Well when it comes to army building a 15 dollar set is one of the best scenarios to get a dementor! A CMF dementor would be better, but mostly likely never happening since we already got one.. A very easy available polybag would be better also, but other than that a small sett is best.. A big 100$ set even with 2 dementors is not very good in a army builder perspective Hopefully the parts will show up in B&P for a OK price I think the dementor is a very good bad guy (pun intended), and probably cheap to make so I guess we will see them in future Lego products as well

What about: The Pirate Bay SpaceX BFR / Starship & Super Heavy 1:110 Scale Museu Nacional - Rio de Janeiro Kakapo The Office - NBC Anatomini

I assume the budget was used up again, since they made a new "cat" in the next series they could easily given him a new mould also if the money was there

We have not forgot, but it is just a few bricks added for play-value for kids in an otherwise excellent set.. I am sure we will get a much better one in a future COS set so it will probably end up being a parentheses in the Lego HP history

I though he was working full time on HP/FB sets

Probably because some of them are kids that have lied on there age to get a account I am no stranger to complain myself, but the WW sets we got last year was amazing and judging from the leaks so far this years sets will be at least the same fabulous quality if not even better The theme is definitely some of Lego's fines work now, and we get a lot more for our money compared to most other sets especially licensed ones

Not a single animal except 3 rubber ducks as far as I can see

How many boxes for HP? The limited sets are never in the catalogues so they are in addition to the ones there

7 small coral reef animals have leaked, looks like something like the accessories that comes in minidoll sets emperor angelfish seahorse star fish octopus? fish? trumpet snail? sea shell

I think it is more than big enough to have a moving head (that makes more sense than legs on a deer), but they where probably trying to save money so they made it solid

Have even the city sets leaked yet? Lego is holding the cards close to their chest lately! No reason to give us single set reveals either this year, so we could be in for a long wait if we are unlucky

Yes since we did not get Fang in the aragog set last year, this is our "only" (there is always CMF) chance before they restart on year 1-2 again in the future.. Padfoot could come in several sets this year or maybe in a set next year, so i prefer Fang if I have to choose between the two

Would only work for a black sparrow Off course since this is a HP set I agree with you and that makes most sense

That would be great, but I think the chances are slim to none, they are using the hole mould budget on buckbeak and most likely fang. If fang had come in last year aragog set and maybe buckbeak came in a second set this year the chances would have been good for a new crow mould...If we are grasping at straws maybe they can use the mould budget to the graveyard set to make a crow and include it in both sets

Not bad! Finally a useful animal from that side I was in a set already, but it was probably made from the CMF budget..

I am not into Disney so this is not for me, but the series look good I would say. I understand that they had to make Mickey and Minnie in the CMF so they could include them in the ideas set, but that will probably affect sales numbers on the expensive set.. Anna and Elsa look better in minifig form than in minidoll form While the figs look good where are the accessories, almost not existing and is there anything new there at all? Is it the crazy Disney tax that is too blame, compare this to the WW (also a license series), and it is clear that something is wrong somewhere

I wonder if B&P are making it more likely that Lego will make new moulds and exclusive printed parts?! Think about it, sometimes they make a mould or printed part just for one set and sometimes they never show up again, so all the cost goes to that one set (if on the other the part turn up in 100 sets over the years, the cost is only 1% per set). Now we are buying the rare moulds and prints like crazy in B&P, so they earn a lot of extra money on that specific part/print that should in theory remove some of the cost from that one set also right?!

Ernie's face look spot on

I can not remember last time we got this many new animal moulds and almost every one is useless to me What a frustrating waste of moulds I am counting on Harry Potter to save the year

4766-1: Graveyard Duel had 548 parts so that is not so far from a $55 price-tag I agree that this years wave was mostly planned and made before they knew how well the first wave was selling and that we probably will see a increase in sets sets and waves next year (some FB also), but I do think they will stick to the original plan to make sets from two HP films per year. So probably no POA or GOF sets next year, the later films have also very few sets made in the past, so a lot to make there for the first time.. After the first 4 years, they will probably start over and make the sets they missed the first time in addition to some remakes

But we may get a Norwegian Ridgeback or Ukrainian Ironbelly down the road Have you not heard that WW steal mould budgets from other themes, so you will have no luck begging there Swedish Short-Snout

That is probably fake, too early for advent calendar leaks now (do they usually leak at all?) Well with that logic it could be retailer exclusives in June as well The reason we know so little about the august sets is probably because they where not in the retail catalogue for 1HY. Retailer exclusives are never in the catalogues so sets can pop up like the two did last year, they can even be so secret that the first "leak" is from a shop selling them So we could get a bonus or two if we are lucky it is also possible that the so-called August sets a the retailer exclusives this year

I think it is the other way around because CMF have a much higher mould budget! WW even had to steal from Jurassic world to make some of the moulds they wanted. The rat was obviously made with HP in mind, but probably used the city budget to make the mould since it came there first (alternatively the CMF). The niffler, golden snitch etc. probably all used the CMF budget The new moulds in the set probably goes to the big dragon, but maybe they could make something in the size of the golden snitch in a future CMF wave I agree that it is probably what it is, but I guess it is a small chance they could make a separate build in the future

It is possible the budget was used up, but we got the niffler as well, so there is two animals in one series.. It is odd they give us plenty of dog breads, but only one cat in different colours, maybe the cat species are too similar compared to dogs? I agree, they would never do that now, the time were one dog mould where used for every dog is gone
