Hogwarts

Wow, they really went out all out with these sets to try and fit so much in! That graveyard scene is DARK - never would I have expected so much stuff like the old design DE and baby Voldy in its set. Amazing! Gonna be so annoyed if this theme ends here.

People have a right to be annoyed. I would be.

Uh oh!

The Last of Us

Hungarian Horntail Triwizard Challenge I understand the disappointment with this set, but overall I actually think it's pretty good. The tent is quite nice in real life, and the dragon isn't as bad as I first thought (although its body looks blocky). The minifigs are all nice (except Fleur's face and Krum's face and hair) and the golden egg is lovely! Minifigures Dragon Expecto Patronum For the price, especially, this is a really great set. The build is nice but the minifgures are the main focus, and Sirius is great and that patronus is amazing! Minifigures

Hogwarts Clock Tower This is a really gorgeous set. The interiors are so genius! I do wish the DADA classroom was bigger and that the chalk board could be flipped to have a picture of the boggart wardrobe. Dumbledore's office actually looks great with a little fix (see below). The figures are fantastic except Krum's face/hair, Fleur's hair and I am still torn on Hermione's hair. I also wish we could have gotten a small pendulum on the bottom floor. But would absolutely recommend this one! Pictures are under the spoilers Pushing the desk back a bit gives the office a bit more room for figures Minifigures Vignettes with other figures Connected to last year's castles Hagrid's Hut This is an amazing set! Definitely my favourite of all of the Huts released by Lego. On official pictures I always thought the interior looked sparse, but in real life it looks a lot better. The light brick looks good, the minifgures are all wonderful and Buckbeak is beautiful! Would absolutely recommend. Minifigures Vignettes with other figures Knight Bus It's a nice set but it's never really excited me. I do think this is the best version by Lego so far, but it almost feels like it needs something else to improve on the previous one like all the rest of the sets have had (like maybe No.4 Privet Drive). The minifigures are brilliant (although it irks me that Stan and Ernie got new prints when Fleur and Krum didn't), and I wish we got the Grim! Minifigures

Sure! I'm going to put up a mini review tomorrow or Friday. :)

It could really mean anything - the different release dates for different territories, the fact that some sets might be available in some shops but not others (the way it used to say 'subject to availability'), or indeed that the older sets are being fazed out - so let's not get ahead of ourselves thinking this theme is dead. What I will say is that I built all 5 sets over the course of yesterday and today and they are SPECTACULAR. Very, very impressed.

They aren't going to discontinue the theme. It only means that the old sets now have limited availability.

It did have some padding in.

Arrived this afternoon!

I ordered all 5 sets from Smyths online (UK) and they're arriving tomorrow!
