Balrogofmorgoth

Ok so I’m gonna have to get two of some of these CMF. Moody and Graves obviously because each one is really two characters (it’s gonna suck finding two Graves figures, but a quest is a quest!), I’ll get two of Cho so I can use a Ravenclaw torso and black medium legs to make a uniformed Luna out of my 2010 version. I also might try to make a Gryffindor uniform version of Neville using Harry’s torso and legs or maybe I’ll just go with the Gryffindor sweater. I also find it a little weird having a young Seamus and an older Dean (the two are best friends) so I might try to make an older version of Seamus and a younger version of Dean that way I have two different versions of both! I also might get two Kowalski’s because that gray suit might work really well for a custom MCU Justin Hammer

I really like the Crouch face, I saw a lot of complaints about the tongue but personally I feel like it captures his deranged look very well, with that tongue flick he does

I know and it’s frustrating because I will need two of him, one for Graves, one for Grindelwald. Same with Moody though he will be easier to obtain

My mistake. I miscalculated in my conversion, that’s on me. Sorry for stepping on some toes, wasn’t my intent

Yeah $3.99 is more than £3.99...

They’ve been $3.99 in the US for years and sell just fine

Seeing as the D2C will most likely be revealed sometime between now and SDCC, I’m honestly shocked we haven’t gotten more leaks from it

I’m so excited for the Michael Gambon Dumbledore. I really hoped we would get both versions but my hopes weren’t very high. However, Lego has surprised me yet again! Love the Richard Harris version but Michael Gambon is Dumbledore considering he’s in it for much longer (despite some unfortunate inaccurate moments which is due to the writers and not the actor)

In my experience, the same generally goes for the US. Ive always gotten backorders sooner than expected

I want them to announce the D2C soon because I need to start coming up with a plan. My closest Lego store is about 3 hours away in Phoenix so I have to make the trip count. I’ll probably pick up Quantum Realm Explorers too if they have it, seeing as I still haven’t seen it at any retailer. I got all the new HP sets already at Target except Hogwarts Express which I ended up ordering online from Lego. Now my sights are set on CMFs and the D2C. Once they’re released, I hope Walmart and Target get plenty of the CMFs right away so I can start hunting, I’m going after all 22, and 2 each of Graves and Moody, seeing as both are two in one. I think the two FB sets will be easier to get our hands on as they likely won’t be in as high demand as these HP sets

Anyone know if there’s a chance that the CMF series could come out a little early? In a couple weeks maybe? It would be nice to see them out ASAP. It’ll take a while feeling that many bags to find them all, especially if (as rumored) there’s one that’s a lot harder to find than the others

Went back to Target for the Hogwarts Express and they said they sold out online and weren’t getting anymore in. Luckily, there are still left at Lego so I ordered one. Double VIP points? I think yes

The mouth is visible on the back but that’s it I love the new McGonnogall minifigure but after having it in person, it would be much better with the new dress piece instead of legs, as much as I love printed legs

I got to Target when they opened and they only had one of each of Whomping Willow and Great Hall, two of Quidditch Match, and two cases full of Aragog’s Lair. No Hogwarts Express but they said they’re expecting more sets tomorrow so fingers crossed! Just missing the one!

It’s terrible, this has been the longest week ever, and yesterday went so slowly I though time had stopped. Today has only been going fairly quickly due to the LOTR movies. I can’t wait. I hope target has all of them.

That would obviously be the best choice under the circumstances, but I finally got my wife to start reading the books and we’ve been watching the movies as she finishes each book, so I’m already working through the Harry Potter movies. Plus Lord of the Rings is my favorite movie series of all time Ha!

I knew today was going to be an excruciatingly long day because of my insane anticipation of getting the new Harry Potter sets tomorrow, so I’m passing the day by having an extended edition Lord of the Rings trilogy marathon. That’ll make it go quickly enough!

Possibly, but I always thought that getting them at the store in person adds so much to the experience of it. Either way, good luck to you too! I asked an employee at Target if they would be stocked when they open. He said probably but if they aren’t I can ask for them and they will bring them to me from storage. He said they won’t stock them until they have enough to fill a section of the shelf but I can still request them from the back as long as it’s not before the release

I can’t help but feel like there will be more Fantastic Beasts sets from the new movie. It seems too odd that there is only one to promote it (the suitcase is from the first movie). And the fact that we haven’t seen a young Dumbledore minifigure yet tells me there is something else. I feel like there will be a bigger fall wave of sets or a January wave for this movie. And I would be delighted if some more HP sets accompanied them that soon but that’s doubtful I will be waiting at the door to Target on Sunday morning when they open. I can’t wait any longer than I absolutely have to. I live in a pretty small area so I shouldn’t have to fight too many people to get to them

It’s definitely brown in the films...

Does it bother anyone else that the Elder Wand (depicted three times, one on each dumbledore and one on Grindelwald) is tan and not brown? I will definitely be replacing each one with a brown wand

Now can they finally just reveal the D2C??? I hate how mysterious it has to be. It’s been long enough, come on

What’s the point of being a VIP if I only get early access to useless sets?

Normal sets are July 1 Those are both total wastes of early VIP access. Especially the car. It should be HP

Since the D2C is rumored to include minifigures of the four Hogwarts founders, I think it would be amazing if Slytherin came with the locket, Hufflepuff came with the cup, Ravenclaw came with the diadem, and Gryffindor came with the sword (I know it’s not a Horcrux but Voldemort never got a chance to make a Gryffindor Horcrux and the sword still fits as it can destroy them)
