Hm, maybe @Azani is onto something with his info. Why would TLG organise a VIP-exclusive Q&A event for a set that doesn‘t even have an early acess period?  Considering this, an early-access period around mid-September with a wide release on October 1st would sadly make sense  I wish we would’ve heard about that a lot earlier 

I’m just shocked not even the CMF have been revealed (not that we still need them to) At this point being surprised is better than expecting lol

Just to get lego most loyal fans even more hyped about this set. They are going to make a huge real about the reveal of this one so next week they will do a big livestream event or something! It is definitely coming out September 1st I'd bet money on it. 

The wait for the new DA set was killing me so much that I just went to ebay and grabbed the 2011 set. Going to keep me busy while I wait for the new one.

I'm jealous - I'd do the same if the old one wasn't just as expensive on eBay as the new one is gonna be

I just wish they were less secretive about it all. I don’t care as much about when it comes out as long as we just knew about the set and the details.

have they ever revealed a VIP early access set the day it becomes available for VIPs to buy?

Just the Aston Martin car that's pretty much it from my knowledge

No, they announce stuff at least 1 week before release

Well they did officially reveal the Fiat the day before it was released back in March.

Of course, by then the box had already leaked a month in advance.

I just want a reveal next week. I remember when boxes always leaked and TLG did reveals 2, 3 or even 4 weeks in advance.

I‘ve given up hoping for an official reveal anytime soon and instead look forward to some leaks  The way this is going, they‘re probably going to reveal it two days before its release, whenever that may be. This thing better be worth it 

I swear I was going to make a joke saying the set had leaked on IG

 

But I fear I might even get death threats if I dare to do it

It would be a fate worse than death 

Won’t they be going the Q&A thing before the reveal? So we oughtta wait for that first.

I'm assuming it'll be at the same time as the reveal - I can imagine them doing a "LEGO Harry Potter Q&A Live Stream" with DA being revealed at the end of it.

I only found a short article on thebrickfan about this Q&A. Does it have a set date or is it just "coming soon"?

There wasn't a date on it, it didn't even say "Coming Soon" . If I remember correctly, the form opened on a Friday and was closed by the end of the weekend.

I'm kinda bummed that Gringotts isn't included (will probably be the big set for the next wave with the Dragon Escape), I just hope that when they do release it, it'll fit in with the the D2C.

We are under the impression the omission of Gringotts is bc it will be a separate set which will go with DA. So no worries 

FYI, for those in the US, Zavvi is doing a deal for the Astronomy Tower and Hedwig for $125 total (with free shipping). Not a bad discount for anyone who hasn't gotten either of those yet.

Not sure, it just says "For a super limited time". I'd jump on it if you wanted these sets now. Zavvi also delivers ridiculously quickly, so you'd probably get them by like Wednesday of next week.

I think FalconFan said there information wasn't correct earlier.

I really think Lego should communicate better with their fans. This is just dreadful.

Why can’t they just say «Diagon Alley will be revealed/released X date»? They don’t have to reveal any pictures or other details. But that way we know what date to look forward to, instead of living in this uncertainty. 

On targets website the astronomy tower is still marked as coming soon on 8/14/2020 is that just me who isn't able to buy it or is it the same for other people?

Because we aren’t even supposed to know about this set and they have never done that before, why would they start now? Just because people are impatient doesn’t mean Lego is going to change, the average Joe fan doesn’t even know that the DA set is going to be a thing ??‍♂️
