I'm starting to lose my patience store hunting so I just put a backorder on Willow, Hall, and Express. I checked 3 targets and nothing. Says July 16 it ships. Are Lego pretty good in keeping to backorder dates?
-
I can't believe how quickly they sold out. I had just made time to go pick them up just now at the lego store and all but Aragog sold out... I think there is no doubt the series will continue on but since the next shipment isn't till Aug 1, I'll be waiting with the UK people very patiently.
-
So happy you guys are seeing the Hogwarts Express at the lego store. Hopefully I can snatch one tomorrow as it's the set I want most.
-
If anyone goes to a Lego store today in person, please report your findings it will be greatly appreciated. Oh believe me I'll be a regular at all the three targets near me if I don't find it at my local lego store. Hehe

I think you should be okay. You probably won't fight anyone at all. I personally think that alot of people still don't know that the sets got moved up from Aug 1 (very unclear communication on Lego's behalf). And the Lego HP fanbase is nowhere near the size of Lego Star Wars fanbase and those sets didn't sell out on the well advertised Force Friday. I think my only concern is that they might not put them out until later in the day. Alot of stores take their time putting stuff out. Anyways good luck!

I think it's 60 per case 2/3 or so of each minifig. If you feel like splurging $240 on minifigs go ahead but I wouldn't recommend it. That's why I'm gonna buy 22 ($88) the day of and buy any other figure I need from Ebay.
-
It would have been cool to see because I love the subtle nods to the older figures in this line (Snape with the purple part of his torso, Harry and the cloak with the stars). But what I noticed is that there is coat printing on the legs of this new Moody since he rocks a trench coat. So there would be difficulty doing it to make it look symmetrical since it's a peg leg and getting printing on that would be tough.

That's odd that Harry doesn't have his short hair. I don't think he has long hair in POA if I remember correctly. And if Hogwarts Express is based on that film, he has short hair there. Some weird inconsistencies.
-
You know something is seriously screwed up when we have a Susan Bones figure before Lockhart. Master of the memory charm and actually charm. World reknown author and hair soap specialist. What has Slughorn done besides putting the Wizarding World at danger by showing Voldemort Holcruxes Excuse me sir but I'll have to inform you that you are objectively wrong. While the CMF looks good nothing can beat that lavishing red OG Dumbledore attire.

Fantastic job by the designers, gotta say I'm amazed. I think my favorite has to be Madeye because I had the him as a kid and even then I hated it and I didn't care too much about detail (still don't and think some of them are overdetailed). The improvement is amazing! I love how he can switch into Barty Jr. Neville and Dumbledore are sweet as well. I want to say the "big" three are from GOF but Ron has short hair. My only complaint is Luna's face is off and NO LOCKHART!!!!!!! I think we will see him in the next wave.
-
I want to hit the lego store on day 1 buts it's a Sunday and usually Sunday is a busy day for me. But i have a day off Monday so I will definitely do it then. Hopefully the Lego Store has plenty of stock.
-
What am I really happy about is that there is double VIP on July 1. Getting 500 points on this is gonna be great.
-
That news made me so happy that I really didn't care about the D2C being microscale.
-
So the WW, GH, HE, and Qudditch are all July 1st right? Just double checking because the lego stote is quite a drive and I don't want to return empty handed.
-
No one needs to step in. This is part of process. New info leaks we discuss it. No matter what opinion you have. And alot of people who had negative opinions just said plainly they are disappointed but the rest of sets look good and they would focus on that. Just because you disagree doesn't mean you can silence their opinion. They aren't going on screw Lego tiraids.
-
Man this kinda sucks.... I personally hope there are going to expand the system scale ones (Clocktower, Chamber, Greenhpuse). I'll buy evey single one.There is no way I'm buying a microscale version. But I'm not really mad though because I was worrying how I was gonna get Hogwarts and Cloud City. Now the answer is clear and I get very nice Harry Potter sets and Cloud City! Also the CMF line is going to be pretty sweet.
-
US right?
-
To be quite fair the OG first leaks by Sir Von Lego (back last August, crazy it's been almost a year and here we are) said that their would be sets only and that the CMF rumor came from a less reliable source. So I wouldn't be shocked if they don't exist. Anyways just like the new Hogwarts Express set, we don't know what Lego have up their sleeve. They have been very secretive about the whole thing.
-
Fake news. Stop spreading false rumors to back your wishes. You know nothing. Those eyes look awesome! Might display him with it. By far my favorite Lupin minifig.
-
There was supposed to be set reveal that day but since some have already been revealed idk if it still stands because Aragog and Briefcase have yet to be revealed. We shall see tomorrow. I do hope some CMF pictures leak soon (fingers crossed for Lockhart)
-
Hasn't been officially confirmed but if they sell well (which I think they will) then probably yes. Also them focusing mainly on Sorcrers Stone and Chamber of Secrets, makes me believe they will continue with Prisoner of Azkaban and Goblet of Fire (my two favorites) next year and continue the pattern of two films per year. Rumor is that Lego wants to make it "evergreen" akin to Star Wars.
-
Wait where did you see this? Because the leaked catalog said Augusto.
-
First off Hermione has a different outfit in the Hogwarts express than the other two. Secondly I think they want to give people a cheaper way to get Snape as the other set he is in is $80. Snape is a way more central character than Hooch and casuals and kids need him more. Anyways Hooch is going to be in the figure pack which hardcore collectors will buy anyways thanks to the wonderful minifigs of Umbridge, Slughorn, and Bogart Snape. I also think putting Snape in the CMF is a terrible idea and will be seen as lazy since he has no variants. As for the main trio, yeah they may appear alot but Ron has 3 variants, Harry has 4, and Hermione 2 to spice it up. It's not like they stick the same exact minifig. Filch's cat again is something that really hardcore fans will care about maybe CMF?
-
Alright I usually don't rant but the fact the people are disappointed with the minifigs is laughable to me. In the Great Hall we have Quirell who hasn't been around since '01, first hufflepuff, first Sir Headless Nick, an amazing Richard Harris Dumbledore who hasn't been around in a while, updated Hagrid, and new hairpieces for both Harry and Hermione which look perfect. Hogwarts Express has a new Lupin, first Trolley Witch, new dementor. Whomping Willow has an updated Snape with a cool callback to the original Snape with the purple, new Filch, and the first ever Seamus. Figure pack has updated Umbridge and Snape Bogart as long with the first ever Slughorn. This is just the first wave and we still have 22 minifigs to go. And you are going to complain about inaccurate clothing on two of them. Okay some of you guys are just looking for stupid reasons to complan. Lego want this to succeed and obviously put alot of thought and even went over budget to make these sets. Be thankful that they actually made HP sets again. These are the best sets in years by a country mile the only ones that compete are Ninjago City and the Ewok Village.
-
I think they will be variants. If I recall Umbridge has many pink attires and there could be a younger Slughorn. Especially with how US, UK, and Germany might not get a shot at the Bricktober set.
