Yeah, wasn´t talking about pics either. ;) But no matter which info, the thing with leaks always is you don´t know when you get them. I mean for Star Wars those kind of information are out already, for City we only have some numbers and that they are suppsosed to be F1.

Well they have a big basis of sets where they can rely on whether that would sell or not I guess. For me it is still a strange choice however, and I sure would rather have one for the themes you mentioned. In the end, it doesn´t bother me though, since I am just going to save money.

This exactly. Based on last years, I would say 40€ for the Polybag and 130€ for the Floo Network GWP. Of course they could aswell go higher, but given that HP is still a kids-aimed theme and they usually have lower tresholds, I would guess the chances that it stays like this aren´t that bad.

Hard to say. It is quite some time till January but kinda seems leaks show up sooner and sooner. Could be this month, could aswell be that nothing shows up for the next three months. Though if I would have to guess, It seems more likely that we don´t make three months without more info.

I would guess for something similar to the may the fourth Medal, with the movable X-Wing, just with movable hands instead. A brickbuilt version would be kinda cooler of course, but I don´t see how they would do the hands there since it would add to much if they would do it with Lego pieces - I doubt they would make a special family mould like for the Rivendell Weapons for a GWP so a foil would probably be the only way to go with it then.

Well we had it that way the last years, but I don´t think that is actually a rule. However since the first Sets will release in January, I don´t think the CMF will be released alongside them, so the same time slot like the Space series probably would make the most sense. Anyways, so far we have no info about the next CMF series (unless it will be indeed the F1 one ofc) but I would expect first leaks about it to show up within this or next month.

BDP is their event so they can make the rules of what they want to be and what not - and telling it upfront is basically much more fair than just not accepting them. That beeing said, Icons is their IP, but they do nowhere claim that they would be the only ones that are allowed to do Modulars - but they set certain rules for the BDP that make sure that the IPs they are currently using won´t be used for the BDP and that Modulars that are beeing made look different from the system how Lego does them. The rules especially say that if a building looks similar to their Modulars Design Language, they have to use a different base technique - but it nowhere says that Modulars wouldn´t be allowed at all. Well they basically don´t want to have stuff in the BDP that they are already selling themselves - and very likely, since they are no direct lego product also want to make sure that they don´t look like they would belong to an existing series, which the modulars are.

There have been sets that have been officially revealed quite short before their release lately, that beeing said, I would guess we will have the reveal either next week, or even just the one after - as they would likely promote their Back to Hogwarts event in Advance I wouldn´t think it would be any later than that.

Honestly, on 15% off Lego is just the better deal with GWP and Insiders Points. That the GWP we have now was sold out pretty quick last time and as such seems to have a high demand surely helps.

It is basically about everything about the 2025 City Wave, not just about leaks. Well and people will only talk more about leaks when we have some more information about what is to come.

I wouldn´t put to much thought on the time gap between the other two Sets. If they choose to make another one, and at this point I would take it at almost granted they will do so, they will just put it up for next year, with the month decided by many factors. Same as waves of themes don´t have fixed release dates, and change from year to year. That beeing said, they could aswell go back to releasing it sooner again.

I don´t think that other sections will be any different from the ones we had in the great hall to add the modules there. A different size won´t make sense since we already have two different ones and if they would make more now, that would kinda work against the idea of making them switchable at all. Aside from that, we don´t really know if charms class will even be a Module, it could aswell be a part of the castle and the class is made like the great hall - though something like potions would make more sense given the place needed for it and the fact that the great hall itself is already quite small there won´t be more space in other parts of the castle. But in the end I don´t really know how they would fit any of those Modules in any tower without having it look out of scale, if I look at the great hall I don´t think the towers will fit much inside, really.

I would expect the bike and a little sidebuild, like a lantern and a road sign of privet drive. The set will have 617 pieces for 50$, while Potions class was 397 for 40$, so no idea where you see inflation here, without even seeing it first. Given the price and piece count (and given it is actually the charms class) I could see this beeing not just a module but also a part of the castle included here. It probably depends on what else will be included, since at this price point it will be a part of the castle too and I would think that this won´t be emtpy.

