And I personally think just like the Helicarrier it will have some figs that are exclusive. DON'T QUOTE ME ON THIS. JUST A THOUGHT. Just want to be clear. Nothing is confirmed yet.Â

June 19, 20186 yr It is interesting that AFOLs are complaining about an architecture style set, which could be a decent large small-scale model with no play features. Often AFOLs complain about too many play features, making them appeal to juniors, at the expense of detail. Yet if it is a detailed set based on the architecture, it should have been something else. Â LEGO was never going to be able to make a full Hogwarts at minifigure scale. If they go minfiigure scale, they miss buildings and correct scale, if they go microscale they miss play features.
June 19, 20186 yr I'm sorry, kinda new to all of this, but what is the difference between nano and micro figs? Â

June 19, 20186 yr I really don’t understand making Hogwarts microscale. Why would they ignore what the community wants? Here’s to hoping the bootleggers learn from this and produce something we actually want.Â

June 19, 20186 yr A lot of people are complaining, but I am sure a lot of people are also happy. Personally, a nano-scale Hogwarts would make a much nicer display piece. As for the UCS / Not-UCS argument. Technically UCS only refers to Star Wars sets, but that doesn't mean the Helicarrier isn't the equivalent of UCS for the Marvel license.
June 19, 20186 yr Nanofigures are like the ones from the Saturn V while Microfigures are 2 studs high.Â

June 19, 20186 yr Wow, well my hope for this set just died down a lot. I liked the helicarrier and I'm sure the set will still be pretty cool but I think it would have been way better if it was a normal set. Oh well, that rumored UCS Cloud City set is looking better now.
June 19, 20186 yr A lot of you are saying you're not interested any more.  Out of curiosity, why are you against the idea of the micro-scale Hogwarts?Â
June 19, 20186 yr At least this opens up the opportunity for more parts to Hogwarts like Whomping Willow

And if you want fakes, then buy fakes.  Â
