Kreacher, Slytherin Locket and Grimmauld Place... Could all appear in one set to be honest haha...

Just got my hands on the CMF They are absolutely fabulous! What a fabulous series, I'm truly happy with them now that I see them in the flesh! And once again, LEGO's customer service is top notch! Someone already mentioned this, but the LEGO Store in Paris sorted them out to avoid people touching the bags, and customers can ask for the ones they'd like, even getting them all at once should they want to

The way I see it, Gringotts not being included, that excludes Deathly Hallows completely. Borgin and Burkes not being in there also tells me that they really focus on the magical aspect of the Harry's first arrival. The description litteraly The only element hinting to a reference to any movie above Prisoner of Akaban is WWW. Now that doens't mean we won't get older variants that link into Half Blood Prince, but I could totally see them include Fred and George Variants like they did last time and not "waste" spots on trio variants.

Nope ahhaha, but I liked the picture

Ahahahah! To be fair, they're not even faithful to the Portrait of Lily and James included in Privet Drive. They updated the picture ever so slightly, adding James' scarf and sideburns for the CMF photograph, which is so much more detailled. I love it. I agree though, I'd much rather have good figures than meh designs to ressemble some sort of old drawing. Imagine all figures having to be based on previous designs from those sticker books. That'd be a bummer hahah

Nothing www.capes4minifigs.com can't fix Totally do agree with you though on the questionnable quality of that cloth

Those pictures and video review are great! Answered all our questions. I feel Kingsley's overal torso design isn't the greatest, looks a bit blank, but getting him in the first place is awesome. They're really growing on me Can't wait to get my hands on them... That is when LEGO will finally acknowledge they're all over the internet and stores

I get your frustration with some of them. Mrs Weasley I personally stick to the 2010 which is such a great figure. For Vernon, I used this customized version for ages before the official one, which I personnaly really like and will probably use now. And Lavender's torso design is great, not fond of the face or hair combo so switched back to my personal preference.

I was thinking that too. It's one of those obscure variants we talked about a few pages back. I guess they used the CMF Budget to make a new mould, because they can Her hair in CoS is quite wavy but no where near that mould. Not to mention the Burrow Set gave her the original hair, so I guess that's what we'll be getting if she ever shows up in a Cos Set. As for the new mould, it isn't unheard of a mould only ever showing up in a CMF, so who knows, we might see it pop up somewhere else, or might not...

Do you recall how they handled it? Or they just let it pass? Aaaaaaaaaaand that makes sense too hahaha Leaked publicity is free publicity in a way

Madness I always wonder in those kind of situations if at LEGO Headquarters all hell breaks lose and the community managers lose their minds

So LEGO is just not going to aknowledge that their entire CMF has basically leaked in pretty much HD pictures before their official release? Don't know much about leaking history accross other themes, is this a somewhat regular occurance or ?

Can anyone make out if Neville's robes are identical to Hermione's from series 1 ? It seems like he has some sort of brown sweater sticking out from underneath his robes but maybe it's just the picture. Odd to give him medium legs, when all the others now have normal legs (although I get that the Monster books hints at him being based on year three) Would have been great to get some regular legs with gryffindor robe printing, could have added some variety.

Some great figs! They defo put the most exciting ones on the front package. Then again, I'd say it was to be expected. Faithful to the standards of a Second Licensed CMF, some great new ones among a bunch of meh variants. They couldn't possibly top the first one, unless they had granted most of our wishes/predictions. The lack of Pomfrey, Crabbe, Goyle, Rita, Tonks, Lockard and Kreacher is a bummer. But as most have pointed out, some of those are still in the race for further sets. A lovely series altogether for any HP fan.
