Love seeing Nexo Knights discussion. I army build nexo knights and always happy to see some other people doing that too. We are in a timeline when it's super easy to do that. -

those prints are amazing and will be used in so many mocs and i'm so glad to get that Lochart torso. Feels good to be a lego harry potter fan these days. -

Thanks for reaching out and for the information! Seems that we will be more mixed/chaotic sets release. (set from the next year connects to the late year set, and etc.) I wonder how many greenhouses we'll get in that part of Herbology. But we won't know for a while -

The flying lesson set is from another part of Hogwarts. Judging by big sets appearances (from left (The great Hall) to right) - the set with Flying Lesson connection should appear at the very end of this line with this huge open space part: -> The Picture (i saw it on reddit somewhere and saved. can't find the original post) It's reasonable that flying lesson part is somewhere away with lots of space to fly around. So it's not that close to The Great Hall. -

So glad I jumped on the "most detailed castle" train at the moment when he had just started the procession. There was always something holding me back from joining this line in the past (parents didn't buy the big set and then university takes too much time to care), but now that it's in full swing with all these giant sets and additional modular "classes", new versions, it's time to enjoy this franchise in a lego version. If the first year we had an expensive Hogwarts set with the iconic monster of the first film, then it makes sense that the Tower should come with a Basilisk? But the tower itself is incredibly huge (it's supposedly the largest/tallest building in Hogwarts?)... The main question - will there be enough space and (more important) budget for a new Chamber of Secrets and a new "monster mold"? (and then again-the C.o.S. located close to the Great Hall, not the tower...) The new Fluffy and Basilisk are my main interests at this point. They made the new Troll, the new Aragog... it's logical that they will do the doggie and a snek. -
LEGO Collectable Minifigures Future Series Rumours
VinnieCannoli replied to r4-g9's topic in Special LEGO Themes
is there at least 1 reason why it will? It's not only super forgotten-it's also kinda controversal (it was basically South Park for smaller kids). Why would Lego ever touch this tv-show. If they will they might as well do Ren and Stimpy minifigure series haha -

I love those cupid wings. Makes it look like it can be used for "younger" bird people from DnD minifigures or legends of Chima. -
LEGO Collectable Minifigures Future Series Rumours
VinnieCannoli replied to r4-g9's topic in Special LEGO Themes
I would go bonkers if there will be The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy CMF series. That's not going to happen but it's fun to think about it. -
My very first set was 1749 Aquanauts Paravane. My grandmother bought it and I was absolutely amazed by it. The figure was so tiny yet very articulated (if you remember the 90s it was rare to get articulated figures of that small size). Also it had chrome knives which blew my mind. I remember trying to build all kinds of stuff using just these available 16 pieces. Then i got the Aquasharks submarine and I never was the same after that. (I was trying hard to build the walking shark robot using just these 2 sets haha)

Both looks great. I will totally buy that baby T-rex to MOC her into an animal from my fantasy tribe that uses dinosaurs as pets/rides/units! -
LEGO Collectable Minifigures Series 27. Rumors and discussion
VinnieCannoli replied to Robert8's topic in Special LEGO Themes
Knowing the "female version" Lego CMF trope - it will probably be the same figure but with eyelash and lipstick/pink stuff. I hope we will never see that with this one. Bogeyman is a folklore creature. It's a single charater that represents an ancient fear of seeing a dangerous "unknown man" hiding in your house. -
Still patiently waiting for the "huge villain set'. Personally I like this Cyberpunk Spartan Netrunner Epic###2077Hacker more than the witch of the second season (that doesnt mean anything - all villains from Dreamzzz were fantastic and cool). That distorted stereo-effect on another new character is also amazing. Huge dreamzzz sets always look great and wild (Shark Ship, giant Crow, Junkyard T-rex, giant Zblob mech - all of these provoked the imagination and brought something fresh in the form of original Lego themes). What are those brains? Will we get some build based on that? PS: The tiger mech looks very similar to what Monkey Kid or Ninjago would do... In fact...if i didn't know anything about Dreamzzz i would think this is some new Monkey Kid Mech. But still it's good it's not something like Panda mech. The little bunny looks even worse than that other new bunny that got leaked (and in Italy the first bunny is still on shelves on sale all the time - it's the last 1st wave set that struggling with being bought out here).

