It's less realistisc but I would gladly sacrifice the Dumbledore, Neville and Luna categories. There's really not much more to do for those characters.

For those who missed it: JWE is free on the Epic Games store untill the 7th. It's not an amazing game but I'd definetely recommend picking it up while it's free.

That's some stellar work @Bugbot20082! Looking at the figures alone (not the accessories) there are a lot of cool characters and variants that I'd love to see but also quite a few figures I find far more likely to appear in a normal set and ones that wouldn't be all that interesting (like multiple casual versions of Neville). Figures that I find more likely to appear in a set include: all 4 of the listed Second Task figures, Year 6 Dumbledore, Rita Skeeter, Year 7 trio variants and Umbridge, Narcissa Malfoy, Year 7 trio casual variants, the Grey Lady. There are a lot of great ideas here but I think this could be condensed into 2 series.

Uhmmm..... there's a Legacy set with the exact same name as it's predecessor.

Afaik that's not a thing.

Lack of legprinting for the figures who need it is a pretty big problem for a lot of themes imo. It's 2021 so at this point every single character that needs legprinting, regardless of the theme it's from, should be able to get it. Dualmolded parts and armprinting are understandably a type of ''premium'' detail but legprinting has been around for so long and costs so little that it should be mandatory at this point. When the Eternals sets leaked last week everyone (including myself) was estatic to see every figure had unique legprinting but it's honestly kinda sad that we have to celebrate things like that

Are you sure you're not confusing it with Hogsmeade's Scrivenshaft's Quill Shop? Scribbulus does actually make an appearance a couple of times in the books but it's name is never mentioned.

Just the Mechanic

You're not reading the info correctly. There were 12 sets planned for this year, quite possibly spread out over 2 waves, but because of JWD's delay there isn't a lot of concrete info on what sets will or will not keep their 2021 release. So yes there are 12 sets but they're not all coming out this year.

To add detail where bricks don't quite do it. With things like signs, computer screens, portraits, chalkboards etc I'm totally ok with stickers (although I do prefer prints) but for things like bookcases or shelves filled with potions I'll take actual bricks over a sticker any day.

They captured the set designs pretty well with those stickers but for things like that I personally prefer brickbuilt detail, that's why they're of no use to me.

The info for those sets has been out there for months now, the new sets me and Azani talked about are brand new ones that have never been mentioned yet.

Because of the changes in the MCU's release schedule. Eternals was originally supposed to release in November 2020, was then delayed to February 2021 and got delayed again in late september with the current releasedate of November 2021. LEGO sets based on MCU movies usually release 1 or 2 months before the mvoie so the sets were most likely supposed to come out in December or January so there's a good chance the sets were already in production by the time the latest delay was announced. Stopping the production process mid-production and starting it back up a few months later is expensive and so is storing all those manufactured sets for a good half year. LEGO wanting to release the Eternals sets much earlier than they usually do for MCU movies makes a lot of sense from a logistical pov.

I can't and won't elaborate much more on it but there are actually 12 sets.

We discussed it on the previous page, it's fake.

That could very well be but looking at the last few years that wouldn't be more than 1 or 2 sets anyway.

I don't follow Speed Champions so I have no clue what's going on with that theme but the uncertainty surrounding the releasedates of the Jurassic World sets is because of the delay of Jurassic World: Dominion. As far as I'm aware the only themes with a messy release schedule this/next year are Marvel, DC and Jurassic World. So basically the themes that had movies coming out that ended up getting delayed. For Jurassic a fairly substantial amount of sets had to be moved because of the films delay but I'm not sure wether that applies to the entire lineup or just a select part of it. From what I've heard some sets might still release this year but don't quote me on that. If we do get some sets later in the year I'm expecting them to be based on the 5 current films or maybe some sets that did fall under the JWD umbrella but didn't tie directly into the movie like 2018's Dilophosaurus Outpost Attack.

There are more sets than that actually and their prices are also all known, they just haven't been reported on by anyone because most (if not all) Jurassic sets for 2021 have been delayed and rumors on what will and won't be released this year are fairly vague.

But if they're on the same level as Eternals we have some great stuff to look forward to. Fingers crossed!

Not sure where that $230 pricetag is coming from but the largest set is $250 I agree and a UCS Quidditch Pitch would also take up a gigantic amount of space which most people don't have available. And even if I did have that space available I'd much rather use it for something else

From my experience LEGO is fairly inconsistent when it comes to GWPs for backorders so I'd recommend contacting customer service, they should be able to look that up quite easily

There are quite a few characters missing actually, not to mention fan-favorite costumes. They could easily fill up ~4 series with the current MCU releases.

The good thing here is that (at least in my opinion) this rumored Marvel CMF will most likely have something for everyone, regardless of wether it's based on the comics or the MCU.

While I'd love to get Borgin and Burkes eventually I think it would also be kinda cool to get the Broomsticks store located on the far left of the current street, if you ignore WWW that would give us a 100% accurate LEGO version of the right side of Diagon Alley as seen in Chamber of Secrets. I'd want them to reserve at least $50-70 for the Ukranian Ironbelly so it can be the best it can possibly be and we don't get into another Horntail situation. Considering each section of the Diagon Alley D2C is roughly $100 I'd give Gringotts a rough estimate of around $120 and around $50 for the broomsticks store. So in total that would be Gringotts, the broomsticks store and the Ukranian Ironbelly for roughly $220 which would leave a generous amount of budget to go all out on minifigures and give us recolors of Griphooks new headmold, a proper dressprint for Bellatrix and so on.

To clarify: although the 'Jurassic World is cancelled' info is definetely fake it's still possible that we're getting the Lovegood house and Durmstrang ship this year. The 'rumors' this person uses as a source are just bs.
