I have already this set and I have to say that new version of Privet Drive is excellent. I was skeptical about this construction, but it is really awesome. The only thing that I do not like is Ford Anglia, but overall it is great set. Fun fact that building is almost the same height as buildable Graup.
Melle_24 Posted May 30, 2020 Posted May 30, 2020 (edited) So if the DA set that Kingnono confirmed is actually fake, we cracked our heads for hints and filled like 150 pages for nothing, it would be such a letdown Edited May 30, 2020 by Melle_24

Honestly why do we have to keep saying this so many times in a single day
Falconfan1414 Posted May 30, 2020 Posted May 30, 2020 Actually the $400 set was first found through a website listing. I can’t remember the website
Bernar Posted May 30, 2020 Posted May 30, 2020 (edited) I’m not sure (so correct me if i’m wrong) but i think we heard first about the 400$ DA from Paul Seeley (people here said he was a trusted leaker) in the middle of march he announced a small HP wave with two sets: one of 100$ (which setnumber turned out to be the one of the burrow) and another of 400$, which he said might be DA Edited May 30, 2020 by Bernar

If you have to sweat, sweat the small details

dvt Posted May 30, 2020 Posted May 30, 2020 Good reminder that “confirmed” means officially announced from TLG. Anything and everyone outside of that is a rumor.

Too bad about the other two alleged sets (75978 and the GWP), but it's not like this is the final year of the theme. There's still potential for some of the first 6 movies to be revisited alongside the DH1+2 sets next year

It makes me really glad there's only 1 wave a year so they can space it out and keep it going for longer!

Whilst I do believe that FB is the reason they have redone the HP theme, I don’t think FB is keeping it relevant, I think Harry Potter is doing that all itself, I mean there are more Harry Potter toys out now than I have ever seen in my 22 years of life, there’s the “Harry Potter at Home” reads on Spotify, there has been 1 wave with no FB sets and another this year, HP has enough to go for years without FB ☺️

Interest in HP has skyrocketed since even more people have discovered it through Fantastic Beasts. LEGO just decided to give this theme another shot and stumbled across a hidden goldmine.

I’m not doubting that, but if you look at the people that were kids when Harry Potter first came out (myself for example) we are now old enough to be buying the sets and things ourselves, so I definitely think that helps, especially with the lack of popularity of FB, or at least FB 2 (I love both of them ?)

FB was a stepping stone for the return of the HP theme, but it's absolutely not necessary for the theme to continue What I don't get though is why they waited for CoG instead of reviving the theme in 2016. Sure, there were the Dimensions sets, but they still could've brought it back right then and there

Huigberts Builds Posted May 30, 2020 Posted May 30, 2020 Well I've been back from a long break from EU. But I've catched up now. I'm really scared about the D2C DA now that kingnono has made a huge mistake as he was the only one who gave us any info on the set being system or micro scaled (except for FalconFan's april fools quiz on which we didn't get the answers yet xD), so now the micro scale is back on the table as someone mentioned before. 8 hours ago, Legoniche said: All I’m gunna say is- remember the random blocker last year, remember the many that gave solid andtrue info that was scoffed at or deemed lies. It’s a common theme in this thread to be too quick to doubt or judge people. And then after everyone’s all like ‘oh..... guess.... guess we were wrong about them huh. Well errr...... we won’t do it again..... s... o.... r..... r..... y....’ . So let’s not be hasty to bash this guy alright. Thank you Well that's actually one of the very reasons why we were so open minded about kingnono's posts at first as with randomblocker most of us shot him down from the very start. But other than randomblocker, kingnono actually gave wrong info, which is a huge red flag, and so is him not responding after more than a day. So I really don't think we're too hasty this time around. Still we haven't shot him down completely yet, we just ordered a ton of salt to take his info with :p.

Wait until the official reveal. Discussing hints is a waste of time. After all, the sets are already on production, knowing in advance what comes in each set doesnt change a thing about them The fact that you pay so much attention to "hints" is the reason why this keeps happening
