Thanks everyone for your replies in regards to BAM. It's what I kind of figured, but nice to know for sure. So disappointing when you live nowhere near a LEGO store (I know many of you are in the same boat of course). Just discovered they had pink elves last year. My wife would have loved some of them for her winter village. But unfortunately doesn't look like that's going to happen.

I have the same problem. Really annoying as they cost a fortune to buy replacements for. Obviously haven't had the newer ones for long enough to tell the longevity of them, but one thing I have learned very quickly is the new stickers are terrible on curved pieces. Both my Harry Potter Astronomy Tower and Batman Truck (whatever it was called) Both had stickers on a "Tan Slope, Curved 2 x 4 Double" And within days, both of them have the stickers hanging off as straight as they originally came. Not impressed with new stickers in that regards. May not flake, but don't stick too well either.

Quick question (probably been answered a million times in the past), but do Build A Minifigure parts generally come on Bricks and Pieces?

Only things I could possibly expect to see are the remaining tasks from the first movie in the new style. The Chamber of Winged Keys & The Final Challenge. They would both be remakes and finish what was started this year. The hospital in January seems to be completing the COS portion of this years sets. After all we got 3 bassilisk victims this year. Hermione, Justin and Colin. And now we are getting a 3 bed hospital wing which accommodates each. I keep wondering if the troll could get remade, but not sure how they'd do it. As I don't think LEGO would have 2 toilet sets at the same time.

I know! Its just worrying. Peoples predictions got me so excited this year, then the reveals were worse, and in hand worse again. Figures were great, but every set other than Hogsmeade got taken apart.I kind of liked the inside of Hogwarts Castle, but it was just not something nice to display. Just a long thin line that looked terrible alongside everything else I have on display. Hope things pick up this year, but we shall wait and see. I will admit though, Madame Pomfrey is a step in the right direction. If we get Rita Skeeter, I will be very satisfied.

Feels like nobody learnt anything from this year. The wish list have already started with very desirable sets. The speculations are way too good. Think we should tone down the expectations, instead of preparing our disappointment a year in advance. Lol.

I had Mighty Max sets which were for boys and were awesome. So the appeal for that sort of thing was there for boys too. There were also micro machine playsets and ninja turtle playsets all in similiar style. I think boys actually had more of these things in the 90s than girls. I would have loved moments sets as a child ( not so much now).

As much as I don't love the anniversary wave, I would be happy if it were a few extensions to it to make it feel a little more complete. Especially the remaining tasks from Philosophers (Sorcerer's) Stone. I would greatly prefer these to more moments sets personally.

Guess i'll have something to look forward to in the morning. Not waiting up until 2am. Lol. Fingers crossed its good news.

Probably not. You can buy them on Bricklink, but they are very expensive. Normally like 50% of the set cost. I got the last Baryonyx that came out. Its enough for me. Bit too much money to spend on obtaining a different colour dinosaur when i dont want the set. Just got the 4+ set. Its pretty rubbish, but my son loves it and i got the people i needed. So i guess its a win! 😁

I got the same ones as you, but not allowed to open them til fathers day tomorrow. Kmart kept saying online tgat the sets are online only, but i found them in store when buying my son some track suit pants. Also like you might go and get the juniors set if they have it today, but might go halves with my 4 year old! 😀 Then just going to have to wait for Yasmin to show up on Bricklink. My major problem with the Baryonyx set is there is nothing to build. Its 90% a solid boat toy with a couple of bits of LEGO attached. Trying to downsize my LEGO purchases a bit, and that boat is just a definite no. Managed to find a copy of the bootleg figure (some anime character) with Nya's hair from ninjago in Brooklynn's pink. Cant wait to try it on her. I think it will be perfect.

I'm quite surprised by how positive people are about this year advent calendar. I'm not going to be negative or anything, but it was actually the first one I was strongly considering skipping. There's only one real new minifigure of any interest and I thought all the builds were pretty much useless. Very happy for you all that love it. Just really, really surprised!

