I can’t understand how the Duelling club is more expensive than the charms class, looking at them that makes no sense, there must be something disproportionate about the cost of the rubber cape and the printed tiles vs sticker sheet etc

I would love this if nothing else for another iteration of much needed MG Dumbledore! They missed a trick not having a black recolour of the wand pack with the Malfoy Manor set, it would have suited very well with almost half the wands being used for characters. That and also forgetting the important mirror shard Harry carries, otherwise a very well done location set.

I think they could recolour the existing one in black for her outfit she wears around the castle and in the Great Hall, the hat is a similar shape and we just have to ignore the earmuffs

I think the CMF tops out for me: Less saturated colour for the coat/body neutral face expression vs the angry scowl from the book set unique duel-moulded flask/maraca is nicer than the simple black part

I like the dimensions of the front of the Mannor, they got the outline done well and it’s packed with details like the railings, snake heads etc, loads of windows. Minifigure count is good but I 2nd the disappointment in absence of DH Ron for 2nd time, the posable legs for all figures is likely to have them all sit around a long table. The peackoks, fountain and statue are nice additions One odd thing is the absence of wands, I see only 2 black ones in the image and then the white one. This would have been the ideal set to include a black recolour of the wand pack from Olivandar’s this year

Lego bricks and pieces has had an update with new parts, of note: Fat Fryer grey hair, troll blue arms and hands and Professor Vector hat/hair from The Great Hall set Mini owl number 22 From friends Gold and trans orange unprinted mini dragons from Ninjago Brown Hair, Igor’s torso print and Krum’s torso print also surprisingly from the Durmstrang Ship The new potion bottles and bubbles from the Potions class (very expensive though)

U.K. collector here, I was pleased to find the series in my local WH Smith/Toys R Us. I grabbed 5 randoms for the first dive and got a Dragonborn, Tiefling, Aarakocra and a duplicate two witches! Looking at the prices on eBay and discussion here looks I was lucky getting the knight figure without scanning. Mu goal is to get a complete series and 2 mindflayers i hope I he series sells well and they renew for a 2nd, what’s your wish lists for a CMF series 2? I hope for another Dragonbone in a different colour and class, a centaur (they need to reuse that mould in more colours). I’m not that familiar with DnD characters and lore

The new singer ghost in the AC on its own is amazing, 3 new prints and a recolour of an uncommon part is exceptional! And it’s not even a named character! , I wish we could get Lockhart, Slughorn and other teacher variants this way with this much detail, it makes up somewhat for no CMF#3.

In the blurry photo I can identify two pigs I think and what is I’m sure a new dark grey flying owl (an official Errol), it’s on the right side posed on the new Marvel heroes curved posing rod/bar. The yellow thing in the hand of one of the figures on the left might be a rubber duck.

I see some rumours that the diagon alley shops might be micro scale, is there anything to back this up? Personally I’m hoping to expand on the recent two shops sets and carry on at the same price a couple more times. 200 for system scale is rather high for me but if it’s got about 6 shops in it and lots of great figures, without repeating WWW or Olivanders then I might go for it.

I hope the Flitwick in the Charms class has the Dwalin beard again and not the cheap Santa beard like the Advent Calendar Unrelated to the discussion but this weekend I have finally opened and built my copy of 12 Grimmauld Place, I enjoy the model and the minifigure selection is great with lots of exclusive prints, and of course Kreacher! I just noticed that the back of the box depicts two printed news paper tiles but the set only has one, oops Lego! I wish they had done a tie-in Advent calendar for it, it’s a bit late now to do one but I’m still hopeful we could get a OotP calendar. Ideally containing: Aphelios Doge Sirius Black (ministry battle suit) Death Eater (repeat from the Gringotts set) Kreacher repeated to give a chance for families who can’t afford the big set. Arthur Weasley with a bandage etc Ron with an existing dog mould cast in trans glitter for his patronus Another kitchen unit to fit in the empty space around the table, Christmas decorations, toy Santa etc
