Found it on Brickink. One shops has it in the Netherlands. It's been filed as an alternate colour to the new sand blue owl from this year.

Thank you :) I love it. Probably my favourite owl so far.

Oooh interesting. Do you have a pic at all? :)

Ah thanks. RM been today so looks like I'm still waiting. :(

Had two orders from 1st and 9th March dispatched in the last week. Can anyone tell me who delivers B+P / now standard Pick A Brick orders? I've had a replacement parts order recently that was delivered by Royal Mail, but I believe DHL used to deliver paid for B+P orders. :)

If this is true it just shows how well HP is selling and seeing this year's summer wave I have full confidence that Gringotts will show up in future. I always said it was perfectly possible for a train and station set at that price, ridiculous as it may seem. Lego is really trying to attract more adult and non Lego consumers and this will appeal to both HP and train fans. Will I buy it? Probably, especially if the price of any of it's minifigures alone would be extortionate. Will I keep it? Just depends how good it turns out to be.

I wasn't collecting then, but I'm really not bothered now because they have all definitely been improved on. All we need now is a fresh second task and Durmstrang Ship and I think only pure nostalgia or complete collecting would drive people to buy sets from that era. Guyon does seem to have flown the nest. I wasn't on a few weeks back when there was some drama on these forums apparently but I'm guessing it was something to do with all that. 🤔

They are, but I was not expecting these so soon and had my afternoon made by this lovely surprise.

Is Buckbeak lighter/darker wings?

The only thing I don't like about this wave are: 1) The Hungarian Horntail. Just looks blocky and odd to me, although I can see the source resemblance. 2) The new castle sections are not as obviously connecting as last years i.e. how is the Hospital Wing meant to fit in with these and the old structures? I hate getting left with several roof sections in order to connect builds or having builds that seem awkward to connect. Last year's style may not be aesthetically pleasing from the outside, but the stackability of modules made displaying easier. We seem to be getting more 'tops' than 'bottoms' this year. Lego doesn't seem to show a pic of how they fit in.

It is plaited yes. :) Would Lego go all in on that detail? Maybe not.

Me too. I was going to get a second Molly and Arthur to display with my Burrow (the ones from the set are in my minifigure frame), but have now decided to try and get the old versions if not too pricey. The new Molly is okay, but I really don't like how the Arthur does the thing where the printing just cuts off at the legs. Plus it will be nice to have different versions of them. I recently got Neville from 2011 as we may not anytime soon or ever get a repeat of him and apart from the orange skin printing on the torso he's no more inferior to recent figs. Neville, Ginny, Molly, Arthur and Narcissa are all possibilities for me to add to my collection. As for the new sets, I want to see the Ministry figs most and then the Shrieking Shack selection.

Try joining some of the Lego Facebook groups. There are quite a few out there for buying and selling Lego. :)

It keeps doing this with Fluffy and some other non HP sets. It's there if you do a search. :)

Haha okay. I finally found the pressure of having to collect everything was taking the fun out of it. Not that I don't at least like building all the sets even if I don't love them all equally after, but the space aspect was starting to get difficult for me let alone the money. I do think a Quidditch build could be spectacular, in the sense that if you just take the source material and then think what detailed model Lego could produce, then in that bubble it could be a 'spectacular' model. Unless of course you just really don't like the source material.

No judgement or anything because I know full well the all or nothing feeling, but do you never want to go actually I'm just not getting that set because I really don't like it? Or I'll just buy the minifigures and skip the build. If the D2C is a QP, which could be spectacular in it's own way but certainly not my first choice, is there any way you would say no I'm simply skipping this one?

Ah okay thank you :)

Do we think we'll get a reveal of the HP accessory pack soon considering the Marvel one has been leaked or are they on different release schedules I can't remember?

Haha that was me, but I don't for one second think it would be included with Gringotts or another DA set. If they did a quote for Gringotts I think a PS one would be most relevant such as the 'Enter stranger, but take heed ...' poem, or if they wanted something Deathly Hallows related they could go a bit darker and go with Griphook and 'I said I'd get you in. I didn't say I'd get you out!' Diagon Alley Part 2. If it's good enough for splitting DH into two movies then why not for Lego lol.

If the retailer exclusive is a playset and turns out to be something Second task or Durmstrang Ship related and then the D2C is Gringotts / Diagon or Knockturn Alley related, then considering the Shrieking Shack and Ministry this will be the best year for me. I always notice that too, although I did see Harry and Hermione pop back in stock very briefly recently. However, even Ron did sell out at one point in the UK, but it coincided with people needing to make separate orders to use VIP coin codes when they first rereleased them I think so I believe that had a big something to do with it as Ron was the only one left. Overall, I think poor Ron does get pushed aside somewhat because Harry and Hermione are seen as the main representatives for male / female in the books / movies. Well I was thinking of selling bigfig Harry to fund this year a bit, but definitely will now you've put that image in my head lol. Any takers in the UK?

Really hoping it's a playset. I initially loved my Harry bigfig ... Now he's just starting to creep me out with that inane smile. No, no more please. Sorry Ron.

If the retailer exclusive is not Gringotts, then I'm swaying more to the D2C being Gringotts because it would make sense to release Gringotts whilst DA is still available. Someone with no interest in buying DA before who buys Gringotts could then be swayed into buying DA. They don't have to be on the market at the same time, and Gringotts could easily stand alone on shelves once DA is retired, but it makes sense to have some overlap for DA sales.

Can only see he was on the site. Just saying, he seems to be around but not on here.
