From what I read the BL castle set could not include a saddle because they are not currently in production so the designer had to brick-build one The blacksmith set probably did not have the funds in the budget to bring it back either.. Unless we get castle, western or farm sets I think the chances for a saddle is slim

Good inclusions, how could I forget the Owlery

What are we missing from the first 4 movies since I assume we will get 3-4 or 1-4 next year if we do not get DH sets! Old sets from the 1-2 movies: The Room of the Winged Keys The Final Challenge (the parts was in the GH more or less anyway) Gringott's bank Troll on the Loose Dobby's Release Knockturn Alley Other than Gringotts and Knockturn Alley these are not very exciting and we have all the characters except the troll. Other sets we are missing? In the forbidden forest with Fang The Dursleys on the island (have every fig except the pigtail) Missing DA parts ? Old sets from the 3-4 movies: Shrieking Shack Sirius Black's Escape (have the parts in other sets mostly) Professor Lupin's Classroom (have the parts in other sets mostly) Harry and the Marauder's Map (have the parts in other sets mostly) Draco's Encounter with Buckbeak (have the parts in other sets mostly) The Durmstrang Ship Rescue from the Merpeople Other sets we are missing? the leaky cauldron the maze ferret Draco scene Moody dark arts class and office Harry in the closet with Rita Skeeter Aunt Marge balloon scene ? There are enough from 3-4 to give us a wave next year if we do not get DH then, however what I miss most are more DA sets, if they give us that I am a happy camper

From what I have heard they are a huge success They have made DH sets before and will make it again, this "too dark" I agree is stupid. However if we got DH sets this year it would feel like a end to the theme, so instead they used the 20 years as a excuse to start over. We may get DH sets next year, but would not be surprised if we must wait several years and get 3-6 first again. Except some minor parts of the COS set everything is new this year so they have a lot they can make from the 6 first movies that they skipped the first round. So maybe after 3 years covering all movies a second round they will be forced to do more remakes

I agree with this I think the set is a little bare, would be better with more devil's snare, and ad a owl or two on the roof and some chocolate frogs for better details Yes, but they are normally revealed alone later and not with the main wave

Great info to get, wish I had it for every animal mould made I wonder how many frogs there are inside the big figs

I think you will get in trouble if you do not remove the link

I assume they are completely random, so if you are unlucky you can get only similar cards in a set. I think it is a fun idea and I am sure kids will love to swap them. Hope to see more cards in next year sets, maybe they will give us a book or a poster build etc where we can keep them in the future A little, but I understand that they like to keep it a surprise for now I do not see why some of you complain about the heads. To me it was a nice surprise to get 3 different heads, was not expecting more than one type. As you say just BL a couple if you only like one of them.. I am sure they will Next year maybe Another frog in the set A green one in the bottom left corner

Got 2 orders from end of last month

Except the COS and Fawkes sets these sets really seems to be lacing animal moulds and was there one thing the sets from 20 years ago was not lacing it was owls and other animals I give COS 8/10 in the animal mould department: +has a new barn owl +has a normal snowy owl +has the flying owl in pearl gold for the first time +6 frogs that is a perfect number of frogs +the basilisk looks great and the new head fantastic +get new pixies and even 2 -could have included Fawkes, but I am glad they went with the barn owl instead -could have included another owl, the Hogwarts from 2001 had 4 after all Fawkes get 6/10: +it includes Fawkes for the first time in a set since it came in the CMF last year -Hedwig last year got a new mould so the score would be higher if we got that, but was not really expecting it So far the rest of the sets looks like they are getting 0/0 or maybe I can give Flyffy 3/10 for the new head the rest 0/0! No owls when most of the sets had them 20 year ago and not even frogs in sets that give us chocolate-frog cards

