You know guys I've just been analysing how you can connect Flying Lesson set to other Hogwarts sets. Let's take Polyjuice Potion set for example - it's on an 8 x 16 plate, no roof. Now the Flying Lesson has two 8 x 8 sections, both with roofs. And of course the door section, which doesn't fit anywhere. So you can take the PP set, add both FL sections on top of it, with roofs. And voila, it's connected. Then you just slap the door section anywhere, kind of like you do with the entrance to CoS. So yeah, this set actually does connect to other expansions, which is really cool.

Yeah this wave caused a lot of confusion, especially with release dates.

Harry Potter doesn't have an August wave. There are 8 sets in June, an AC in September and a 2HY D2C.

But I see all of you guys recommend Flying Lesson without a shadow of doubt, so I'll probably go with that one. Wonder how it works in Europe? Is it a Lego exclusive set or is it a general release?

Yeah the Flying Lesson set is much better on it's own, the only thing that makes me question the choice is how well those 2 sets connect toeach other. Fluffy build is terrible tho, I absolutely hate it.

If all the August releases suddenly becoming June releases, do you guys think taht the What If...? set might also be a June set after all? It doesn't seem likely, but it's a possibility to be honest.

Definitely not. Colours don't match.

I'd appreciate your help guys, as I'm not sure which sets to buy. I want to have Hogwarts expansions only from this year, as apart from Hogsmeade none of other sets interest me, and I'd prefer Hogwarts to Hogsmeade. As for Chamber of Secrets, I don't want to buy such a giant set. Now, Polyjuice Potion is a must buy for me. I'll definitely pick this one up. The question is - should I buy First Flying Lesson or Fluffy Encounter? I feel like PP set connects much more smoothly and better in general with FE set, as we can see in some pictures. On the other hand, whole not connecting too well to PP set, FFL would definitely give a bigger variety of things in general, like more characters for example.

Well it's an anniversary wave so it's a different case. Nevertheless, by the end of the month we will have seen those sets, as they are never revealed in May.

I'm not sure if we know that, but it's as likely as it can be. It wouldn't make much sense without it.

I'm pretty sure he meant regular retailer sets - that means that he excluded D2C, AC, polybags etc. And that checks out. 6 Anniversary sets, 2 regular (well kinda) sets. Of course there's a chance that the D2C is also an anniversary set, or even the polybag, but I'm not sure if he knows it as of now.

Yes, something has been confirmed for Thor - he'll get a new mould for his hair, at least according to Promobricks.

Seeing as they bothered with a whole new mould for his hair, I think it's almost certain - especially seeing that the Aquaman's hair mould perfectly represents his actual hair, just not the one with beard.

It has to be the Chamber of Secrets. Not only does it have the best minifigure selection I've seen in a set, like, ever, but the build is also absolutely amazing. Add all the anniversary elements and it's kinda perfect. Honorable mentions are Polyjuice set, as it's literally a perfect 20€ set, it's STACKED, and Hosgmeade, lovely set.

I can't wait to see all of those sets, particularly the ones I'm going to buy - Iron Monger and Endgame Final Battle. Also the New Asgard set, as we don't know what to expect. I wonder if, after all, all the sets, including Sanctuary II, might be coming in June like HP sets? Well sure, but 2 of the sets were leaked by Spanish Amazon. That means that retailers are starting to provide June sets images. Anyways, we will have seen them in 2 weeks time. Not a long wait.

It seems very likely, although we're still not sure.

Too close, and I just can't wait Gimme those already.

Then you didn't believe Promobricks when they provided us the detailed list of sets descriptions right?

Well I guess I also have to do my ranking then: 8. Harry Potter & Hermione Granger 7. Hogwarts Wizard's Chess 6. Fawkes, Dumbledore's Phoenix 5. Hogwarts: Fluffy Encounter 4. Hogwarts: First Flying Lesson 3. Hosgmeade Village Visit 2. Hogwarts: Polyjuice Potion Mistake 1. Hogwarts Chamber of Secrets The last 3 are interchangeable I guess.

You don't seem to understand the difference between a rumour and a confirmation. If he says that as a claim, "Dumbledore I'll be in the Fawkes set", then he is there.

Well like I said, he confirmed it, so there's no place for scepticism.

Perhaps I phrased that wrong. You CAN connect it, but not in the same way that other sets connect - one on top of each other.

FF confirmed it. It includes just Dumbledore.

I mean if you think about it like that most Higwarts expansions are just walls. Just wait until you see the interior, as we've said the same thing about the Fluffy set - just a wall. It turns out it has a rather spacey interior after all. But for example the Room of Requirements was also just a wall, and it was a great set.

I don't think it connects to the new ones. It doesn't have that cubish structure to it. I think it's meant as more of a standalone set for people taht don't like the new style.
