josh_a_123 Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 is the Monster Book of Monsters set legit? Cos that could be what HP-4 is
sebastian666 Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 For $30, could we possibly be getting a skinny facade of the Leaky Cauldron with a small dining room on the ground floor, Harry’s hotel room on the second floor (where he battles the Monster Book of Monsters), and a little moving brick wall? Sounds more like a $50 set after typing it all out.

BrickBob Studpants Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 Can we please wait for a reputable leaker to confirm this alleged set before discussing it further? I don‘t trust lego_fake_news unless another source corrobrates their „info“
Yope Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 Anyone in the UK encountered the second CMF series yet?

I don't know whether to buy a full set and miss out on the fun of not knowing who I'll get or to buy the bags blindly until I start getting doubles.

I personally bought a full set and then no doubt will buy a few single packs from work, I did unfortunately only get duplicates of Newt, Jacob and Graves last time ?

Must be nice to have a job wherever you work. At least we don't have the "Pleeeease don't be a FB minifigure" lottery this time!

Very true, especially in the current climate, it’s nice to be safe, and you’re not wrong ?, I’ll be very happy getting duplicates of any of these figures tbh

I actually called him out on Instagram when he re-posted all those photos from the Romanian toy store and pretended like it was his own leak. He is always recycling info and never giving credit. Somehow he’s managed to take credit for all of the big leaks this summer, even though minilegogo has been our only legit leaker.

The trouble with any kind of leaker, reputable or not, they are doing it for the views, for the recognition etc, they know unless they’re a big name (like Legogo etc) they’ll disappear into obscurity next year, the small amount of glory is what they strive for, and they get it every time they are brought up in conversation in a forum such as this one, especially he who shall not be named who everyone (not literally, but most) decided to wholeheartedly believe without any proof of actual leaks, as an ex-leaker (1 year only, never again), I can honestly say I am glad that I was met with scepticism, but where has that gone this year? ??

Call me naive but usually I personally try to believe most leakers unless it’s something completely outlandish like that one year’s fake list where we were supposed to be getting a Chambers of Secret and Diagon Alley in the same wave. I try not to scrutinize too much because I don’t want real leakers like yourself to feel uncomfortable in sharing the information you have. At the end of the day, it’s just info about toys, and I’m not going to lose sleep because some intel was wrong. If it’s right, that’s great but it’s really nothing to be paranoid over. Don’t want to lose the real leakers and be left with a bunch of attention seekers. Edited August 27, 2020 by RODDY

I think it makes more sense for Lego to offer a add on set to DA to fill in some of the holes that said I think it more likely to have everything you said but the brick wall would just add to many pieces I know I was very disappointed when there was no Leaky cauldron in DA. Also I think it more likely to be a leaky cauldron then inside the book because Harry never went in to book like newts suitcase. Then again this wouldn't explain Dirty Harry because he has first/second year legs. Edited August 27, 2020 by bluedog1111
kirkwoodproductions Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 Just opened my box of 60 CMF. Think Brickset must have had some issue with their box distribution with only 3 Dumbledores and 7 Griphooks. I have 5 of each.

lego_guyon02 Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 A Monster Book of Monsters build could be interesting but as others have said before me I'm not keen on believing lego_fans_news

Also, there could be an accompanying exclusive minifig, and that’s always nice
Modal Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 Also, A Monster Book of Monsters would not contain PS Harry as it’s a 3rd Year book.

It's not the first issue we heard about box distribution for this series, I am a bit worried to be honest if I decide to buy a box
YetiZombie Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 Brickset did a review of the Hagrid and Buckbeak Brickheadz in case anyone is interested: https://brickset.com/article/53474/review-40412-hagrid-buckbeak
Modal Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 (edited) The Hagrid and Buckbeak Brickheadz will probably be worth a bit of money if we can only get them these next two weeks, yea? Looks like the other HP ones go for $100+ Edited August 27, 2020 by Modal
