    Thanks for the heads up I sent in a order, used mail, but then I had to call in the payment later.. Anyway the prices was not similar in Norway The saber.tooth cost 8.33$ The eagle 4.32$ They told me the mammoth came in a bag with all the parts(I will see it that is correct in a couple of weeks) and that cost 16.98$ This animals where so expensive, so it might be more economic to buy the sets they are in if you get it at 40-50% discount then take the animals and sell the sets.. Off course more risk and job, but you could get them for free that way Also ordered the glow in the dark spider, it cost almost twice as much as the other spiders 0,54$

    Hagrids hut and the knight bus are pretty "safe", maybe we get a piece of Howgvarts with the dragon included.. The sets we get will depend a lot on if they are from film 3 or 3 and 4 (or maybe 3 with a flavour of 1-2)

    Maybe I read to much between the lines, but it sure sounds like we are getting a new wave next year here: https://www.promobricks.de/lego-harry-potter-neue-sets-in-2019-stickerboegen-und-power-functions/62430 I used google translate, so I could be lost in translation as well

    According to: https://www.promobricks.de/lego-71022-harry-potter-minifiguren-serie-1-bestaetigt/62922 Harry Potter minifigure series 1 is confirmed with a release date 28/9-18 in a German toy shop I like the sound of "series 1" and hopefully it will turn up sooner at least a list and/or pictures

    Want and want, it is more with which exclusive figs they could put in the D2C and those 4 is the most likely candidates.. Not sure the set will have minifigs, if must have some sort of display stand for the figs like the helicarrier had if they are included I guess.. It is a legit fear, but I do not think it will happen if they keep on keeping on making sets with this high quality! HP have much more fans than LOTR and in all ages, I think too few kids where into LOTR so Lego did not sell enough sets to them.. I believe this theme can even challenge SW since we got much more female fans It sounds like we are getting the second wave next year already, probably with a piece or two of Hogwarts and some new beast mould (I guess Fang, Buckbeak and hungarian horntail) A new picture of the aragog set is on Instagram, so maybe that means it is being listed in the shops soon as well

    Do we expect 4-5 minifigs with the set?! I hope there is no one exclusive at least, well off course they are if included, but like exclusive variants of Harry, Ron, Hermione etc is fine. If it have exclusive figs of e.g. the 4 founders and they never come in another set in any variant that is bad news to the fans who do not want to buy it since it is not minifig-scale, but want all HP minifigs in there collection

    If you look at the hand that is a prototype at best, and the fact that it is still not taken down, but Ollivander is makes it a bit dubious to me

    I believe some people have access to a different picture than the ones in the plastic bag that have leaked.. I am glad we got this news now and not when the pictures are reveled, because now we can shake of most of the disappointment and look more neutrally on the set when we get pictures later.. The nano-scale sets usually consist of a lot of small parts right, so with the huge weight of the set it should be a lot more than 5000 parts I assume Since we most likely only are getting zero or a few minifigs in the D2C, the CMF should have no problem filling spots with characters from the 2 first films that we are missing! To me this would be the best solution, since it increase the chance of future HP CMFs and we get more figs we are missing, but still not sure they will do it..

