    Probably, my guess is that they will release other smaller sets like the creator one for the anniversary that normal toy shops can sell. Would not be surprised if this is only sold directly from Lego or maybe a few of the biggest shops as well (that normally sell D2C sets)

    I have been there and it is not a very big room so do not think it would help to hire more people as there is no room for them unless they work in shifts around the clock and I do not think that is very likely. Employees trying to stay awake and picking parts in the middle of the night, it would be a nightmare to handle with all the faults Yes, hopefully it will be similar again after the break and startup problems

    Maybe the designer did not what to do a video or there is some other reason they did not do it, but a lot of sets do not have them after all

    If you take a look on #legoleaks on Instagram or other places they share leaks you may see something It is not allowed to share images or links of leaks here

    Those are both greats sets, but I would not say they are in system scale, well the Disney one is a strange 50-50 scale, so they must do it differently with this castle. My guess is less small external details, closed wall on the outside, open on the inside with easy access to the rooms with a lot of details hopefully.. I built the blacksmith set yesterday and it is a nice looking and fun set to build, but the scale is way of anything we have gotten in Castle previously unfortunately. Not the Lego designers fault since I believe the original submission was even bigger, but would have been better if they choose a Ideas submission with more buildings at a smaller scale in my mind. There are plenty of those on Ideas, but I guess we will not get a Castle set for a long time on Ideas now

    OK, sounds right since it has been more than 3 months already

    This is always the case, If HP Lego suddenly stopped selling now we probably would not get any sets next year, so if you see it or not do not matter much on the bottom line i think That is probably right, but this time they decided to make films for teenagers and adults and since you are here I assume you are an adult so you should be fine The HP film series started out as kids movies and transition in to an older audience so not so strange FB film series started with the older audience from the get go

    That is true, however it depends on the budget of the set if it is high enough to make a new mould I believe the goat have a good chance. On the other hand if the budget is medium (or hopefully not even low) they will use it on bringing back parts out of production and maybe a recolour or two I do not have good enough control of what Castle parts are in production: a lot of the weapons are probably in different sets, so maybe not a lot missing here? we have some headgear like a knights helmet and the forrestman hat however I assume it is a reason why there are only one helmet in the blacksmith set a lot of animals available, but if they want to include the horse in the classic style as black or white a recolour is needed and the horse barding is definitely not in stock (the saddle just came in fortunately, saved by City again) other than the black falcons most of the minifigs need new printing I assume

    There are some rather big chances there now, so it depends on what animals you want?! They have removed every 2022 part for now, and apparently will include them after 3(?) months after their release if I remember correctly Older animals should be there as long as they are in stock I managed to order the new animals before the change and have not ordered anything since so maybe someone with more experience with the new system could be of more help

    Whatever was the reason I really hope we see more of her in the next films, Newt and Tina scenes are fun to watch I agree

    Looks like the frog comes in a new colour (magenta) in the orchid set
  12. Roebuck
    Thanks, used google translate and Stonewars say that the info are most likely from prelims in the shop catalogue so they may be different colour in the final sets
  13. Roebuck
    Yes, City are doing a fantastic job in the animal mould department lately and we can get a lot there. On the other hand that makes it cheaper for a set like this to include them and how many civilian figs have we gotten previously in Castle sets that has no livestock in them?! I agree they should fill up the stable first in this set when it comes to animals, but I hope they do not stop there After Castle and Western disappeared and Paradisa etc moved to Friends, horses show up only once every leap year That is probably more realistic number, but I am setting myself up for disappointment and expect more I agree, this would be a great set to bring back the goat, but we will soon see.. I really hope this has a lot more budget than the Ideas blacksmith set or we may be in trouble I wish I had done that the short time it was on shelf's back in the day I agree, If they give us less than 4 hoses in this set that will be bad after all they managed to include 4 reindeer in the small "battle pack set" Do you have any source for the colours? I have not heard them mentioned previously
  14. Roebuck
    I am sure Lego will be able to make a great castle for 350$, however as I have said earlier it is the details that matter most to me and I hope they go all out on the minifigs and animals in this set. If I wanted basic castle parts I would just buy 3x of the castle 3 in 1. Now we have the chance of getting a set with lots of livestock and new minifigs for the first time in a decade in the Castle theme so i hope they do not waste the chance
  15. Roebuck
    Yes, however if it is not a train in system scale they are loosing all the train fans as buyers
  16. Roebuck
    They are expensive, just look at a basic City train set that cost 230$, add a much more detailed train, maybe some extra tracks and a detailed station or two and you are getting close by Lego standards