What did it end up costing you for the lot?

Thanks to Micmac helping me with trading, we both completed our sets with a couple of dollars of postage stamps. Thats one of the ones I had to trade for! No wonder he was so ellusive! You have them all!

Wouldn't be head over heels for it personally. Don't have the same attachment to those movies for the exact reason you stated. Also not a huge fan of brick built creatures which is become quite prominent in the current line up. In saying that though I would 100% be more interested in your suggestion than that thing they are putting out this year. I did really like the Newts suitcase part of the set, so i'd be more interested in the build moreso than the creatures.

Wizarding World Accessory Pack is finally available in Australia if any Aussies were wanting to know.

Great... Wizarding World Accessory Pack is apparently retiring at the end of the year and it still hasn't been released here yet!

Are there many other countries other than Australia that are still waiting for the Wizarding World Minifigure Accessory Set to come available?

Hypothetically if the Harry Potter line was ending and there was to be ONE more set to be produced, what would you want it to be? It can be big, small, accessory pack or D2C, but the minifigures have to be relevant to the scene. So getting a set you might like, could mean you miss out on figures you want for example. I think I would have to stick with Gringotts myself as my street does not feel complete. But Its hard not to imagine a 2nd Task D2C and all the exclusive minifigures that could come in that.

I reckon if or whenever the do it, they'll just keep it modular so it can sit alone, or connect to anything else modular. Between the Modulars, Ninjago City, Diagon Alley and now the Marvel Daily Bugle every single set stands alone, can connect to each other across themes and all (except Diagon Alley & Daily Bugle so far) have sets that have come and gone before and are no longer available on the shelf. As long as they keep it modular it works on its own it is compatible with the current style and can connect to anything else modular available past, present or future. Basically if it's done within the modular scale it can come out anytime and it will fit regardless of what is on the shelf.

I was going to be lazy as I didn't want to get off my megablocks right now, but I decided to anyways. Lol. As I said, it's just been sitting there completely random, so not really posed or anything, but gives you an idea: https://ibb.co/85cHJtF https://ibb.co/8KRF6Jr Just realised there is a limo dumped on the next roof over too! I've been making some changes!

It's just kind of randomly sitting there, but we have my wife's LEGO Smaug sitting on top of of Weasley Wizard Wheezes and I can say that scale wise, it looks pretty good. I can take a picture tomorrow if you'd like to see. But just wanted to let you know if it's a similiar scale it would look pretty good.

Are you being serious or sarcastic? Just from what I've learnt of you on the forum, I thought you would have hated the current D2C! Lol. I'm genuinely surprised that you like it! I suppose it wouldn't really need to come with spectators as it's not as if it couldn't be populated with figures from elsewhere. I suppose one of the easiest ways to sell a set such as this with a limited selection of characters could be something like "Gryffindor Quidditch Training". Could either just be the complete Gryffindor team or something like when Ron and others were trying out for the Quidditch team. Could include Cormac McClaggen and a few other applicants. If something like this happened though it would have to be followed closely by the much desired quidditch accessory pack. As for scale and build, not really my cup of tea. But i'm sure given that most sets aren't true minifigure scale anyway, there's a way that someone with much more talent than I could make it work. Just to be clear, this is not a set i'm hanging out for. I'm sure i'd enjoy it, I just originally suggested it as something I could see happening as a D2C. Besides we know from this year LEGO likes making giant D2C versions of previous sets!

It's interesting, because last year when we were having a discussion on what potential sets could be made into a D2C set, I suggested a D2C Quidditch set and everyone seemed to think it was a terrible/boring idea. Not sure if people have changed their minds or that it just seems much more desirable than the awful D2C set that is coming out this year?

I was thinking the exact same thing. The way it is designed is identical to the other 2021 sets. Don't honestly know how there is any confusion.
