Accio Lego Posted September 1, 2019 Posted September 1, 2019 Picked up my calendar at my Lego store earlier. Now I just need to sit on my hands for the next three months.

Legoniche Posted September 2, 2019 Posted September 2, 2019 So I used some of my GCSE money to FINALLY buy the whole wave. Gotta say, the best builds for me had to be the clocktower, hagrids hut and the graveyard duel. The knight bus wasn’t that fun as it was repetitive, but luckily didn’t take too long. I found the beauxbaton carriage boring to build, and the horntail was fun to build, however the tent was bland. The dementor attack was very lovely to build. Waiting on my advent calendar, should come in a few days.

And November‘s probably the worst time imaginable to buy an advent calendar since that‘s when most regular people buy them for their kids Given how popular the WW theme has been so far, it‘s probably wise not to wait for too long to snag one

lego_guyon02 Posted September 3, 2019 Posted September 3, 2019 Just a heads up: LEGO just posted their growing sales / profit and Harry Potter isn't one of the top-selling themes. That's because they technically belong in 2HY. Just thought I'd share this before we start another discussion on such a small thing

As @Guyon2002 has pointed out, this year‘s sets aren‘t part of the report because they were 2HY releases The only WW sets that contributed to the 1HY report were last year‘s und they were of course outsold by new releases such as the Endgame sets that claimed one of the top 6 spots. I‘m pretty confident that WW will reclaim its spot in the 2HY report early next year

They keep all the most interesting data secret off-course, What would be more interesting is how many copies each set is selling or a top 10-20 best selling sets, a theme with 30 sets will do better than a theme with 5 sets even if the smaller theme sells more of each set..

Which makes Avengers' presence in the top-list even more suprising as it already is, it really looked like those sets sold very poorly

Lego Prince of Persia and lone ranger had nice sets, but the movies where not hits so I do not think the sets sold very well

The result of that will be that the shelves remain stocked constantly.
