    In my opinion, that's just because there's currently nothing to talk about. We have no leaks, no hints, nothing except confirmation that Overwatch is going to happen. Furthermore, there's no precedent, nothing that's happened before to give any indication I felt what's going to come. And considering how diverse the source material is, we could theoretically see literally anything come out of this theme. Personally, I'd love to see Fort Gilbatrar. Anyone got any location wishlists?

    Like I said, I really hope not. I've been looking forward to having Overwatch-based stuff in my minifig-scale village for ages, but I have zero interest in constraction except for how the parts can be used in proper System stuff. If Overwatch really is all Constraction and Brickheadz, I'm not buying any of them unless they also come with minifigure versions of the characters - and the only precedent for that is the UCS BB-8 and Porg, so I'm not hopeful. TLG, would you please just reveal even one set from next year's line to put my fears to rest? One way or another?

    There's a rumour circulating that they're going to be construction figures. I hope not, I really want to see minifig scale sets.

    Looking good! I'm planning to combine this year's Hogwarts Great Hall with what remains of the 2010 Hogwarts (which I mostly scrapped, but managed to partly recreate) and some semi-MOC Nexo Knights stuff to build a preliminary Hogwarts for my village. Unfortunately, I don't have the Great Hall yet, but soon! In the meantime, I've also modified Grindelwald's Carriage to seat two, rather than one, and to serve as a carriage to take students around the village to Hogwarts. (Since I unfortunately don't currently have room for trains.) Unfortunately, I can't put pictures on here, so I can't show you. It's cool, though!

    Here's hoping. Here's also hoping they won't require that you spend too much. I tend to avoid official Lego shops except for D2Cs; secondary retailers usually have much better prices.

    I like the way you think. I'm rooting for one more year! Although, after Nexo Knights' last wave was cancelled . . . I'm not getting my hopes too high again . .

    Unprinted masks. Like, without the ninja's little symbols on the headbands.

    The way I heard it, it's that there's two exclusive sets, not necessarily Creator Expert. I interpreted that to mean that the new Winter Village Set would include a 'plants from plants' piece, and the other one would be the UCS Cloud City. I hop you're right, though. I'm too young to have gotten the older Modular Buildings, so rereleases of Green Grocer or Cafe Corner would be lovely.

    Well, personally I really like this set. I'm endeavouring to install a semi-MOC Hogwarts into my layout, but since I don't currently have the room necessary for a train layout the Hogwarts Express is not an option in terms of transport to and from school. So I'm glad to have this, as it was easy for me to modify it to seat an extra minifigure and convert it to function as a Hogwarts school carriage to pick up the students and take them to school. I agree that the price could be a little better, but I'm noticing a running trend of Lego becoming more expensive over the last couple of years. Hopefully this won't continue. For what's it is, this set is good. ^^

    1. Cho (finally some representation for my house! I actually don't like her, but all the same!) 2. Mad-Eye (those dual-moulded legs are just beautiful!) 3. Sybil Trelawney (simply gorgeous. Nothing else to say.) 4. Dean Thomas (beautiful printed scarf, and I love the flag too.) 5. Boggart Snape (the simple fact that this exists makes me happy.)

    Naah. Mini-dolls are about to go big with their probable prominence in The Lego Movie 2. (Which is a bit of a shame, since minfigs are so much better as toys.) Y'now, I think that we're going to see a lot of mini-doll stuff in the Systarr system . . but there's been very few mini-doll themes to date. I bet they're trying to push out Elves so that they can introduce a brand new theme next year to replace it that will then get cross-promotion with the movie.

    Brother Eye and Talon Attack have shown up at my local shops here in Melbourne. No sign of Atlantis yet. Personally, I'm undecided whether I should get either of them. Anyone want to try persuading me they're worth my time/money/display space? XD
  13. Fenghuang0296
    Pretty good odds, yep. Winter Villsge and Cloud City, I bet. Here's hoping the news is good.
  14. Fenghuang0296
    Screw Spidey. I want Peter Parker.

    This is pretty nice for what it is, in my opinion. Sure, it's not incredibly accurate, but I've never been too fussed about accuracy anyway. There are only two things I have to criticise: the abysmal Basilisk (probably won't even assemble it when I get mine) and the lack of detail in all except the top room of the tower. My plan is to redo the interior of the 'Sorting Hat Room' into a Ravenclaw Common Room that'll go with the Gryffindor Common Room in the Whomping Willow set. Now that we finally have Cho and her generic Ravenclaw torso, my house will rise! I have mixed feelings about Harry, Ron and Hermione having identical torsos, on the one hand it's boring, on the other it would defeat the purpose of a 'school uniform' if they didn't. And I definitely approve of the massability of these new style torsos. The price is a bit high in AUS, so I'll probably wait for a good sale. But it's definitely on my list. Ultimately, most of the complaints I'm hearing (other than about the God-awful Basilisk) are about how accurate it is to the source material. And . . well, here's the thing, everyone. It seems there's something of a misconception going around based on what this set is actually supposed to be. I direct you all to the statue of the Architect of Hogwarts: http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Architect_of_Hogwarts Does that model he's holding look familiar to anyone? It should. This set is not based on the actual Great Hall. It's a Lego version of the Architect's original, in-universe model. And if you consider that, the only problem is the absence of the three Headmaster towers. And that's pretty easy to fix. So don't criticise little things like proportions. It's all a matte of perspective.

    Thank you! This is a problem that I've been having when constructing my village; too much tan and medium nougat. It's a real pain. I'm actually endeavouring to replace all the medium nougat in my modified, Modular-fied Sanctum Sanctorum with dark red. Since there is nothing else in my layout which is that colour, I'm hoping it'll really pop. And it still looks accurate to the source material. I've found purple and and light bley to go together nicely, myself.
  17. Fenghuang0296
    Yeah? Awesome, then maybe we'll see them soon. I'd love a new Spinjitzu Monastery . . I got the old one, but I scrapped it for parts years ago . . and since I'm building a village now, I'd relish the opportunity to put it in.

    All I want is Nymphadora Tonks to go with Lupin. And that hilarious Luna variant.

    Avengers 4. The rumours go that it'll be called Avengers: End Game.
  20. Fenghuang0296
    Naah, no way they'd pass up the opportunity to make one or two sets for Far From Home. After all, they made one for Ant-Man and the Wasp, hot on the heels of Infinity War. In fact, I predict we'll se a very similar distribution next year among Captain Marvel, End Game and Far From Home as we did this year with Black Panther, Infinity War and Ant-Man and the Wasp.
  21. Fenghuang0296
    Amen. Though, to be honest, I'd be okay with any Billy minfig at all. I'll make a custom if I have to.
  22. Fenghuang0296
    Very impressive. I love your designs!
  23. Fenghuang0296
    Personally, as a younger fan who missed it before, I want to see a rerelease of the Bakery from . . was it 2010? If not that, I'd want to see something new, though I could live with a relaunch of the Post Office. I still think a bookshop or a cafe would be a great addition . . but considering I MOCed a winter cafe in LDD that I intend to build IRL, I kind of hope they aren't about to make it redundant. XD
  24. Fenghuang0296
    Glad to hear it! Can't wait to get them both. Ooh, totally. I'd love to see that. We need more megafigs!

    I got the wig that I use for Clay from the Marvel Super Heroes Detroit Steel set. And @Grey Magistrate seems to have come up with a solution RE Macy's hair. Now if only we could get Aaron's hair, the version moulded with headphones, as a normal part . . . it exists, it just needs to be recoloured.
