The Real Walkers

Hi all, I'm looking for couples to talk about a potential feature article in Blocks, the LEGO magazine for fans, that explores how people have used LEGO bricks in their weddings. If this is you, or will be you in the near future, please get in touch! Anthony

Stratford has none. Birmingham has loads (supposedly).

Just a quick flag that apparently the Griffindor Dormitory set has been appearing in some LEGO stores for normal sale in the UK. If anyone sees one, do think of me (please)...!

Why? Ignorance, dear Kallus. I completely forgot the animal kingdoms were a thing (oops) - I've written to amend and thanks for the point!

At the risk of putting my ahead above the parapet, here's a quick article I wrote for Blocks that outlines 5 ideas for sets based on No Way Home. Obviously, MAJOR spoilers for the film: https://blocksmag.com/lego-sets-we-need-from-spider-man-no-way-home/

Thanks both! I found a box in Sainsbury's (a supermarket in the UK) when they first came out but was tired and didn't want to spend the money then (plus I really wanted Wanda, who was gone)... needless to say I regret that now I need to find six of the set...!

Looking into the new year, how long do people think I'd have to get the collectible mini figures? Barely seen these in store in the UK and have a number I'd really like to find, but if they're going to be no longer available within a month or two, I'll probably try and source another way!

It's not shown but it wouldn't take too much: I believe older games just had muggle objects in glass cabinets (rubber ducks, anyone?!) etc etc. But in the wider scheme, I'd be very surprised if it comes out...

Re classes, the only two that remain that could be different would be Muggle Studies and Care of Magical Creatures. Given the teacher of the former is murdered at the beginning of DH1 and the class forms a minimal part of the books, I doubt there'd be much there. If they were ever to invest in DH2, it could be interesting to see the Carrow twins receiving books - DADA and MS - but again since they tortured students/spread essentially racist anti-muggle sentiment, I doubt there'd be much chance of that happening. I agree re Umbridge's office. The Troll attack would be a classic. It does feel like we've reached a point where 95% of rooms have been covered since the re-launch, but obviously this soft reboot gives some opportunity. If the next series is POA/GoF focused, there's not loads that comes to mind: Remus's classroom (boggart cupboard would be great), prefect's bathroom, Griffindor Common room with Fat Lady portrait (YES PLEASE!)? If the focus does shift to films 3 and 4, then actually we might see a move away from the castle: Shrieking Shack, Task 2, Task 3, etc. I guess we should also expect Hagrid's Hut to be remade in the coming year or two also.

It might be nice to have Polyjuice Potion jumping into the CoS below so it's quite a tower, but that'll mean there's a 1/3 of the space left to fill... as someone said above, I reckon they'll bring something else out to go below this set. Otherwise, I actually quite like it and enjoy its different look!!

Oh that's a good point - I've not looked at Flying Lesson closely enough clearly! What a bugger...

Is it me, or does the 'clocktower' set look like it slightly curves in? I wonder how it'd look on top of the First Flying Lesson set, although the grander style of the top won't really match. Playing around and getting it all to fit might be interesting. I really like the Divination set. The Moments are a surprisingly good series of sets imo and Divination is distinct enough (the drapes, etc) for the aesthetic here to work; DADA, however, is just another classroom.

Anyone else slightly jaded at the quality of the What If sets now the finale has aired - no spoilers, but much more could've been done...

Is there any chance of a golden Malfoy coming with the GWP? Just to really annoy people...

Perhaps impossible, but if a third wave were to happen, I wonder if a Hogwarts statue would be included... a direct link to DH, of course, but random and weird enough to not impact any later sets in a serious way... Highly unlikely, but the thought just occurred to me...
