I will be hopefully be getting The Burrow from Lego too, but I can see it taking a while to arrive. When you can only order it on 1st and then they have to ship and under the current circumstances I can see that being my last build

Amazon UK has £5 off Privet Drive if anybody is interested. Also I got an email this morning saying my AT should arrive on 2nd not the 12th.

I haven't preordered yet as I really want to get a discount on the sets, so thanks for letting us know. I've bitten on this one and preordered although I think I'm at the back of a queue as it says it won't be delivered until 12th June, but that's okay.

I know. Now I know why some countries say they never get any good discounts. We obviously get them all! ?

I don't know what's going on with Amazon, but these set names are getting ridiculous. ? https://www.amazon.co.uk/75968-Harry-Potter-Privet-Dursley/dp/B0813QBV7Y/ref=sr_1_10?crid=FUIB5KG1TKM6&dchild=1&keywords=lego+harry+potter&qid=1590511841&sprefix=Lego%2Caps%2C147&sr=8-10 https://www.amazon.co.uk/75969-Harry-Potter-Astronomy-Compatible/dp/B0813QBV6V/ref=pd_bxgy_img_2/260-1403836-1799332?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B0813QBV6V&pd_rd_r=b6547270-409f-471b-b30d-630f7c351ff8&pd_rd_w=VolHQ&pd_rd_wg=p8i2K&pf_rd_p=106f838b-b7d1-46e9-83e0-f70facc857bf&pf_rd_r=26D7T9WP329MFH3V7YZM&psc=1&refRID=26D7T9WP329MFH3V7YZM https://www.amazon.co.uk/75979-Harry-Potter-Collectible-Display/dp/B0813S3VDM/ref=pd_sbs_21_1/260-1403836-1799332?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B0813S3VDM&pd_rd_r=40bd8d37-1587-4fe1-9542-735153a6eb1f&pd_rd_w=7UMcY&pd_rd_wg=SmsHd&pf_rd_p=2773aa8e-42c5-4dbe-bda8-5cdf226aa078&pf_rd_r=145RHHXW9K96K3APHCHB&psc=1&refRID=145RHHXW9K96K3APHCHB https://www.amazon.co.uk/75967-Harry-Potter-Forbidden-Forest/dp/B0813QWS29/ref=pd_sbs_21_2/260-1403836-1799332?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B0813QWS29&pd_rd_r=35bafd1a-e297-4342-b250-99901af096f1&pd_rd_w=4IvE2&pd_rd_wg=YPrid&pf_rd_p=2773aa8e-42c5-4dbe-bda8-5cdf226aa078&pf_rd_r=SM442ZY99TY3966R1T30&psc=1&refRID=SM442ZY99TY3966R1T30 https://www.amazon.co.uk/75966-Harry-Potter-Hogwarts-Requirement/dp/B0813S3V2B/ref=pd_bxgy_img_2/260-1403836-1799332?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B0813S3V2B&pd_rd_r=f43782c7-c585-4f7a-b228-92f5c1472087&pd_rd_w=UqVCV&pd_rd_wg=he0ED&pf_rd_p=106f838b-b7d1-46e9-83e0-f70facc857bf&pf_rd_r=QD0YRVJ9R9NDKZC1P104&psc=1&refRID=QD0YRVJ9R9NDKZC1P104

Yes that's what I meant. ? Fudge says it at the Ministry so that and the 'iconic underground scene' made a Ministry set the most likely option. But the the way Kignono's latest hint is written potentially suggests the set is DA related. ?

Why do I feel like we're going to get Diagon Alley: The Upside and Diagon Alley: The Upside Down. But then what was the 'He's back' quote referring to if not a Ministry set? I know Harry shouts it at the end of Goblet, but ...

Maybe there aren't many leg prints because there are skirt pieces and the rest don't need new prints? The only ones who I can think that might need it are Fred, George and Lockhart assuming they are in the set. And I don't know if the leg print hint is connected to the second part or not.

?

Good find. ? I have two so don't need it, but that's a decent price if you do.

It's quite 'bland', but getting the four different house torsos is a great thing and I love the MM print. ? Hannah Abbot is also done well too I think. I love getting all these secondary characters. Interestingly, Cho's hairpiece in this is more accurate to Goblet of Fire and works better with the sets from last year, whereas the Cho hairpiece from the CMF is more accurate to her OOP look. The fact that we have her with both looks is great though.

