Balrogofmorgoth

I hope it includes Krum just so they have a chance to redeem the face print Now I’m genuinely concerned

Glad Rey is from TROS but how many Tatooine Lukes do we need? That figure is getting old. Nice to have another Sith Trooper and Stormtroopers are always welcome

I mean all his information about the sets was accurate, so there’s that. But now this is the first time he’s really been wrong, but it’s not like it’s a little detail, he was way off. I was really looking forward to that OOTP Sirius

Well now I feel the need to doubt Kingnono’s information for the first time

I know I shouldn’t be this bothered by it but man it sucks that we have to wait another two months to get these in the US. Hopefully a retailer will get them in July like last year but even one month is no short time to wait. I’m very excited for all of you that are going to be able to get these soon though, I’ll be watching al the reviews for sure. I hope the time starts to fly I’m hoping we’ll get news of Diagon Alley, the CMF series, and the other mystery set while we’re waiting

I wouldn’t compare the current theme with the past iterations. All I’m saying is I don’t think it’s going to happen but I sincerely hope you’re right

I feel like the four Champions are an exception because of the nature of their characters in the story. I’m not saying it’s not going to happen, I just don’t think it will

But he never mentioned a second Tonks at all, that’s what I’m saying. That was only speculation on our part. Rita and Pomfrey were mentioned by name. Personally I find two different exclusive Tonks minifigs in one wave unlikely, but we’ll see

Tonks isn’t even a rumor, she’s pure speculation. Pomfrey and Rita are confirmed

This is pretty much how I see it too.

Keep in mind the hint said the set includes an iconic underground scene, it didn’t say the whole set was underground

I don’t think anyone has mentioned this yet, but what if the “iconic underground scene” kingnono mentioned is based on the climax of Sorcerer’s Stone? I would actually love that, a new Fluffy would be amazing

Actually it is connected it’s just hard to spot at that angle. It’s connected to the back of the Great Hall by the dance floor section which is a right angle I thought the plants in the greenhouse were supposed to be the venomous tentacula that Slughorn is cutting for “purely academic purposes”. But I guess they’re mandrakes

I would love a random toilet side build thrown in

Yeah a bit of street in front of each building with those printed cobblestone 2x4 tiles would be great

Kingnono specifically mentioned technic pins so I’m pretty sure the buildings will be modular in style and each have their own base rather than a large shared one

Yup. I like what they tried to do with the Astronomy Tower Luna, but to me it looks too strange. This is a time where I think a printed cloth skirt would have done a better job at depicting Luna’s dress than the printed dual molded legs. Same with Hermione. And honestly Lavender should have one too to be more accurate. But who knows, maybe in person the way they did it will look a lot better

Yeah I’m not a fan of the cloth skirts either. I feel like they have their place but they’re annoying

You don’t like the new skirt piece? Personally it’s one of my favorite newer molds, it’s been long overdue. I hated using the slope pieces they just didn’t look right

You know what’s really sad? I still see people putting the skirt pieces on backward. How can people have entire accounts dedicated to Lego minifigures and not know which direction minifigure parts go? Rant over

I actually never had any Lego Harry Potter sets before 2018 except for the 2004 Hagrid’s Hut. Didn’t have the money for the older sets when I was a kid and for the 2010-2011 sets I just prioritized other themes because I knew it would be temporary just like 2007, so I didn’t bother with it. Plus the style of the sets wasn’t updated enough for my liking. There wasn’t much effort. Some of the figures were nice so I went back later and collected the majority of them on eBay. But now I’m all in on the 2018+ sets. I have to buy every set, every CMF, every polybag, every D2C, every Advent Calendar, all of it because Lego is at a peak and these sets are coming out at the perfect time and they’re all amazing so I can’t miss them again

I remember that door piece a from a long time ago. I remember having the 2004 Hagrid’s Hut and it had that door piece. That’s the door that has the big keyhole that fits those big molded key pieces

I agree, but hopefully it’s a sign of things to come. I would love all the house ghosts

I wonder if this means as a minifigure or in a sticker or print in the background, sort of like Myrtle in the D2C Hogwarts

It kinda sounds like kingnono is saying we’ll see pics of the D2C soon.
