Ravenclaw62442 Posted December 27, 2020 Posted December 27, 2020 Fluffy and the Troll are sorely missing from our Philosopher’s Stone collections. I think the advent Callander will be based around the Slug Club.

I like your guess on the next advent calendar, by the way!

And there‘s no way Gringotts isn‘t part of the line-up, making us wait two years or even longer to „complete“ DA would just be cruel Knockturn alley with one or two shops is for me same important like gringotts:) even if we have crossroad at the DA set Edited December 27, 2020 by KA1

As for the CMF S2 version, they probably kept the freckles for the sake of consistency. Speaking of which: Since they’re now free to reuse CMF prints, I fully expect the Carina print to be replaced by the superior CMF S2 print Same goes for Ron and Hermione. I’m so glad they’re finally able (or willing) to do that Nice catch. I failed to recognise it as Carina. Which CMFs are they now reusing? I hadn't spotted that yet, either.

I like both your take and your attitude. Right you are. And now I'm looking forward to a CMC book... And the Thestral and Blast Ended Skrewt wouldn't have to fit in as well, were they included...

Sets are often a lot cheaper there, or 1:1 $ to EUR, but the ACs remain a better deal here, I figure because they have so much competition on the AC market.

The Wonder Woman and Cheetah minifigs from the DC CMF series were reused in the SDCC set and the WW84 version also featured her CMF face print. Moreover, the Flash face print from that series was repurposed in a Jurassic World set. I wish they could‘ve done that earlier, would have improved Krum & Cedric significantly

Vehicles have never really been selling points for Harry Potter (bar the Hogwarts Express but even that has it's limits in terms of price) so I personally doubt we'll ever get UCS/Creator Expert-style vehicles for the Potter theme. Especially with locations like Gringotts, the Ministry of Magic and Hogsmeade being better fits for such a pricepoint. But who knows? One can always hope

karrit Posted December 28, 2020 Posted December 28, 2020 One Knight Bus is enough for me. It was the last set from that wave that I bought because it wasn't a must have. I personally don't see it being a good fit for Creator status. As Gunyon2002 says there are other big builds that are a much better fit. Vehicles weren't used much to warrant taking a large build slot other than Hogwarts Express which we already have & maybe the Durmstrang Ship. I certainly wouldn't spend that much for another Knight Bus. I'd much rather have Gringotts, Hogsmeade, Ministry of Magic, Knockturn Alley, Grimmauld Place, other parts of the Castle or a few other places before any vehicles. The only vehicle I can think of would be a Thestral drawn carriage like the ones the students rode to the castle in but that shouldn't be more than a $19.99-29.99 set.

A Creator Knight Bus would be amazing. I wouldn‘t mind that, but please only after they‘ve already released everything else we‘re clamouring for right now. A Creator Expert- style Knight Bus or Hogwarts Express set would be pretty silly when we‘re still missing Gringotts and Hogsmeade Edited December 28, 2020 by Lego-Freak

deskp Posted December 28, 2020 Posted December 28, 2020 Yeah that's a nice new mer-tail. several fins is mroe accurate to HP ones. Not spot on, but for lego it looks awesome. Hope we get some Merpeople, along with Karkaroff and ship
lego_guyon02 Posted December 28, 2020 Posted December 28, 2020 (edited) I highly doubt it's a CMF mold, Series 21 has already been revealed and it's way too soon for a Looney Tunes leak (and I don't think LT even has mermaids to begin with). Looking at the printing I think this is a BAM-exclusive print on a piece that will be introduced in a future 1HY 2021 set. It could be made for the Merpeople but afaik BAM never recolors pieces and brown/nougat/whatever-color-this-is wouldn't be the most accurate for the Merpeople. It's definetely possible, probably even inevitable, that we'll see this mold used in a Second Task set in 2021 or beyond but I don't think this piece hints at anything Potter related in it's current form. Edited December 28, 2020 by Guyon2002
Robert8 Posted December 28, 2020 Posted December 28, 2020 BAM does recolor pieces It has exclusive recolors of the S16 dog mold Also, an exclusive pink recolor of the S18 elephant mask mold

Robert8 Posted December 28, 2020 Posted December 28, 2020 It can also be from the rumored Ninjago underwater season. The mold that is, not this specific print
Bugbot20082 Posted December 28, 2020 Posted December 28, 2020 The printing looks like wafer and the top detail looks like strawberry sauce, so is this like a gingerbread merperson? What an odd idea. I’ll be interested if it has a dorsal fin on the back; the merepeople in HP are very fish like and I agree this mould will likely be used for them in the near future, can’t wait ?

I'm thinking it's going to be an ice-cream person rather than gingerbread. I think it'd work well for a HP merperson.
Pulp Detective Posted December 28, 2020 Posted December 28, 2020 We could get a recolor version of this piece if Lego decides to do a GOF set based around the second trial.
KA1 Posted December 28, 2020 Posted December 28, 2020 I hope that is the second task come, it will be with the ship. Maybe we will get some more specific info after launch the classrooms.

Usually all of the Harry Potter info that comes out before leak season (which starts around late-april / early-may) comes from the Toy Fairs and those have all been either delayed or cancelled. This could be the first year of this theme where we don't get any setnames and have to speculate based on figure leaks only, which should definetely be interesting Unless my source suddenly turns up with a list of setnames ofc
