Retro Brick Reviews

Thanks!

Out of curiosity, would you be able to post the Minifigure selection for Hagrid's Hut? (I tried PMing you, but it said you couldn't receive messages.)

Do you know if Ron and Hermione were in their Yule attire, or were they just placeholder figures?

Hmm. Not exactly what I'd hoped for, but not bad. I hope of course that it is changed before release, but I wouldn't be too bummed out if this is what we got.

Fair. Nice that we're getting a large, complete dance area rather than something like the Batman Movie JL Dance, at least.

I suppose so. Kinda disappointed that we won't have the hospital wing with the Clocktower, but I guess it's alright.

...So, only two figures were presented with the Knight Bus? That seems really odd. Compared to the other sets, it would seem odd for a $40 set to have less than 4. On a related note, is it possible that Minister Fudge might appear in a set? I could see him in the Knight Bus or Hagrid's Hut, and he's a character I'm surprised we haven't had yet.

Oh, really? I thought the Clocktower would be for PoA, and the Yule Ball figs would be in the Advent Calendar.

Speaking of the hospital wing, does anyone think we have a chance of getting Madam Pomfrey in the Clock tower? Seems like it might be our only chance for a while.

It's always possible. I could see them doing one with the large Hogwarts set of each wave. Maybe the Bloody Baron for the Clocktower, the Fat Friar for the Astronomy Tower (what I imagine will be the set for 2020, and which the Hufflepuff common room was near to), and the Grey Lady for Deathly Hallows. 1. Prisoner of Azkaban 2. Order of the Phoenix 3. Chamber of Secrets 4. Philosopher's Stone 5. Fantastic Beasts 6. Deathly Hallows 2 7. Half-Blood Prince 8. Deathly Hallows 1 9. Crimes of Grindelwald 10. Goblet of Fire

I respectfully disagree. While LEGO may have used the Philosopher's Stone Harry for 75955, that was likely just because midlegs weren't introduced yet, and they thought it'd be odd if this Harry looked different from the rest. Last year, a poster book came out that confirmed something I'd believed for a while: The variants in 71022 were based on PoA. While I doubt this confirms the final hairpiece (I'd hope for the 2008 Anakin hair in black, but they'll probably give all Harry's from this summer the Lloyd hair to maintain consistency), I think it's a good sign that Loa Harry will at least have smaller eyes and mid-legs.

That's entirely possible, and, if that's the case, then that's awesome and should please everyone.

I think that going with just the hoodie was the best choice, as it's a new variant we've never gotten before. And this is LEGO after all, so if you don't like the figure, you could always switch the arms to black to make it more closely resemble the robe.

Honestly, I don't mind if the costume is from the tent or the task. Both are similar designs, both look just fine, and neither are really worth getting worked up over.
