GoldenNinja3000 Posted March 20, 2020 Posted March 20, 2020 Holy shit, a $400 Diagon Alley?? I really think 2020 will be the best year for LEGO HP ever. The centaurs are amazing and the set they come in sounds incredible as well between the figures and Grawp being another giant minifigure build, which I adore. Diagon Alley could be crazy for that price, and I can’t wait. Better start saving up now!

Has anyone ever tried not looking for leaks or updates and instead went directly to the store the day a new wave is released? You know, for the excitement/surprise factor you’d usually get as a kid. I’m personally trying to do it with this wave, because let’s be honest, whatever the sets end up looking like, I will buy everything I do sometimes. I always try to not search for leaks, but sometimes reading this forum gets me intrigued too much & descriptions just aren’t enough. 3 hours ago, Retro Brick Reviews said: Honestly, I'm just hoping they include the Leaky Cauldron in the set. Not only is it the entrance to Diagon Alley, but it's also Harry's first true exposure to the Wizarding World, not to mention its prominence in multiple films and in both LEGO HP games~ it'd be a shame if they skipped out on it again. (Also, as a small and shabby pub, it wouldn't add to the price and piece count nearly as much as, say, Borgin & Burkes.) I would love to see the Leaky Cauldron as well. It would be nice having the brick wall in back with some kind of feature that makes the entrance. I was using the bar from Medieval Market Village as a stand in for awhile.

Meh, I'm not sure if we can really count that as Nano Diagon Alley. Doesn't really look like the same scale as the Hogwarts we got, nor did we receive any interior or figures. I really wouldn't rule out a Nano scale diagon alley just because we received a small promotional version a while ago. It was also pretty hard to get your hands on, I really don't think it counts.

BrickBob Studpants Posted March 20, 2020 Posted March 20, 2020 3 hours ago, Huigberts Builds said: Odd how the d2c set number is among the regular set numbers. Didn't d2c sets have separate numbers? D2C sets used to have separate numbers, usually 10xxx, but ever since they switched to 5-digit set numbers starting with the Hobbit sets in 2012, the D2C sets have had regular set numbers A 400$ Diagon Alley? Man, this year may suck horribly in terms of global events, but LEGO are at their A-game. Between this, the CMF, the regular HP sets, the new TCW, Super Mario, JW and Marvel sets, this has the potential to become my favourite LEGO year ever, dethroning 2019, 2014 and 2012
Legoniche Posted March 20, 2020 Posted March 20, 2020 The reason I look at leaks is because, whilst I can’t help it haha, it also gives an idea of prices and thus a substantial amount of time to save up
lego_guyon02 Posted March 20, 2020 Posted March 20, 2020 Oof, that's going to be hard not to buy. But it'll most likely not be a day 1 purchase if this pandemic lasts much longer. I'm personally expecting a minfigure scale version of the GWP. 6 hours ago, Otherworld said: Btw, I hope this pandemic ends soon or otherwise my savings will be for my survival and not for LEGO I work as a graphic designer for several nightclubs across the nation, and of course they’re all closed I hope so too, the lack of work will definetely have a huge effect on my wallet 5 hours ago, Antonin Dulohov said: could someone please post images of these LEGO centaurs?

