THELEGOBATMAN

I gotta be honest, this minifgure selection is extremely disappointing. Trio, Malfoy and Ginny in random and generic outfits, repeats of Hagrid and Ollivander in same old outfits. The only 2 interesting minfigures in this set seem to be Lucius Malfoy and Gilderoy Lockhart. Don't get me wrong, more variants of existing characters are always welcome, but these ones are just plain boring. Also, what happened with B&B Harry variant? Are there more minfigures than these? Or is he from a polybag or GWP?

They can't build any more hype without posting a teaser or something, as you see this forum is literally exploding with all the hype.

This must be the worst reveal of a Lego set, like, ever I am laughing so hard at how they absolutely screwed it up.

75294 Bespin Duel is featured in the newest Lego catalogue, confirming that you will be able to order it directly from shop@home. The price is now confirmed to be $40. Let's just hope that it won't be available only in US and Canada...

Honestly, no one knows. It's a possibility, but we didn't get any info about Disney+ sets.

Azani is one of the most reliable leakers, we can trust him.

All of them are real.

I just got a magazine with the new Stormtrooper (new helmet mould) minfigure, and I gotta say, it's better than the last one. The thing about this new helmet is that it looks really BAD on pictures. It looks oversized and has a weird shaping. But when you actually get it in person, it looks so much better, and after comparing it to real Stormteooper images, it's more accurate than the last one.

5544 pieces for $400?! That is an AMAZING deal. Diagon Alley that's 1 meter in width? Woah. Finally a minfigure of Gilderoy Lockhart? Hell yeah. As for Gringotts, I think it honestly will work better as a standalone set. It's probably the biggest build in Diagon Alley, and by including it we wouldn't be able to get more obscure builds. Also, people should keep in mind that not everyone is able to afford a $400 set, but people still want at least some of those builds.

Nuts and bolts? That's a rather weird set name

Just like in the movie.

I think they are definitely an improvement over the last 501st minifigures. Helmet: Previous one has a better "mouth", but the new one has a better visor. Blue strip is more or less the same on both. New one has better details like grey printing on "cheeks" or black line over forehead. Torso: The last one has a better chest printing (thinner blue line), but the new one has better belt printing. Current one has also MUCH more accurate arms, as only a small part of 501st' arms is blue (dual-molding would be preferred, but if they had to choose one, they chose the correct colour for the new version). Legs: Leg printing is superior on the new version. Knee pads are definitely not again as on the previous version. New one has foot printing, old one doesn't. The main difference - that horribly-looking black shoulder piece. When comparing it to the original (movie) suit, it doesn't even have a little black on the hips. There's only black under the costume, which new leg printing represents well (with those 2 black marks beyond the hips). The new one also has more accurate and detailed back printing. I compared those using both 501st minifigures and images of the original suit design, and apart from chest and mouth printing, every single part of the new version looks better.

Just built my 501st Battle Pack, and I love it. Minifigures look amazing, I think they are a HUGE improvement over the last ones we got. They look amazing when standing together. The builds are nicer than I expected. BARC Speeder looks really fine, I love the building techniques they used there. AT-RT is a bit of a wasted potential. Sure, the build is not that bad, but when I look at those perfect customs that people make, it seems like this build is a let down.

I love how we even have REVIEWS of this series, but Lego still hasn't "officially" revealed it

501st Battle Packs are selling so well, it became hard to even get one for yourself I ordered my 501st Battle Pack on August 2nd, but a few days after that they told me that they cannot send me this set, because it has already sold out in their store (this store is one of the biggest and most popular shops in my country). I ordered it in another store a few days ago, and this time they sent me this set (it's supposed to arrive either today or tomorrow), but it also sold out there - just a few hours after I ordered it there. This is crazy

I'm not sure of I like where this theme is going... The sets this year have been EXTREMELY overpriced (for example TIE Dagger or Grievous' Starfighter), and now we hear that Battle Packs will disappear? Come on Lego, why would you do that?

So. Many. Shops It's kind of weird that there are shops/places like Scribbulus or Daily Prophet, but there is no (at least for now) Borgin & Burkes or Gringotts. I kind of hope that means they will release as separate sets. Gringotts would work perfectly fine with next year's focus being Year 7.

There is only one pic and it's legit.

I really like those minifgures, they both look great. I love the fact that we didn't end up getting an Imperial Shuttle, this will be a much more interesting set.

Just ordered my 501st Battle Pack, very excited to lay my hands on it

The thing that gives me hope about getting this set (Bespin Duel) is that this instruction is not only available on US website - it's also available in other countries, with "Bepsin Duel" being translated to other languages. I really hope this means everyone will be able to get it.

Why is this series so amazing All the minifigures are fantastic. I have a nice retailer near me that checks the content or the bags (without opening them), so I will get the minifigures that I need from there. I will skip Luna, Kingsley, Moaning Myrtle and Pomona Sprout, and MAYBE Griphook (I really want that Gryffindor Sword tho). I love how detailed those minfigures are - literally all of them (except for Griphook) have leg pritning and there are around 13 new moulds.

Am I the only one that's actually happy we're not getting random variants and (or) minor character, but actually main characters in their normal outfits? I know it is disappointing for people who end up getting all the sets, but for a person who buys 2-3 Harry Potter sets a wave (well, a year) it's a great option to get characters like Ginny, Neville, Fred, George, Dumbledore, or even the main trio in their regular clothes.

Hell yeah! After all this time, we got something. This looks amazing, so many new characters! I would never expect that we'd get James and Lilly, there are so many characters there that I want to get. It's kind of disappointing that there's no Lockhart or Tonks, but it still doesn't make this series worse.

FINALLY we have a piece of news for this game! I love the home screen, it looks so cool. As for the rest of the news, it's so great that we are getting DLCs, and I didn't expect that we would get 8 of them so soon. I hope we get DLCs for Rogue One, Solo, Clone Wars and Rebels (these should be the "big ones"). The rest could be some small packs with one level and a few characters.
