Accio Lego Posted April 27, 2020 Posted April 27, 2020 7 minutes ago, ItamatTheGreat said: I have to say, even though the plot of the cursed child is really stupid - once I saw the actual play I fell in love. the show is absolutely amazing, and for most of the time the plot seems much more sensible then how it came on in the "book". I believe that it could make a really good movie with some minor adjustment, and then lego sets will not be far behind, which seems pretty exciting. That’s basically how I feel about it. When you read the script all you can notice is the gaping plot holes and how most of the characters from the books feel distinctly out of character, but when you actually see the play you can get swept up in the spectacle and the enthusiasm of the actors to the point you can overlook the writings shortcomings. That being said, the one problem with marketing CC merchandise is that the play itself isn’t really accessible to the majority of fans, so it’s designs and characters don’t illicit the same recognition as their movie counterparts. I think you’re right in saying the only way we’d get sets would be if a movie adaptation or official recording of the play was ever made available.
BrickBob Studpants Posted April 27, 2020 Posted April 27, 2020 Politics are a big no-go when it comes to TLG, so there‘s no chance they‘d ever release a non-historical president as a minifig.

I believe that, but no acting or spectacle could ever make me overlook the basic time-travel premise. There‘s just no fixing that And I think they‘re aware of how much fans dislike the plot, so I don‘t see them trying to adapt it to the big screen. Unless they do that, there‘s no chance of us ever getting sets based on it
ItamatTheGreat Posted April 27, 2020 Posted April 27, 2020 Yesterday I watched the order of the Phoenix again and I noticed that the harry minifigure from the leaked cmf bag is from the third act of that movie, all of the sequence in the ministry of magic, and not from the half blood prince as I have seen most people has been saying. I think that fact supports the idea of a small ministry of magic battle with dumbledore and voldemort, as harry from the cmf is a kind of add-on to that set.

That's why people were saying there's more than we know. There is no new Lego Harry Potter game, there is a new game in the works but it's rumoured to be an RPG based in the nineteenth century.

Lego has made the HBP one in the cmf.

He holds the Half-Blood Prince‘s copy of the Advanced Potion-Making book for crying out loud, that alone should tell you which installment this version of Harry is from

Did a Hogwarts greenhouse *amazing greenhouse image* Wow this is so cool! You’ve really nailed the roof shaping, and I love the details on the roof And the texture on the walls is nice too. 53 minutes ago, Legoniche said: Sneaky LEGO, they hides the leaks precious- GOLLUM, GOLLUM But we could try... her... yes precious! we could travel to her and takes the leaks, FOR MEEEEEE for us, precious yes yes, for us...

Harry has a lot of outfits that look very similar. I think the costume department did it on purpose honestly. After all, this is a teenage boy whose given nothing to wear except his much bigger cousin’s cast offs - he’s probably got a limited number of things that actually look good and fit.
fanoflego2409 Posted April 27, 2020 Posted April 27, 2020 So sets are going to be leaked next weekend?

Yeah, I think you're right. I also think that fact makes the cmf figure seem much more valuable, since it is present in a lot of screen time of at least two movies. But then you have to wonder - wouldn't it have been better of with a figure in the sets? They have done each wave at least one civilian clothes for each of the trio and that outfit seems to match that slate, and it could have come in so many sets - mom battle, grawp in the forest, hog's head.

It's definitely annoying that we haven't got to see them, but all the other set leaks have been really blurry, and if we do get official reveals this week, I think I'd prefer that to the blurry quality of the leaks so far, especially with being able to see the minifigs

I've been collating a big list of all the outfits worn throughout the films, and there is a real lack of variation through the later films for Harry - pretty much all the CMF look and a dark collar t-shirt, with a few different variations.

I get the lack of diversity when it comes to the movies. even though harry is mega-rich, he still has the mindset of a modest and poor child. he only buys the minimum he needs, and the fact that his clothes continue to be the same through different movies is a nice touch. having said, of course it is a bummer when it comes to lego minifigs and toys in general. there is nothing shiny and new and detailed about the outfits unlike the star wars or marvel or disney movies. a lot of the time in these movies there are outfits that are made so the toys will be interesting and appealing.

Yeah a lot of decisions in those movies are based off merchandise. Did you know George Lucas wanted to let Han Solo die in Return of the Jedi but didn't go through with it because he thought it would hurt toy sales?

Yeah, he kept the merchandising rights for those films the whole way through, so even when they weren't being made, he was still making money from all the toys. Crazy
