Not any real talks, more like hope that that would come. I hoped it would come this year, but we got that Diagon Alley accessory pack instead. Perhaps next year, but nothing known yet.

Looks like it, yes.

To be fair, that there are no rumours (yet), doesn't mean that there won't be one.

Not sure what you mean with "Most ever since relaunch in 2018"? Last year also had 4 sets in the Winter wave (5 if you count the Art set).

Fun fact: When you use Google translate for two languages which aren't English, it will translate the word through English. Example: When you enter the word "filiaal" which means branch of a store into Google translate and translate that to Polish you will get "gałąź" which means branch of a tree. So yeah...

I got McGonagall twice in the same bag in the GWP. So apparently it's that bad...

Did you check if the email address is correct? I've found the page, but there's no buy button on there for me at least. It does list it as €19,99 though (we use a comma as a decimal separator). Pretty sure all sets including GWPs have a page. Even retired ones. Maybe not all though.

Not in the UK, but in the Netherlands, and my order mail also took a little while to arrive.

It looks awesome btw. =D

Pretty sure you're using two quidditch sets. ;)

I don't think this is known yet.

I checked the US, Dutch, and Polish pages and it seems only the US one has the calendar for September and October. The Dutch one only has the one for September. While the Polish page has no calendars on it. Not sure if I'm allowed to share the link, but here you go: https://www.lego.com/en-us/stores (for US) and https://www.lego.com/pl-pl/stores (for Poland).

Actually, this mostly hits Germany as over here in the Netherlands we were already paying more than in Germany while we both have the same currency (euro). So LEGO decided to make it so all prices in the countries that use the euro are now the same as there were retailers who thought to be smart and bought LEGO sets in the country where it is cheaper, e.g. Germany, and then sold it in a country where the suggested retail price is higher. This means that for instance in the Netherlands and France prices are staying the same and Germany's prices will go up to match ours. It has nothing to do with Western Europe specifically, this is for all countries using the euro which are all over the place, not just the western part. Not even the EU, specifically the countries that use the euro. As there are some EU members, e.g. Denmark and Poland, who do not use the euro (yet). For some reason the prices were higher in the Netherlands when compared with Germany. As far I know this has nothing to do with a test, but rather inconsistency between countries that use the same currency.

Technically they are incorrect as the sword of Gryffindor isn't a horcrux. It's even the opposite as it can destroy horcruxes. Would've been better to call it something else like Founder attributes or something. EDIT: I just noticed that the colours used for Gryffindor in combination with the lion reminds me of Belgium.

Yes, definitely. Especially the Burrow itself. What does WV mean?

It does not. They are duplicated in the Advent's Calendar though.

I would love a Hogsmeade train station with a motorized Hogwarts Express that has at least two passenger wagons. Could also include the thestrals.

That is indeed nice. Even if this wasn't during Christmas. :P

They are also still available overhere in the Netherlands.

I'm pretty sure we won't since there's a new thread each year. :P But on a serious note, I hope we'll get a Gringott's rather sooner than later.

I'm kinda disappointed one of the icons wasn't Dobby's sock. :P *laughs in UCS Dobby's sock*

I certainly supported it as I want one too. :)

I'd want it to be minifigure scale. Not microscale. Plus the Hogwarts quidditch pitch is just a school pitch not a full blown stadium as seen at the World Cup. Imo it should be feasible. The regular quidditch set with one goal costed only €40. So doubling that would be €80. Adding yet another 6 towers would add €50 or something. So making the towers taller than that set plus adding other details and such as well as at least 28 minifigures (7 for each team) could probably result in it costing something like €300. But I kinda doubt though that LEGO would make a set with so many minifigures. :( Perhaps the set would come with just 2 teams and the 2 other teams could come in separate sets? Also to put a disclaimer, this is just something I want. This is not a rumour. :P

I would love a quidditch pitch D2C. Just a complete pitch with 4 complete teams, one for each house. But I guess I'll just dream on and MOC it. :P

That's the same one as Amazon sells. :P
