Harry Potter 2020 - Rumors & Discussion
Balrogofmorgoth replied to Captain Nemo's topic in LEGO Licensed
Funnily enough, I’ve never guessed wrong when feeling the blind bags, my brother even asks me to go with him when he searches for them because he knows I can find the right ones. Harry with the cloak took a while to find for me too though, he was one of the last ones I found -

Just some set numbers and prices. The only sets we know about are the buildable D-O, Stormtrooper Helmet, and Boba Fett Helmet coming in April. Aside from that, all that has been said is that the majority of the summer sets are prequel era -

I’m just glad we’re getting Clone Wars sets. The least I’m hoping for is an updated CW Obi-Wan, Anakin, Ahsoka, Maul, and Bo Katan. That may even be too much to hope for. A 332nd Rex would be great but I don’t have a lot of hope for that. I’m not expecting a bunch of background clones or Jedi as great as that would be. I typically just rely on CloneArmyCustoms for my clones (they just released a Sergeant Hound figure btw). But the five figures listed above are what I really hope for, and I think three of them are pretty safe bets -

Balrogofmorgoth replied to Captain Nemo's topic in LEGO Licensed
Yes, I’m very curious about this myself. Maybe a lack of FB figures will factor into it or maybe it won’t. I guess we’ll see. I’ll try not to be disappointed if there are less than last time. That being said, they sold like crazy, probably better than any CMF to date, so I wouldn’t be surprised if HP gets more slots than other CMF lines -

I also think we’re setting ourselves up for disappointment if we think that only extremely important characters will be in the CMF series. That wasn’t the case the first time and it likely won’t be this time. I’m actually perfectly fine with that because it means we could get minor characters that wouldn’t appear in sets. I think someone like Rita Skeeter would be a prime candidate honestly. There will probably be some “filler” minifigures that people generally may not be shouting for joy over, but over time that’s how we get so much variety -

It would be a really nice detail. And I would love a POA/GOF version of Draco. He could come with a Potter Stinks badge and a white ferret -

Exactly, which is why I’m more excited for the next couple years of this theme than I even was for the last couple. It’ll be the first time we get proper waves of sets from movies 5-8 -

I’d love to get the decayed version of Palpatine with the white eyes and black robes and hopefully also the reborn version with the red and black robes and Sith eyes in another set. Both in one wave are very unlikely but hopefully eventually we’ll have both versions -

Balrogofmorgoth replied to Captain Nemo's topic in LEGO Licensed
I agree. I think it’ll happen eventually, but there is a chance for some more GOF figures and variants in this CMF series I think. I know all of them at once is very unlikely but a few might happen. I think characters like Karkaroff and Rita Skeeter are likely -

The large one could be a Final Order Star Destroyer, that would be cool -

Balrogofmorgoth replied to Captain Nemo's topic in LEGO Licensed
I want second and third task variants too. I think the best way to do it would be to include Third Task Fleur and Krum in the CMF since they wouldn’t likely appear in a set. And then eventually there should be a second task set since we don’t have any of those variants -

Balrogofmorgoth replied to Captain Nemo's topic in LEGO Licensed
I’m honestly shocked we still haven’t gotten a BS list, which I’m kind of bummed about, they’re usually very entertaining. I like all of these a lot. A couple things to point out, however, are Fleur obviously already happened in the Carriage set so that leaves a slot open. And as cool as they would be, Cho and Cedric never appear in Quidditch robes in the movies and I don’t see them making two unique variants that are exclusive to the books -

So begins the slow drip of information. At least it’s something. I’m hoping there are more than just four sets and an advent calendar though Here’s some speculation about what these sets are: $20 The Horcrux Cave $30 Ministry Battle $70 The Burrow $100 Hogwarts Astronomy Tower Obviously these are only guesses and not in any way confirmation of anything solid (I feel like I have to say that for some people). -

I’m not so sure, Clone Wars has a massive fan base and is arguably the best thing to come out of the newer canon. I think the majority of fans that explore more of SW than just the films are Clone Wars fans -

It seems that bad when you compare it to TCW and Mando which would make crazy money. I just didn’t think Lego was this stupid -

That’s extremely disappointing and just doesn’t make sense. What are they thinking -

I just don’t understand their mentality here. It’s obvious what fans want. I don’t get it. I’ll wait until we get more specifics before completely losing hope but this does not bode well at all -

I’ll very disappointed if we don’t get Clone Wars sets. Clone Wars and Mandalorian sets were really the only SW sets I was looking forward to this summer. If we don’t get any, then I’ll be really bummed but at least my wallet will be happy. More money for Harry Potter -

Keep in mind having several exclusive figures in one advent calendar is extremely rare. It happened with the 2019 HP one but I’m not sure we’ll be that spoiled every time. Although it was thrown together last minute but who knows. Just be careful treating an advent calendar like a CMF line We started seeing factory leaks in February last year so who knows, maybe sooner rather than later -

Balrogofmorgoth replied to Captain Nemo's topic in LEGO Licensed
It seems HP was one of the restricted themes. Maybe some info will leak somehow now that some people have seen them but it’s likely we’ll just have to keep waiting. Maybe we’ll get rough sketches after the fact by memory like we did last year, but who knows, that probably breaches some restriction or other, and nobody really wants to risk it. Bummer. All I care about are licensed themes and they’re all off limits -

I paid full price and don’t regret it one bit. The figures are great (the Tusken is new, for now only in this and Ben’s Hut). The Bantha build is great, but I feel like it’s worth $20 because you get two figures, the Bantha, and some spare parts, which are never a waste in my book -

I’m anxious as well, I’ll get whichever one wins, they’re all great options! I also think all three are probably going to happen in the coming years. They would have been very meticulous in the three sets they chose, they probably had more private polls just to narrow it down to those three, meaning each of them is as likely as the others in Lego’s mind -

If I misunderstood, then I apologize I’m about to start building the Star Destroyer, and it is a monster, the box is very close to the size of the box of the Falcon
