10or Posted June 23, 2020 Posted June 23, 2020 (edited) In the US so trying to fill the void of waiting for the set releases... Ginny finally made it to Hogwarts (thanks to BrickLink). Still not sure about that face... Edited June 23, 2020 by 10or

Ginny finally made it to Hogwarts (thanks to BrickLink). Still not sure about that face... The alternate expression is great for a scared Ginny, but the smirk is just too evil looking. I've been using the original smiling Claire face from the first Jurassic World 75917 Raptor Rampage as a young CoS Ginny, and the Claire face from the Jurassic World bricktober pack for a teenage Ginny.

I hadn't actually thought of a build for the troll being like that but it would definitely work! The head could be printed like the X Men Sentinel and the body could be a bit more slender with Mixel ball joints too. What a brilliant build. A Philosopher's Stone set with the exterior of the right hand side of Hogwarts with the Bell Towers opposite from the Great Hall could be a great place for a full-on First Year magical creatures and challenges set, with a Brick-Built Troll, Fluffy, Devil's Snare, Chess and the Confrontation with Quirrel. To pad out the figures it could even include a green space with Oliver Wood for Harry's first Quidditch training. The reason I thought of this part of Hogwarts too is that it's really long in between the towers, which could fit the Corridor leading to Fluffy with the challenges underneath. Also it would fit right behind the gatehouse section of the castle included in The Astronomy Tower.

I did the same at the end of May, I used Dean Thomas’s scarf torso instead though and swapped the hands to make Ginny. I want to get a second Susan Bones face to make her COS variant too. I also got another Rey/Lavender face but put the wavy CMF Pop Star hair on like in the Lego game but until I can get some more Astronomy Tower Draco’s her legs will be too short.

Falconfan1414 Posted June 24, 2020 Posted June 24, 2020 Just so I don’t get blamed if nothing comes tomorrow. I wasn’t hinting at anything with my story, it was just a statement. It could come tomorrow but the only part we have heard what it is coming this week is that one random instagramer. So we will wait and see

Personally if they do Malfoy Manor I Hope it is a (simplified) facade of the entire building, so then it can look good displayed along with the other houses (Burrow, Privet Drive etc)

I’m not sure how big that is, but the inside was a letdown, so if they can do it without the internals being terrible then sure, if not then noooo thanks ??

RogueTwo Posted June 24, 2020 Posted June 24, 2020 (edited) Since the CMF could be revealed in a matter of hours, I'm going to list my predictions for the remaining seven. They may not be original, but they are my own opinion: 1. Harry Potter/Gregory Goyle Polyjuice (accessory: extra hairpiece) 2. Ron Weasley/Vincent Crabbe Polyjuice (accessory: extra hairpiece) 3. Hermione Granger in Gryffindor t-shirt (from Half-Blood Prince Quidditch Match; accessory: yellow bird) 4. Gilderoy Lockhart in pearl-gold robes (accessory: Cornish pixie) 5. Sirius Black (Grimmauld Place suit; accessory: Padfoot) 6. Firenze the Centaur 7. Madame Pomfrey (accessory: Skele-gro) EDIT: I really hope we don't get a cat Hermione...that always struck me as a really weird part of the movie. Edited June 24, 2020 by RogueTwo
BrickBob Studpants Posted June 24, 2020 Posted June 24, 2020 Not trying to be a Debbie Downer here, but I‘d be very surprised if there actually was an announcement this week. Series 1 was an August release so a reveal near the end of June made sense, but Series 2 is going to be released in September, at least according to some versions of the consumer catalogue. I think a reveal some time in July is more likely, but I could be wrong (and I hope I am )

I don't remember them ever being wrong before with the releasedates they've put up

BrickBob Studpants Posted June 24, 2020 Posted June 24, 2020 I‘m not saying that Brickshop is wrong, they‘ve been reliable in the past, but the consumer catalogue outweighs that information
