Roebuck Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 (edited) There is a picture on instagram where it says the price for 71043 is 499,99 euro and expected in stock 1 of August not sure if that is correct Edit: found the page and they say: "LEGO 71043 Hogwarts Castle. Exact price and delivery time unknown!" So nevermind https://www.brickshop.nl/lego/lego-harry-potter/lego-71043-hogwarts-castle.html?Itemid=98 Edited July 5, 2018 by Roebuck New info Quote
Winkerbean Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 Any uk'ers i can confirm that the minifigures will be £3.99 in the UK Quote

rakky Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 I don’t believe that until I see it. Forbidden planet has them at pre-order for £2.99 and they always stock Lego at the market price. Where did you get £3.99 from? Also, I don’t think they’d sell as well. Quote
Winkerbean Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 (edited) I work for a large retailer and we have them on our warehouse system at £3.99 Edited July 5, 2018 by Winkerbean Quote
MAB Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 I doubt it. On ebay there are quite a few pre-orders for boxes at about £200 (pre-orders are nearly always RRP+). If they were £3.99 each, the pre-order price for a box would be £240+. Quote

They’ve been $3.99 in the US for years and sell just fine Quote
nikhkin Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 When they were £1.99 it was a great price. £2.99 was hard to justify for some of them. At £3.99 it's just absurd for a single minifigure. Just now, Balrogofmorgoth said: They’ve been $3.99 in the US for years and sell just fine $3.99 is not the same as £3.99. They may well sell just fine in America, but considering they were only £1.99 a couple of years ago people will not want to pay twice as much. Quote

nikhkin Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 Just now, Balrogofmorgoth said: Yeah $3.99 is more than £3.99... It really isn't. You should look into the current currency exchange rates. $3.99 is only about £3.02 at present, and paying £3.99 in the UK is the equivalent of paying $5.27 in the US. Even accounting for tax, the price of £3.99 is more than $3.99 Quote

DungeonsAndFlagons Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 So it looks like 71043 is going to be a micro scale set from what I can see on the internet. I have seen what appears to be micro figures for the set, not confirmed but I have seen them. Plus it does not make sense to have a giant 6000+ piece Hogwarts Castle when you already have two pieces in the Great Hall and Womping Willow sets. It makes more sense to sell minifig scale Hogwarts Castle in seperate sets to breakdown the cost and piece count. I just can't see LEGO bringing out two mining scale sets with a Great Hall or a Hogwarts Castle without a Great Hall. So my money is on 71043 being a micro scale set. Quote

Yeah, 71043 will definitely be micro scale. Question is, with 6000+ pieces, many of them probably very small, how big could it be? Is there a chart somewhere that shows the scale of the castle compared to a person? If it's in true scale with the microfigures, maybe a scale chart would be of help. Quote
