  1. It's been up for two or three months. And as a note, I don't think that the "average piece count per package" actually varies from series to series so you're likely on point there. Nah, right? :) I'm curious to see what comes out of the factories with respect to the alleged Quidditch set; if it really does turn out to be 75956, then that would be pretty fascinating. :P It's definitely accurate to say that the $39.99 US bit is correct for 75956.
  2. Nice work; I haven't really picked up anything via Brickseek that isn't already on my list, but it's fantastic to see that it's working for ya. :) I'm 99% sure that 75221 is exclusive to Walmart in the states - it could be Target, but the info that I've picked up seems to suggest otherwise. Every single 2HY MDP kit is noted in Target's system as well; I have zero clue as to why. He means that it doesn't make coherent sense; it's an expression. As in, it's unintelligible, because that's not a normal sentence that anyone would implicitly understand at face value. That's not your fault; there's just not enough context. @Tidy BrickFanatics.co.uk has claimed that 75221 is the rumored TIE; in tandem, they've made a couple of further assertions regarding upcoming Brickheadz in a freakishly accurate manner (41621 Newt Scamander and Dumbledore), as well as system-scale HP sets (75955 Knight Bus). For those who were unaware, 75955 & 75956 are a pair of extraneous retailer exclusive HP/FB kits that we haven't been able to nail down as of yet. I've been aware of the ID of 41621 for a bit, so I can independently confirm that they were correct about the Brickheadz. As it is, in lieu of any hard-and-fast info from the usual folks, you can make (or find :P) your own conclusions on what we can be expecting for the summer. It's your call, also, but I thought that I'd mention that a number of folks have all but confirmed 75216 as the throne room, so that one might be set in stone. Link to their article. I'm typing up a couple of revisions to my "list" over in the news thread, but it's still a little murky. Curious to see an Interceptor if another is on it's way. :)
  3. Yup. He "discovered" it on that list, which was a series of screenshots from Brickseek.com. All of the "confidential" kits listed therein - every single one -has already been released - most of them are from the winter. That said, I'd keep your hopes up. :)
  4. Just something to keep in mind while discussing 75950 (Aragog kit) - it's $14.99 US and 157 parts. It's not that big, and for what it's worth, the rest of this anonymous fellow's speculation doesn't sound particularly accurate to me.
  5. Aw yeah? Why is that, dude? Lmao, Denny's is probably way more trustworthy, because it's official. :P Anyways, she's female, as confirmed by a number of official product descriptions. (including some Hasbro products)
  6. We appreciate the update; lol. Real quick, yup; the image that I posted is a low-res shot of the upcoming product page tile for lego.ocm; Elsa is shown from a rather unassuming angle. She's better the side. :P
  7. Glad to hear that; lmao. You seem really passionate. Most folks on EB don't like them too much, no, but that certainly isn't necessarily representative of the AFOL majority, especially considering the nature of the site's structure. :P Irrespective of that, it's fair to say that most folks are a little disparaging around SWC as a vehicle for SW in general - even folks who love CCBS aren't too big on SW constraction, and I can get behind that. believe me, I want constraction out of SW as well, but I try to be a little careful about how I say it. Since TLG has been making CCBS sets for years outside of SW, and since it's blatantly clear with the last couple of waves that there's been no decline in the quality or quantity of SW system, nah, I doubt it'll effect any changes. Heck, if anything, TLG has been setting aside more in the way of budget and manpower behind SW as a whole. After all, there have been 6-12 constraction sets every six months (at least) since 1999. :)
  8. That's not how it works. And y'know, if you can manage to imagine it, some people do like them. :P
  9. Yup; I'm with you on that one. Not able to see much in the designs here; as a rule, they seem to feel as though they're really backed into a corner with licenses such as these. Mojo Jojo is fantastic, though. :) 41287 is $19.99 US and 144 pieces. 41288 is $29.99 US.
  10. Man, that sucks. If you were in the states, it wouldn't be quite as bad, but it still isn't fantastic. Over here, they've stayed steady since the What were the RO figures? I'm looking at $24.99 US for Han or the Range Trooper. Doesn't matter; it's significantly better. :) Sure, the piece counts are moot point with this wave, but the trooper is pretty fantastic as far as MOCing potential is concerned. Maybe? I don't know as much about TLG's profit margins on licensed kits as I do about the setup on their mainline sets, but it's worth noting that the vast majority of the cost that they'll incur while producing a kit is in the marketing, and SW certainly runs very high on that. Realistically, it's costing TLG less than $5 US to crank out a single $25 CCBS kit, but that doesn't take much into account in and of itself.
