Honestly I hope they don’t do much of a rock base, because then that’s a third of the pieces just for the base. I would rather get my money’s worth of castle and not rocks.

That image got me so excited. I’m really glad the microscale news leaked a while back so I had time to process my disappointment which eventually turned back into overwhelming excitement. Getting that info early was very good, now there won’t be a big shock when it’s actually revealed

Agreed. It could be Target trying to take advantage of being the only retailer to carry them for now (mine doesn’t even have them yet, or the polybags for that matter)

As much as I hate the price increase, I suppose I should have expected it with a licensed CMF series. I’m sure this was harder to achieve than TLBM ones, there are more licensing issues at play

Ok serious question here. I see a lot of CMFs being posted on Instagram. Are that many people really finding them already? Or am I missing something? Is it just not as many as it looks like? Because it really looks like a lot of people are finding them and I don’t get it. I haven’t even caught a whiff of them yet...

Is my Target the only one that doesn’t carry the new HP polybags???

I'm really excited about future Fantastic Beasts sets, particularly since we are still missing several key characters to the new film. I'm wondering when the next wave will be.

Plus the image was taken down. Why remove it if it wasn’t real?

Jude Law said in an interview that he’s aware Dumbledore taught Transfiguration, but that the character hasn’t gotten to that point yet in the story

EXCELLENT It hasn’t happened yet. They’ll show it later

So we can theorize about 2019 sets here?

Is there a 2019 Harry Potter discussion thread yet?

Excellent. I was worried about all the recent rumors about it being between $350 and $400 because that would mean a smaller castle but closer to $500 makes me feel a lot better because they can do more justice to it. It may mean I have to sacrifice Cloud City but so be it

How are so many people already getting their hands on the CMFs? I haven’t seen any

Ugh that’s disappointing. If it doesn’t end up being there then, like others have said, it’ll probably be revealed July 31

Yes I know that was over the top, I apologize. I’m recognize that I’m getting very impatient with this set. It’s been rumored for SO LONG and I’m tired of hearing rumors. I literally just want to see the details of the set for myself. I get overly passionate when it comes to Lego and Harry Potter. My bad, seriously, I know I need to chill. You’re not the first ones to have to call me out. Thanks for pointing it out. All I can do now is sit and wait.

True but then again, Lego has so many strong themes right now, they may decide to go all out this year

I’m still very curious about that Ollivander minifigure that leaked a while back. It doesn’t look like it’s a polybag (bit of an odd character to have in a polybag anyway) and unless it’s in the D2C, which doesn’t seem likely, my only reasonable guess is that he’s in a set from the next wave. I’m asking because I honestly don’t know, but is it possible for a leak to appear that soon? Would the alleged set be finished enough for that kind of leak? If so, does it make it likely that the set would appear earlier in the year? Because I have a very hard time believing that a minifigure could leak from a set that won’t be released until more than a year from said leak. Thoughts? (It’s relevant because the leak appeared in 2018)

Yeah I know. I just can’t help but lose my mind a little when a set I’m looking forward to this much due to rumors that started a longgggggg time ago is this close to being revealed and sets like the Aston Martin that I don’t care about at all (it’s fine that other people do) are being revealed instead. I’m just tired of hearing nothing but rumors. I just want to see it, what it comes with, all the details, minifigs, etc. even if the rumors are completely accurate, it’s one thing to hear about possibilities, and another to actually see the final product. I fully accept that I am way too impatient about it

The only thing we know is that there are nanofigures. The rest is literally all heresay and speculation. I want real, confirmed, solid, factual information from Lego.

I’m getting sick of this complete lack of information on the D2C. What are you waiting for? If they don’t reveal it in the next couple days I’m gonna be really pissed

Gotcha. I wasn’t sure when the Cloud City release was going to be. I know the last couple big UCS sets were October releases but it wasn’t always like that so I didn’t know what to expect

Does anyone else think it likely that the UCS Cloud City and the Harry Potter D2C will be revealed around the same time? Or do you think one will be revealed a few weeks after the other?

Like others have said, I think they just used short legs in the Hogwarts Express so that they would fit better with the other sets and to save th medium legs for the CMF. However, although I believe the Harry, Ron, and Hermione CMF are supposed to be from year 3, you can really make them whatever you want, even mix and match parts to fit your vision for each one. Personally, between the 2010-2011 versions, dimensions, and these, I’m trying to make at least one version of the main trio from each movie, so that almost every variant of them is represented

All three of them are meant to be year 3, even though Harry looks more like year 4