Say they give us DH sets in the 2018-2020 style next year. Then they are finished with that style most likely and what do they then do in 2023 give us more set in this style or start all over with a new one? To me it makes most sense to continue with this style, because there is more sets to do, they can focus on giving us sets we have not gotten yet, but also combined with some re-releases in a new form To me it is most important that we get DA expansion sets, so hopefully we see that next year

Not sure there ever will be either, we where not missing a lot and what we was missing was more to do with figs and scenes from DA. Would not be surprised if they start over with this style and just give us more sets next year and after a few years we finally get DA sets in the same style. After all City gets a new police-station every year and how many millennium falcons has SW got over the years

No doubt that Nick Vas has made this set

"It is just a normal barn owl" Maybe I get lucky, they flying one is possible to buy there now It has 6 frogs and a snake, this is definitely Nick Vas

Nagini is to big for that snake, the best would probably be the cobra mould from CMF, but this one is fine That is easy to fix, just buy more parts for it Thanks for the info, but as usual when something big leaks IG wont let me have a peak So this was really useful, thank you Probably so they can move/glide around like in the movie To bad it did not include horses, I would rather have paid a little more to get that and then it would be a even better castle part pack.. The statue could also be useful for Castle fans I assume I would call it a good cooperation instead, the WW sets had done that from the start. A great way to use the CMF budget to make the sets even better Worth a extra chocolate frog card every time that happens Like I knew they would, no way the HP theme would give us bad sets even if it was not what we where expecting Me too

Unsurprisingly the new barn owl comes in a HP set The set also has the white normal one and a pearl gold one with its wings out, in addition to 3 frogs (r.brown, pink and white)

Had not thought about that, but you are probably right From what I understand he likes to include all types of animal moulds in sets not only frogs , but frogs are usually the easiest to fit in at least smaller sets. However here he managed to fit some bigger ones as well I am pretty sure he did not make the Hogsmeade with no frogs let alone any bigger animal moulds

Yes I know, but for the August wave we only have vague rumours so I am sure opinions will change even more there

I am looking forward to this happening to the August wave as well Or maybe they did not want to "waste" another new character in this set and we have not even got Percy yet Perhaps she is included with him in a future set, however unsure what kind of set that would be, the next COS set

Well they are randomised in the books/films also, and I guess BL can help if we are missing some. I think it is great idea and hope we will see more of them in future sets Actually I think Lego with 16 have already made more than it is possible to buy in the real world That would make sense, Luna makes no sense to me even if several people say it is her.. She has freckles, none of the Luna figs have that right? She looks like Penelope to me Did not the trio end up on chocolate cards anyway (of course many years later)? I think the 2 sets we see properly look great with a lot of nice details and new characters. Ideally they should have included Fawkes, but we got him in the CMF so do not mind much, I am so happy we got a new barn owl instead The basilisk look great, but I wonder if it would not look even better with more "snake-parts" instead of the middle body-part, of course it could not lift its head that easily, however I might buy some extra to see.. Hogsmeade should have included a owl or two and where are the chocolate frogs in the sets other than that it looks nice

The mould is being used for both, however in these sets is must be a crocodile since there is no alligators in Africa

Have you seen the finished elephant already (beside the one in prelim)? I suspect it has no movable legs since the mammoth did not have it, but have not seen a good picture of it yet..

Well if we only look at the winners in the Ideas GWP contest that is voted on by us: Space Rocket Ride no animals (did we vote for this one?) Vintage Car no animals Sailing Ship Adventure, 2 dolphins and 1 seagull The Adventures of the USS Cardboard, 1 cat No wonder the first or the second do not have any animals, but the ship has 3. Even the space one that I did not vote for since I am no space fan managed to include a cat (if I have voted I would have been for that one). This time I am sure a lot of the builds will include animal moulds and will be surprised if the winner do not include at least one probably several within this category. I would go so far to say that including animals will increase the chances of winning, a lot of AFOLs want more of them and I for one are voting for the one with most/best animals every time

New GWP contest live! I have high hopes for animal moulds in this one
