I just hate the way that open side of the AT looks when displayed like this

Damn.

On the US site these sets just say “coming soon”. Remind me, when are they coming out? Without being able to get HP sets until August it would be nice to have some sets to get in June

Meh, these sketches aren’t my thing

Yes, Tazer and Blazer are not identical to Hotrod and Blue Steel but they’re similar enough that I think they’re meant to be lego’s version of them

The Death Eater from the 2007 set has Bellatrix’s Death Eater mask so I always assumed it was her even though it doesn’t say it is

Yes this is exactly what I mean

But do you see how in this picture the base of the Astronomy Tower is attached at the front. The pin holes are towards the back with the whole side being open, so in reality it would look awkward and open if attached like this

The Avengers Tower set is SPECTACULAR

The top half of the Iron Man helmet looks superb. The bottom half is too chubby looking. I love the colors. Maybe I’ll buy it eventually and modify the bottom half of the helmet to my liking

I’m curious what the recommended way to attach the Astronomy Tower to the rest of Hogwarts is. So far, we haven’t seen anything official. It’s strange because the entire side of the AT is open and the pin holes are only in the back of that side so you really can’t attach that side to any other section of Hogwarts without the whole open side being visible when looking at the front of the caste.

Yeah Ron wears the striped green sweater for most of the film so he should have probably been given that print in the Burrow set

Yes it is! I love it. I just wish The Burrow, Grawp, and Privet Drive got new screen accurate prints

I would love exclusive versions of Harry, Ron, and Hermione in the D2C. Especially since they cheated out on them this year (not so much Hermione but Harry and Ron kinda got screwed over). If Harry has the same torso as Burrow and Grawp versions I’ll cry

Apparently the minifig pack

This way at least we get something in June, I’ll take it. And I also think it’s likely B&N or some similar retailer will get the sets in July just like last year. Is much rather wait one month than two. I hate how they do this but I’m sure they have their reasons for staggering the release this way, as frustrating as it is

All good, we knew what you meant, there are quite a lot of names being thrown around it’s very easy to get mixed up in a thread like this

I’m sure by “Crouch” you mean Fudge?

My guess is that he means there’s a lot but a lot can still mean less than 20. The most we’ve gotten in a set is 10 with the Great Hall I believe, so 15 would still please me very much as a minifigure collector

I think Ep9 Rey is pretty likely for the AC. My guess is she’ll have a blue saber though. Here’s hoping for yellow

Still it’s best to keep expectations lower than that. Personally, I’m expecting 10-15 figures. If it’s more than that, excellent, but I’d be very happy with 15. The more the merrier obviously

Exactly. I see a lot of people getting disappointed because the figures in this pack aren’t super rare exciting figures but that’s the whole point. It’s meant for army building. It’s a generic student pack, which is exactly what people have been asking for. Just goes to show once again that there’s no pleasing some people

That’s an option too. It’s not confirmed either way what it referred to to a few options are on the table

I agree. It’s one of those characters whose hair really doesn’t have a perfect match in LEGO so I’m fine with the new one they used. Although the Trolley Witch hair piece is another good option that arguably may look better than the Nearly Headless Nick hair piece. Funnily enough the Trolley Witch hairpiece also looks way better on Nick than the one he got as well

I really hope we get Harry in his HBP red jacket outfit in the Diagon Alley set. I know it isn’t scene accurate but it may be out only shot at getting that variant, and it would make for a nice exclusive version.
