Dobby and Sprout say hi I definitely wouldn’t mind him showing up again in a future set, preferably based on OotP or DH (basically the real Moody, not his impostor)

Thanks for your hints, much appreciated

Friends with benefits in a Looney Tunes context? This one’s pretty cryptic Either way, the human characters like Elmer Fudd, Yosemite Sam or Granny all appear to be missing. Don’t get me wrong, the selection sounds great, but I’m already hoping for a second series

So no skunk, like I was suggesting

#5 has to be Tweety, who else is small enough to theoretically be considered as an accessory to another character?

That’s Porky, his torso leaked near the end of February

Let’s play Bugs Lola Daffy Sylvester Tweety (is male though) Marvin Porky ? Taz Wile Road runner Speedy If so, excellent choices Not sure who Porky’s friend is, the only ones I can think of are elsewhere on the list

I would say the pixie is a pretty good indication that a DADA classroom is included Hopefully with a play function that lets you drop the dragon skeleton from the ceiling

That would just be a bonus anyway Seeing the inner workings of TLG and meeting the designers are obviously the main attractions

If this was meant to be a golden Hedwig, it would definitely have at least face printing. Combine this with the fact we‘re getting a new GH, and it‘s not hard to reach a conclusion what this is for

Yeah, it‘s around 2000€ (flights & additional accomodation not included of course). Well, that‘s pretty much the travel money I would have spent on the two vacations I couldn‘t do this and last year, so I think I can justify it as compensation for two horrible years Sounds excellent then! Too bad one can’t apply at the moment since it‘s been put on hold for the time being, but I will try to apply as soon as it’s possible again I‘ll simply send them a picture of my collection, that alone should prove my worthiness Btw, since you were there in 2019, did you see some of the 2020 sets? I‘ve read somewhere that you usually get to see new sets in development during the tour, and of course you need to sign an NDA afterwards

That‘s the only explanation for the lack of printing

You actually did that? That’s amazing Looks like we have to thank you personally for the increase in owls Btw, can you recommend the inside tour? I’ve heard so many great things about it and always wanted to go, but the price has kept me back. After the whole ‘rona thing is over, I need to look into it again

No idea, but I think HP would make the most sense Neither of the upcoming City subthemes (stunts and wildlife) would make much sense, and neither would any of the other themes. Granted, there is no named barn owl in any of the HP movies AFAIK, but it’s still the most likely option

That’s a really good question The build isn’t bad, but I’m sure the new one will be leagues better, despite being smaller. The vehicles are definitely nothing to write home about. Minifig-wise, there’s not much of interest included, as you point out. Nebula perhaps, if you don’t already own her 2014 or 2017 counterparts? And maybe the infinity gauntlet, which surely isn’t included in the remake In essence, the new one already renders this set pretty much superfluous, even without having seen it

The new lion cub mould leaked, it’s so adorable There’s a new Friends raccoon mould too, but like all minidoll animal moulds I just wish they used the same ones across themes

I know My point was that the people who that “leak” on IG is targeted towards are very unlikely to have missed the real information. If I were to spread fake rumours/leaks about DH sets, I would do it in a place where people are less likely to know the truth, like the cesspool that calls itself FB. Definitely not on the turf of the real leakers (IG, EB, & YT)

The crocodile from that City set has leaked, and it’s green (rather than dark green), just like the creature hatching out of the egg. Case closed

Oh, sweet summer children I do wonder how they’ve managed to miss the news then, the set list has been all over IG too

Who are they even trying to fool at this point

The Quidditch set is not a playset though, it's a brick-built object

I don't get that reasoning at all. The deal between TLG and the fan creators only concerns the one set they suggested, the rest is between the licenser and TLG. Do you honestly expect TLG to say "sorry Columbia, we can't do more than one Ghostbusters set, that would be unfair to the person who had the idea to turn something from your IP into a set". By your logic, the Minecraft theme wouldn't exist

A golden minifig by any chance?

Don't you mean 64?

@living_off_lego: Technically, the sets were in the catalogue, but they had code names and were simply represented by black boxes
