If you go to B&P you even get an alert that any order you place will take longer than usual because of a high amount of incoming orders so that was to be expected. My order from July 3rd didn't ship untill the 29th

Depends on where you live, the cinema's here have opened over a month ago

The average PPR (price per part ratio) is 10 cents so that would put us around 4000 parts. Big sets like this one often use a good number of smaller parts so that elevates the piececount a bit, meaning it'll probably be somewhere in between 4000-5000 pieces. The 9035 pieces piececount of the Roman Colosseum is definetely not for DA as that would give it a pricetag of at least $800

I think 12 is unrealistically low. I'm putting my money on somewhere in the 16-20 range But the Falcon was mainly a giant display set, DA will be much more focused on minifigs

What could've been..... still so sad this never happened:

The next actors/actresses in line (again ignoring voiceroles) all have 3 figures, namely: Cate Blanchett, Silas Carson, Benedict Cumberbatch, Johnny Depp, Samuel L Jackson, Michael Keaton, Alfred Molina, Temuera Morrison, Chris Parsons and Andy Serkis So in terms of physical roles Davis definetely takes the cake!

If you just look at physical performances (so no voiceroles) he already is the actor with the most figures

At least shop size is a lot better than ''Do YoU gUyS tHiNk It'S mIcRoScAlE?''

Oh my god.... I just can't..... why are we discussing this again?! We've been over this so many ftimes I've lost count! We have solid proof that it isn't microscale so why does this discussion come up again? At this point it's almost as if some of you are in an abusive relationship with that guy, you know what he's like yet every single time he returns you keep crawling back to him. Just ignore him and put this useless microscale discussion to rest Can we please just move on to a relevant topic? Shop size? Set configuration?

Let's just get this over with guys. Ignore him and leave it to the mods, he's not worth our time

There's a sticker precisely cut to fit one of LEGO's doors..... but yeah that must mean it's microscale

Ollivanders, Scribbulus, Quality Quidditch Supplies, Weasley Wizard Wheezes, Daily Prophet office and Flourish and Blotts are more or less confirmed. The Leaky Cauldron could be coming as well and it looks like we're getting a small sidebuild for Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlor. Gringotts should be included too using logic but as you've undoubtedly seen that's a bit of a devisive thing atm

Some folks talked about him again 1 or 2 pages ago, he won't be dead as long as people keep mentioning his name

Oh great, now he's back too Just when I thought they were both finally gone for good both LordVoldemort and Kingnono return, ugh....

I really don't see them making Gringotts a seperate set. Surely we'll get a Gringotts Escape set next year but I doubt they'll be going beyond the Lestrange Vault and surrounding area. Releasing a $400 set and expecting customers to come back a year later to pick up the most iconic structure for an extra ~$100 also doesn't sound like a smart thing, especially considering Gringotts isn't really able to completely stand alone for those who aren't picking up DA imo (Ninjago City Docks for example was an expansion set but still completely able to stand on it's own). It's way more likely for them to include Gringotts with the sign printed or on a clear sticker as previously suggested.

''Why is it when something leaks, it's always blurry?'' - Minerva McGonagall...... I think

They have a dark gray background, I've never seen dark gray newspapers

Yeah the posters and that big grey sticker with all the pamflets etc

I'm also really glad they didn't ''waste'' any pieces on Borgin and Burkes

Finally some news, very exciting! I love how many shops we're getting but I'm a bit worried about Gringotts. But I guess the sign is really the only thing in terms of prints or stickers Gringotts really needs so I wouldn't say it's definetely not included yet. Idk why so many people are concerned about the Cauldron, there are 3 stickers for it on sheet B

It is indeed kinda frustrating but do take in mind we technically shouldn't even know about the existence of this set, as far as LEGO's concerned this set (and the CMF apparently) are still topsecret Damn, that's a lot. Makes my 1300-1500 a year sound a lot less crazy But as long as we enjoy this and keep our finances on track there's no problem spending a lot of money on something we enjoy so much

While that's true you can't really compare these themes with each other. Both Harry Potter and Star Wars are aimed at different audiences and have a higher budget than Marvel, which is really focused on kids (more so than most other licensed themes). If you compare these sets to sets from other themes Marvel will not come out on top, that's obvious. But within it's own theme and the expectations they've set over the years the sets I mentioned are perfectly fine.

I think most people here don't even want to know how much they spend on LEGO on a yearly basis, at least I don't

And they could always just throw in a Stormtrooper or two and say it's ''slightly based on BFII''

I've got a young puppy so she's keeping me busy as well but I still wouldn't say no to a DA reveal as soon as possible
