Doesn't necessarily mean one of them is HP. Ofcourse it's very likely but definetely not confirmed

Posting pictures of leaks is not allowed here It's probably just the helmet just like with the Star Wars "busts"

I wouldn't expect anything at all, we're extremely lucky if we even get setnames

He's from the new Leaf theme

With all the MCU content coming in the next few years and lego's desire to use that hype it wouldn't surprise me if we don't see the X-Men untill their MCU introduction

We got Black Canary 2 years ago

Though that still wouldn't happen untill next year at the earliest

The ministry of magic could easily be turned into a set by giving us the Fountain of Magical Brethren and a few fireplaces (similair to how lego tackled Snoke's throneroom on the Supremacy). That would represent the main part of the Ministry good enough and the Veil could always be done as a small standalone set. Grimault place on the other hand is a fairly bland building and from the outside only distinguishable because of the neighbours the house itself hides in/behind (I still don't really know how GP works). Especially given the limited amount of sets I'd say we're definetely not getting Grimmault Place in the first year 5/6 wave.

I would say so, last year also gave us only 2 new dinosaurs (1 new species and 1 redesign)

The Justice League sets from 2015 weren't really JL sets though, more like ''BATMAN!!! (...oh and some of the Justice League members too)''. Out of the 7 sets released in 2015 only 2 didn't have anything to do with Batman. The 2018 Justice League wave was a little less Batman centric but was mostly made up of slight variations on builds we've gotten multiple times before. It's starting to look like every wave nowadays has an oversized bike, a mech, a helicopter and some throwaway builds. In my opinion they should just take let's say 2 JL members every year and release sets based on them as opposed to Batman, Batman and Batman

Weird how just one simpe poll can create so much hostility here.....

Yeah but Dobby at least had some presence and weight to his appearances, Kreacher's movie version was just...... there. But my comment on him not being that important wasn't targeted at your CMF suggestion but at your comment on him being an important character

I agree, Kreacher is the only character who couldn't really appear in any other set. Another reason why he's a perfect CMF character I guess so but Kreacher is sadly far from important in the movies. In the books he has a fairly prominent role (though he's a background character most of the time) but if they had completely cut him from the movies they wouldn't have been much different from what they are now

I see I should've been more specific: I meant none of the 4+ sets came with a new species of dinosaur

While it's a pretty important location for the movies I think it's unlikely. I'd say it's another one of those sets we might get when they're filling in the gaps

Looking at the advertisement for LoIN (haven't seen much of the show itself yet) I'd guess we're getting either the Mosasaurus or Allosaurus. And besides that aren't 2 out of the 4 sets from the 4+ line or am I completely misremembering things? If so the last JW 4+ sets didn't have any new dinosaurs

The thing is, we AFOLS are only a tiny portion of lego's total amount of customers

While I personally wasn't a fan of the theme I completely agree. If they go in that direct but make the style less feminine and more like it's ripped straight out of a comicbook it's pretty much perfect. As I said the style of the sets wasn't for me but I really liked how that subtheme came with a variety of completely different buildings (some even civilian) and they didn't shove in a crappy vehicle in every single set.

If we're lucky we'll see the sets in a few weeks at NYTF just like last year

I'm sure they'll do whatever it takes to release the Razorcrest in time for Season 2

They didn't specify which part of the year it would release in so it's probably legit. And BrickHeadz are probably far easier to design than let's say the Razorcrest. The info comes from credible sources so I choose to believe it, what you do is up to you

That shouldn't be hard, the only thing they have to do in order to achieve higher sales is realise DC has more characters than just Batman. Besides that they should add more variation in the builds by giving us either completely different vehicles or location sets. There are so many varying possibilities they just blatantly ignore like the Daily Planet, the Watchtower, the Hall of Justice, S.T.A.R. Labs or even some weird ones like Gorilla City (I really want LDCSV's Grodd). It all comes down to one thing: people are sick of not getting anything other than Batman EDIT: the months following the release of LEGO DC Super Villains would've been fantastic to release some sets based on the game's story. The above mentioned Gorilla City, LexCorp, Themyscira, Gotham Belltower etc.

Ah, I see I misunderstood you there. I thought you were suggesting having both Azkaban Bellatrix and Sirius in the CMF, so Sirius without the cloak/robes he wears over his prisonsuit in PoA. My bad! Lepin isn't out of business yet and they have already started a new knockoff brand called Nuagao so they can continue stealing sets. The leaks are in no way over, lego just doesn't show us much at the TF's as they used to. The sets for this year will without a doubt reuse faceprints from other themes, that happens with pretty much every theme. As long as the reused faces are inaccurate I won't complain and knowing lego they'll give those who desperately need a unique print a new one (Krum wasn't that bad imo) Idk about the budget. In 2018 lego gave HP a very high budget because it needed to have a big comeback (and it leeched off of some of Jurassic World's budget). Last year the budget definetely decreased a bit, though not much, which most likely happened because lego wasn't sure how the first wave would sell. Now knowing both waves sold very well I hope the budget is as high as it was in 2018, though we really don't know

As far as I know the CMF is selling very well, the current selection of sets.... not so much

Or just one unisex torso so they don't waste a slot....... They're not going to. Knowing lego they will just make her in a normal set and include the same figure of her in many other future sets (most likely her old hairpiece, 2 expressions, torso and the skirt piece with a print on it)
