It was $1,299.00.

I added mine to my cart at 11:59 Australian time and the Hagrid and Buckbeak got added to cart. I would just suggest adding it to cart as soon as possible and you will find out. If it doesn't get added you can delete it and wait til it hits midnight or you can just forgo it if you don't want to wait. But may as well add it to cart as soon as you can and you'll have your answer clear as day. But as I said, for me it seemed to work early. Also not that it's any great indication for other countries, but it hasn't sold out within an hour in Australia. So hopefully it should be all good! :-) Good Luck!

Well that would explain it! :-D I wasn't going to lose sleep over it anyways. Would have been nice, but it's not like the is anything exclusive about it.

Ordered! :-D Only seemed to get the Buckbeak and Hagrid on the Australian site. No polybag.

Thanks for that! :-) Is the "21" a reference to something? I understand the silencio is alluding to it being a secret, but not sure what 21 means! :-/

So... is this 21 Silencio! box on LEGO leaks actually to do with LEGO? Any ideas what it is?

Think i've got enough for $90 off, but just not sure whether to redeem them in advance or whether I should wait till I know the set is in stock and available to me. Never used it before, so not sure if it takes a long time to process or anything. Lol. Gonna have to get onto my Bricks and Pieces order soon. Should be only 5 hours til release here now.

Does anyone have any advice on whether I should claim my VIP discounts now or after the set becomes available?

If New Zealand is anything like Australia, the Advent Calendars are slowly starting to show up in retail stores now.

His mum was a giant and his dad was so tiny that when he was a child he could pick his dad up and put him on a shelf. So basically, I think Hagrid would have fallen out! :-D

We started watching them just because I wanted to compare the movie to the set. Coincidentally watching one a night we are scheduled to finish the day of release! :-D

Thanks so much! :-D I'll have a look!

Has anyone found double trouble online yet that they could share? Busting to see it and can't believe it's so difficult to find.

Since some of you seem like geniuses at navigating Bricks and Pieces I wonder if you might help? Other than the Stranger Things set, do you know of any other sets (Or individual part numbers) that have nougat or reddish brown heads available? Thanks in advance! :-)

Finally got the last part (the hat) for my Hogwarts Express driver based on this fellow from the theme park! :-D https://flic.kr/p/2jAQ63o

Just out of curiosity as a Moccer, what is it that makes you see a set as particularly useful? What about this isn't useful? And what's an example of the sort of sets you find useful? You don't have to answer all the questions, but just genuinely curious. :-)

I was just wondering the same thing. Busting to see it! Such a great series.

You are right. Very, definitely blue! Just watched it last night and there is no room for discussion on its colour! Lol.

It's a universal countdown. It is the exact same time on the countdown here in Australia too. The time is going to end somewhere basically on every hour somewhere in the world. So it will be 8pm in Eastern Australia. Just thought, if that's the reveal time and it does actually get released first thing on the 1st, then the reveal will only be 4 hours ahead of the release. Only 2 hours if you live in New Zealand.

I'm 99% sure it's a sticker. That's one of the few I actually remembered from the sticker sheet reveal. Definitely there. Just checked: It definitely looks better, but unfortunately it makes it much more inaccurate. I think it looks absolutely gorgeous in the dark red that someone photo-shopped, but again... not accurate. I hated the pink cube at first, but after re-watching the movies and looking at the details and realising how accurate the original design is. I love it now!

Doesn't matter who gets to the mall doors earliest, it's who can get from there to the LEGO store the fastest! :-D Unfortunately for me the excitement is going to be sitting refreshing the page over and over and then the race to checkout the fastest. That's if it even shows up. Stayed up to purchase the Burrow day one online and it didn't become available for another 3 weeks. Lucky I didn't sit there refreshing til it came out! :-D Wish I had a LEGO store near me. Nearest one for me is a flight or 12 hour boat ride! :-/

Wonderful. Thank you! :-D

Quick question for anyone else that has looked into this... are the only released figures so far in relation to their set/school year that have the incorrect sized legs, the ones from the Hogwarts Express set? I have gone through and checked all of them as far as i'm aware, but just want to check I haven't missed anything. :-)

No problem. To be honest I didn't realise just how accurate the set actually is. If you exclude WWW, the set is 100% accurate in order, layout and scale to the first movie. There is even a blink and you'll miss it shot of the first two buildings (took me 5 attempts to freeze on the right frame as it's so short). https://ibb.co/1zhMzMv They walk past these two a second later, but it's quite blurry. I personally was with most people thinking the set didn't look very good. I was rather underwhelmed as my references previously had been pictures of universal and the London studio tour. After looking at the scene again in a bit more detail. I am 100% sold on the set. It is super accurate to it's source and on the external side I can find little to no faults in the set at all. It's even quelled my irritation at the exclusion of Gringott's as It's much further down the road (although I will agree that WWW doesn't exactly belong attaching to Flourish and Blotts either). So I hope these pictures help some others because they have really made me appreciate the set more than I originally did.

I've just rewatched the 1st movie tonight and got screen captures that might answer one or two questions i've seen on here. The first is a picture of QQS. Which if you look closely you can see that the right hand window has 4 panes and the left window has 8 (Not including the diagonal side panes). So it's 100% accurate with the LEGO set. https://ibb.co/GTQvdXF The next thing is that i've seen it mentioned a few times on here that there is a "door" next to QQS and that LEGO decided to make it the Daily Prophet. It is in FACT the Daily Prophet. I noticed in the quick scene between Gringotts and Olivanders it actually shows the sign above the door clearly stating it to be the Daily Prophet which the first picture shows. The second picture shows 2 seconds later where it has scrolled further down the building clearly showing the same sign that is above QQS. https://ibb.co/d4d12vw https://ibb.co/sJjN7ys Hope this gives some clarification.
