I don’t see any Pygmy Puffs in the set pictures. Have any of the reviews mentioned them?

I read that too.  Haven't seen anything to confirm.  If Lego had included the Magical Menagerie (pet shop), then I would have been expecting a new mold for the creature.  As it is, I am not getting my hopes up.

 

Do any of you know the exact time when Diagon Alley will be available to purchase?

I’ll be waiting a couple of days to a week as well.  Too busy breaking down sets that need to make way for this one.  That’ll take a while because I put everything back in numbered zip lock bags that match the original bag numbers. 

Ha, yeah, I'm a combination of both these reasons. I'm moving house and as a result having to break down all my sets too.

USA (East coast) doesn't appear to be participating in the 1 hour early site activation, like other locations have seen.  So, my guess is midnight.

I think that is most likely when it will go up.

30 mins US East Coasters... How many of us are there on here anyway? I feel like the Americans have taken over EuroBricks this summer!

I'm not ordering online it but I'm still excited to see everyone get theirs. 25 min!

You wouldn't believe how tense I (and probably many others) are at the moment.

It's like waiting for the last few seconds of an eBay auction before you place your bid! Rofl. Hopefully it goes as smoothly for you Americans as it did for us Aussies! :-D

Haha I can believe it, this is the moment we've been anticipating for months! But it'll be fine, I'll be shocked if it goes out of stock within 30 min of it becoming available.

Great write up on the set here including some prototype images of the new elements:

I hope so as well!

I just want the CMF to hurry up and arrive in my local area. I've got Kmart, Target and Woolworths pages all open for them and been refreshing them like 50 times a day checking for stock. Been doing it for over a week now! Hahaha!

I'm too old to be tense about this set release.  If I don't buy it tonight, I'll buy it before work tomorrow.  If somehow Lego sells out, then I'll buy it on backorder...  It's going to be a Christmas gift, so the "I GOTTA HAVE IT NOW" factor is... below average (hey, someone has to compensate for all the OCD/ADD/Anxiety I've seen posted here tonight!)

30 minutes for the US West Coasters as well !... 

15 more minutes!

Anyone ordering anything else tonight? Or just DA by itself

Just DA for me.

I ordered $50 worth of short legs, hair and heads for making additional students. And some mid legs for the Hogwarts Express trio. Got them all planned out. :-D

Also bought a Hagrid and Buckbeak Brickheadz! :-D

Probably will get the Burrow right away as well, since that should be made available at the same time!

Maybe Hedwig for the daughter.  I think he’s cute as well, but she loves owls and HP...  Easy scoring “points” with her that way... ?

I’m getting the Razor Crest for my brother

I might grab a couple minifigures from the CMF just for fun, if they are indeed releasing at the same time.

You mean the "Mandalorian Bounty Hunter Transport? :-D

 

Nice! Well, good luck all, it should be released any second now (usually it's just before midnight )
