The biggest mystery to me are the buildable figures. Those can't still be $120, right? Because if they were, the chess set would be $70 (or smaller), which I can't see really working, and neither would Fawkes at $40

I think we need some clarification whether it's just the numbers, prices and names that were swapped around. I doubt there's an entirely new set swooping in. If so, the D2C has to be one of the two that were left unrevealed, one of which has to be Quidditch-related

Looks like it I feel a bit bad for the people who were (briefly) looking forward to a $250 chess set, but a $120 one will surely be nice as well. Don't jump to conclusions, you'll only set yourself up for disappointment... again

Don't get hyped But still, this opens up some interesting possibilities.

I like the way you think This whole thing is just hilarious to me, I'm having a ball right now

There's one we didn't know anything about, maybe it's that one Calm down, no need to jump to conclusions

I've just had a horrible thought, well at least horrible for my liking: the Quidditch set is back on the menu, boys

Yes, if the chess set is the $120 one, which means the buildable figures are A LOT smaller than we thought

I'm confused, yet again If the chess set isn't the D2C, which one is it? The buildable figures?

Indeed, prelims can only be trusted to a certain extent. I think both options are still on the table, and personally I have no idea which costume I would prefer

Remember folks, that could have been us if it weren’t for our trusted leakers and informants

It’s not impossible, but both leaks (1HY and 2HY) must’ve had consequences for the retailers involved. Those two sources have been burned for good, I think The first could still claim someone took pictures of the catalogue without them knowing, but the second one proudly displayed them on their website

And we should consider ourselves lucky we’ve even seen leaks like these again, let alone twice in a row

The June minifigs are so good, I’m not even that mad at the August wave any more Which minifig do you want to see next? My pick is Lockhart, I want to see which outfit they chose We don’t actually know. Depends on whether promobricks confused Guirrell with Goldemort or whether the initial plan was changed somewhere in the design process

Indeed, but only when a known retailer is involved

I wonder if the final version will include a tail as well That’d be the icing on the cake. The regular cat tail piece does exist in reddish brown thanks to the flagship of the third Monkie Kid wave, so it’d be quite easy to include it here Easier than acquiring it yourself at least

So roughly double the size of the Ideas set? Impressive, if so

That sad expression is just adorable

Actually, no. I know people love to complain about it, but I see nothing wrong with the minifig selection in the DA set Arthur is the only notable omission in my eyes, and expecting random shoppers to be included was a bit far-fetched from the get-go

That was the very first thing I did when the first two sets were released Just as creepy as one would expect

That piece only exists in three colours, none of which are all that useful in this context (yellow, dark turquoise, and medium blue). Or do you mean painting it or something? Heresy

I wish they’d use that piece more often After all, it’s neither colour-locked nor exclusive to the Trolls theme, as it recently got repurposed as a flower pot in the Ninjago City Gardens set

I couldn‘t find another thread for this (the other Friends theme existing certainly didn‘t help), so I decided to create a new one. If there‘s another one around, please merge them So, as you might be aware, there have been rumours of a second set based on the sitcom. Today, the rumours have panned out because a new minifig of Monica leaked Does anyone remember the rumoured price point or part count? Or set number? I don’t think the initial rumours were taken seriously, because nobody picked them up Thanks to @Guyon2002 & @Seaber for the detective work

🎶 It was Monica all along

It‘s hard to tell for sure whether the hair piece is black or dark brown, but it looks black to me, which would be consistent with the previous minifig
