Thieda Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 I am very glad that we got high quality images rather than the crappy pictures of other themes.
RogueTwo Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 I can't help but feel that it was a mistake to include a flying car with Privet Drive while the other one is still available in the Whomping Willow set. The house is beautiful, but way too small, IMO, and the box art exacerbates this fact! New purchase order after seeing the sets: PRE-ORDER: 1. The Burrow 2. Hogwarts Astronomy Tower 3. Room of Requirement STILL NOT SURE: 4. Privet Drive (no number pun intended) 5. Forbidden Forest NOPE 6. Hedwig
Thieda Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 It would be one thing if the Hedwig set had a cool exclusive minifigure but that Harry is just kinda boring do a definite pass.
RealGeronimo11 Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 I looooooooove the Burrow, a definite 9/10, but that little build with the flame where you part them is really lazy and out of place, they should've gone with a marsh side-build at least. Also, some strange minifig choices across the board, but good sets in general.
Darth Shadowthrone Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 Holy crap the Astronomy tower has absolutely amazed me! All the details and rooms packed into it, all the space, the amazing building technique and the interesting shape: half the figures are meh-to-bad but the set is so good it's gone to the top of my list for this theme. I've already got so many old Hogwarts bits I thought I'd never need to add anything to it but I've been convinced! Brilliant job to whoever designed it.

See, I still want that exclusive Harry (because I'm pathetic, LOL) so I'm hoping that a year from now he will end up on Bricklink or eBay for $5.
Tariq j Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 What a brilliant range of sets! Burrow looks excellent, lots of great details like the clock and self knitting needles. The RoR has the mirror and picture of the original Order which is a nice touch. Privet Drive looks brilliant. It’s amazing how many details they’ve managed to include in a small build without feeling too cramped. But the Astronommy Tower is my favourite of the lot.
RandomSniper109 Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 My family will definitely be getting all of these but the one I’m excited for most in the burrow, such an improvement, actually has the right shape and the slight tilt is amazing :D
BrickBob Studpants Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 I‘m gonna pull a @just2good here and marry that Burrow set I really didn‘t expect it to be this much better than the original! It eats the old one for breakfast
ItamatTheGreat Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 does anyone know how the AT will connect to the rest of hogwarts?
Bernar Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 My thoughts on the sets: LOVE astronomy tower and the burrow! ROR is so much better than i thought it would be! Really good! The privet drive is good for me. The forbidden forrest: grawp isnt great, but he isnt terrible, for me is definetly solid! HATE the buildable hedwig!
sammy_zammy Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 Just noticed the colour of the cone holding the ski pole has changed from grey to green for the Astronomy Tower, grr

A little sad yes but at least now I can see the Diagon Alley photos so I can see whenever I buy the wave or Diagon Alley first.

I completely agree about literally everything! Though the more I think about it the more I think I will wait for a good sale on Privet Drive; I already have the Ford Anglia, Harry, Ron, and Dobby, and the house, itself, looks easy to MOC. If I'm buying a set for the Dursleys and the stickers, something's wrong with me.

They just seem to have a very different feel to them than the previous two waves. You know what I mean? Not in a bad way, just different

Not in a bad way, just different Marcos Bessa supervised the wave; I would guess that he personally designed the Burrow, but that's just conjecture on my part.

Honestly I think Grawp looks exceptionally accurate to the film
Zepthire Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 Haven't seen anyone discuss this yet. I terribly photoshopped the AT next to the Clock Tower and realised the towers are right next to each other and doesn't look right. Do you think the RoR will go between them or am I being silly? I can't wait to see what the official connected picture looks like. I really like the Grawp tbh, he's pretty cute looking. Brick built Hedwig would look better upright I feel, will bricklink the figure.
RandomSniper109 Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 I don’t get why everyone is hating on Hedwig so much, it’s a good cheap set that looks like an owl and has some kind of mechanical feature, I like it
deskp Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 i think lego usually designs/plans 2 years at a time? so this might just be the same people a little more experienced?