  11. Please put any text that you add to my quote in obvious brackets, dude. Most folks who understand TLG's priorities can see that you're blatantly wrong. If there's a chance that TLG can make sets off of KOTOR and the old EU for Star Wars, then there's little that would stop them from implicitly asserting that it would be good for the brand to produce Cursed Child sets; getting the rights in question wouldn't be too challenging, especially in the wake of FB and its sequels. While instantaneous plans for Cursed Child sets are unlikely after the release of the Crimes of Grindelwald sets, there's certainly plenty of precedent for releasing obscure tie-in material on TLG's part - particularly if the parent theme is as well-known and as profitable as HP. After all, it was TLG's top line, with respect to gross sales, in 2003. Essentially, everything on that list is wrong. They do tend to have access to internal info, but a list that includes 41624 Luke Skywalker, 41625 Princess Leia, and 75951 The Crimes of Grindelwald is sloppy. Once they take the March sets off of the list, then I'll give it another look. :P When they added 71043 as Hogwarts three or four months back, they were guessing in the dark. That said, I am still relatively confident in my belief that 71043 is a D2C Hogwarts kit. :)
  12. Personally, nah, not really... that said, I can certainly understand getting sets to admire how they look on display/posed a certain way. I'm hoping that we get some kits; there's certainly a very solid chance that TLG will adapt them, especially as it's still a visible bit of HP. :) Heck yeah; I liked it. :) Lmao, dude; the description has nothing to do with it; are you serious about this? As per usual, plenty of different people have access to dozens (or hundreds) of unreleased minifigures; Afroman is one of them. :) There's obviously no way that someone could fake that, unless they had a factory setup on hand.
  13. Yup, that's the date; as per usual, official images will come in mid-June or so. Here's the breakdown for piece counts/USD prices: 70644 - 92 pieces, $14.99 US 70645 - 92 pieces, $14.99 US 70646 - 92 pieces, $14.99 US 70647 - 92 pieces, $14.99 US 70648 - 92 pieces, $14.99 US - last spinner 70650 - 181 pieces, $19.99 US 70651 - 221 pieces, $19.99 US 70652 - 493 pieces, $39.99 US 70653 - 882 pieces, $69.99 US 70654 - 1179 pieces, $109.99 US 70655 - 1660 pieces, $129.99 US 70657 - 3553 pieces, $ US - Released in June as a D2C kit; based on TLNM. ...And a few other sets are coming as well. I'll say more when I can. :)
  14. I would always assume that it, as well as any other "wish list" kit, is absolutely false and completely unreliable without further confirmation. That said, if SvL says that it's coming, than that does make a difference. I would frankly love to see it; with the release of 75216 and 75230, I would suspect that TLG has plenty more planned for TLJ. :P Aw yeah? Would you happen to have a set number behind that, seeing that it isn't 75215?
  15. Nope. No, believe me, I certainly get that sorting out the real info can be tough and confusing, but it shouldn't just run off as a "blank check" of sorts to ignore folks who likely do have a basis in fact. I'm not annoyed, because at this point, yeah, I haven't been around for as long as SvL or Cat; however, I don't really think that you needed to add that. Just ask. If you're in doubt, I won't worry about it too much; however, I'd invite you to check out my post history if you so desire. :) Well, I mean, the suitcase is already a $70 set; if I had to guess, TLG is going to really push the whole "create your own beast" deal. Very curious to see how they do the box... maybe like Go Brick Me? USD Prices are as follows - 75950 [Aragog] - 14.99 US 75951 - $19.99 US 75952 - $49.99 US 75953 [] - $69.99 US 75954 [] - $99.99 US So, there are a couple of different embargo dates (set for info/descriptions, not release) that I'm seeing for HP/FB, but one thing that is consistent is that the FB sets are under wraps for a bit longer than the HP sets. (Usually from a couple of weeks or so.) 75956 has the same date as the HP sets; not the general release FB sets that we're aware of at the moment - 75951 & 75952. It's not something that I can conclusively lean on right now, but I'm keeping it in mind. :)
  16. Yeah, not gonna lie, I have no clue. I am, but I don't see why that has to invalidate anyone else, right? I'm just trying to help; if you'd rather that I don't, I don't have to. :)
  17. I've had the piece counts for a few months, along with all the rest. And no, I haven't seen any of the August sets yet, as incredible as that would be. :)
  18. They got out! They got out. :) These are all correct.
  19. Aw, dude, no worries! As a heads-up, you might have been intending to type "explained". :)
  20. Man, that was SvL's one reply! :P Quite seriously, that was pretty clever, man. Some doubts there... August
  21. We've caught high-res, official shots only, for two sets only; #75951 Grindelwald's Escape and #75954 Hogwarts Great Hall. I'm not sure if SvL already confirmed it, but I can guarantee that 71022 is for HP/"Wizarding World". Just to be clear: 71022 - WW CMF, 3.99 EUR 75950 - [Aragog], 19.99 EUR 75951 - Grindelwald's Escape, 29.99 EUR 75952 - [Suitcase], 69.99 EUR(95% sure) 75953 - Whomping Willow, 49.99 EUR 75954 - Hogwarts Great Hall, 99.99 EUR 75956 - [Unknown Retailer Exclusive], 39.99 EUR (95% sure) Does that look about right to you, @Sir von Lego ?
  22. Yup; spotted in a LEGO store in the southeast US. EDIT: Freakig bizarre... why the heck is this a separate post?
  23. No offense man, but I think that what you're hoping to hear that my information is correct. And it is :) As I believe that I've said a few times, BH 41610 - 41614 will be available worldwide; if anything you'll have an easier time finding them in the EU than in the states; I'm not even sure if they will be exclusives there. I'm happy to try and see if I can help; If you need links, just ask. In the US, #41611 (Back To The Future) will be a Target exclusive. At the moment, to be straight-up, I have no idea what's up with 41613 mr. Incredible & Frozone.
