Lego Licensed Parts available from Bricks & Pieces
Roebuck replied to LegoPercyJ's topic in LEGO Licensed
Sure got some different parrots in the haul -
Not impossible at all The manta ray is also one of the few animals that have not gotten a updated mould yet so it may show up as well.. Biology focus sets would be excellent, but it is probably treasure hunting as usual
-
Thankfully it is not Voldemort since I need several of the new sneaks All the other with animals have 3 per box so that is great, those are the ones I need several of, only need one of each of the rest As long as it is never a fig I want more than one of, I do not care if they put a chase fig in future series (as long as it is in every box).. I think Harry with invisibility cloak would be the most obvious choice, or if they chose the most plain fig as in series 18 Credence would be the natural one to pick
-
That would off course be a dream theme for me If they make it a modern zoo where every enclosure has a biotope that fits the animals inside they would be very different from each other also..
-
+1 That was a great theme I hope to see again hopefully next year! Maybe it is because of "friends" that the farm have not returned to the city, they have a lot of horse sets and some close to farm as well 2014 had arctic 2015 had deep sea 2016 had volcano 2017 had jungle I was surprised that we got a arctic theme already again this year The 2018 wave of arctic definitely brings some interesting new moulds to the table, but I prefer the 2014 wave. If we get a deep sea theme in 2019 we are probably caught up in a loop on the city explorer subtheme.. If that is the case I at least hope for some new animal moulds.. Volcano was useless to me so I hope they change that with safari, dessert, forest etc.. The other 3 subthemes have given us some great new moulds and a few nice sets so I am fine with having them in the loop, but I would prefer more than 4 in the rotation..

"Apology to Harry Potter fans. We posted earlier today that Harry Potter minifigures were in store and available to be sold. Unfortunately LEGO delivered the stock early in error and we are not permitted to sell the stock before the embargo date which is 1st August. We are truly sorry for any inconvenience and hope to see you on 1st August when the stock will definitely be available." At least it confirms that they are out 1st of august
-
There is a picture on instagram where it says the price for 71043 is 499,99 euro and expected in stock 1 of August not sure if that is correct Edit: found the page and they say: "LEGO 71043 Hogwarts Castle. Exact price and delivery time unknown!" So nevermind https://www.brickshop.nl/lego/lego-harry-potter/lego-71043-hogwarts-castle.html?Itemid=98

I think SDCC is a very hot candidate now, unsure if there are any other big Lego events between now and 15th of august? Not that it must be for a reveal to happen, but the chance definitely increases.. To play the devil's advocate, what's speaks against SDCC is maybe that non of the give-aways are HP related as far as I have seen Not that I want there to be any exclusive figs there out of reach for most people, but if they are bringing out the big gun some related giveaway is not unlikely to follow at that location
-
I would definitely buy those sets What I expect from the next wave is sets from film 3 + 4 and COG.. Hard to guess the FB sets before the movie.. From POA I expect: Knight bus Hagrids hut hopefully with new Fang and Buckbeak moulds A part of Hogwarts maybe Sirius escape combined with the Hospital Wing New characters: Sirius, Ernie Prang, Stanley Shunpike, Fang, Buckbeak, Madam Pomfrey+ a student or two From GOF I guess: Harrys first task with the dragon Harrys second task under water A part of Hogwarts maybe with the goblet of fire New characters: Fleur, Krum, hungarian horntail, merpeople, Madame Olympe, Igor Karkaroff, Beauxbatons student and Durmstrang student
-
Not very surprising, but nice to see the sets are selling like hot cakes I would say it is 95% sure we are getting a new wave next year Most likely only sets from film 3 and 4 (but pretty sure we get a chamber of secrets set in a future wave)..
-
Is your name Dudley Dursley I understand that people want to get there hands on the sets, but they are not limited in anyway so everyone will be able to buy them sooner or later if you got the money.. Personally I always wait until I get a good deal on the sets and save a lot of money in the long run that way
-
Well looks like a lot of you in the US have to wait as long as the rest of us The CMF really complement the sets as aforementioned, so I wonder if the future goblet of fire sets will focus on Fleur and Krum as Harrys competition since we got Cedric Diggory already In fact I expect most of the unique CMF figs not to show up in the next wave of sets.. I know the designer said they scrapped the Chamber of secrets set, but I would not be surprised if that pops up in a future wave, since all the characters is missing even Ginny Is it only me or do Nagini have printing on the body in the picture on the leaflet
-
If I remember correctly it was a fig of a old Ollivander so HP is most likely.. Maybe a GWP, a small set where Harry buys the wand That makes it even stranger that the WW set did not include a mrs norris They could just have put the normal cat in the set, because she looks more like the normal cat than Crookshanks looks like the his CMF version and last wave used a kitten for her

