The Bellatrix minifigure can be seen beside the entrance of the bank. Just comparing the height of each floor and the minifigure, you can see the scale is smaller than 2020 DA. I sincerely hope I am wrong, though.

Although the pic is rough, unfortunately it is not hard to see that the scale doesn't match the 2020 DA. It is the new WWW scale so seems underwhelming.

Yeah definitely. I am just not sure if it is possible that the leaked sticker sheet is an "old version" of a previous iteration.

I still don't see where the stickers of those posters (including two Sirius posters) applied... could it be that they originally included Leaky Cauldron but removed it at the last minute?

Now I guess the stickers may be applied on the wall of Knockturn Alley entrance (between F&B and WWW). But I think I will not use them. Maybe someday I will mock my own Leaky Cauldron and apply those poster stickers.

I am ok with the pink color but it is just annoying that QQQ takes so much space (both in terms of width and height) but has so plain interior. It could have been much better if they saved the space and bricks to make a small Eeylop Owl Shop. I am ok with the minifigure selection, too. They don't have LC or Gringotts, so I guess that's pretty much what they can do. Including a few more random wizards will be better but we can always put it by ourselves.

I am still holding some slight hope... if there is no leaky cauldron, then why do they include those two Sirius wanted poster in the sticker sheet? They are just so fitting the leaky cauldron movie scene.

Mos Eisley is a pub as well, right?

Is it possible that the price is something else than $400? Maybe $500? Based on a $400 price tag, I would estimate the piece count <= 4500, given that we will likely to have 20+ minifigures. Here is my guess to the final list of shops and their piece counts: Gringotts - 750 pieces WWW - 750 pieces Ollivanders - 600 pieces Leaky Cauldron - 500 pieces B&B - 400 pieces QQQ - 400 pieces Scribbulus - 300 pieces Daily Prophet - 200 pieces FF Ice Cream - 200 pieces Finally we could have some small sections such as the owl selling area in 10217 - 200 pieces These sum up as 4300 pieces. Sincerely hope we can have a $500 DA so that we can have either more shops or more details... really want Madam Malkins and Eeylops Owl

I hope this means WWW is not included in DA - then it will definitely be released next year along with rest HBP sets, and DA's $400 budget can be distributed onto some other shops. Also I hope B&B will not be in DA as well so that next year we can see it standalone with the Knockturn Alley sign.

I remember 71043 had a teaser. Also considering that NES and piano both have teasers recently, I feel like either DA will have a teaser as well (so tomorrow we won't see a release), or DA is treated less important than sets with teasers...

I am very pessimistic about tomorrow now. I doubt LEGO really knows what they are doing.

My guess is 21317 is the steamboat willie and they are going to release it before tree house. The leaked minifigures suggest the boat is already in production. No way that treehouse could be 10+. Building the old fishing store is so easy but still 12+ and the treehouse is apparently much more complicated.

Indeed they are for sale, but I think it's because people stole them from the factory...

No problem :) Google translate is cool when doing paragraphs, but for short sentences it is totally different. Also, Chinese characters are so flexible that when people use them they do not often write a full "grammatically correct" sentence, which will be too hard for machine translator.

The top right text means "free shipping for purchase over 100rmb". The middle text is the name of the shop selling this minifigure...

I think in China Lego is only targeting at people "above middle class", which are typically people whose annual income is above ¥200k in Metropolitans like Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen ... or above ¥100k in some other big cities. For Lepin, they actually did quite a nice advertisement for Lego because they let the people with lower income also have the chance to get a touch with Lego designs, and those people will buy Lego as soon as they can afford it because everyone knows Lepin is illegal and of no value at all.

1. The left upper white text: "The biggest and the most collectible MF model in Lego Star Wars history. The complicated and detailed spaceship is amazing." 2. The right upper white text in the red circle: "Exclusively available in October at Lego Certified Store." (Although "限量" means "limited", however in terms of lego products it is usually translated from "exclusive") 3. The right lower white small text: "75192 UCS MF, 7500 pieces, 84cm x 56cm x 21cm, for age >16, ¥8499". I believe this is real because I've never seen this MOC before. The style and fonts of this poster is also quite typical in Chinese Lego stores. Moreover, the Chinese text on the poster is actually "not that Chinese". In other words, the word choosing and the way it organizes the sentences is more common seen when translating foreign languages.(I believe it can only be told by a native Chinese speaker who also reads a lot of translated novels, but I am sure). In terms of the price... the lego retail price in China is insane: ¥2299 for 70751 and 75060，¥3899 for 71040 and 75827，for example. So ¥8499 means that the US retail price should be $799.
