Hey guys! First time posting. Just recently got into Lego's again, haven't bought a set since around 2005 (gonna grab the Tree House as soon as Lego stores open up again). Just wanted to join in and express my excitement for the new Diagon Alley! I was getting into the whole modular building idea, and with my love for Harry Potter, and the lack of room for the microscale Hogwarts, I thought this new DA set would be a perfect solution!
I haven't been following Lego too much, so I'm not sure how consistent the $/piece ratio is, but based on Hogwarts, can we expect this set to be around 6,000 pieces? I'm assuming the set will be more similar to, say, 3 modular buildings connected to each other rather than an actual alley? As cool as making an enclosed street would be, it doesn't make for a very nice model to look at.
Hope we hear more soon!
