Harry Potter 2020 - Rumors & Discussion
TheRandomBlocker replied to Captain Nemo's topic in LEGO Licensed
I’m tempted to order it then, either that or wait until I get paid then order it, potentially risking it going on back order again by the time I can afford it ?? -

If you don’t mind me asking, what other play features does the set have? I only display the sets (don’t play with them), but I do enjoy using the features occasionally, also, in your opinion, what is your favourite part of the set? -
Harry Potter 2020 - Rumors & Discussion
TheRandomBlocker replied to Captain Nemo's topic in LEGO Licensed
I just meant in any theme in general, I forgot about the MilFal, but I was more referring to “normal”, non-D2C sets because they kinda make sense to have multiple films in 1 set, I just thought it’d be interesting for a Borgin and Burke’s set to be based on both HBP and CoS with the characters because it could be a cheap way to get Narcissa Malfoy outside of a Forbidden Forest/Malfoy manor set speaking on Malfoy Manor, if we get that before a Wayne Manor I will be majorly annoyed ?? -

100%, I would actually prefer B&B to be a stand-alone set because then we could get more unique figures, have they ever done a set with figures from multiple films? Broken glasses Harry and maybe the witch from Chamber and then Narcissa and Draco from HBP ?? -

??, if you have an opinion share it, if others disagree then that’s their problem ?, I don’t hate OS Disney, but I do think that set is ugly, overpriced and a really bad choice, like there are so many other things Disney related to make a D2C of, I’m not sure of any delays, but I hope it comes out on time in the US because I want to watch YouTube reviews before I consider buying ??, obviously it’s a selfish reason ?, I think it’s pretty cool that we’re getting the Burrow and Diagon Alley in the same year, shame that it probably won’t come with B&B so no “diagonally” Harry ?, also a shame that we didn’t get the Willow and the Shrieking Shack in the same year, especially because the Willow has the entrance to the passageway to the shack on it ?? -

Are you kidding? That thing is uuuuuuugly, if Diagon Alley is less popular than that then I’m incredibly worried for fans of Lego ??, but in all seriousness I can see DA selling really well and the MM/MM thing not selling all that well, I mean I don’t even know what it is (except ugly ??) -

I’m happy I didn’t have to choose, I couldn’t get the Burrow where I work so I’ll have to wait until I’ve been paid and it’s back in stock, luckily I have 2 paydays in July ?, do Lego take money for backorders straight away or when they ship them? -

Ofc, I completely forgot about that, guess that’s the problem with not having the set, darn you Lego exclusives *shakes fist* ?? -

Oh yeah, I get ya, I’ve never actually had one of those before, only that door with the rounded window things that are square in the Great Hall -

TheRandomBlocker replied to Captain Nemo's topic in LEGO Licensed
Awesome, thank you, next to 4 Privet Drive it looks huge ?, cannot wait to build it, potentially stupid question, but what’s the play feature using the cog at the bottom? For me it wasn’t the windows I struggled with, but the solid piece used inside the door on the Astronomy Tower main door, was ridiculous ?? -

You and I seem to be the same person because that exactly the piece I was thinking of, but yeah, would seem that either it’s retired or would’ve cost too much for them to be accurate ??♂️? -

TheRandomBlocker replied to Captain Nemo's topic in LEGO Licensed
Not you, I had the same in the Astronomy Tower, really struggled to get it in one side, flipped it, wouldn’t go in at all, flipped it back struggled but got it in, one side is smaller than the other ☺️ -
Harry Potter 2020 - Rumors & Discussion
TheRandomBlocker replied to Captain Nemo's topic in LEGO Licensed
Don’t get me started on that, 2 Anglias, no Twins ?? I 100% agree, I really hope we get the Ironbelly because it would make for a great set, especially if the DA includes a highly detailed Gringotts, you could even have him bursting out of the roof like in the film That’s exactly what I was thinking, would be so cool, I’m disappointed we didn’t get small dragons in the set to symbolise the 4 model dragons, although I guess it would’ve been difficult to make them accurate anyone who has both the Burrow and Astronomy Tower, can you tell me (or better, post a photo) how big is the Burrow compared to the Tower, because the same price but the Burrow has more pieces, yet irl it would be a lot shorter than the Castle (as would Grawp who is definitely not lmao) -

Ah, I get you, that never made much sense to me because every time you see the Willow it’s in a different place, sometimes surrounded by trees, sometimes not surrounded by trees ??, I guess that’s what happens when you have multiple different directors ?? -
Harry Potter 2020 - Rumors & Discussion
TheRandomBlocker replied to Captain Nemo's topic in LEGO Licensed
Whilst I agree that OP did ask for forest scenes, a single tree doesn’t make a forest and the Willow is still far away from that scene, they fight in Hogsmeade, the only reason I even mentioned the Willow is because of the underground passage from that to the Shrieking Shack ? I doubt we’ll see another dragon in this theme unless it’s the one from Gringotts in a DH based set, I would like small sets for the other 3 champions though, I know you don’t actually see them fight their dragons but would still be cool af -

Holy cow, just had a look at the Burrow on Lego.com and it has 1047 pieces, the Astronomy Tower has 971, how big is that house?! I’m honestly in love with it and cannot wait to buy it, wish the AT was exclusive instead, would rather have the Burrow rn (prefer the figures and I’ve always wanted a Burrow set so dream come true seen as I wasn’t into Lego when the first one came around) The snowball fight was in front of the Shrieking Shack, nowhere near the FF, closest tree is the Willow ?? -

They could even have 1 less figure and get rid of Draco seen as he had actually ran off at that point (I know he comes back with Hagrid, but I could see him not being in that figurative set) -

Anyone else got a misprinted instruction booklet for the Astronomy Tower? Mine says Draco is in bag 5 instead of Luna and that no-one is in bag 6 instead of Draco ? -

Whilst it’s true that they can’t attach it to the current baby head, they could easily make a new one, plus they could’ve just done 1 pot/cauldron that it would fit in, or not even include them which would’ve made more sense imo seen as the set is based on HBP ??♂️ -

But the fully grown mandrakes look like actual babies (they have a piece for that) these just look like tubes of nothingness -

Ooh, exciting ? genuine questions from someone who loves collecting minifigures and they are what make a set for me, what made you decide to purchase it minus the figures? ☺️ -

TheRandomBlocker replied to Captain Nemo's topic in LEGO Licensed
Wait, it comes with a pig?! I love Lego animals and more animals makes me happy (genuinely didn’t know it comes with one ?) on a side note, are they not allowed to use CMF parts in sets? The mandrake in the CMF is so much better than the 4 in the Astronomy Tower -

??, thats 1 more than the Astronomy Tower, now I’m seriously excited about getting that set ? -

Fellow Lego aficionados, is there a website that tells of how many bags are in a set? If not, how many bags are in the Burrow set? -

Whilst that is a good bet, I would rather have gotten the early film twins (1-3) earlier in the wave because HBP F/G have completely different outfits to their school uniforms, but I guess we’ll likely get them in a later wave (I hope)
