  1. Nothing new, but a person over on Instagram says he/she got the hands on a trade catalogue, with 5 normal HP sets (could still be some limited also) for release in June..No pictures, but the same set numbers as previous mentioned. I guess we will know more this time on Saturday
  2. Lego loves ships so definitely possible in the future, do not think we will get it any time soon and the reason for that is because I think the old one did not sell well.. At least I think that was the reason why they started to include 4 extra minifigs, could be wrong about the reason off-course.. Me personally would much rather have the Beauxbatons carriage instead of the ship..
  3. I not sure about the NYTF, but London is only for "professionals", Brickset have been invited before, but did not this year Nuremberg had fan sites going, but they could not take photos, last year the WW sets where in a different room where only "professionals" got in and not the fan sites. NYTF have usually fan sites and they can take pictures as well, at least they could last year.. The fan sites usually get deadlines for when they can release a review of a new set, but they will report what they see at fairs, the problem is that Lego usually do not bring all the sets they have in the pipeline to the fair.. We are all eager to get those questions answered My advise is not to buy anything old now, a lot of them will get better sets in the next years. I bought Fluffy not long ago, but only because I do not think they will make a new mould. Basilisk and Fawkes on the other hand could very well be in a future COS set.. I think the timing is perfect! Last wave I was not so interested, I had a few of the old sets and it was other themes I was more interested in. The last years I have started to regret not getting more than 2 of the 2010-11 sets and getting more and more interested in the theme.. It has grown on me, maybe it is because of the lack of HP the last years and I am not alone! Back in the days we got new books and movies almost every year, until now that has not been the case for quite a few years. The first generation potterheads has now started to reproduce as well an introduce the WW to their kids, so the number of fans in all ages in steady increasing in all ages.. My guess is that the WW theme is here to stay this time
  4. OK they will not spoil anything from a new movie, but with that logic they could reveal any theme as long as it is not from a upcoming movie as soon as they can. There are several other reasons to keep sets secret for as long as possible, that said I believe the chances that we will see 1 or more sets in NYTF is pretty good
  5. What looks like a rubber duck and a baby turtle has leaked. The turtle has a "minidoll hole in the head" so it is probably from friends, but I am worried that the duck is from "fun at the fair". A rubber duck is a nice piece to get do not get me wrong, but I much prefer a "normal alive" duck mould
  6. TRU was the only toyshop company I know about that was in a large part of the world. Yes you have big companies in some countries, but they are only in 1 or maybe 2 countries. Promos like bricktober is not cheap to make and if you want Lego to take part of the bill you better be a huge company so it is worth it for them. Last year the bricktober sets where well on there way when TRU started to die out, so they had get rid of them somehow that's why B&N got HP.. Bricktober will probably never happen again since it was a TRU thing. Lego will not stop making promos so maybe they will start making a more general one that they can give to different toy-shops in different countries, but i would prefer that they do it themselves that way it is more fair and attainable for most people
  7. That is almost certain not happening, it was Toys R Us that had the bricktober-sets and they are out of businesses in almost every country now
  8. I think you will be very happy then It is almost guaranteed that we will get a second series do to the first ones success, when is hard to tell, maybe next year already.. Polypags are more random, we will for sure see some now and then. Only 1 last year with all those other set we got and compared to how many the Lego movie is getting now was below expectations, so hopefully more than 1 this year.
  9. I hope you are right, but to me it looks like they could fit in more regular series if they wanted. Take the second batman series as a example, who was asking for or expecting that to show up?! Turned out to be a crappy seller as well, still have shops that have it in stock around here The regular series seem to sell well, so hopefully they have learnt
  10. My guess is wizarding world 2, series 20 with a twist and another movie or similar licensed series
  11. Fishing is mostly about patience, sooner or later the fish will bite as long as you keep on fishing.. We did get a few surprise catches last year and that could very well be the case this year also! Remember you do not see every fish before it bites I am sure our fish luck will be better in 9 days time
  12. I assume it exactly that way they will make the patronus; A patronus charm look like a normal animal, but with a bright colour That way they can use old animal moulds like dog and horse in a new colour in future sets If Lego must make a new mould like the stag or otter they can use it in a normal colour in other themes later So soon, strange that the sets are not in the retail catalogue (?), anyway we should get more news soon then
  13. Loot shot https://ibb.co/9Nv9Rhs
  14. Well now you have 10 posts so you can answer and send as many PM as you want
  15. Excellent series @Robert8 Glad that you have started to include more animals, the beaver, seal and snake are awesome In addition to the animals my favorite fig is probably the knight
  16. Hehe, OK I give you a easier one; do you know about any other new animal moulds in any of the sets
  17. Lego have understood this time around that there are 4 houses and that the last 2 have just as many fans as the first 2! I am sure we will get more figs from Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw in the waves to come OK, I will give you a very hard question; how many tines do the deer mould have in its antler
  18. It is apparently just a picture taken from an ideas submission and not a leak from a upcoming Lego set
  19. No offence, but that is the most likely scenario.. New members come to EB claiming they know things quite often. A few are legit and become valued members, but a lot is bluffing and they are soon gone.. Hopefully you are legit, but until that is proven when the sets are released I and a lot of other members will take what you say with a grain of salt, nothing personal
  20. Yes, but that's not how Lego do it, they have there own value on currency's Harry and a dementor is almost guaranteed in the set! A 3 fig could be a second dementor or Sirius, to get both we are really pushing it If we get Sirius in another set it is probably better with 2 dementors for army-building purposes, but less likely.. The joker is the patronus, if we get a new deer stag mould it could take the spot to the 3rd and 4th fig easy.. If that is the case I do not mind at all, even tough it is white it is still our first deer mould Lego you better not do as Disney did with Bambi and give us a white-tailed deer or another American deer as a stand in for a red deer stag (Bambi is a roe deer in the original books)
  21. Yes, I will have a talk to the designers in September about that Have ninjago ever had a animal mould first except some snakes?! Could be, but I guess it is real.. Not much use to me except if it is from FB3 (not very likely). Could be from some minidoll like elves, but looks to scary.. Something from a game like overwatch would be my first guess, but then some gamer should recognise it very soon..So I assume it is from a new theme
  22. They will probably not do it, but Playmobil have several sets with hunters. On the other hand they have a lot more animal moulds so they need to harvest the populations. In Lego all the animals are usually on the endangered list because off low population numbers
  23. I didn't even think there was a chance creator 3 in 1 had any animal moulds except maybe a fish even-tough one has a pet-shop in it would be a turn for the better animal wise for that theme if it is true
  24. Hopefully a normal duck and not a rubber duck mould