    This was disappointing news But I am sure Lego know what they are doing, this is probably a set that will sell a lot to HP fans that are not into Lego yet and suddenly they have a lot of new AFOLs to sell sets to Will I buy it?! Not sure, I am not a collector of micro/nanofig size sets, so I will make up my mind when I see it. It is most likely a great looking set, but not what I was hoping for.. As several people already have said, if we are patient we will get a huge minifigsized Hogwarts with the regular sets after some years, and the quality and detail of the sets are more than good enough for me.. We still have the CMF to look forward to as well
  10. Roebuck
    Already What where the prices?
  11. Roebuck
    You do not have any info I assume Should leak any day now Odd, but could be something with logistics, maybe the sets are not finished at the factory yet We are getting the CMF then also and the D2C is getting closer as well
  12. Roebuck
    Excellent, that is the great service we want from Lego I apologize for suspecting you of foul play
  13. Roebuck
    Well maybe not a difference to Lego, but to us it is rather a big difference in value from two lemon pieces and a eagle + mammoth Anyway this has never happened to me, but lucky you Some people claim they do not understand the difference between buying bricks and replacing missing bricks for free. Maybe they are blind or cannot read, but if enough people abuse this Lego may restrict the service in the future. There is no way a set could be missing the mammoth I think, the quality control in the factory would remove the set because it is to light.. So I was afraid something like that had happened, but if Lego give them to you willingly then it is no problem
  14. Roebuck
    Hopefully they are not Almost the only thing that can stop me from buying this set is if it is not "minifig sized".. A microscale set would be more accurate and include the hole castle, but I do not collect microscale and have little interest in sets who are not made to fit minifigs.. That would be a real bummer, but at least I can buy the normal sets and get a good Hogwarts after a lot of waves into the future Me neither.. HH will most likely be a set in a future wave, no point in wasting bricks on that in a set like this when it is a good standalone set. The greenhouses have a bigger chance of getting included especially if the set focus on film 1-2, but if the GH/WW set connect to the D2C I think it is more likely we get a separate greenhouse set in the future.. In the books the owlery is in the castle and would most likely be included, but in some of the films it is a separate building so if they follow that it could end up as a future separate set.. I hope it is included, because the sets are lacing owls so far..

    Around 1 week out in next month If you check 7/7 is should be there Free, why?!
  16. Roebuck
    I will still hope, but I am afraid you are right
  17. Roebuck
    It is 58 x 48 x 18 on Amazon so that is almost the same as BL and do sound like the same size more or less as HP, but those extra few cm is actually a rather big difference when you calculate the number of litre the sets contain! The DT is around 7l and 1 kg smaller than HP The only set that I have compared with that is bigger is the MF (quite a lot bigger also), so this is definitely a beast of a set
  18. Roebuck
    Yes, and a new animal or two
  19. Roebuck
    Not according to Amazon, the joker manor box is only about 50l, while HP is over 61l and 2,19kg (4,8lbs) heavier
  20. Roebuck
    1,6 kg heavier than the Disney castle

    What do "for solicitation only" mean? Tried to google, but pretty sure it do not mean "sex for money" in this context Could it be just a placeholder? The cover on this one looks quite odd as well: https://www.amazon.com/Witches-Wizards-Character-Handbook-Potter/dp/1338260960/ref=pd_sbs_14_2?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=1338260960&pd_rd_r=d27ab635-7097-11e8-9cbc-d19d5eec9285&pd_rd_w=TFrm1&pd_rd_wg=pMliP&pf_rd_i=desktop-dp-sims&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_p=5825442648805390339&pf_rd_r=NPRVTT4THGH4E2HC7F5A&pf_rd_s=desktop-dp-sims&pf_rd_t=40701&psc=1&refRID=NPRVTT4THGH4E2HC7F5A It is scheduled for a late August release, so could maybe leak some D2C figs in it
  22. Roebuck
    No point buying the book for the fig at least.. Is it not usual that the fig is shown not a drawing like in this case? The Ollivander fig could still be in a polybag or GWP, off course most likely in the CMF, but I find it odd that he is the only fig that have leaked if he is in the CMF You can not believe everything you read, some say July, some August and some September Time will show, could even be different in different parts of the world.. No technically uni-kitty is no minifigure, but some product line between CMF and mixels, so technically it should not interfere with the CMF line up
  23. Roebuck
    Everything points to it being HP, OK we do not have any 100% prof yet, but the most likely conclusion is that is HP.. If it had been mandatory that we get solid info about a set 1-2 months before its release for the set to be a reality, then we would miss a lot of sets like many of the D2C Lego are better and better at keeping secrets also
  24. Roebuck
    Nice work with the update, but there is definitely only one brown cow body, just check bricklink if you do not believe me The only difference is the horns..
  25. Roebuck
    Yes, so far they have kept the lid on very well! The Ollivander fig is very likely from something else than CMF (book, polybag etc) and the voldemort fig could just be a fake. Normally we do not get one CMF fig leak together with several set figs or one CMF fig out of the blue, they usually come several together right? Hopefully we get something soon, at least a correct list if nothing else! Well with every day passing that we do not hear anything the chance of hearing something increase the next day
