Do new pieces that are in production for an unreleased set typically leak via the minifigure building stations? I don’t get to root around in my local Lego store often, but usually when I see new elements in there it’s after they’ve been released in whatever they were originally made for. 

Well this piece hasn’t been made in a set yet and I doubt they would make pieces for it that are that rare. I’ve never seen something like that before

But in Paris i found Helga Huffelpufs new skirt piece but without printing, i dont think that piece comes in another set and the mold was very new so i think it could be true.

They sometimes do exclusive recolors for the build-a-minifig stands. Only thing they don't do (as far as I know) are exclusive prints

Well, they do existing prints in new colors, but yeah, nothing entirely new.

[Legoniche]

I’m expecting the set images to be officially revealed May 1st

But that part is already in production for that figure in that color. They just use the extras that don’t get printed for the build a minifig tables

They also do unique parts, as, at the same time the brown Moody hair started showing up, so did a dark blue variant of the Series 12 Wizard's hat, and a light tan version of the Mariachi guitar.. That's confirms that these stations can have exclusive parts, and this Moody hair is likely one of them.

They do, but it seems very rare. The only instance I’ve seen is an exclusive print mime head. It has triangles above & below the eyes.

Ron has leaked. (Better look)

That face looks bad.

Why do you think so? It looks pretty good for a somewhat distressed or quizzical teenage Ron to me. Definitely displays personality better than the CMF one. I'm looking forward to seeing the other side as well.

[Legoniche]

we’ve already gotten a look at rons other face- Dm me if you want to see (@legoandphotography) also I think the reason why the head doesn’t look as great as it could do is that the hairpiece is bringing it down- if you replace it with the CMF hair it’s bound to look great. Also in the image they gave Ron the dark tan legs- in the set he will have the dark grey legs and harry will have the dark tan legs 

 

also rons second face is pretty good

I think Ron looks perfectly fine. Recognizable enough, as far as Lego faces go. I’m really excited about those tan medium legs. If they really do belong to Harry and not Ron, I’ll be using one out of the two or three identical Harry’s we’re getting to replace Hermione’s tan short legs from the Express with medium ones. The dark gray ones are nice too though, both are very useful 

[HalfBloodPrince]

Rons face needs his freckles and something about that face does not look like ron from POA and looks more like Half Blood Prince Ron.

[Henry Bricklider]

Ron’s lack of freckles is strange, but it is a suitable face for the character, I am really not a stickler for movie accuracy, I just want a good representation of the characters. I’ll probably end up using the CMF hairpiece on the new figure.

Same. That hair piece worked perfectly, it’s really the only change needed to this figure in my opinion

So now the only two figures left to leak are hermione in her Yule Ball outfit and Hagrid (if he will even have a new version) right? Isn’t it a little odd for pretty much all the figures and molds to leak and not have an official reveal? I can’t remember; how did the leaks go with the last wave? How much had we already seen before the official reveal?

 

I’d hope we get a reveal soon, I’m really exited for this wave! The only set I’m missing from last years wave is the large midi scale Hogwarts (including the bricktober pack and Diagon Alley!) which I’m planning on getting soon. 

I’m really exited to see the Horntail and the clock tower.

If I recall we didn’t get any real leaks from the Great Hall, because that had official pictures released way ahead of time. We miraculously didn’t get any leaks for the Hogwarts Express either, and there wasn’t much in the way of Fantastic Beasts leaks. 

That being said, new molds that aren’t part of minifigures don’t often leak, Buckbeak and the stag patronus are exceptions because they’re so big (and pretty). Last year we didn’t get any leaks for the new thunderbird and occamy parts, so I expect there are horntail pieces we won’t see until the official photos. There’s also supposed to be a new dog in the Hagrid’s Hut set. So there’s plenty to look forward to

Last year, the Great Hall and the FB carriage were revealed very early but we did eventually see some leaked images from them as well. I do remember several minifigs leaking from the other sets way before the reveal though. All four minifigs from the FB Suitcase set leaked. Snape, Harry and Ron From Aragog’s lair, Filch, all the Quidditch minifigs, even Ollivander from the promotional Diagon Alley set leaked very early, as well as (surprising as it is) the CMF Voldemort. Nothing from the Express leaked I don’t think, unless you count the exact same variations of Harry and Ron from the Aragog set. The Bricktober pack also leaked early. I’m pretty sure that’s it. 

[Legoniche]

The dementor, and even CMF Voldemort leakedk I remember them vividly, I was on work experience and constantly checking the leak pages and saw them, those two leaked in May

We still haven't seen everything of yule ball Ron and Stan Shunpike yet, and if the rumored graveyard is true we haven't seen anything of that either. So still a lot to look forward to.

And whatever figures are in the unknown $15 set and the advent calender.

I’m pretty sure he was only talking about the June wave

[Legoniche]

We’ll probably only see figures for the other waves snd svent calendar leak after we have official images for the June wave 

[Legoniche]

I was thinking about dementors in Lego HPL we’ll Only get 1 in the expecto patronum set, and it got me thinking, where else will we get a dementor, unless we get another section of hogwarts based on POA, or a £12-£20 dementor attack set from the opening of order of the Phoenix with Dudley, there probably won’t be any other set with a dementor, I’m hoping we get a dementor in the advent calendar, because I really want to army build these new dementors, I got all 3 from the 2010-11 line, but that’s really not much, 2 is really bad amount, but seeing as the expecto patronum set isn’t really cheap, They might be one bricklink for really cheap

We might get more dementors in a Battle of Hogwarts set. The new PoA Dementor looks great, but I hope we'll get one of the hoodless OotP/DH dementors as well.