With the same reason-logic-wise speculation what are your guesses for last unknown(s) set(s) to come ? And D2C probability as long as this remains possible ? Nice to hear that someone enjoyed my speculation! :D I think the next two sets can essentially be anything after the curveball, being The CoS Privet Drive, that Lego threw at us. Anyhow, because we are getting an Azkaban version of Bellatrix, I would say that one of the two sets will include her in her normal garments. The two options for her inclusion would be The Ministry of Magic from OotP or The Burrow from HBP. The Ministery would work better as a smaller set whereas the Burrow would have to be the rumored 100€. I think that we are bound to get the Ministry because of the importance of the scene and the fact that it hasn't been made before. And if Bellatrix is in that set (other minifigures could be Harry, Dumbeldoor, and Voldy depending on the size of the set), she wouldn't probably be in the second set. Therefore the second set would either be the Burrow from another film than HBP (probably DH1) or a completely different set altogether. If it were a different set, I would put my money on The Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes. It hasn't been made before and it would probably include Fred, George, and Ginny (they could also chunk in someone like Fenrir Greyback). The set would also complement the possible D2C Diagon Alley (if there would be one and it wouldn't include the WWW of course). Also, if the Autumn sets do not include some of Molly, Arthur, Ginny, Fred, and George, I'm quite positive that the omitted ones will be in the CMF series. If there will be a D2C, I'm pretty sure that it will be the Diagon Alley. It is one of the most iconic places from the films (or books) and the 10217 from 2011(?) has almost a legendary status nowadays. The set could be based on CoS because of the various throwbacks to the film (Privet Dr., Tom Riddle, CMF Myrtle, Sprout, and Dundelbore). The new(?) hair and ear mold of Griphook could also be used for other Gringott's goblins. The micro-build Diagon Alley from 2018 could also be an indication of the possible buildings. We could get Gringott's, Ollivander's, Flourish&Blotts and Quality Quidditch Supplies. The set could include Harry, Ron, Hermione, Molly, Arthur, Ginny, Ollivander, Lockhart (in his blue robes), Lucius, Draco, and a few goblins perhaps. This would be rather fitting if the 100€ set coming in Autumn is the WWW. PS: While writing this, I completely forget about Borgin&Burges, which plays a major role in HBP and is also featured in CoS. Another possibility for the sets would be that the smaller set from Autumn is B&B while the larger is a Ministry set. B&B could also be included in the possible D2C Diagon Alley. Anyhow, I think that there is also a possibility for us to see Fenrir this year. And because we don't know the price of the smaller set, it can always be a 20€ Inferi cave :D. My money and hopes are on The Ministry, the WWW and a CoS based Diagon Alley D2C. Apologies for the rather long and rambly post. EDIT: Of course some new and reliable rumours popped up just as I was blindly writing this lol :D Edited March 20, 2020 by thenudeorganist
BrickBob Studpants Posted March 20, 2020 Posted March 20, 2020 (edited) I‘ve found Paul Seeley‘s exact statement and he said that one of these two sets „should“ be DA, but he does not want to be quoted on that (which I also just did) Along with the other bits of information we got before, it is fairly reasonable to assume that the 400$ is DA, but it‘s far from confirmed, just FYI Edited March 20, 2020 by Lego-Freak
THELEGOBATMAN Posted March 20, 2020 Posted March 20, 2020 He (or JediAcePenguin) confirms that buildable Hediwg is 40€ and comes with Harry. 75980 is $100 and 75978 is $400. He says that one of these sets should be Diagon Alley, likely 75978. So don't take that info as confirmation of Diagon Alley, cause you could end up disappointed. But on the other hand he's a very reliable leaker, so there's no reason not to trust him.

While I'm incredibly hyped for the possibility of a minifigure scale Diagon Alley D2C part of me still hopes it's something completely different that I'm not interested in. Would save me a ton of money

DNSNVN01 Posted March 20, 2020 Posted March 20, 2020 So who do people think the possible minifigure line up could include in this diagon alley set. As a 400 dollar set there should be roughly 20 figures with the trio probably taking up 3 spots at least. We may also see some weasleys appear in this set for the wizard wheezes and lockharts book signing in flourish and blotts. We may get another hagrid and maybe lucius and draco as well. What do you guys think will fill the remainder slots

But I think we're looking at around 15 figures, while it's possible 20 figures is a little much looking at other D2C's in the $400 pricerange (not looking at Star Wars because the figure count in those D2C's is all over the place) Welcome to Apocalypseburg - $300 - 13 figures Ninjago City - $300 - 19 figures Rollercoaster - $380 - 11 figures Hogwarts Castle - $400 - 4 figures Disney Castle - $350 - 7 figures Helicarrier - $350 - 5 figures Ghostbusters HQ - $350 - 10 figures As you can see the only sets with more than 10 figures are non-licensed sets, all the licensed D2C's (who admittedly have nanofigures in some cases) have a lot less. So I think 20 is possible but it'll most likely be lower.

