    That’s something I’ve noticed as well, it looks a lot better straight on rather than the overhead shots we’ve been getting. I mean ideally a set should look recognisable from any angle but nonetheless it’s an improvement. I also like fact the you can remove the Carbonite Chamber and Landing Pad, the freezing chamber definitely needed its own section so that’s going to make modding the set a lot easier. Removing the chamber also helps isolate the walkway, which again is what it needed.

    Having just finished the London Bus, I really want to see the Knight Bus come back. A system scale one preferably but they could pull off a Creator scale one if they wanted too. I’d also like to see more of the system scale Hogwarts Castle, the Clock tower, Dumbledore’s office, a DADA classroom and some kind of room of requirement.

    My WHsmiths were doing an offer on the both Batman CMF series, buy one get one free, sadly the deal didn't apply to the HP/FB minifigures as wallet later found out

    Great use of the old invisibility cloak , also liking the way you’ve done the Death Eaters.

    Bellatrix was a great figure, I think the only way they could improve her is using the new dress slope piece. If one is actually coming, then a Hagrid's Hut sounds great, it'll be good to have one finally based on the later films.

    I’d love to see some kind of airport, but how they would implement it into the street I don’t know. That said, I definitely be up for a museum, History on one floor, Science on the next. Maybe a gift shop as well.

    I actually quite like it, but it’s definitely doing too much for too little, the main landing pad should have been connected to an existing section rather than taking the place of one, and whilst I love the addition of the Cloud Car, I don’t think it needed its own landing pad. The Freezing Chamber also should have had its own section, I think the previous Chamber set had the right idea with the stairs, if you combine those with this one, you’ll have a solid piece. I don’t want to rag on too much though, at the end of the day we’ve got a Cloud City set and with some tinkering it could definitely work.

    Brought some CMF Harry Potter bags, managed to get Dumbledore, Cedric and Luna, still trying to find Graves!

    I actually like it, it reminds me of the one of the old Kenner Death Star playsets. Slave I looks a little odd from some angles, but I think it'll grow on me. Finally we have a proper circular carbonite freezing chamber, it's great they managed to include all the little details like the ugnaught room. I think with a little bit of modding you could create a decent shell from the exterior.

    Worth noting that Colin Creevey (assuming that's who the leaker was referring too) was not actually part of Dumbledore's army in the films, (which is what the sets are based off). Yet he is listed as one of the minifgures.

    The Diagon Alley from the background looks good, very modular buildings esque . Professor Lockhart makes his first appearance in DA, so maybe we might even see him here?

    Sam here! Excellent work on the galaxy map too.

    Really liking your photography and MOC skills I like the little details like Sirius Black's face in the orb and the opened money draws.

    They could’ve even added the troll from the dungeons, and that would’ve made more sense given the inclusion of Quirrell. Nonetheless, thanks for the excellent review VBBN , I like the set and what did surprise me was the size of the interior of the Great Hall, the initial pictures released earlier gave the impression it was somewhat cramped, but these photos show it to be more spacious. I feel like the tower, like @Graupensuppe said, could have benefited from the Headmaster’s Towers, so it would look a little more recognisable. And especially since they're one of the few elements of Hogwarts that remain the same throughout the films.

    The Set looks very good. Fan of nanofigures or not, you have to admire the detail that went into the rooms. They're a ton of rooms like the Chamber and the winged keys I never expected to see. The nanofigures don't look amazing, but for their scale they've been done well. I genuinely can't wait to see this in person.

    We know Newt is a lover of beasts, so maybe a creature close to him (or even his suitcase) was destroyed during a battle which led to him walking away. I really like the whole Wizard/muggle relationship plot something that was never really explored in the Potter films.

    It may only be 12 episodes, but I'm very happy by the news. It's good to see they've kept the same animation style as well. It's going to be interesting seeing the Anakin - Ahsoka reunion here, especially as we know how there fight in Rebels plays out. I'm curious to see what this means in terms of Lego. That 501st Battle pack doesn't seem so far away now

    I’m actually impressed they managed to fit so many of the gadgets in the set in the first place. I didn’t expect them to include all the gadgets let alone have them all work. But I think (and you see this a lot in Star Wars sets) it’s about the balance of play features and accuracy. At a £130 price point to have a completely accurate DB5 with all the working gadgets is incredibly hard if not impossible.

    Very nice work! I like the seating areas you've added, they blend in well with the towers, neat idea with attaching the trans long pieces to the tops of he towers to pose the figures

    Looks as though the roof can come off, I’m interested too see if the ejector seat will be able to actually eject and what other gadgets are working.
  21. Tariq j
    A truly fantastic line up. The Invisibility cloak looks amazing, looks like they've even got the patterns on the underneath so it can be double sided. And we also get a Barty Crouch Junior head and hairpiece.

    That's interesting, since those lines are from Goldfinger which would imply the upcoming set is the DB5, but the silhouette on the Creator page says otherwise, and hints towards a DBS/DB10. Having a DB5 in Creator scale would be good as it would allow all the various functions to be included and work.
  23. Tariq j
    Definitely seems to be one of the two, it could even be the DBS from Casino Royale. The DB10 would make the most sense since I guess it’s the most recent iteration, but either one would do. It’d good they’ve gone for the creator scale since if they do move round to doing the DB5 they’ll be ab,e to include all the various functions and gadgets, something a minifigure scale car might not have been able to do. Maybe they might include a minifigure on a stand, like they did with the Tumbler. The DB10 had an ejector seat, so I guess as well that makes it unique to Bond.

    Excellent build! The photography and use of forced perspective here is brilliant , and I love that shot of the Death Star from the inside of the shuttle - just like in the films.

    Excellent list! James Bond has (sort of) been confirmed to have at least one Aston Martin set. So I guess that could fall under corporate brands too. But no pictures have yet been released.
