Salix

Why not in all of them? :P I do wonder if we'll ever get Percy, he's in the movies, but hasn't been made in LEGO yet. However I doubt we'll ever get Charlie since he's only in one picture in the movies. :/

It's also a nice excuse to expand the Weasley siblings with Bill. :)

Yes, the four book sets and the LEGO Art Hogwarts Crest set.

So far only the Beauxbatons carriage didn't include Harry in the reboot.

Following the tradition of straight building, straight building, corner building, we need one more straight building before we get another corner building. At least this has been the pattern since the beginning with only one exception at the beginning where there were one corner building and 3 straight buildings in a row followed by a corner building presumably because Market Street wasn't counted at a modular building when it was released, but is counted as such now.

DA is still in stock over here in the Netherlands (both online and in both physical stores). I still need to rewatch it. I planned on rewatching it after rewatching HP prior to DA's release. Maybe I'll do that this weekend.

I'm pretty sure I've seen it in other stores as well earlier in the year. But I just checked and it seems the Safari off-roader dissappeared from all Dutch webshops (including those of physical stores) and is now only available from LEGO itself. EDIT: Nvm, I just see the above where TeriXeri said it's LEGO exclusive, so I must remember it wrong.

I bought mine in the LEGO Store in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

I just checked mine, and my sticker doesn't have that defect. And for what it's worth, my tape says 33S0.

The small pieces of tape that you have to cut when you open the actual LEGO box. For some reason European boxes usually don't have tape but have these pressure points you have to press to open the box damaging the box itself in the process, oh well. Big boxes like for instance Diagon Alley's do have small pieces of tape like in North-America. Apparently on the North-American boxes with tape they print a certain code indicating when it was packaged I think, but I'm not sure.

Okay, so I'm done unboxing the CMF. I got 3 complete sets of all 16 minifigures, additionally I got: - 2x Dumbledore - 2x Griphook - 2x Moaning Myrtle - 2x Harry Potter - 1x Hermoine Granger - 1x Ron Weasley - 1x Neville Longbottom - 1x Pomona Sprout

Woohoo! My HP series 2 CMF box just arrived from minifiguremadness.com =D For some reason I expected a bigger box.

There's this website called Brickwatch.net where you can track sets and it'll notify you when it's back in stock, it's how I kept tabs on the LEGO Creator Expert Crocodile Locomotive. However this website is only limited to the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France, and the UK. Basically it shows all webshops in those countries and shows their prices if in stock. It's how I look for the cheapest sets in Dutch webshops, very handy.

I'm currently still in the planning stages of making my city, so because LEGO is retiring the road baseplates, I've been ordering a couple more in case they don't return / take a long time to return. I wish roadplates would come separate per type instead of having mixed types, but it is what is. The winter wave does look interesting. More reminiscent of older City waves instead of the police/fire overload of this year.

I got that mail too. :)

Isn't it also time for another train wave? Or is that usually in the summer wave? Correct.

*If* that is correct, then that might mean there are either a lot of big pieces or even some kind of powered up motor or something.

They line up when you put the shops back to back, or when putting them all four in a row, then when shop face the streets they line up with the Modulars. However if you put the shops facing each other, so with the backs to the street then it will not line up.

I personally never felt CMFs and I've got a full box on the way apparently as I just got a random mail from DHL saying a parcel was registered in Dublin. Which made me wonder if it could be the CMF box from minifiguremadness.com and apparently it is as they are located in Dublin and in my order it does say delivery by DHL Express which is where I got the email from, so hopefully I'll have the CMF sometime next week. :)

I believe it's two pieces like the case that Jacob Kowalski from FB CMF has. Oh yeah, Newt has it too. Have fun! =D I finished it two days ago.

Fred is the one with the betting case right? If yes, then try feeling for that case as well as the hat/hair piece.

So a modern rework of 4730?

I'm waiting until December to open up the advent calendar.

Yes, if I understand it correctly. And probably.

Ooh, there's a Head Back to Hogwarts contest on LEGO Ideas: https://ideas.lego.com/challenges/3b09d960-8e40-4e79-8e15-16a254dd4f72?query=&sort=top
