I missed a lot of this series, but I saw some people saying that it's better not to buy an electronic Mario in late 2024 because there "was" a chance they'll release a new version that can be charged. Is that true? I think it might be just a rumor. I was going to get a basic mario but not sure if i should wait or not

In [eu] we have lots of cheap "book+minifigure" on amazon. They usually go for 4-8 eur. And you can get multiples of those to get los of HP-related pieces and robes. I usually see these books as the new "characters and accessory packs" of these days. We still have a 4eur book witht the best Lucius Malfoy (prints all over him including legs) that outshines the Manor and Burkes Lucius. Check amazon by writing "lego minifigure book harry potter" - maybe you will find some cheap options, combining which, you will get a "multipack" price by buying several Nevilles (also comes with herbology book and other stuff) or something like that

The price of this set makes me curious about pieces or the size of the house. I wonder if we will have something to make Marge into floating ball (maybe there will be brick built variant of her body). And will they give Harry screaming super angry head?

After lego made a BioLizard I think this line is crazy enough to give us most of the stuff. Just say it outloud 5 years ago. "a Lego Biolizard playset where you smash the button and super sonic hits the Biolizard and makes a part of it fly out" - it would sound unrealistic. But we got it. I wouldn't be surprised if we will get Mighty or other characters. The only problem is Bigfig ones (Hector/Big)... i think Lego is kind of careful with super exclusive big figs these days. Dr.Eggman is kind of a bigfig but he's a very important key character that is supposed to appear in many sets. But don't get me wrong - i'm very much hoping that we will get Big the Cat. That new Jakks Pacific action figure of him was amazing and I hope to get a Lego version!

Yeah my brain playing tricks on me. For some reason i forgot it's not just another Privet Drive but that specific aunt's visit. Either way my set will probably have Dobby in a process of throwing lots of things at her, haha.

I don't think the "niche" theme can put an effect on the minifiigure demand. Castle/fantasy is also kind of a niche theme for example (we don't even have any new popular movies in that genre - just some TV-shows on streaming platforms...i would say that even Horror genre is more alive than Fantasy or "Medieval" genre of pop culture). SteamPunk guy is just a cool minifigure that looks awesome - this is one of the main factors that makes a minifigure desirable. You see him and you think "oh nice!!".

I really hope the new Dursley's house will have a new Dobby face print - more cheeky and playful because that scene supposed to portray him levitating that cake.

Italy is good for kind of the same reason - there are a lot of really small towns and villages where you can always get something rare and interesting. I personally never had problems with this wave. So happy with it. Been collecting CMFs since that "Pirate minifigure" as I remember. And this is the first collection where i love every single minifigure and wanted multiples of them because all of them are basically a bunch of accessories to make all kinds of characters. From wings of aracocra warrior to elf ears and dragonborn armor - everything is super useful. And some pieces intended to be collected in multiples (black rats for Dishonored game MOC for example, or those eye pieces and etc.)

Love seeing Nexo Knights discussion. I army build nexo knights and always happy to see some other people doing that too. We are in a timeline when it's super easy to do that.

those prints are amazing and will be used in so many mocs and i'm so glad to get that Lochart torso. Feels good to be a lego harry potter fan these days.

Thanks for reaching out and for the information! Seems that we will be more mixed/chaotic sets release. (set from the next year connects to the late year set, and etc.) I wonder how many greenhouses we'll get in that part of Herbology. But we won't know for a while

The flying lesson set is from another part of Hogwarts. Judging by big sets appearances (from left (The great Hall) to right) - the set with Flying Lesson connection should appear at the very end of this line with this huge open space part: -> The Picture (i saw it on reddit somewhere and saved. can't find the original post) It's reasonable that flying lesson part is somewhere away with lots of space to fly around. So it's not that close to The Great Hall.

So glad I jumped on the "most detailed castle" train at the moment when he had just started the procession. There was always something holding me back from joining this line in the past (parents didn't buy the big set and then university takes too much time to care), but now that it's in full swing with all these giant sets and additional modular "classes", new versions, it's time to enjoy this franchise in a lego version. If the first year we had an expensive Hogwarts set with the iconic monster of the first film, then it makes sense that the Tower should come with a Basilisk? But the tower itself is incredibly huge (it's supposedly the largest/tallest building in Hogwarts?)... The main question - will there be enough space and (more important) budget for a new Chamber of Secrets and a new "monster mold"? (and then again-the C.o.S. located close to the Great Hall, not the tower...) The new Fluffy and Basilisk are my main interests at this point. They made the new Troll, the new Aragog... it's logical that they will do the doggie and a snek.

is there at least 1 reason why it will? It's not only super forgotten-it's also kinda controversal (it was basically South Park for smaller kids). Why would Lego ever touch this tv-show. If they will they might as well do Ren and Stimpy minifigure series haha

Oh yeah i was so happy to see that update! so gonna use these wings to make scary Biblically Accurate Angels
