  1. Please tell me it's a doe and a stag with an "Always" sign.
  2. I'm very surprised we didn't get a new Hagrid's Hut this summer. I hope we see one in March 2024 with a new Fang and Hagrid without his overcoat.
  3. I cannot wait to see pictures of this wave because, as of right now, it seems extremely messy. I'm not going to try and speculate any more until we've seen them. Pictures were unveiled last year on Friday, April 8th to coincide with The Secrets of Dumbledore (I will never forget the excitement of seeing the commercial for Dumbledore's Office in the cinema!) so perhaps we can expect them sometime in the next 2-3 weeks.
  4. I ordered all three sets from the Lego website to get my points and free gifts. The two smaller sets are on back order until 12th/13th. I wish I had ordered them when they were in stock, but I was planning to wait for a discount, but I don't want to miss out on them and, with this shambolic release, I wouldn't put it past Lego to pull them. I really hope we get more sets in the future but I'm not holding my breath so we'll just see what happens.
  5. If they do a second WWW and miss out Pygym Puffs AGAIN I'll protest.
  6. I've lost track of the hinted-at/leaked sets. So we know for sure: Gringotts D2C Miscroscale Hogwarts 2.0 D2C Quidditch Trunk The Battle of Hogwarts Expecto Patronum(!) Dobby So in the hinted-at sets, are we getting: Forbidden Forest(?) Diagon Alley Shop Hogwarts Express (The Third) bRICKbRAT seemed to hint at a Forbidden Forest, or is that part of one of the sets we know about or an additional set?
  7. OMG if this is all true, this wave sounds a mess... Please tell me we'll get a Pygmy Puff and a proper Lavender Brown in either of these sets, though.
  8. What a truly disappointing shambles. I remember how excited I was last summer learning new Indiana Jones sets were coming. An almost year of building excitement to lead to this. If Lego didn't make Harry Potter I'd be tempted to step back from financially supporting them for some time.
  9. This situation is giving me headache.
  10. Oh my goodness, have you guys seen the rumour that there's a new Lego HP video game in the works? Is this true @Falconfan1414?
  11. Well, I got around to building all of the March sets and I really love them. As others have said, the second task is a real standout - it just looks and feels like a great set. :)
  12. I hope we hear something soon, I am checking this forum religiously. I'll try to reserve my judgement until the full picture becomes clear, but right now my opinion of Lego is not great.
  13. Lovely photo @BacktoBricks and I'm glad you got your set on release day. After work I'm going to build that set, too (I already had a sneak peak at the Grindylow and they've made an evil looking creature so cute). I had a gift card for another shop and I got the Slytherin banner from there, so when I went to the Lego store and bought the rest of the March wave the woman asked if I wasn't a Slytherin fan hehe. Truthfully I'm not but I wouldn't miss out on one. I've only built the Gryffindor one so far and I'm sooo happy to finally get another Gryffindor common room after 22 years! The moving insert if giving me nostalgia for those sets with the cardboard backdrops (which luckily I kept from childhood). It makes me happy to finally have Angelina, The Grey Lady, Pansy, Blaise and a PROPER KRUM! I'm now even more excited to see what the rest of 2023 has in store for us... I also got the DOTs because I had a 10% off code for a website but they haven't been dispatched yet.
  14. What do you mean, do you know something we don't know? Have I missed something? I thought there was only the rumour of the one vault GWP to go alonside Gringotts?
  15. Very disgusted to hear these rumors. I'll be looking to see how this plays out.
  16. The Ministry of Magic is one of my favourite Lego sets - it was a fantastic build, the minifigures are exceptional, it has lots of nice nods to the books and movies, it represents a scene and movie never explored before; and it makes a great display piece. Everyone has different opinions and experiences. I like the new polybag but I'm irritated that there isn't a cape (and what's with the blue legs?) and I have NEVER seen a HP polybag for sale in the UK yet - the only way I was able to get the previous ones was as a free gift from the Lego Store. Perhaps this will make it easier to buy the torso on Bricklink, though. Not long to go for the March wave! I'm excited.
  17. Oh wow, thanks for pointing that out. I just thought that because they had disappeared from Lego Shop there was a chance they might not see the light of day. I'm glad to know they're still coming!
  18. Nice to hear about Tonks - such an underrated character. I wonder if HP DOTs are still coming out or not. Only one week to wait and find out!
  19. Oh. My. Goodness. How anyone can look at that LOTR set and not want a D2C minifig scale Hogwarts is beyond me.
  20. Me too. I'm driving myself nuts counting down until midnight. It's wonderful to see the creators love and respect the world JK created 25 years ago, being fans of the books. It's an amazing time to be a HP fan. Please keep this energy, you two. I am desperate for a D2C minifig scale Hogwarts. Thank you for this amazing work. But where is my beloved Fang on the popular list?
  21. Wow so I could get the whole April wave (minus the Diorama) for less than £150 going on these leaked prices.
  22. @Clone OPatra Do you know if it's normal for sets to disappear on Shop at Home sometimes before release? This has happened with DOTs HP.
  23. Perhaps it's the bridge.
  24. OK thank you, professor Trelawney.
