Does anybody else think the shark head and the Neptune tail thingy is useless? I guess you could use the tail on someone, though.

Time for someone to break the mold!

I absolutely despise this Harry Potter rubbish!!! Ok, so its not that bad. Well maybe... But the colours are absolutely awful!

Nice pictures though. 10 points for those.

Hmm... what I like in the HP sets are those tiles with the "wood structure" and the colors of the generic bricks. I could use the tiles for little huts and stuff and the bricks for houses. But there aren't enough in a box to justify a purchase. That would be a bit... excessive...

In general I'm not too happy with the HP sets. But that's a Town/Train head speaking...

To answer Cyclonis' question: yes, I also think those two pieces are useless outside that set.

I've been digging the Graveyard Duel and Hungarian Horntail for a while now.

I'll make a list of the cool and useful things I can see in each set:

Hungarian Horntail

- Blay mountain pieces

- 1x6 tan tiles with wood pattern

- Magnetic hand

- Burnt orange-colored bricks (rare)

- Metallic peg-leg

Graveyard Duel

- Light blay trash can

- Black hippogriff wings

- Large wagon wheels in new brown

- All-black skeleton

- Abundance of black chains

- Abundance of black 'railing'

- Bricks used in mausoleum

- Astounding piece/price ratio ($30)

Rescue From The Merpeople

- Flesh-colored arms/legs

- Red 'Dumbledore' hair

- Regular bricks in rare shades of blue (light, dark, trans)

- Rare sea creatures, including an extremely inventive use for a baker's hat - a jellyfish.

Durmstrang Ship

- Metallic gold window panes

- Dark red window frames

- Chrome gold 2x2 inverted dishes

- Black 'wooden' doors

- Black Falcon shields

- New shield design

- Accessories inside cabin

Hope that helps some of you see some value in the sets. ;)

Combine the two and you'd have the complete fish!

The fish tail may resurface if LEGO decided to pursue a mythological or similiar type of theme.

mmmm... the graveyard is something new....but it's a bit hard to incorporate it into my city sets...

the mermaid n the guy with the shark head are the minfigures that i must hv.... may buy them from bircklink or ebay though....not really interested in the sets....

Argh! DOWN WITH THE FLINSTSTONES, er, FLESHTONES, yeah, that's what I meant ;) . I absolutely hate fleshtones, I can't stand them. In my world, the Republic uses them as stinkin' slaves *satis* . Anyway, to get back on topic: the Graveyard is pretty cool if you destroy the fleshtones :^D . That One-Eyed Freak in the Hungarian Dragon thingy set looks pretty cool (although he's a fleshtone :( ) Just my 2 cents :-D .

I like HP,(can't understand why you don't :( ) I think Lego should have made more HP4 sets. The first year had a ton, the second year was good too, But the third year had hardly any, and now this, a measaly four. I still can use the pieces though. :D

Well, I'll probably pick up some sets, like the Hungarian and the Graveyard. I need fleshtones, otherwise my soldiers can't purge, burn or torture them. :^^D

I'm a HP fans, especially HP III LEGO sets. I have all of them but only a few from HP I and HP II.

So, before I see the pictures of the coming HP IV, I thought I wanted to buy them all no matter how it looks like.

But now I change my mind. The Durmstrang Ship is a bit too <insert that tiresome argument> and The Rescue from the Mermaid Ppl is too simple. Maybe I'll only buy the Graveyard when it's released in September. (However, if i have extra $, I'll buy them all just to complete my collection.)