Well he stated that he saw several sources stating different things. The first info we had for instance had 76443 as the Motorcycle, which is the Set with the 50$ price. However since Jedijac stated he saw the motorcycle and charms class swappen on a different source, we can´t really say which one is true - I don´t really see them doing a 20$ Charms class if we keep the price of potions class in mind.

Well that isn´t going to happen, since that knight is an actual already existing Minifigure from CMF Series 9 - they seem to like that one though, since that isn´t the first time they used it for something like that - so there might be the chance that they would redo him, if they ever choose to make a collection of past CMF figures again.

Strange choice, with Hogwarts that made totally sense, but not sure how good that will work and especially how much people are looking for a DA version. Most surprising of that list is definitely the flying lesson, which would speak for it to include a bigger part of the castle than expected. Since it is only named flying lesson, I do wonder, if there is anything included aside form a castle part and if they would actually have empty space in there to fit other modules inside. Happy to get the Manor at a decent price without it getting to expensive. At least I don´t need to worry that is looks as bad as the Ministry now.

Knowing Lego, that probably doesn´t have to mean anything - or could aswell just have been teasing towards the D&D CMF series - though I would actually more lean to the first option.

Well the main reason would be, that it should be displayable next to the other Sets. Grimmauld place itself isn´t that big and was "just" a 130€ Set. I would expect them to do two floors for the manor, with a third for the towers, just one floor would probably make it look to small - and as the manor is a building that is wider than high, I would expect a certain overall size for it - though of course you never know what they will do with it, also possible they cut it to one floor or make the width a lot smaller. Will be some time till we see that, though I guess price and piece count could give us a first impression on what we will get sooner than that.

Well if we were just told we would get the Manor, my guesses would have been that it either takes the Burrows or the Durmstrang ships place for next year. So yeah, kinda strange choice, but I wouldnt rule out that they do a bigger Set in the January wave either. This year we also got the Sorting Hat, which was 99,99€ and I don´t see a reason why they couldn´t go beyond that. In the end we will get three hogwarts modules and neither of them is really crying to get an actual part of the castle. So really curious about their prices/piece counts.

We got gold, green, red and blue so far - I also got one red one but sadly no blue one, which is the most expensive now, even more than the green one exclusive to the D&D Set.

I do agree with the rest of your post but the dragon head isn´t a new mould but the same they made for vidiyo - which got pretty expensive since D&D came out.

Maybe it will be more like a parts pack, including minifigures a long table and some decoration so you take some of the stuff included in the Great Hall out and then put that stuff in. Maybe a plate and a wall to display it without the great hall. They could aswell just make it another module but I just don´t see why they would make so many modules when we have no places to put them. I would expect flying lessons to be the least expensive of the Hogwarts Sets, unless Duelling Club is really just meant to include in the existing hall. But in the end we don´t know how they will do the lessons either, could aswell just be some minifigures on grass, or include a part of a building to make them able to fly. Though not sure how that would fit into the new system then, Privet Drive is a House and the Manor is much bigger - sure they won´t make them in scale to each other but it would be strange to me if they would really fit it into a set that isn´t even 100€ - which would probably end up beeing as "good" as the Ministry of Magic Set. It wouldn´t surprise me if they would do the cauldron within this wave, but as you said, unlikely it would be in this set since it mentions shops and the cauldron isn´t one. Also would expect it to be named as such and a sole build.

Lol you even asked what I meant with beeing not true, and I explained it to you. Well to be honest, when I read my original answer I would get that impression to, since I am missing the word lately there, my bad.

I don´t know, the name sounds more to me like they want to make sure that people know Harry is included which would make me think it will be the Baby Harry version - sure it would basically also fit the 7 Potter one, since you won´t see that it is Harry, but if they would make a Set of that Scene I would think they would include at least a Deatheater that is chasing them and give the Set a name that sounds better/ includes more action.

That we are getting two licensed Series each year lately. We had that happening, but it is just not true that it happens every year now. I mean, this year we had two unlicensed so far, and with DnD will only get one licensed for example. Last year it was 2 licensed and one unlicensed but 2022 is was 2 unlicensed again with only one licensed.
