This year better be the year for Bly, I can’t just keep getting my hopes up like this.

I have been teetering on whether I should buy the Venator or not, but this new Y Wing has seals the deal for me not buying it. I just don’t have much room for it, not a huge fan of the build process of Star Destroyer which seems very similar to it, and now Rex being able to be bought else where theres no need for it. I do wish they kept it exclusive with the bandage print for those who bought it though.

Venator looks glorious I just hope it doesn’t have the same super long and flimsy paneling technique from the UCS Star Destroyer. That’s going to be my make or break on this set because that paneling drove me insane last time.

House on the Water has to be the Boat House right? And with that lineup I’d assume it would be Snape, DH Hermoine, DH Ron. Also FANG!!!!!!

Just got back from the Lego Store and welp ladies and gentlemen we got Gringotts! Street Complete! Good sized line packed with Harry Potter and Star Wars fans but I managed to get second in line with some Felix Felices so no worries there. There was only 10 Gringotts stocked up so I do feel for those who didn’t get one. Saw it in the flesh at the Lego Store and I’m telling you guys, it’s such a beaut you’re going to love it. Happy building everybody!

Under 24 hours till Gringotts, I’m very excite!

Hmmmm a Dobby mech would greatly compliment my Dobby the House Elf set if I do say so myself…

This! I thought that would be the most obvious configuration but I guess not.

About time for reviews, our thirst is quenched!

First find out when they open doors for the mall, not the listed hours. For example at my mall, the hours state the mall opens at 10 but the guard usually opens the doors around 9:20. So I usually aim to get to the mall at 9:00 and stake out just in case there’s a crowd but it’s usually not the case. This usually gets me in the very front of the line. It helped a lot when the Indiana Jones sets went on sale and there was such limited stock, I got all of them with ease. In your case I’d show up 8:30 since you don’t when the guard unlocks the door for extra insurance. Most of the time, I’m out the Lego store itself by 10:15/10:30. This wait is definitely going to be one of the tougher ones imo. We have our first Republic Gunship and Ghost in 10 years so I’m assuming the Star Wars boys will be out in full force which will definitely add to the line. And given the general popularity of Gringotts’s, I’m personally a bit worried how this one plays out. Diagon Alley had some long lines and that’s without the centerpiece and Star Wars sets. But that’s the fun of it, you never know what you getting.

Nice looking gwp, as if I needed one more reason to buy Gringotts day one, here’s reason number 327. I can never have enough goblins.

Yeah I saw that just right after I posted lol, hopefully she can post it soon. I’m really looking forwards to see how Gringotts looks with the rest of Diagon Alley in the flesh without being smack dab right in the middle like in the lifestyle photo. September 1st can’t come soon enough!

I just want a Gringotts review, I’m dying over here

Right now the only one I’m really waiting for besides Durmstrang Ship is the Lovegood House. Huge fan of the sets like The Burrow and 12 Grimmauld Place so I think that would be a nice spiritual successor.

Now this…this makes me happy. Forbidden Forest style set return? Leeetttssss Goooooooo

Looks as good as I imagined it, thanks for making the edit!

Word, thanks for the idea of completely removing the pet shop totally going to do it because it’s such a thrown together build, it doesn’t fit the vibe of the rest of the street. That’s really my only complaint of this set, besides that it’s a stunner.

I wonder if the wall portion on the left of Gringotts is able to connect to Olivanders in the straight line format because that’s the way I would ideally display it and the mine cart would be displayed separately.

Woooowww I think this might be my favorite Harry Potter set ever, it’s so visually striking and grand.

Can’t wait!!! This last wave was so disappointing to me so fingers crossed Gringott’s delivers in spades.

Gunship leaks are out! Blurry but you get a good view of the set and though smaller the color scheme is phenomenal.

Wow Yavin IV is such a big let down, it’s ridiculous. Should have made it a MBS, this feels so half baked in the build department.

As someone who only buys the Ninjago City modulars, got to say I’m not a huge fan of the City Markets. There’s way too much empty space between the two buildings and I have no idea how this has more than a 1,000 pieces more than the Gardens and is $70 more. I remembered being absolutely stunned everytime a new Ninjago modular is released, this left me feeling kinda empty to be quite fair.

Nice, I look into contacting Customer Service. Appreciate y’all.

Anyone know of any way to get a specific numbered step of a Lego set? I’m missing Bag 4 of Hospital Wing, threw out by mistake and I need it now after seeing the new combined Hogwarts.
