Ah cool. Another great one to see would be a Wendigo, they've got a really distinctive design.

Ooh I love the idea of a Mothman figure! I haven't looked through the other series for a while, what other Cryptids are there?

Latest impact of other themes on historic themes

They're on an instagram page called #legoleaks. You don't need an account, you can just google and it should come up. It might take a bit of scrolling down to find them as there's quite a lot of spam on there but you should find them -
Updating Your Harry Potter Minifigures
Darth Shadowthrone replied to Seaber's topic in LEGO Licensed
I went to a build-a-minifigure store for the first time a few months ago and found a few elements that are really fun to add to Harry Potter figures! Diagon Alley bystanders. The white-bearded Wizard at the back is my favourite. The front right is a OotP Sirius Black, who looked like he'd fit in here. Salazar Slytherin and the Bloody Baron. I thought Slytherin should look a lot more evil than the Hogwarts UCS version so had some fun giving him a snake tail. One thing I loved about the build-a-minifigure was all the different hairpieces! The witch's hat feels perfect for Molly Weasley while I loved my Mcgonagall minifigure finally being able to have hair under her hat. All of my customised figures together -
Marvel Superheroes 2020 - Rumors & Discussion
Darth Shadowthrone replied to Captain Nemo's topic in LEGO Licensed
With several Minions sets being delayed because of the film release I think the same could happen for the Eternals sets in November. If the Black Widow release gets pushed back to that slot we might not see the Eternals sets until next year. -
Future Harry Potter Set Ideas/Speculation
Darth Shadowthrone replied to 2lazeetomakeaname's topic in LEGO Licensed
Yeah I did think they could include two masked Death Eaters and Greyback if they wanted to recreate Ollivander's abduction at the start of Half-Blood Prince. I doubt they'd put a play function in such a big set tho and it would be a shame if the only way we can get OotP / HBP Death Eaters is in a massive D2C. Maybe they could include a Death Eater masked head as a manikin in the Room of Requirement set? -

Darth Shadowthrone replied to 2lazeetomakeaname's topic in LEGO Licensed
Yes to the Death Eaters! I always loved their design in Order of the Phoenix and have always been annoyed how hard they are to get. I was really hoping for the Veil battle too but it looks like there's just going to be the burrow and the (still amazing) Diagon Alley. Also I think alternate disguises could work just like Percival Graves and Grindelwald, alternate faces and extra hair should do the trick. I care more about new characters than costumes so I'd hope that Yule Bowl Cho and Neville wouldn't take up spaces in a CMF but a Advent Calendar set sounds perfect! That sort of thing would be a great way to include the Patil Twins especially, and maybe even a Moody or Filch variant considering they're harder to get now. -
LEGO Ninjago 2020

The troll looks pretty fun, a bit more eastern-styled than I was expecting with the ponytail. Also it looks like the neck attachment armour has a slot at the back for a katana? -

I agree, if Wormtail didn't get medium legs then Sprout definitely won't. The 2011 figure with the dress piece actually ended up taller than a normal figure so I think we'd be lucky with a new dress -

If Lucius, Lockhart, Rita Skeeter and Tonks are all in the CMF series I'll be very happy as I'd go out of my way to get all those characters apart from maybe Rita. However, if all of them apart from Rita are spread out in sets I'd be a bit less happy as I'm definitely not getting the Burrow because I have the 2010 one. However, if Lucius and Lockhart were to be in Diagon Alley that would suggest to me that both Flourish and Blotts (the book shop) and Borgin and Burkes would be included, which would be fun. -

Draco in slytherin robes with a ferret would be amazing! The ferret could reuse Hermione's otter mould (there's a bit of a size difference irl but Lego have always had that problem). -
Future Harry Potter Set Ideas/Speculation
Darth Shadowthrone replied to 2lazeetomakeaname's topic in LEGO Licensed
I've been beaten to the punch on a lot of sets here, such great ideas! For one that's a bit out-there I would go for the Ministry set - I just really want the Atrium in Lego. It's even in the Harry Potter world here in the UK, it's possibly the most iconic part of Harry Potter we've never gotten in Lego. If it was based on Deathly Hallows Lego would also not have to bother with the Department of Ministries and just include the courtroom, elevator and Atrium. I'm imagining the Atrium being the bottom bit and then the offices with their red and green coloured brick hiding the Courthouse behind, with Umbridge's office being hidden in the floor above so the elevator is hidden. Please Lego! Minifigures could be: Harry (as Yaxley), Ron (as Reggie), Hermione (in disguise), the Death Eater with the blond ponytale, Umbridge and two Dementors. Also if the third Fantastic Beasts film does come out next year I had the idea of a tie-in magical creatures mini-wave of sets. This would allow Lego to go back to sets they missed out: the Troll in the girl's bathroom, Fluffy and the Third Corridor, the Chamber of Secrets, Werewolf Lupin vs Padfoot, the Underwater Task and a set with thestrals from Order of the Phoenix (why these seem to be omitted this year I do not know). Also I really really need a Zouwu and the Swooping Evil from the Fantastic Beast films, as well as Nagini's human form and young Dumbledore. Surely that's not too much to ask -

