I think the set is absolutely beautiful! No actually I am worried now that Lockhart only has one expression because they never show an alternate face print in all these pictures (but Florean gets at least a double sided face print). And they moved the side burns only slightly out on Ollivander but for whatever reason didn't fix it all the way

Seems like a new 1x3 box mould similar to the 35700 2x2 container piece Edited August 24, 2020 by Brick Cucumber

I thought those were products and decoration that belonged inside the building.

Just absolutely love that Lego keeps reusing that mould and giving us lots of variations this time round! No it is the old one. These are rendered pictures and have a slightly different saturation than real picutres. Compare them side by side and you will see it is reddish brown. Ollivander has a dark red torso now though Edited August 24, 2020 by Metanoios91
sammy_zammy Posted August 24, 2020 Posted August 24, 2020 Damn the interiors are amazing Now there are non potato photos! So packed with details! Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes is jam packed with items and colour, especially with those vibrant banisters. Ollivanders has cases stacked full of wands, as it should be - a higgledy piggledy jumble of stuff. Quality Quidditch Supplies is quite empty but the items that are present are really cool, the folded jumpers are a nice detail. Flourish & Blotts is full of colourful books and tables. Although I’m a bit disappointed there’s no spiral staircase. Florean Fortescue’s is small but has plenty of stuff for the space - and the tiled floor is really cool.
2lazeetomakeaname Posted August 24, 2020 Posted August 24, 2020 I think the windows for QQS are printed clear 2x6s
Balrogofmorgoth Posted August 24, 2020 Posted August 24, 2020 I love the entrance to Knockturn Alley, I never saw that before
YetiZombie Posted August 24, 2020 Posted August 24, 2020 If anyone wants an easier way to browse the pics - I uploaded them to a Google Photos album here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/eGsobnivXX7rLHHY8

Metanoios Posted August 24, 2020 Posted August 24, 2020 There are quite a few useful recolours which is nice: dark tan 1x1 stud with hole, trans red glass from the new cmf and some of the window pieces look like prints. I just wish Lego would stop releasing renders and go back to real photographs. These renders look worse than the real deal.
YetiZombie Posted August 24, 2020 Posted August 24, 2020 If the wand box is available on B&P, I'm gonna buy so many to hold my extra wands from the other sets
sammy_zammy Posted August 24, 2020 Posted August 24, 2020 Woah I just noticed how detailed the outside of F&B is too... those birds are so cool!
Hot4Voldemort Posted August 24, 2020 Posted August 24, 2020 Oh boy, what a day to be alive. Although honestly I wished the leakers weren't adamant enough to spoil the official reveal for... whatever it is they get out of it. The set looks amazing though - the low-res photos really did not do it justice. Honestly infatuated with the small accessories like the blast box and Lockhart book!
thenudeorganist Posted August 24, 2020 Posted August 24, 2020 (edited) The set as a whole is gorgeous! I'm dreading the day Mos Eisley Cantina is revealed since I'm facing a hard choice, although I think the Cantina can only beat DA minifigure-wise. My only problems with the set are the choice of leaving Gringott's out (although don't mind it that much anymore) and the minifigures. Harry, Ron, and Hermione all use the same torso, Ginny is just bland, Molly has the same problems as in the Burrow and Lucius looks dreadful imo (the face and yellow hair) :D I'm rather devastated that they gave Fortescue, the photographer and Ollivander (who has a perfectly fine face) new faceprints and decided to give Lucius a reused one (which just looks stupid). Lockhart is probably the best one, although his expression looks a bit malevolent for some reason... Edited August 24, 2020 by thenudeorganist

What they get out of it is us talking about Toys News International, a site I’m sure none of us have ever heard of/care about lol That is until Lego nukes them into extinction!

sammy_zammy Posted August 24, 2020 Posted August 24, 2020 Is Toy News International related to EuroBricks? You click on the comments and it takes you to something that looks exactly like EB.
Metanoios Posted August 24, 2020 Posted August 24, 2020 I just noticed the ninjago dragon hilts in black for some statue details on the facade of Flourish and Blotts

Terrasher Posted August 24, 2020 Posted August 24, 2020 I wasn't sold on the colour of QQS at first, but the more I look at the whole set, the less it bothers me. The first floor façades are truly spectacular.

Modal Posted August 24, 2020 Posted August 24, 2020 Could someone with a better understanding of Photoshop change the QQS pink color to New Dark Red? Just out of curiosity.
