I will look this up, as I’m pretty much ignorant of this process. The base they use to produce the molds in is really expensive, they don't buy new machines for every new piece they create. That would be really cost-inefficient

(Insert Name Here) Posted April 18, 2020 Posted April 18, 2020 1 hour ago, Huigberts Builds said: That actually works really well. I just wish the piece had some printing like the Filch piece. I remember in 2018 someone said Slughorn looked more like the one from the flashbacks, which is kinda true. Especially with the unprinted hair in the AT. I kind of agree. If they did use the more bald piece, I would definitely want a bit of printing. I think it might still look odd, as it might look a bit slicked down like Filch's did. Guess he's just a tricky character to Lego-afy. Same with Umbridge's hair in my opinion, I'm not sure it quite fits, or it could be the face printing.
autolycus Posted April 18, 2020 Posted April 18, 2020 Not a 2020 set, but I'm starting to worry that I've missed the couple of very short windows to get the 75954 Hogwarts Great Hall at a discount. I assume it's going to retire this year, and now suspect that a lot of sets are going to be out of stock much earlier than normal for retiring sets because of the weird distribution issues and surge in set buying thanks to covid-19. It's been out of stock everywhere in the US for at least 2-3 weeks now. I'm hoping maybe it's such a popular set, and that Lego considers it so integral to the line that they make sure it's around and in stock in a little longer. Thankfully the Great Hall is the only 2018 set I don't have yet. I'm in good shape on the 2019 sets, needing just Hagrid's Hut and the Clock Tower. Anybody with an inside scoop on future restocks, retirement expectations, etc.? I assume all of the 2018 sets that haven't retired yet will in 2020? But will the Great Hall be restocked most places, or is it likely already done for? I'm worrying over nothing, probably, right? The other sets I'm a little worried about are some Ideas sets and the Roller Coaster. I still need Assembly Square also, but I can't imagine that one being done already. Yes, I can't help it, I'm constantly behind a year! It usually works out ok though because I get many of my large sets on discount on May 4 and Black Friday! :)
Crookshanks Posted April 18, 2020 Posted April 18, 2020 I hope that the Astronomy tower and the Private drive set looks good and it's have a nice buildingsexperience and easy can inspire me for my MOCs. I'm really curios on the buildable Hedwig set. How it would look with the other hp lego. I'm happy thats the minifigures we have seen, patronus and especially the centatures looks really good! My hope is that Graup will look ok.. I want to use him for a "Troll in the bathroom" moc..

Long story short the 2018 sets are most likely all going to retire in late 2020 with a possible exception for the Great Hall considering how important it is (not counting the D2C, which will obviously stick around a little longer).

Such a waste of a cmf. Ah I see, thank you. 1 hour ago, Otherworld said: 1. I don’t know, but many of the CMF’s printing looks cheaper in quality, I imagine the bricktober pack was made where the CMFs are usually made. By cheaper I don’t mean awful, but the prints are smudgier/thicker as opposed to set quality, where prints come out much finer (this is NOT in every case though) 2. As far as I know (I could be dead wrong, so take it with a grain of salt) a new mold means setting up another line of production (machine), which is super expensive, in case they don’t replace another mold. I will look this up, as I’m pretty much ignorant of this process. 1. I see, for some reason I assumed set minifigs were more cheaply made! 2.

I worked in a plastics factory over the summer and they changed the colours and then also changed the molds in the machines. I offer no inside scoops on how they make Lego bricks - I was sat at the end of a conveyor packing bottles into boxes for 8 hours. As you can imagine I had the time of my life. But I can tell you all about the different types of faults plastics can get! ;)

Yes, I can't help it, I'm constantly behind a year! It usually works out ok though because I get many of my large sets on discount on May 4 and Black Friday! :) I would look at this site, it predicts what will be listed as "retiring soon" on the Lego website https://retiringsets.com/lego-retiring-soon/ I wouldn't worry about the Great Hall, as Guyon said. It's out of stock due to covid yes, but I assume it's as the factories are closed. It's still a popular set. But like the other 2018 sets, it will retire like all Lego sets do, and we can expect this to be in 2020 just based on other sets/themes (I'm not sure why it's listed on the above site when other sets in the theme aren't). But you'll have plenty of time - it will be listed as "retiring soon", then will retire on Lego Shop, then will retire elsewhere. It will also be on discount again - sign up to price alerts, and also deals websites and you'll almost certainly be able to nab it. Also keep an eye on other countries' Amazons - I normally order from Amazon UK obviously but Amazon DE is often cheaper. And also, when it's in the final phase of retiring elsewhere, they'll all probably put some clearance offers on if you're lucky. But I wouldn't risk it if I were you. Put it this way - Aragog's Lair retired months ago and it's still available at one or two shops here. Roller Coaster is also listed as at risk of retirement, as it's nearly two years old. I'm not sure what you mean by "already" for Assembly Square - it's over 3 years old now, and they've got 4 modulars on the go right now - so I'd hurry if you want that one. But again, it's not even listed as retiring soon on lego S@H so no need to panic. Also I'm a year behind too lol, although trying to catch up so I can get some awesome new stuff!

Especially of the Hogwarts castle that i don't have. Great hall and Hogwarts express is the another two i miss. I really want the treehouse and i've seen other speculated it probably will be retired (and the assembly square to, luckily i'm not interest).. I'm little stressed to. I think many of the smaller sets will be retired, maybe some of the from 2019 to. My guess is that the great hall don't get retired this year. 7 minutes ago, Guyon2002 said: That's going to be a gigantic bathroom then The bathroom maybe will get an extra high roof then :D But i will skip it if he looks crap..
MaxHeadroom Posted April 18, 2020 Posted April 18, 2020 https://imgur.com/57YXo1p Getting a bit off topic but here's a photo I took awhile back with every minifigure scale Great Hall. The 2018 one definitely has the best details but I think I prefer the 2010's overall shape.
Legoman123 Posted April 18, 2020 Posted April 18, 2020 Hopefully with the amount of leaks we are getting from HP we will see the sets very soon.

Up to you, depends what you want!

Balrogofmorgoth Posted April 18, 2020 Posted April 18, 2020 Nice to be getting concrete details now! A Lupin from HBP would have been great (gotta nitpick something) but this set is going to be a day one purchase for sure. I’m interested if Ginny will be in her bathrobe or if they’ll pick an outfit from another scene