Strange to see that people are upset about this new detailed Hogwarts as an idea. I personally think it's amazing. Honestly it's one of my main Lego-interests at this point. Veeery curious to see the finished hogwarts. I see it as an openworld game with a ton of unlockable characters but on my table. I've been seeing Harry Potter lego sets since the very first wave but never tried to get into the theme despite being a movie and books fan. But I always dreamed about a very big doll house-like Hogwarts with an insane amount of characters and sets coming with it. I know we got "modular hogwarts" already but...I honestly think that lego used those previous waves as a training ground to experiment with an idea of a modular Hogwarts and decided to go big this time after seeing what they can do. With these newest waves we get: - 1 huge part of Hogwarts for each year (the main "dollhouse" part). And if you complain about it being expensive - I bought The Great Hall on amazon for 140 euros. Just wait. Don't fomo. It's your fault if you get it for 200 eur and feel bad about that - literally every lego set hits an affordable price point on Amazon. Aragog was 14 eur. Ford Anglia was 10 eur and Boathouse hit 27 eur eventually. (i mean...if you complaining about this thing being too expensive. Because after reading lego-reddit i sometimes think that every Lego collector other than me is a billionaire ) - Smaller "support" buildings just to enrich the playset (owlery, flying lessons, etc.) and add more minifigures. - Even smaller and cheaper sets that work as pieces and characters/props packs. You are doing it wrong complaining about 1 set of this wave thinking that Transfiguration Class is too simplostic. It's just 1 small piece of a bigger picture. I'm sure it will be amazing in the end after ~3 years of these waves. At this point we have just The Great Hall. I would not recomment counting other cheaper/smaller sets of this wave as something worth being judged without seeing the next "main building. Also didn't we get a bigger transfiguration class not so long ago? (76382). Just buy that one if you want it as a playset. This one is a small room in a bigger building (like a beehive with swappable honeycombs, haha). It supposed to be unfold to play with it on a table and then slide it back when you done with it. Sets like Christmas Calendar supposed to work as item packs that give you some stuff to play with (fireplace, additional tables, etc). PPS: I absolutely dislike "afol" sets. I'm so happy these "detailed hogwarts" sets look like they were meant for kids or people that like to have fun with lego, but at the same time they all are a part of a much more expensive (imagine how all that stuff will cost together as a collection after 3 years of waves?) and detailed building. It's an interesting mix of "fun" and "afol". PPPS:What i would be complaining about if i was an "afol" - the Malfoy Manor. Why is it so simplistic? It's just a facade, there is no room for anything. And it has a ___toilet room___ that could be used for something much better that represents parts of a Malfoy Manor (honestly! That toilet room bothers me and makes me associate the Malfoy Manor with Hidden Side...I feel like toilet ghosts can be seen coming out of it at any moment!). Yet many afols went nuts and excited over that set... Personally to me Malfoy Manor is the second disappointment after that weird Hagrid on a Motorbike from revealed sets. -

I didnt vote for Ptero but ptero is a must have for me. T-rex/Ptero/Triceratops costumes is such a blessing from lego. Perfect for jp/jw fans. It can be used as dino park mascots too I think they will stay. Kinder Surprise also has codes now. (not scannable but there are codes at the bottom of each egg). Maybe it's european thing against gambling or something like that. -

I'm dying to know what the next section of detailed Hogwarts will look like. If we got the new Troll this year, the year 2025 should bring us the Chamber of Secrets with the new version of Basilisk (there is a Gilderoy Lokhart figure even - everything hints on that). And the next section (I assume) is that huge tall tower with Dumbledore's office? It will probably be more expensive than The Great Hall. And...I guess it will have some space for Dueling and Leviosaa sets. PS: sorry i mean Leviosa. Not leviosaa. Duh. -
Despite being disappointed with what was released (that new bunny and zblob car stuff), i have high hopes for big sets of "gaming arc". Game Island Tower sounds very promising. I remember liking the gaming themed sets from Ninjago - hope Dreamzzz will portray such theme with interesting pieces and ideas. Cooper's Tiger mech is 50/50. It can be either absolutely amazing fun set or...another Panda mech curse. Fire Chameleon sounds cool.

