But I gotta be real with you guys here, for $400 the amount of figures is extremely underwhelming. But maybe there's more? The leaked Harry isn't there for some reason, maybe there are more figs on other sides of the box I have to say I'm underwhelmed. This line is normally generous with figures, so 14 is lacklustre, I don't think there are going to be figs in the other side, because surely if that was the case Fred and George would be in the other side with some more later movie figs and not on this side. Front has leaked!

The exception is characters portrayed by actors with dwarfism like prof. Flitwick, but the general rule is "adult character - regular legs" As for Ginny, that's her outfit in PS and in CoS The first one kinda matches, but not really.
Clone OPatra Posted August 19, 2020 Posted August 19, 2020 Well that minifigure lineup has certainly assuaged any sadness I might've had about not being able to pick up this set due to price and size. Like others have said, I'm sure the build will be a knockout, but the minifigures sure are dull. Funny when a minifigure from 2002 does a better job for a character than one from 2020, in my opinion. I'm perfectly happy with my 02 Lockharts with fleshie heads - and while the original hairpiece wasn't a perfect match, it was more representative than this! I really wish they'd done Lockhart as a CMF so he could've gotten the treatment he deserves of being highly detailed and probably having a new hairpiece to boot. Waiting to see if he even gets a unique face print in this set - it's hard to tell from the crappy picture EDIT: YEP the set is gorgeous. Minifigures are still dull.
Bernar Posted August 19, 2020 Posted August 19, 2020 It seems like QQS has a ravenclaw quidditch torso
Metanoios Posted August 19, 2020 Posted August 19, 2020 Quidditch robes for Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff!!
RealGeronimo11 Posted August 19, 2020 Posted August 19, 2020 I'm so glad that QQS has what looks like a Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff Quidditch uniform!
Metanoios Posted August 19, 2020 Posted August 19, 2020 Also connection points for Knockturn Alley (Borgin Burkes)
Nick unassembled Posted August 19, 2020 Posted August 19, 2020 I will now spend my entire life savings to get multiples of the ravenclaw and hufflepuff quidditch torsos. These interiors are amazing.

(I’d be bummed that they’re coming in a D2C, making it nearly impossible to put together full teams, but hopefully this ups the chances of a quidditch accessory pack). 5 minutes ago, BenderBrau said: As for Ginny, that's her outfit in PS and in CoS The first one kinda matches, but not really. It’s actually neither of those. It’s the outfit she’s wearing in the Flourish & Blotts scene (unsurprisingly)
AlbusPercivalWulfricBrian Posted August 19, 2020 Posted August 19, 2020 I love it, but I must admit that I think it is way too expensive - even for LEGO. You practically get one shop segment + 3-4 Minifigures for every 100€ you pay. They look more like 80€ sets to me but with less Minifigures ...
LegoFjotten Posted August 19, 2020 Posted August 19, 2020 My old eyes can't make out the details like you young ninjas, I'm gonna need hi-res images. I will definitely get it, but I'm not as excited as I thought I would be - I was so sure I would love it at first sight even with a crappy leaked photo. Hopefully it is just the image quality.
TakeaBrick Posted August 19, 2020 Posted August 19, 2020 It is the greatest set ever. Don't even resist it.
Metanoios Posted August 19, 2020 Posted August 19, 2020 Are the wand boxes and the windows (QQS) prints or clear stickers?
Yope Posted August 19, 2020 Posted August 19, 2020 What a mystery the leaked Harry is. The only part of the build I'm not keen on is the pink above QQS. It looks a bit blocky especially with the big square windows.
Accio Lego Posted August 19, 2020 Posted August 19, 2020 Looks like we get 3 owls, a rat, and a spider at the least as far as animals go. Finally, they’re steering back towards the classics.

Propably one segment has like around 1400 pieces, which i think it could cost 110-120€
mapimi Posted August 19, 2020 Posted August 19, 2020 I’m a big fan and will for sure be getting it but I feel like Gringotts is really missing to give Diagon Alley it’s full identity. Really hope a compatible set will be released in à not too long future

Instead it looks a bit like rainbow vomit to be honest.
lego_guyon02 Posted August 19, 2020 Posted August 19, 2020 I don't even feel bad about Gringotts' exclusion anymore, this set is just so well done! Definetely planning on getting this day 1!
Jarreth2 Posted August 19, 2020 Posted August 19, 2020 I still love it .. just not as much as I thought I would .. 14 minifigures ?? 14 !!! This is gonna trigger my 5 minifigures with the Disney Castle trauma .. and I was just getting over it ??? Official hi-res images will be something to look forward to ?
