It just looks nothing like her hairstyle. Hermione’s hairpiece is literally perfect. The Qi’Ra piece worked for Qi’Ra but it was a very specific hairstyle from that specific character. Idk it just didn’t work for me on Molly. The reused Helga Hufflepuff face print is ok but I wish they had given Molly a unique face print. Maybe someday we’ll get a CMF for a battle of Hogwarts version of her or something and we can switch out the other two variants faces with that one

If they use the Hermione hair piece, I will absolutely be using it to replace Molly’s horrible Qi’Ra hair

Maybe it is, but it’s just as disrespectful to get all pissy at the people who can afford it and actually enjoy it. Lego collecting isn’t cheap. It just isn’t. You can’t expect it to be and call it junk just because you’re not willing to dish out the cash

If we don’t get the original trio I will be so upset. I do want Dominion versions of Owen and Claire since I love variants, but I don’t think that will be a problem. I also really really want Dodgson

Yes, I paid it gladly and still think it was worth every penny. It’s a really good set all around

It wasn’t needed for any of them, and now they all lack the detail and proportions they used to have. Not to mention sea are now inconsistent in scale to each other. The TIE especially looks kind of ridiculous. Looks like the 4+ set

Same all around. We’ll see about the Slave I. Maybe once there’s a discount. It is odd that a Slave I is the same price as an X-Wing. This scaling down thing is really annoying, I loved the previous scale

That set was fantastic, I don’t see what there is to complain about. The dinos were amazing, the figures were great, the build was useful and very nicely designed and depicted an actual movie sequence/sequences. I thought it was a fantastic set and worth every penny. If anything, the Gallimimus set was frustrating because I really only wanted the Gallimimus (you can never really have too many Pteranodons either), and yet it was a medium/large set I had to dish out $50 for. At least the Indominus set gave us a real movie scene and two large Dinos

I wonder what happened to that HP rumor list that was supposedly coming soon per M&R

Thanks, sorry I was just really excited about those two things and wanted to make sure I didn’t set my self up for disappointment

That’s a relief. Any chance it has to do with the CMF?

Pretty cryptic on IG. I gotta ask, does that mean there aren’t as many Disney+ MCU sets as you thought?

I wouldn’t want it to replace any potential new dinos but one can never have too many Pteranodons. I like the way it was done in the Gallimimus set in 2020. A new dino with a Pteranodon thrown in the set to make things interesting

I bought the 20th Anniversary Slave I from S@H right before Christmas, so the stock issues must be very recent I found a single Mando Tatooine set at Target today btw

I agree about Slave I, a new version for TBOBF would have been far more appropriate than another OT release, and in the new undersized scale at that (which I’m not at all a fan of). However, TBOBF is probably exactly why there’s no Mando Boba figure in this wave. It’s a figure they probably want to save for a TBOBF set. Although the same could have been said for Fennec as well. Also, keep in mind there are probably one or two unknown exclusives. I still really want Cobb Vanth as well. The Tatooine set would have been so perfect but I understand why he wasn’t in it

I agree. It couldn’t be done justice at a UCS scale at only $200. It would look great, but just like the Tantive IV, it just wouldn’t really be UCS. I’m glad they decided not to brand the Tantive IV as UCS since it really is a system scale set.

My pick would be Grimmauld Place Christmas from OOTP. But more than likely it’ll be Slug Club

Personally, I think there’s plenty of value in having different building techniques for the same thing. For example, I loved Anakin’s Jedi Interceptor from 2020 even though I have both previous versions of the exact same ship. I don’t regret getting any of them or feel like they were a waste. I’m sure if they eventually remake the Great Hall, for example, it’ll be different enough from the 2018 version that I will thoroughly enjoy having both. That being said, I don’t really see the point in continuing the theme that long. I would much rather it eventually be replaced with a LOTR reboot

Good point, I hadn’t thought of that. It would be a shame if so many parts went to a base though. But I suppose it may be necessary

Maybe they’ll have us build all four legs first so that when we build the “body” we can attach it right to all four legs so it’s upright rather than building the body first and having it on it’s side awkwardly with each leg we attach afterwards

I agree, Walker legs are the most repetitive and sometimes grueling building experiences by far. The system ones are bad enough as you say. At least the AT-M6 had different front and back legs so it wasn’t as bad. But this is definitely gonna be brutal. I just rebuilt my UCS AT-ST and that felt rough with only two gigantic legs. It’ll look great though!

I’ll never understand the people that expected anything crazy minifigure-wise from this set. Honestly I’d be very happy with two Clone Pilots. If anything, I’d love them to add updated Anakin, Padme, and Obi-Wan figures but it’s highly unlikely. Expectations for this set’s figure lineup from certain people is absolutely ridiculous. I can almost guarantee it will be marketed as an Ep. II set. And yet people still want every clone wars character that ever appeared in it

I definitely would have preferred a Death Star but an AT-AT is also an option most of us have wanted for a long time, myself included so I’m happy with it. We’ll get an enclosed Death Star eventually

I can’t argue with that

Scum and villainy
