Last year Barnes and Nobel had an exclusive window to sell the sets before anyone else in the US. Maybe there is a similar arrangement this year where the sets won't go to smaller retailers on June 1st, and that's why we aren't seeing leaks from smaller retailers. I'd be surprised how ever if a retailer had an exclusive window world wide. Nah, that would be a weird move as a lot of countries won't have access to certain retailers.

Even though she's barely in the movie I love Katie Bell I think one of the biggest problems when wishlisting Harry Potter characters we’d like to see lego make is that there are so many beloved characters whose roles were cut in the movies, sometimes entirely. And every character is special when it comes to wanting an official version of them. We as AFOLs might be able to bricklink any extra parts we want to throw together custom minifigures, but the same cannot be said for Lego’s target audience of children, who are still out there discovering the books and falling in love with/seeing themselves in characters like Lee and Angelina and Katie and all the other minor characters that you complain would just be more uniform torsos.

The only figures we havent seen yet are the Burrow figures (excluding Bellatrix and Greyback), AT Hermione, AT Draco and AT Neville (please correct me if I missed someone) Well, we still have to see what the remaining 17 figures look like, excluding Grawp. (3 from the AT, 2 from the RoR, 1 from the FF, 5 from PV and 6 from the burrow) Not to mention the rumoured extra set? (Not getting my hopes up) Some of these are super predictable and seemingly uninteresting such as Harry and Hermione from the RoR, but still...
ItamatTheGreat Posted April 27, 2020 Posted April 27, 2020 Kingnono just posted that the sets will be available for preorder may the 4th AND that the photos will probably be uploaded 30th.

Huigberts Builds Posted April 27, 2020 Posted April 27, 2020 Which event was he talking about though? Anything coming up the next few days? Besides Star Wars day? Either way this is pretty exciting, although it's just a prediction so it could also be sooner or later. Either way I noticed he said "prepare fireworks". Interesting choice of words. Knowing kingnono, could it be another hint? Fred and George maybe?

I'd be surprised how ever if a retailer had an exclusive window world wide. That's definetely not the reason. I don't know how things are in the rest of Europe but here in the Netherlands there is no such thing as a shop exclusive (only the D2C's at S@H for the first few months) Just now, Otherworld said: Well, we still have to see what the remaining 17 figures look like, excluding Grawp.

Falconfan1414 Posted April 27, 2020 Posted April 27, 2020 Again the 30th was his guess he didn’t say they are officially releasing then. I would put the release in that time frame but don’t be surprised if they are slightly before the 30th or slightly after
lego_guyon02 Posted April 27, 2020 Posted April 27, 2020 So that would mean we'll get the pictures (probably) somewhere between upcoming thursday and monday

Well, as long as we gain the images I don't really care.
THELEGOBATMAN Posted April 27, 2020 Posted April 27, 2020 (edited) That's great to hear. Lego mut really believe in this theme to make such an event from those sets, which I love. I hope this theme never ends, or not anytime soon at least. Edited April 27, 2020 by THELEGOBATMAN

The Weasley twins are the only relevant connection to fireworks I can think of, and it’s not exactly a normal phrase to use otherwise. Maybe Diagon Alley will be revealed a lot sooner than we think?
UKFan922 Posted April 27, 2020 Posted April 27, 2020 I hope they announce more than just those 4 sets and the buildable Hedwig. I hope they go all out and show us the Burrow and any other sets - we've waited long enough. I understand the DA, CMFs and Advent calendar can wait (and it will be nice to look forwards to them anyway).

Six (possibly seven) June sets (RoR, FF, PD, AT, Burrow and Hedwig, plus possibly a retailer exclusive), then CMF in August, and after that DA and Advent Calendar in September.
Balrogofmorgoth Posted April 27, 2020 Posted April 27, 2020 Don’t get me wrong, I’m still refreshing legoleaks every 10 minutes
