I’ve been following the discussion and finally signed up to join the conversation...Hopefully we get an announcement with set names soon. I’m hoping sets this year cover films 3-7 since we are now beyond their original 3 year plan. My preditctions are heavily based on what I’m hoping for, so if we get a few of these, I’ll be happy.The piece count to price ratio of several sets suggests a molded piece, but I don’t think there would be that many. Ten points to inflation.
- 76400 $19.99 121 pcs.
Bill/Fleur Wedding with Bill, Fleur, Xenophilius Lovegood and a Patronus.
- 76401 $49.99 345 pcs.
Second Task Remake perhaps with all the ‘hostages’ and merpeople
- 76402 $79.99 654 pcs.
A Fantastics Beasts Hogwarts set
- 76403 $99.99 990 pcs.
Grimmauld Place with order members, Kreacher and the Horcrux Locket
- 76404 $44.99 344 pcs.
Rumored to be Advent Calendar. I think so, and hope it will be Weasley’s Christmas themed at Grimmauld Place (unless they do a Grimmauld Place Playset)
- 76405 $469.99 D2C
I’ve thought about this a lot and my best guess is a large, motorized Hogwarts Express with each car a scene from a different movie and the platform being the last scene with heirs and older versions. Of course, I’m not ruling out a Sorting hat and Nimbus 2000 icon set.
I can’t see myself paying $500+ after taxes on a set, but maybe they will change my mind?
- 76406 $49.99 671 pcs. Buildable Creature
I really hope to get a Niffler surrounded by gold. It seems to be a popular opinion/guess and I think it would sell well to all ages.
- 76407 $89.99 777 pcs. Playset
Ministry of Magic including Department of Mysteries and Dumbledore/Dark Lord battle.
-76408 $119.99 Playset
Shrieking Shack and Zonko’s with the Marauders, Snape and trio
I also hope we get a Minifigure 4 pack this year. I haven’t heard anything so far, but I would love the Hogwarts ghosts pack (all glow in the dark). They could include Peeves instead of Nick since he is in the CoS set.
Cheers
