Minifig-wise, there would be enough new stuff, I’ll give you that, but I was more thinking in terms of actual set material I doubt there‘ll be new vehicles or locations, so a potential set (or wave of sets) would have to mostly consist of remakes, which would be pretty pointless if you consider the sales of the previous versions since updated designs of the same sets probably wouldn‘t help all that much in that regard... And regarding the niche-ness (?) of Snyder Cut sets: Sure, the Mandalorian also got sets, but it‘s Star Wars, so of course it did. We still don‘t know whether the Marvel shows will have sets based on them, and if they don‘t, Snyder Cut sets have even less of a chance. And no matter how different the mini-series will be, in its core it‘s still a new version of an existing film

Maybe it‘s still below the threshold? In Switzerland at least, the Astronomy Tower is enough to „unlock“ the GWP, but the Hogwarts Express for instance is just 1CHF short of that

If it truly doesn’t include any minifigs, this would be a huge step back from every UCS-style D2C set they‘ve released since 2014 Also, it’s not like there‘s a lack of new characters or versions to choose from when it comes to the 89 movie The only excuse I would accept are budgetary reasons, but even then that reasoning would be pretty flimsy

Or maybe they‘re delaying it deliberately for their two minutes of IG fame

I don‘t see why this one shouldn‘t have minifigs when the Burtonmobile did I mean when was the last time they released a set with a UCS-style plaque like that that didn‘t include at least one minifig? (The GWP Batmobile doesn‘t count ) The only pictures we have thus far only show the cover of the instructions. The cover of the Burtonmobile‘s instruction booklet also didn‘t show off the minifigs, so until some shots from within the booklet leak, there‘s still a chance

A new picture of the cover of the Batwing’s instruction booklet has leaked Still no sign of the minifigs though

Have your TSFKATRC s@h pre-orders been dispatched yet? For mine, it still says „contact customer service“. This has happened for other pre-orders as well like the Mario starter pack (due to some Paypal shenanigans), but in those cases, no further action was necessary

In my opinion, Grimmauld Place would make for a pretty weak D2C. The interior would be neat with the family tree and everything, but its exterior is just a regular-looking old building sandwiched between two other regular-looking old buildings. I just fail to see the mass-appeal of such a set. Personally, I think Hogsmeade would be the preferable option

What gives you that idea? The Burtonmobile didn‘t show its minifigs on the front of the box, so it shouldn‘t be surprising that there weren‘t any on the leaked Batwing picture either (which seems to show the instruction booklet anyway)

The polybag is a LEGO store exclusive GWP I think, so on s@h you "only" get the Brickheadz

Meh, not gonna risk it But thanks for the suggestions!

Dangit, no GWP for me Bricklink away...

Placed my order, hope it worked

Where have they leaked exactly? Can't find anything on IG Edit: Never mind, it was under a different hashtag Interesting parts, but I'm not sure the tiger head piece would work all that well for Tigger tbh

This looks amazing, but it's very hard to display it like that and as @Terrasher points out, you can't make out the details But it's great they're offering it as an option

The pattern so far is a D2C set every second year. Of course such patterns only exist in our heads (there‘s no official rule mandating that after all, just look at the recently leaked Batwing which breaks both the DC and Marvel D2C schedules), but I still don‘t expect it to change all of a sudden Unless a rumour to the contrary shows up, I don‘t think we’ll see the next D2C set before autumn 2022.

I wouldn‘t worry too soon First off, we don‘t know its price point (if Gringotts gets released next year in the first place, but I‘m optimistic). For all we know, it could be 150$. Secondly, it doesn‘t have to include tracks, it could just be the front, the dragon, one or two cash desks and part of the vault. Or just the front and the dragon, works for me too Lastly, they could split the set into two individual ones and release the dragon, tracks, and Bellatrix‘ vault as its own set. Not exactly all that realistic, but you never know. Whatever it ends up being, I think after the last 3 years we can trust the designers to do it justice

It pretty much has to be since it’d be quite silly to release a Gringotts set in the same year where the focus shifts to DH and NOT base it on one of the bigger set pieces in DH Part 2 The only thing that worries me is the size The Ukrainian Ironbelly would have to be included, which would take up quite a lot of pieces I think, so this would have to be well beyond 100$ to fit in scale-wise.

I meant it would‘ve been a huge surprise today if we didn‘t already know about the Harry minifig It‘s not often we learn about a new figure in a set that was already leaked BTW, check out the review by @Ashnflash who also shows some of the ways you can display the set

It‘s part of the set and includes the parts to build the secret stand + PS Harry minifig It‘s an amazing idea I think! Too bad it was spoiled by the leak in July

I wonder why the stand + PS Harry are being kept a secret... Sure, the set has enough selling points as is, but I‘ve never heard of a set including a bonus build + minifig that aren‘t shown anywhere on the box or in official images I‘m not complaining though, imagine finding something like that when building a new set without ever having heard about it first, I‘d probably fall out off the chair if I was in that situation Oh, and Lockhart‘s alternate facial expression is amazing

I‘m a collector and a purist one at that, so I have no experience with custom layouts Anyway, you‘re hereby sentenced to having to spend money on 15 individual M€g@blöck sets not only for mutilating innocent baseplates, but also for destroying my faith in Jang (who cannot be punished accordingly because he willingly buys that stuff)

Meh. I'm not sure they could do much they haven't already covered in the three sets the theatrical cut got, which apparently didn't sell all that well to begin with. And sets specifically based on a streaming-exclusive director's cut might be a bit too niche

Heresy! You're hereby banished from ever touching a poor baseplate again! ...if you weren't outside of my jurisdiction
