However they could at some point don the road do dumbledore's office as the tower in the great hall was more for storage and didn't contain a proper version of his office. Also Lego isn't necessarily going to stick to the same scale for all the sets in this wave (not to say that I think that list was true by any means). 35 minutes ago, The Dangerous HC said: Personally I hope they make this version of Hagrid for the Hagrid’s Hut set; Is that what he wore when he became care of magical creatures teacher? Sorry it's been a while since I have seen the movies

Oh yeah, I absolutely get that, they could do a Dumbledore’s office build, what I meant (and I know it wasn’t written like this so I understand the confusion) was that we won’t be getting a Dumbledore’s office in the initial waves of sets, I could see it being something they revisit once they’ve done the 8 films/7 school years of sets Just now, legogoblin2099 said: Is that what he wore when he became care of magical creatures teacher? Sorry it's been a while since I have seen the movies It is indeed, that’s why I’d love to get it because the Hut is based on film 3 so I think Hagrid’s look should be too

I would love to get that version of Hagrid as it would fit the scene that lego was going for really well.

No problem, when I confuse someone by not explaining myself properly I like to make sure I half the confusion, haha, but I totally agree that the version of Hagrid picture above would be amazing to get as it would go well with the PoA sets, my only issue is how they’d do it, in the first 2 films Hagrid wears a long coat (hence the long coat mould) whereas in PoA his clothes are fairly short (normal shirt and trousers) so it might be awkward to mould or not look that good

And Quidditch Match has always been available anywhere. I bought mine from Walmart right at the beginning
Whovastron Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 (edited) I believe the Hogwarts Express May have originally been intended as a TRU Exclusive. However, much like other sets last year like the Jurassic World T-Rex Transport, it just got a kind of staggered release. in the uk, it was initially only at Argos, much like T-Rex Transport was Exclusive (to John Lewis think?). But then became available elsewhere gradually, and now pretty much everywhere sells it EDIT: disclaimer, just my own thoughts, not backed up by anything Edited March 4, 2019 by Whovastron

I din't think that hogwatrs express was an exclusive because usually exclusives stay available at one retailer.

The current mold has been made for a long overcoat, which he doesn't wear as a teacher. But lego very rarely cares about such things so its possible
BigHobbit Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 Target had Hogwarts Express as a retailer exclusive for the first month, and then other stores got it. Everyone was right!

Pretty sure the Hogwarts Express is a retailer exclusive. Unless you’ve seen it somewhere other than barnes & noble (and apparently target and Walmart? It’s not available for small toy stores to stock - it’s likely it was meant to be toys r us exclusive). iirc the Quidditch match is retailer exclusive for Target (and maybe Walmart). The news that they were coming last year came out somewhat after the retailer catalog leaks (and maybe even the set names/descriptions?), but exactly what they were remained under wraps for a while. The Quidditch set leaked before the actual release (someone lets slip it was a ‘sporty’ set and some of the figures leaked) but there were a lot of people convinced the second retailer exclusive was a Knight Bus set up until the official press release bitofanastyshockforthemwhentheyfoundout Point is, finding out about 2 retailer exclusives now (since one of those ‘confidentials’ is apparently the Knight Bus) is pretty in line with last year, and it’s likely we won’t get any more info until Lego says so. Note: guys can we please stop arguing about what stores these sets are exclusive to. It’s likely one or both were meant for tRu and that messed up distribution (the entire Harry Potter release schedule got messed up by the shutdown). In any case, I haven’t seen either at smaller toy stores that aren’t nation wide chains and isn’t that who the retailer catalogs are geared towards?

I know I’ve seen Quidditch Match at Target, Walmart, Barnes and Noble, and small local toy stores so it’s definitely not an exclusive. But yeah pointless debate to begin with I suppose. I love the fact that we’re getting a small August wave, I feel like it’s an excellent step towards getting two full waves every year Edited March 4, 2019 by Balrogofmorgoth