Brickset has confirmed the release of a Hogwarts Students minifigure pack and it comes with a Maurauder's Map!

Yes I saw that ?. Very misleading really, but at least we know the real prices. ?

I'd say it means that 75981 is releasing on 1st June; he's not saying it's weird as in 'wrong', he's using the weird to draw attention to the perceived anomaly and therefore say it us actually correct. And he seems to have been right so far. .

I'm so sorry to hear you lost your job, but glad to hear it's got you to a better place in the end. :)

If you mean Borgin and Burkes as a shop then I'd say yes, but if you mean (as I think you do) Borgin as a minifigure then I wouldn't say 'safe bet'. It would seem logical that a shop should come with its shopkeeper, but I wouldn't say he was 'necessary' to construct play scenes or as well loved and known as Ollivander or Fred and George. I would say Ollivander, Fred and George are 'safe' bets, whereas Borgin would be a welcome, but not certain, inclusion. Of course this is just my opinion and I certainly hope we do get him and some of the more secondary characters.

^ This ?

None of the new sets can now be preordered on the UK Shop online, so I suppose that might mean that on release day they will go straight to backorder?

Their main post said: You need around 960 €. Then in the top comment they say: "Tom Riddle book included'. So to me that means the Magical Treasury book with the Tom Riddle minifigure is included. But no I don't think (and I haven't included in the breakdown) any of the other books that are coming out this year, basically the ones that include figures that are not new.

This is what I worked out - Kingnono said you will need around 960 € for this wave including the Magical Treasury. So: Privet Drive = 70 € The Burrow = 100 € Astronomy Tower = 100 € Forbidden Forest = 30 € Room Of Requirement = 20 € Hedwig = 40 € CMF = 80 € Advent Calendar = 30 € 2 x Brickheadz = 40 €? Polybag = 5 € Magical Treasury Book = 20 € Diagon Alley = 400 € So that to me means that the unknown set must cost 25 € approx.

@dustells Hello and welcome. Thank you for that very detailed and insightful analysis. Here's hoping you a correct and it's June.

That was my first thought, so then like you I looked up what is usually connected with the F1 key on the computer and that didn't really makes sense, so then obviously the whole tire thing made me think of Formula 1, but I have no idea or interest in that so it's too obscure a reference for me if it is anything to do with that. So then I looked up what commenting 'F1' on posts etc. could mean and apparently it can be shorthand for 'Final One'. So Kingnono commenting f1 when the last comment was along the lines of 'Does this riddle refer to the DA's release date?' to me means that, yes, the riddle is hinting at DA's release date. But apparently nobody else here or on Insta can work out what it means anyway. He really has got us chasing our tails. ? Apart from the Notaday thing @Seaber pointed out (which I hadn't heard of before today) I have no idea. Haha I don't think the tyre thing is exclusive to German neighbours. ?

Kingnono has just commented 'f1' in the comments. Now I don't know if he means he was speaking in Formula 1 terms or f1 is slang for something else. If it's slang for Final One then they may have been saying the last comment before his post, which asked if his riddle was about DA's release date, is correct. How that helps I don't know.

As much as I'm really excited for this year and The Burrow etc and like you say 2018 felt epic because it was the restart of the theme, I'd have to say 2019. I do love the Hogwarts Express and the Whomping Willow with the Ford Anglia posed in its branches, but when I look at my display cabinets, the sets that really stand out to me are Hagrid's Hut, Expecto Patronum, the Knight Bus, the Triwizard Challenge, Graveyard Duel and Beauxbaton Carriage - basically 2019! GOF isn't my favourite movie, but I think the figures and sets for the movie look really good on display, especially the Graveyard Duel scene with Harry in the clutches of the reaper statue. As unexpected as a set as it was, I also really like the Beauxbaton Carriage; I've added more horses and display it with Hagrid in front with his paddles raised. I love the sets that really set the scenes with the minifigures posed around them. Of course Diagon Alley might be amazing and make 2020 even better, but the overall quality of the 2019 wave was fantastic in my opinion.

That's still a decent overlap though with both sets on the shelf for maybe up to 6 months. Whereas Anakin's Starfighter is on the retiring soon list obviously to avoid a crossover with the new Anakin's Starfighter set coming out in August.