-
First polybag, expect more to come the next hours
-
"Nagini was a large, green snake, roughly twelve feet long and as thick as a man's thigh." If that reference is right around 3,7m, the length is not so bad, but she is a a little thin.. Do not get me wrong I love the mould, but the one in the film was definitely longer than 3,7m, she had a more "man-eating" size, but it is a magic snake so maybe a 3,7 m long snake eat humans for dinner
-
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter Minifigure Series comes with 6 animals! Two owls where one have a new colour The new rat mould with maybe a new bald patch in the head The FB niffler, it is new, but is also in a set the cat in a new colour a new big snake mould
-
Got 11 figs right and some accessories as well
-
Finally we got to see the CMF Pros: Overall a very good series that are complementing the sets very well only two Harry's and the rest are unique characters 6 animals, with one new mould and 2 new colours (the niffler is also new more or less) Small cons: Ron could have had Pigwidgeon in a new small owl mould, which also could be used for Cho's owl in a different colour Ron's face is not so easy to recognize General remarks: I find it odd that we are missing Ginny, Lockhart, moaning myrtle and ms Norris (+Tom Riddle) in this wave, so a COS set is hopefully down the line.. Those who mixed up the spot on Dean Thomas with Lee Jordan must have been Still a lot of characters missing that we can get in future waves Something new is taking a new animal like the niffler and put it in a set that comes out at the same time as the CMF, but the more animal moulds the merrier

Thanks for the tip Thanks for the interview So far I have only seen two interviews on your page and maybe 3 beside that on other sites, it makes me wonder One month ago a majority of the most popular Lego fan sites in the world where several days in Billund, one of those days they only did interviews with Lego employees. In total that should be quite a few interviews and something I believe they would be eager to publish as soon as possible, but no So the question is are you not allowed to purplish different interviews until specific dates to avoid spoilers? Why should it be discontinued This is not LOTR or nexoknights this is HP the most asked for theme in toy shops that they did not have for sale (until now). With the quality of the sets they are making there is no reason this theme can not go on for a very long time.. Look at SW they have made it for 20 years basically just making the same ships over and over with I would guess fewer Lego buying fans than HP could potentially get now! I think the timing for HP is perfect this time with the "original" fans now old enough to have kids who also are fans, in addition all the kids, teens and adult who are fans and the number is growing every day They will probably make the 20 sets over the next few years, then start making the 20 that did not make the first cut mixed with some rehash sets, so a basilisk mould is probably a few years into the future at best (Fawkes could come sooner in the a CMF or Dumbledore's office set).. FB will probably get more than 2 sets in future waves if they sell well also I think Lego is more than capable of dividing 22 by 2 They just want to keep it under wraps until they are ready to reveal it.. Sometimes they manage to do that and sometimes not, so far they are doing a good job with this CMF The chance increase everyday that balloon of information will burst
-
I am not sure how many pieces that build has, but twice as big do not seem very likely to me.. Maybe the castle is bigger and less surrounding "stuff" in the D2C That is not very surprising at all, they usually leak only a short time before they are released. Since we are getting some leaks now maybe it is closer than we think The CMF on the other hand is more surprising since they usually leak much sooner

That is what I am afraid is the case here also, but then I will complain and everything will hopefully workout in the end somehow -
What did I say :
-
That do not mean much, it would be a very small book if it only include figs from the sets and CMF this year. If somebody gets hold of the book early we will know more what to expect in the CMF The nanofigs are probably cheap to make, and Lego probably anticipated that some would be disappointed that it is not minifigs, so maybe they go overboard with the nanofigs to compensate I do not remember the list of D2C sets to expect, but there is is still half a year left of 2018, must be more than 3 right? The James Bond car definitely seems to be around the corner If Target is only in the US then I think it is more likely that TRU will get it as usual, since the brand is still doing fine in most of Europe at least That would be perfect for me, but probably Lego do something else with them since the number of TRU still standing are very low compared to last year, so each shop would get to many sets to handle.. GWP is probably the best solution for everyone, but since the number probably is to low to get them with every set, maybe a GWP to the people buying HP sets over a sum or D2C
-
Well I guess it can count as a brick build beast, hopefully we will get a new mould for it in a future wave that looks a lot more like a Bowtruckle So this set has two completely brick built beasts; the Erumpent and Bowtruckle. Two brick built with a few moulded parts; Occamy and Thunderbird and one new animal mould; the Niffler Not hard to tell what looks best, when it comes to Lego animals less (bricks) is definitely more
