Balrogofmorgoth Posted April 9, 2020 Posted April 9, 2020 (edited) Personally, I would hope that for $400 we could get several DA shops, Gringotts, Leaky Cauldron, and Borgin and Burke. Also, I hope something new leaks soon. It’s too quiet, and there’s still so much more to leak, if it happens at all by the time the sets are revealed at this point Edited April 9, 2020 by Balrogofmorgoth

The only thing I can see happening is Slugclub party Luna

Even Cedric leaked shortly before the reveal
DNSNVN01 Posted April 9, 2020 Posted April 9, 2020 I hope shops that aren't present in the d2c will still be represented in some way like a kiosk or cart for florean fortescues ice cream like the way they had a random hat stand in the last diagon alley. May be over ambitious but for $400 some random small builds included would be nice

The dark colors are basically same as Ollivanders. Everyone aware of this? : Streetview Obviously ignore the colorful lighting. Edited April 9, 2020 by deskp
thenudeorganist Posted April 9, 2020 Posted April 9, 2020 Do you guys think there is a chance for a ninth figure in the Astronomy Tower? Someone like Ginny, Cormac McLaggen or Blaise Zabini?

To be honest as long as there's a variety I don't really mind - they're not gonna be able to put everything so hopefully I'll be happy with what we do get. Or maybe hopefully I won't be happy and my bank account will be safe lol

If we get something similair to Cedric in the Clocktower last year it'll probably be Ginny

Someone like Ginny, Cormac McLaggen or Blaise Zabini? If anyone we'll get Ginny but I'd love to get a figure of Zabini. I liked that the 2018 line would pack in a random new student we had never seen in LEGO before with the castle sets (Seamus and Susan Bones) and included a few other new students with the minifigure line. It's a shame LEGO hasn't continued giving us less important students, I'd definitely trade the ROR Luna for someone new (I like Luna but do we need 4 of her after only 3 years of the reboot line?). I know some people have suggested giving us battle packs of unnamed students but I think randomly including less important students is the way to go.

Balrogofmorgoth Posted April 9, 2020 Posted April 9, 2020 I’m curious to see if set pictures will leak before the official reveal

Darth Shadowthrone Posted April 9, 2020 Posted April 9, 2020 Yeah I definitely prefer the inclusion of Luna in the Room of Requirement just for more minifigures in Ravenclaw torsos, I stupidly only got one of the Cho Chang CMF figure so am glad I get to add someone else who's visually from her house. Also I'm really intrigued by the Privet Drive set and how large it will be. Judging by the piece count it should be quite a substantial build but a lot of buildings in licensed sets are usually quite shallow. I'm really only expecting the front of the house, I doubt we'd get the back with the conservatory or anything like that. Maybe it will have a feature similar to the 2010 Burrow set with a few plates sticking out without walls to give it a larger interior. That way they could include the kitchen and living room space so they can recreate Dobby dropping to cake (just on the Dursleys instead of their guests like in the film)

I'll be surprised if the interior isn't at least 7 studs thick.

Like the Toy Shop.

Out of the 14 retail sets we've had so far, the only ones to leak early were Aragog and the Knight Bus, both of which were revealed very shortly after. That's an 86% success rate of not leaking.

Depends on what leaks you're referring to. There are leaks that everyone gets to see (and get posted on legoleaks) but sometimes there are leaked setpictures that don't end up there. I saw the Expecto Patronum set about a week before the reveal
Huigberts Builds Posted April 9, 2020 Posted April 9, 2020 21 hours ago, Guyon2002 said: Well to drive the discussion back to topic there is something Diagon Alley related we actually haven't discussed yet: exclusive printed parts. Magical Me? Shop signs? WWW products? Reuse of the path print from the GWP? What do you guys think we'll get? Note: new prints on figures don't count! I really liked the wand boxes in the old set for in Ollivander's shop. I believe they were stickers then but I really want them printed this time around. I also want some printed tiles for the floor patern in Gringotts, that would really add to the interior. As I think the previous interiors were always leaving things a little bit too much to the imagination. Most other things have already been mentioned.