Thanks for reminding me, looking forward to seeing that! -

Thanks, that's what I thought. Maybe that means we'll get all the regular sets in June (in some places at least) and then just the D2C later on. -
Harry Potter 2020 - Rumors & Discussion
Darth Shadowthrone replied to Captain Nemo's topic in LEGO Licensed
Thanks for reminding me of that, it's really hard to keep up with all these vague hints . I really hope they amount to something and isn't just someone reading this forum or #legoleaks and messing with us. Just looked through KingNono's account and seen that the first four hints were for Burrow figures (Ginny, Molly, Arthur and Bellatrix) while the Rita Skeeter and two latest hints are very odd. What confuses me is how figures from a Burrow (if that's what Bellatrix and Fenrir are) are leaking already if it is due for August. Monkey King is releasing in May now so there are any other figure leaks that have come from August? -

Darth Shadowthrone replied to Captain Nemo's topic in LEGO Licensed
I can't see it being a figure from the cmf as no one knows what the final 7 figures will be so I can't imagine the clue is referring to James Potter. Lucius wouldn't fit into any of the sets we know of at the moment apart from Diagon Alley, but there's no chance those figures are leaking already (I think). It's probably just Arthur Weasley, but that could mean Ron is included in the Burrow too. -

That’s a funny coincidence as the 2010 figure used Hermione’s old hairpiece . I agree the new one recoloured would look very accurate. -
Harry Potter 2020 - Rumors & Discussion
Darth Shadowthrone replied to Captain Nemo's topic in LEGO Licensed
Ah thanks for telling me, I don’t have either of those sets so didn’t know. Definitely going to be included now! Also has anyone found a way to attach a letter to an owl? Also Rita Skeeter and Karkaroff definitely sound like a reasonable pair for a CMF. It would be cool if Lego did two per film for a total of 16 but it seems quite unlikely considering so far: PS figures: none COS figures: Sprout, Myrtle, Dumbledore POA: Neville GOF: none OotP: Kingsley, Bellatrix HBP: Harry, Luna DH: Griphook -

Darth Shadowthrone replied to Captain Nemo's topic in LEGO Licensed
I'm pretty sure it's Karkaroff (and am also wildly hopeful). I'm pretty sure there's a line in the Goblet of Fire book where Voldemort says something very similar to the quote like 'One has betrayed me forever...he will be punished.' Also there's pictures of the pirate hideout now and there's a new (I think) print in there of an old-timey looking letter on tan. Maybe this could be used for Privet Drive? -

Man I'm in love with that Luna figure, her alternate face is so adorable! It's good to see her with more expression than she had in the cmf series, where she just had two neutral faces. -

I hadn't even considered the possibility of Lupin and Tonks being included in the Burrow, I forgot they were in that scene . If they are I similarly hope Tonks is somewhere else, either in the CMF series or the Advent Calendar (if it's based off Grimmauld Place). Tonks looks completely different in Half Blood Prince because of her hair so hopefully this will be the case. Imagine getting two different Tonks minifigures after waiting all this time! -

Darth Shadowthrone replied to Captain Nemo's topic in LEGO Licensed
Welp it definitely looks like they’re remaking the 2010 burrow, probably with the same minifigures (it’s uncanny how similar that Greyback looks) As I’ve already got a Burrow it’s a shame but I’m glad that others get the chance to get it. Also saves me £100 that I can now save towards Diagon Alley also as Lego sometimes include elements from multiple films I think we can expect a letter dropping function and a few more owls in the Privet Drive Set. Fingers crossed! -

Darth Shadowthrone replied to Captain Nemo's topic in LEGO Licensed
Yeah there was, it came in the first CMF series as the damaged version. They could make an undamaged variant but then it’s just a black book which is a bit plain. And as another user has said we’ve already got both the Monster book and the Half Blood Prince’s book in this CMF. -
Harry Potter 2020 - Rumors & Discussion
Darth Shadowthrone replied to Captain Nemo's topic in LEGO Licensed
Personally I think it's possible to read too much into the different leg sizes by year. I mean we've gotten both short legs and mid-legs to represent third years, all of which were for the main characters! And then a second year Neville had mid legs while Draco had short legs in the cmf. The Lego designers clearly don't seem to be aiming for a proper consistency with the whole theme together but instead seem to be going from wave to wave picking whichever fits. I feel like they'll only have different leg sizes if they want one character to be clearly shorter than the other, so we'll get mid-legs for this wave for all the main students (including Ginny and Luna despite them being a year younger) just so kids won't get confused about the size difference. Maybe that's why Wormtail didn't have mid-legs, so that kids didn't get confused thinking he was meant to be a teenager.
