notpennysboat Posted June 19, 2018 Posted June 19, 2018 I've been surprised by brickbuild Fawkes in the Great Hall, do you think it could be a new Fawkes mould in the D2C ? The FB set 1 was the very first set of the line discovered, while we still don't have official images for FB set 2 and Aragog, that new calendar seems logical. Quote

Clone OPatra Posted June 19, 2018 Posted June 19, 2018 HEY! We already exhausted the D2C will it be won’t it be Hogwarts talk. Please don’t carry it on until there’s any actual new information to go on. Thanks. Quote
Whovastron Posted June 19, 2018 Posted June 19, 2018 (edited) A little theory I have (may have mentioned before) about the D2C; is that the Great Hall and Whomping Willow sets are previews of the two different ways the D2C will be constructed. in the Great Hall Set we have a large “iconic” building. Both the tower and hall are connected and not able to detach from one another. now, in the Whomping Willow Set, if you look at the different sections, there are grey 1x2s with technique pin holes spread about he separate structures, making this a very modular set. From what I can tell it can be separated into 4; the large tower, the bridge/arch, and the two small towers/walls that are near enough identical from the outside. much like how the Hoth Attack Set previewed the trench in Assault on Hoth. I think these sets are a taster for how the modular nature of the D2C will work. There will be large “iconic” buildings, say 5 or 6, that have high detail and have the technique bricks either side. And then along with these you get a multitude of various sized towers and bridges/arches, probably similar in design to the ones in the Whomping Willow Set, that can be used to configure the castle to whichever way you like. Additionally, this could make people buy multiples of the Willow Set, in order to gain a few more towers and walls to add to their Hogwarts configuration what dyou guys think??

It sounds good, but 5 or 6 large buildings might be a little too much to hope for. Quote

Aren't all new sets in demand? Changing dates are probably due to either earlier production or more likely the original dates were just preliminary. Quidditch is already out in the UK, so in that and the range has already been released. Edited June 19, 2018 by MAB Quote
Captain America Posted June 19, 2018 Posted June 19, 2018 I'm curious why some believe the D2C might be diagon alley, when a version was released in 2011 and still looks great. New iterations are welcome but $500 seems like a lot for diagon alley, unless it is very detailed and large scale. Quote
LegoAndDisney Posted June 19, 2018 Posted June 19, 2018 There's no way a UCS would be so expensive and be Diagon Alley - I refuse to believe it. Quote
Falconfan1414 Posted June 19, 2018 Posted June 19, 2018 UCS is Hogwarts but I have bad news, it’s microscale Quote

Microfigures technically are in scale with the great hall exterior Edited June 19, 2018 by Whovastron Quote
RealGeronimo11 Posted June 19, 2018 Posted June 19, 2018 (edited) It's annoying that it's microscale because this takes away the possibility of having sets of more obscure parts of the castle Edited June 19, 2018 by RealGeronimo11 Quote
Praetorian_Guard Posted June 19, 2018 Posted June 19, 2018 Maybe it´s built on rocks like in the movie and we have some interior inside the rocks and a stand with some minifigures. Quote
GoldenNinja3000 Posted June 19, 2018 Posted June 19, 2018 I saw on someone’s Instagram story that it’s $350-450. I’m really mad about it being micro scale. I’ve been saving since February and I was hoping for a large playable castle! Quote

I guess, at least they can focus on stuff like the Chamber of Secrets in other sets to connect together Quote

It would dwarf the latest falcon, and would have to be tens of thousands of bricks. At least this way we get one cohesive Hogwarts, hopefully built into the mountains (something you would never get in the playsets) and hopefully, possiibilty for the chamber, and room for the grounds including stadium, Hagrid's hut, etc. Can't wait to see it!!!!!

Whovastron Posted June 19, 2018 Posted June 19, 2018 Until we see pictures I’m taking this with a large grain of salt. People seem to be believing the HP leaks way too quickly, and a lot of them have turned out wrong. Quote
Falconfan1414 Posted June 19, 2018 Posted June 19, 2018 So when I say microscale, I mean like the helicarrier. It is also based on books 1-7 I’m pretty sure Quote

I can agree to some extent but even the Falcon you can still play with figures and you won't be able to do this with the Hogwarts Quote
