@Falconfan1414 is one of the most reliable leakers out there and everyone on this forum can vouch for him We just need to be patient, info will be revealed when it's ready to be revealed

The whole range of MK sets just got leaked and none of the Video minifigs even remotely fit. Why is this suddenly being questioned anyway? It's so obviously Korg's head piece

I'm more than willing to sacrifice new face prints for minor characters like Mrs Flume if this means new prints for more important characters

Even if they decided to prepare the mould that far in advance (which there is no known reason for), why would they already be using said mould in the factories? This wouldn't even make sense if the movie WASN'T pushed back. Let's imagine an alternate timeline where COVID never happened. In that case, they would've started to design the sets roughly in October of 2020, based on the original plans for The Eternals, which was initially also a November release, just like Thor 4. Even in that scenario, there's no way they'd already be producing the sets. That'd be as if we had leaks from the Star Wars sequel trilogy sets in February (these always started to leak in summer btw). We've had early leaks before, but 8 months is just laughable, and since we sadly don't live in that alternate timeline, it's actually 13 months

That makes absolutely no sense, Thor 4 has been pushed back last April, so roughly half a year before the design process of the sets would have started (keep in mind that the whole process takes a year in most cases) So you're suggesting they're already producing sets that won't be designed for another 4 months or so?

New moulds for Fluffy AND the Basilisk? Someone pinch me

Stonewars have published their article as well. Most of the info is congruent with the one provided by promo bricks, HOWEVER, they added one amazing bit of information: according to their sources, the Basilisk will have a moulded head and a moulded tail I hope that's true!

Here I was, expecting to wait for a full month before the next bit of news drops in and now this The goddess of leaks is spoiling us! That would fit quite well I have no idea though where she could fit in though, I think all of her scenes are restricted to the Great Hall. Maybe she’ll appear in the next GH remake in 2024?

If promobricks hadn‘t revealed their scoop last week, we‘d probably be pretty confused right now

Holy cow, is this real? That‘s a month sooner than expected And they‘re making good use of McGonagall‘s hair/hat combo mould

Couldn‘t agree more. Of course I want more, but 5 sets for DH1 & 2 seems fair, considering that‘s the same amount OotP and HBP got last year (if you count DA as a HBP set, which it partially is). If there ends up being a non-DH set among these 5 after all, I hope the rest are able to make up for it

I think he should be included in the CMF series, would make the most sense to me Or at least more sense than a random set or a D2C

The „rumour“ that the $250 set is neither Gringotts nor a DA expansion. Just ignore it, I only brought it up to kill it right in its tracks And I‘m still sceptical, especially at that price point. As cool as the ship is, its screentime is way too short to warrant a set that big. Star Wars is the only theme that‘s allowed to do that, and even then most sets above 100$ depict vehicles and scenes with more screentime than that (the Juggernaut was redeemed by TCW, just to shoot down the most obvious exception) ...unless they combine it with the 2nd task as many have suggested, but even then it shouldn‘t be more than $90 IMO. Seems like a good choice for the second-to-largest set next year, but I can think of more deserving options for this year‘s $120 set

True, but I wanted to twist the knive to make sure that idea stays dead

Personally, I‘m hoping for a recoloured raptor with a striking colour scheme, like bright light orange or dark red. Probably not the most realistic of colours, but neither was the dark blue one we got last year. Or maybe it is realistic after all, I‘m not up to date with current paleontological theories on dinosaur colour schemes

Let’s deflate this new „leak“ on IG before it gets any traction, by which I mean that the $250 set allegedly isn’t Gringotts or a DA expansion. It‘s the same person that also spread that amazing...ly fake „rumour“ about additional Moments sets this summer Honestly, we wouldn‘t even need that tidbit that to disprove this „leak“. A Gringotts set is obviously coming, considering the designers‘ conscious decision to leave it out of the DA set from the get-go. Moreover, since it makes sense for them to share a significant part of their shelf lifes, Gringotts has to be a D2C set too (otherwise it would probably leave shelves long before DA does). And with Hogsmeade being an $80 set, the most obvious competitor for a D2C set has been taken care of as well

That‘s what I‘m hoping for too, but I admit the lack of good side builds is an issue since the smallest set is still 30€... Maybe a power line for Voldy to yell at? Or a random car, TLG loves those after all

*Pedant alert* Actually, Marvolo Gaunt‘s ring is the only one truly missing since the other three were included in the Hogwarts D2C. Sure, the cup was a regular ol‘ cup and the other two were just prints, but still

I‘d love that, but as @spiderfan2000 points out, some of the Horcruxes are easier to include than others. Then again, when has this sort of issue ever stopped TLG Just throw Gaunt’s ring in the Gringotts set where it can double as a random ring and the diadem in a Battle of Hogwarts set and call it a day

Yeah, it‘s pretty hard to argue against that, the Lovegoods‘ house is really much more obscure than any other building they‘ve released so far However, I still think the Tale of the Three Brothers would make for a great GWP

Agreed So far, they've done a really good job with giving the characters scene-appropriate clothing, so I hope that continues with the anniversary sets too, despite some throwback-induced inaccuracies And using the Trolls skirt piece is a neat idea! It's luckily not exclusive to that theme anymore, thanks to Ninjago City Gardens where it was repurposed for some flower pots

So this is what happened to Bellatrix after her death

I think @Falconfan1414 and @Guyon2002 are referring to in-house themes And Star Wars might not be the only theme with releases after June to get leaked soon, or at least that's what I hope

It's reasonable to assume that most of the theme's budget this year went into the delayed JWD sets, so there's not a lot of it left for this additional wave. Personally, I'm expecting 1-2 reissues, a couple of recoloured dinos and maybe one single new one, if we're lucky

When has that ever stopped them? 2001!Quirrell, 2002!Basilisk, 2011!Lupin and 2011!Goyle would like to have a word with you, and so does a majority of Star Wars villains
