Why is it so hard for you guys to keep your political opinions to yourselves? There’s so many other places to talk about it, why here? For crying out loud...

If it has a dragon, it’s definitely an 11/10 set for me. It doesn’t even have to be something big, just something small to acknowledge it’s existence is perfectly fine with me. One similar in size of the one in the museum of Ninjago City Gardens would be great.

I think it’s easily my favorite Year 1-2 set. Don’t get me wrong the 2018 wave was great, but it didn’t really cover the climaxes of both films which this set fixes with having the Chamber. A great minifig and creature lineup it’s definitely the pinnacle. I just hope the Tower portion has some cool rooms in it like an expanded Dumbledore’s Office or DADA classroom.

I just love how much animals we’re getting in the Great Hall. Basilisk, Cornish Pixies, Golden Hedwig, potentially Fawkes this is great.

Maybe a retailer exclusive? But what scene do Cho and Hermoine in DH share besides Hogwarts in DH2? Maybe that rumor of the D2C being a DH Hogwarts Assault on Hoth style is true.

The only way I’ll buy the chessboard is if it connects with the rest of Hogwarts, which imo looks like a real possibility now that it’s at the $60 price range and it will probably fit right under the Forbidden Corridor. It doesn’t even require a lot of pieces dedicated to the outside, just look at the rock terrain of the Chamber of Secrets, it’s like 50-75 pieces tops. Maybe you can pull out and chose to display by itself or in Hogwarts. I’m curious to see if a Mirror of Erised would be included, if the prediction of the Winged Keys and Devil Snare in Forbidden Corridor is true.

Wasn’t referring to you, referring to a bunch of dudes a page back.

I’m so tired of people attacking leakers, do you want to sit here crosshanded till April with no information and no speculation or nothing at all? Imagine the outrage if people saw the June sets on reveal day, then it would seem completely out of left field. We get preliminary pics and we never get preliminary pics in February. We usually start seeing our first mini fig leak in February and we don’t see the sets themselves till mid April. Info for the August wave never leaks till after the June wave releases yet here we are in March with a semi -decent clue of what to expect in August. Brick Clicker, Guyon, and FalconFan are doing their best to give us the right info, you just need to be patient.

You need to breathe bud, KA1 wasn’t the only one who leaked the info, it was corroborated by multiple leakers. No need for the fool language, if there’s anyone that needs to a timeout it’s you for stirring unnecessary drama every time a leak comes out.

Ecstatic. I really hope it’s the challenges and it’s just a huge Philosopher’s Stone Hogwarts Extension with Dumbledore’s Office.

I really do hope Lockhart’s robes are gold and not orange. They’ll look good either way just like how lilac looked great though not screen accurate, but the gold is Lockhart’s signature and most over the top attire.

It depends, some of the goofy/expressive ones I liked, the Fred and George ones were awesome because they fit their mischievous characters. The back of the new Riddle is great too because it perfectly encapsulates the look when Harry stabs the diary. Or Lockhart’s nervous expression is priceless. My problem is too many lines on a face, like Umbridge and Slughorn are really good examples of looking like straight up prunes.

1) Chamber of Secrets 2) Myrtle’s bathroom 3) Forbidden Corridor Those are also the only sets I plan on buying this year.

I like this Tom Riddle better ngl, I think it makes him look an apparition that he was thanks to all the grey while the old Riddle looked way to realistic if that makes any sense at all.

Wow this is absolutely atrocious, was honestly hoping for some more Anniversary sets but this...this is just straight up awful. I do hope we get some more anniversary style Hogwarts Extensions because having just these two would be a let down to the original 2001 castle. Fingers crossed there’s a store exclusive like the Knight Bus and Hogwarts Express, fingers crossed

You know what I’ve been dying for, a UCS Cloak of Invisibility.

Very high price/piece ratio, it’s probably not minifig scale. I would actually love this ngl.

Cornish Pixies look absolutely amazing, Lego HP continues its track record of great creature mold. Really hopes this confirms a DADA either as it’s in own set or in the Chamber of Secrets set. I just hope it’s a bit more recognizable this time because the one in the Clocktower only had the spider that Mad Eye torments as its only recognizable element. Even if it has to be stickers. $250 is an easy pass for me at least, I’m sure it will look nice but it’s not a necessity for me that I’m willing to give up limited shelving space for. I hope this doesn’t rule out getting a vignette for it in the Anniversary line or any other challenges. Like if they want to give us a throwback to the 2001 era of sets, I do hope we get most of the castle portions in that original line because just getting the two would be disappointing. Part of the joy of the old sets is you get to build this bulky Hogwarts. Figures crossed that $70 is a Hogwarts Challenges set.

They both look phenomenal and I definitely want the golden Quirrell. Only complaint is the same issue I had with the 20th anniversary Star Wars minifigs, the printing on the back. Yes Lego we know it’s the 20th anniversary figure, if the Golden color scheme was enough. I kinda got why they did it for the Star Wars ones because they were identical to the original ones, some of them extremely rare like Lando who goes for big money on the market, but for the HP 20th anniversary it’s pretty much overkill

The more news I get of the UCS Gunship, the more I think that they should have made a UCS Nebulon B and a system scale Gunship. The Gunship is a great design on its own, but filling it up with clones and jedi is the other part of the equation. The Nebulon B could have the same number mini figs as the UCS Falcon and it would be perfect. Leia, Bathrobe Luke, R2, C3PO, the medical droid and Smuggler Lando.

Personally I think the Fluffy set is going to pretty hollow on the inside, the build next to the tower is probably where you are supposed to put Fluffly, because the tower is too small. If there’s a Final Challenge set coming (which fingers cross I do), the Fluffy set would have a trapdoor leading to it so you can place the Final Challenge set beneath it. Just like how Moaning Myrtle set is supposed to go above the Chamber of Secrets. I would assume it’s probably the $60 or $120 set which comes complete with the Devil Snare, Keys, Chess, and Mirror. If we get a Flying lesson remake before a Dueling Club remake, bro.....

It’s definitely the 2011 version with the dragon on top. Weird.

Anything Quidditch is just a big meh from me. Good opportunity for those who missed the Bricktober pack to get Hooch, but just incredibly unnecessary. Awesome stuff, congrats man!

https://ibb.co/album/HnmZhL This is the way I have it setup so it’s on the inside connected to the tower portion of the Astronomy Tower.