It seems that the Charms Class is smaller than Potions set to fit in "the great hall" and stay secured. And just like Potions set was meant to be put inside The Great Hall in 2024, I think the charms class will be released for the 2025 Hogwarts part. (which one is the next? The tower?) -

Both-dueling club and leviosa set are great. I personally prefer rubber capes. I remember having problems with cloth capes all these years - from Basil the Batlord that had his cape absolutely destroyed over years of play to Chima and other modern stuff when you just afraid to touch it because you don't want to ruin it. I really like fireplace from Charms Class. Might get two of thesesets for mocs and to expand the classroom. I don't think that this specific rubber will melt. It feels almost like plastic judging by Dr.Strange cape that i use a lot for red wizards in fantasy mocs. Those tend to last. -

Hagrid's bike is the biggest troll... This is the first time ever i hate a Harry Potter set. I never ever ever disliked a hp-set. I even own 2 fluffy builds (got them separated) despite it having flaws. But this one... Oh my god. Why.. I legit imagined lego making a new Hagrid figure print with him having driving googles and other stuff (+ squished birthday cake round plate print/sticker as a little bonus maybe). And how fun it could be to display this Hagrid flying over current "most detailed Hogwarts" castle wave. I guess not People preferred an actual set with minifigures and minifigure scale Hagrid's bike. Adding such minifigure-scale set during current wave when they did Aragog, Ford Anglia, Owlery and other memorable stuff was the most logical expectation. -

If by numbers-i have no idea. If just "how" - i'm 200% sure it's selling amazing. The only time I saw these things in real life was when I went to the Lego Store... anywhere I tried to find them - only empty cases. I got lucky with the first 3 early amazon purchases and thankfully got more than i will ever want + duplicates. I wish there was more but i'm afraid that lego won't do anything with it despite it's basically free money. But i will be glad to be wrong. -

Yeah... I'm focusing on it and it right now and helps to limit my HP-spendings a lot. I will need to prepare some space for it but i will be glad to "own" a complete collection regardless. With such stuff from Lego - it's better to buy now and think about space later, otherwise you will pay double or more for it in the future (i managed to get The Great Hall for 140 and i assume that every part of that castle will be sold for much less than retail during Amazon sales. So at the end of it you will get a very economical collection, which in the future (at post-retirement prices) would have cost much more). Mind Games - lego style -

VinnieCannoli replied to Clone OPatra's topic in LEGO Licensed
Im kinda happy "it's just a facade" (naive me was seeing something similar to 10229 because The Burrow and Gringotts were complete building sets) - we have so many HP-sets and with that "the most detailed Hogwarts" being in the process (at the end of this line we gonna have an insane amount of sets, i'm not sure how people manage to buy everything and have space to display it), i'm glad i will save up some space. It's funny that we're at that point where you're glad you won't buy another set. If i understand europan Amazon correctly, you will be able to get Malfoy Manor for around ~120eur eventually. -
That honestly was a bit disappointing to see... One of the sets looks exactly like Monkey Kid set (a yellow and red flying thing with a ribbed yellow plate on top and two large turbines on the sides - this is Monkey Kid's design technique). The bunny set is the 1st season set but worse (less colorful smaller and more boring, and that first season set is still on shelves)... The giant yellow car is just ...ugh...how do i explain that. Remember those last sets of Nexo Knights? The 70355 set when suddenly there is a giant green car out of nowhere. It frustrated me so much I lost all interest in Nexo Knights for a while (until they made those vampires but it was too late because the line was cancelled). It's exactly the same situation. Only this one giant green car looks worse, but i understand that it's a Z-blob and it has to be this color (yet the giant Zblob mech set looked amazing compared to this) Let's wait for the "big sets". I wonder what kind of stuff the villains will have. I really like their pink+white colors and brain+tentacles theme. There is also a roman helmet but in techno-style. One of the best 2024 sets for me were some of dreamzzz sets and i hope these 3 are not what represent the whole line and there is a better stuff to come.
