledore“ to me And as a result, it would make for a pretty unspectacular minifig
  19. Just seen the movie, liked it a lot! A definite improvement over CoG Not much potential set-wise, though. Even if there were some, no idea what they could realistically be
  20. Interesting. The number seems to suggest a boxed set. Maybe the nanoscale dioramas are still a thing after all I’ll believe it includes a minifig when I see it
  21. The stand-in for Mrs Norris is just a regular ginger cat. I think we can expect a recolour, but a new mould for her is pretty unlikely considerig that prelims usually feature grey prototype parts
  22. Either that or Kanan‘s ponytail, even though neither fits perfectly Still better than Draco‘s excruciatingly overused hairpiece
  23. Well guess what hairpiece they‘re using in the prelim Granted, we cannot expect a new mould for that, which would be required if the goal was to be as accurate as possible, but I‘m still hopeful it‘s a recoloured version of one of the existing ponytail hairpieces Or maybe they didn‘t realise it even was a ponytail to begin with
  24. June 1st If the pattern stays the same, the sets should be revealed in roughly 2.5 to 3 weeks
