hagridshut Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 (edited) I'm very happy with this 2020 wave of Harry Potter sets. In particular, The Burrow and The Astronomy Tower are beautiful in their colors and detail. I don't know if they'll fit into my budget, but I'm sure they will make collectors and children alike very happy! The brick-built Hedwig seems to be the most controversial. I don't think LEGO intends this to be a high volume set, as it is not play oriented, and it is a Barnes & Noble exclusive in the U.S. market. I see it more as a display piece/collector's item. I do like it, although it wouldn't rank high on my purchase list, since it is not a minifigure scale set. Edited April 28, 2020 by hagridshut
UKFan922 Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 We desperately need a new McGonagall with a printed skirt and a new hair/hat piece.

I'm gay but I personally hate the idea of the "LGBT community anyway," I'm an individual. But anyway, I don't feel the need to tell anyone who I prefer to date. Let's not inject far-left identity politics into Lego. It's one of the only safe spaces left away from that. I love this post Just now, UKFan922 said: We desperately need a new McGonagall with a printed skirt and a new hair/hat piece. Yes please!!

I hope we get a green skirt at some point, and a version of her in her black robes during DH sets (the printing wouldn't be needed as much on a black skirt). I desperately want to know if there's another set lurking like the rumour.

Ah yes that should work. I'm amazed of how many details I keep finding. I only just now noticed Ron also has a sticker on his sheets. Also I really hope we get some better pictures for the weasley family picture. I guess that's the first time we see something of Bill, Charlie and Percy in a set. 38 minutes ago, sebastian666 said: I encourage everyone to check out Marcos Bessa’s latest Instagram post about the set reveals. Marcos is the 31-year-old Design Lead for the LEGO Harry Potter series and, as an out and proud member of the LGBTQ community, he is a huge personal inspiration. Marcos mentions all the designers of the sets and explains the logic behind some design choices (like the white door frames). Check it out: That's interesting, definitely gonna check it out. 31 minutes ago, Guyon2002 said: Ugh, why can't LEGO just price sets the same between the Netherlands and Germany. AT is 10 euro and Privet DRive 5 euro more expensive for absolutely no reason... Not again that makes absolutely no sense. And it's not like we're gonna get any good sales either.

I actually hope we'll get her in her black robes, just for variety and because I've always liked that outfit. But an updated year 1 & 2 McGonagall like they are doing with Dumbledore in the CMF this year is always welcome. Just now, Huigberts Builds said: I'm amazed of how many details I keep finding.

HalfBloodPrince Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 (edited) Why does everyone think we are getting a Chamber of Secrets? Is there a extra set number left? Even if there is, It probs is the Ministry set. Edited April 28, 2020 by HalfBloodPrince

Yes, there's a rumoured set number. It's rumoured to be Ministry of Magic or Chamber of Secrets but I think both of those are just speculation really.

UKFan922 Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 OK, I just had a look through my existing minifigs to compare the new fig pictures. Harry and Ron in No.4 are exactly the same as in the WW. Ron's torso in Burrow is exactly the same as in Hagrid's Hut. Umbridge's normal face looks nearly exactly the same as in Bricktober except the lines are thinner and she's missing a mole on her chin; her alternate face is different (a scream compared to a scowl). Slughor's face looks exactly the same on both sides as Bricktober except the lines are way thinner.

If there are 1-5 more sets, RIP My wallet
Brickity Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 I must say this section of Hogwarts is my favorite so far, it’s full of details and rooms I personally liked the inclusion of the sand green, it makes it look more vibrant. The tower facade definitely looks a lot flatter when you compare it to the clock tower, but the side build, the turret, the green house and interiors make up for it. The burrow, man... I have no words, it puts the 2010 one to shame, and that one was stunning when it came out. It’s perfect!! The room of requirements surprised me in the sense that I didn’t expect it to have an “exterior” and I’m very very pleased with the interior. I might have to get a second one to use it as a common room or something, or maybe to just add some more depth. The forbidden forest is okay, I mean the main focus are the characters. I think Grawp is well done. I don’t care about privet drive however, and honestly I wouldn’t even be willing to pay half the price for it (Still too expensive in pesos) Now to the minifigs. Honestly 95% of my excitement comes from the sets themselves, the figs are the least exciting aspect to me; they’re okay, but I specially despise the ones from the burrow. That Ginny is horrendous IMO, and looks straight out of Jurassic World. As her first appearance since the reboot, this is unfair to her lol. Absolutely hate that face print and its second cringe expression, they both look a lot like Fleur’s gestures (daring smile/cringe) I see they made her christmas outfit instead of the bathrobe; that’s a very plain outfit and the bathrobe would’ve been more interesting. Arthur and Fenrir are a slight improvement, specially their torso prints; Tonks looks pretty boring; they literally had the possibility of making Hermione’s hair in orange yet they chose an inaccurate one to recolor. Bellatrix is a downgrade and Harry is okay.

RogueTwo Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 LEGO Shop just changed all the USA release dates to August. I'm so angry at the incompetence and corporate politics of this release.

Legoman123 Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 It’s odd how we keep getting dorms rather than common rooms don’t you think? I personally hope we get a set with the fat lady guarding the Gryffindor Common room, with a stair case leading up to the Gryffindor dorms, both of which being very spacious. I was hoping that would be the case with the AT as it would look better if it was just one room taller, that way we could get the Ravenclaw common room as well.
2lazeetomakeaname Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO July was bad enough, but AUGUST?!?! This is so stupid. 2 years in a row, all of NA just gets screwed for literally no reason
