  1. No sure, but some say the "limited" set is a FB. If that is the case then it is 3 FB, 3HP and the D2C.. But there is still a "missing" set number 75955 in the midst of sets.. Hopefully we will get some more info next weekend
  2. I had a dream last night that a new wave of sets where coming out including a few new animal moulds, the ones I can remember was a vulture and a male lion. Oh a safari theme you say, definitely not. From what I remember the vulture was in a small impulse set with a baby So I am hardly clairvoyant, but probably in need of more Lego animals and minifig baby's
  3. As long as we get Tina, Quennie and Jacob minifigures in one of the sets I do not have a preference to first or second movie
  4. The more animals in sets the better is my philosophy, but Lego know a lot of fans are crazy about them so they use them as selling points. We will probably not see a small set with a cow or a big cat, but frogs and snakes are common in all set sizes, it is a pattern to the madness But last year was maybe the best year ever when it comes to animals (see the link bellow), so I would say things are looking good in the years to come, even tough we probably will not see a animal cmf or minifig sized animal focused sets any time soon We have been there a long time with duplo, minidolls have been "flirting" with it, but no zoo yet and minifig sets still have long way to go
  5. "almost guaranteed IF there is a new bus set" Not that I know off, but if there comes several waves it is very likely
  6. To my irritation it is actually quite a few retailer limited sets in a year, so I would guess the chance that at least HP or FB have a retail exclusive set is around 50%... It is great that we get one (or two) more set, but they usually are very hard to get on sale because of the monopoly @Robianco depends on how much you want top dollar for the sets and how big chances you are willing to take when it comes to missing out on certain minifigs. There are a few oddballs in the last two waves (not counting 10217/4840), that probably would not show up this year and maybe not the next wave either: Marcus Flint (pretty likely if there is a new Quidditch set) Oliver Wood (pretty likely if there is a new Quidditch set) Narcissa Malfoy (probably the least likely to show up any time soon) Ernie Prang (almost guaranteed if there is a new bus set) Stan Shunpike (almost guaranteed if there is a new bus set) Gregory Goyle (could show up this year I guess)
  7. I agree, they are rather unique sets! @Robianco The Hogwarts sets are nice like the rest of the sets in the two waves, but the D2C are going to blow them away! So the only thing keeping the price up is unique minifigs, but as you say most of the figures if not all are being released again now, so the price of the sets will probably drop...
  8. 71043 is the Hogwarts D2C according to brickset at least..
  9. If it is a FB set I bet it will have Tina and Queenie (and Jacob if he is not in the suitcase), if it is a HP set it is almost in the price range of knight bus and Hagrid's Hut. Everything seems to be focused on Hogwarts so I guess no bus, but it is probably too cheep for the hut even without the spider that came with the last edition.. Hard to guess, maybe a Quidditch set or similar with a lot of figs or Harry with his patronus stag fighting of dementors Haha, hopefully not, what a waste Well the CMF has a lot of new figs, and we still do not know about the figs in the D2C, in addition looks like we are getting at least one more set and quite a few figs are still unknown to us! To me it sounds like the best HP wave ever when it comes to minifigs
  10. Could be a limited set, they always go under the radar? But what about 75955 then
  11. He has already answered on the previous page, he could not remember much beside what we already have heard, but it looks like the rumours are true at least
  12. Looks like we have to wait for New York before the unknown figs are revealed (and more details of the sets), well it is only next week.. Hoping a hufflepuff (and ravenclaw) minifig is among them
  13. Ok so the rumours are basically true Thank you that is nice to now I guess we can get some more missing details soon It is still a question mark on him on that page, but I think it is VERY unlikely that he is not included in at least one of the sets or as a CMF
  14. Maybe not, but if some of the sets are on display in the toyfairs we could get some confirmation or falsification of the rumours and that would not be half bad either
  15. Well I guess most Lego buyers do not keep track of different waves of sets. So I assume it is more that they want HP sets and ask for it The biggest Lego shop in Norway have visited the toy fair in Germany and yesterday they posted that they have seen the new Bugatti car. So I asked if they had seen anything to HP down there and sure enough the reply was; Yes, more info are coming soon! Not sure what that means, but sounds like they have some sets on display down there If that is the case we should get some info soon
  16. Mostly kids (boys?) have any interest in the ninjago franchise, when Lego makes great looking ninjago sets AFOLs will buy them because they are nice sets (the ninjas are of little to no interest).. So the ninjago CMF probably sold well to small boys, but not so well outside the target group.. HP on the other hand are more like SW with a huge following from kids to adults, but with a lot more female fans than SW I believe! It is apparently the nr 1 theme people are asking for in Lego shops that they do not have on shelf! I would be very surprised if the CMF (and the rest of the sets) do not sell well enough to warrant a new series
  17. I do not think that is the case, I believe we even had a classic castle wave when LOTR where in shops.. If it is the case; I love HP so that is a price I can pay, NK gave me nexo too nothing (1 minifig) from all those sets, totally useless
  18. That was very early in February indeed The parts I want was still not listed so guess I will give them a call tomorrow
  19. Well games are usually not much to go by.. If the rumors are true Voldemort is the only exception so far i think, but you can argue that he was in the two first books/films in one form or the other.. He is also a main character it is hard to get around anyhow..
  20. I believe the theory is that it is year 1-3 not 1-4...
  21. Not at all, when Lego have the monopoly there is off course few discounts too find. When several shops is selling a set there is always more competition and increased chance of getting a discount
  22. Yes, but why use bricks on a thing that people very easy can add them self's later for Christmas, Halloween etc If it is a theme I would expect something more general like Start-of-Term Feast maybe
  23. Pretty sure it will connect to ninjago city in some way, most likely via pins..
  24. The candle of hope is once again lit after the evil reign of nexo knights has ended
  25. Oh Happy Day! Maybe we finely can get a normal castle theme