    It has never been off the table "Darker" had noting to do with it, they made a set of where Harry is "killed" for crying out loud My guess is that they after several years of being reluctant to give out many HP sets after previously been burnt, they decided to take the chance and give out a couple of best of waves to the last two movies. Some sets are from DH, and some are from previous films.. I told people they focused to much on the price when they used it as a argument to what it could not be I hope it is DA, but assumed it would be something else, if it is the HE that is probably the second most likely set, I would have guessed it was something completely different I see you live up to your name The HP design time is one of the best ones working at Lego, giving us fantastic sets every year and getting a lot of praise from fans even from those that do not even collect HP sets! Would be really interesting to see what figs we get yes, the King's Cross station worker from the two first films is probably included and maybe they include epilogue figs A decent selection of owls would be appreciated after zero in the summer wave I do not believe it yet either has been several different rumours what the set could be earlier, however if it is correct you should probably eat your hand for good measure so sure you have been that it has been DA

    https://www.brickfanatics.com/buckbeak-has-changed-since-harry-potter-2019/ They look different, but I still think it is the renders The print looks different as well.. I would loved to get them in more colours, but unfortunately they only included him in the film so small chances we get them in brown etc
  19. Roebuck
    I think that could just be a mistake with the renders and that all sets have some. I hope for new ones, but most likely it is the same from last years I think it is the same colour as the "toy story" set, but without the name tag. Yes they have done a good job of stopping leaks lately, I guess the "leak hunter" they hired last year is doing a great job I was sitting yesterday waiting for FB3 to start in the movies (I liked it, it was fantastic visuals and not confusing like the last one) and just checked my phone an there was suddenly the hole summer wave First of all I am happy we got a DH set so maybe I do not have to see the wrong quote that Lego are never going to make DH sets here any more The minifigs are the stand outs to me, a excellent selection and the especially the MOM set is all I could hope for minifig-wise We get 2 new cats + the patronus, a bat, german shepherd and sparrow recolour + the new juvenile thestral so that is great However a new HP wave without any owls, with those prices they should be able to include some owls in the sets All in all happy they still manage to give us new sets and not remakes from the last few years (20 year old remakes is fine), well done Lego WW theme
  20. Roebuck
    Really?! Looks the same to me unfortunately
  21. Roebuck
    It is the year of the cat definitely I noticed the bat as well, but hard to get a good look at it with the pictures I have seen so far. No owls is a HP wave is disappointing, but overall not bad animal-wise
  22. Roebuck
    That was early I am looking forward to finally see it tomorrow I hope for some FB sets or at least minifigs this year, but do not hold my breath..
  23. Roebuck
    I thought it was the 10th of august, not that that means much in this case Lego could easily keep this under wraps as long as they want until august, however what is giving me hope we will see it sooner is the fact that it is a price in a ideas competition that I believe ends/announce the winner i may
  24. Roebuck
    I would be hard to pull of at least in the same way as B-bay and Lego has more or less stooped including alternative models to their sets except in 3 in 1 sets and no chance we are getting that ( especially with the 3 in 1 Castle set we got last year). I think I prefer they include 1 fantastic model instead of 3 that need to make compromises. Say we get one lion castle, one village and one forestman hide out in the set, the parts needed to build those 3 do not overlap 100% so compromises would have been made to all 3
  25. Roebuck
    Sounds like you have been fooled to me