So I think 20 is possible but it'll most likely be lower. While those counts are lower yes, but I was considering the fact that most of those are single buildings/micro. As Diagon alley will likely have more buildings than say the Disney castle or the ghostbuster HQ. And then Hogwarts and the helicarrier are micro so they're bound to come with less figures that a minifigure scale set. So while 20 may be slightly unrealistic it wouldnt be completely bizarre to imagine a number between 15-20. It is a licensed set yet but the unlicensed sets that had more also cost less so the fact that this one costs 100 more could mean at least 15

I think the lineup could be something like this: Harry (face covered in ash), Ron, Hermione, Molly, Arthur, Ginny, Fred&George(both from HBP), Lockhart (blue robes), Lucius, Draco, Fenrir, Ollivander, two Gringotts goblins (with Griphook's hair+ear piece), Tom (from leaky cauldron).

If it's a minifigure scale set it will undoubtedly come with more buildings than just Gringotts, Ollivanders and WWW. The GWP also had QQS and FAB so we'd need at least 2 figures to accompany those stores (IF it is in fact a larger version of the GWP that is)
Tariq j Posted March 20, 2020 Posted March 20, 2020 I think the big three will definitely appear. Gringotts, WWW and Ollivanders. And possibly then some of the other stores. They may even do Borgin and Burkes (though that is technically on Knockturn Alley).
Sir Godric Posted March 20, 2020 Posted March 20, 2020 This will really be a very,very expensive year. I still have to buy the big hogwarts castle. And i am sure i must have some sets double. So please let the corona end and start the games...
Darth Shadowthrone Posted March 20, 2020 Posted March 20, 2020 What if the shops are connected like the micro version to create an entire street (even if it's inaccurate). Also I definitely think the Leaky Cauldron would be included on one end with Gringotts on the other and then Borgin and Burkes disconnected so it's like a different street. I could also see smaller buildings for the Quidditch Shop and the pet shop (maybe even the Book Shop tho I don't know if that will be as visually interesting). Minifigures I think will definitely be included are: two Goblins, Ollivander, Fred and George, Tom the Inkeeper and the trio. If it's based on Half Blood Prince (which would make sense considering the timing of the set with this wave) I could then see Greyback and Death Eaters being included for Ollivander's abduction and Draco's initiation, as well as Draco himself. Also very wishlisty but I could definitely see a Gringotts playset next year similar to the Room of Requirement this year which is an interior set not designed to fit with the Gringotts in the Diagon Alley D2C. It could have the trio with their disguises, Griphook and Bogrod and the white dragon.
Balrogofmorgoth Posted March 20, 2020 Posted March 20, 2020 Everything about getting new HP waves is amazing but for me I think the most exciting thing is seeing what the new Hogwarts sections look like each year. I can’t wait to see the design of the Astronomy Tower

Completely agree, besides Harry Potter I'm a fan of other themes too (primarily Jurassic, Marvel and Star Wars) but HP is definetely my favorite. It really sucks that I'm going to miss out on a lot of JP, Marvel and SW sets just so I can buy everything I want from Potter. The virus and it's consequences are really pissing me off, I hate seeing a plan fall apart while there's absolutely nothing I can do about it
Seaber Posted March 20, 2020 Posted March 20, 2020 Another long list, of all the characters that appear in Diagon Alley in each film. I think it's complete. PS: Harry, Hagrid, Tom, Doris, Dedalus, Quirrell, Angus (Nimbus 2000 kid), Ollivander, Griphook, Goblins (Ollivanders, Gringotts, Leaky Cauldron, QQQ a bit) CoS: Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Malfoy, Fred, George, Percy, Molly, Arthur, Hagrid, Lucius, Lockhart, Photographer, Knockturn Alley Witch, (Borgin and Burke, Flourish and Blotts) PoA: Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Fred, George, Percy, Molly, Arthur, Fudge, Hunchback Tom, Leaky Cauldron Cleaner (Leaky Cauldron) HBP: Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Malfoy, Fred, George, Cormac, Lavender, Narcissa, Greyback (Borgin and Burkes, WWW) DHII: Harry, Ron in disguise, Hermione polyjuiced as Bellatrix, Griphook, Bogrod, Goblins, Ukrainian Ironbelly I doubt the DHII characters will be included, but most of the others are likely (the trio, the Weasleys, the Malfoys) others depends on what shops we get (PS Griphook and Goblins - Gringotts, Lockhart - Flourish and Blotts, Greyback - Borgin and Burke, Ollivander - Ollivanders). Some we almost certainly won't get, I just included for completion :)
