That might unironically be a worse set than the fabled Dobby's Sock! Nothing but brown and bleurgh. Surely it can't be that bad - there's a world of difference between "lower your expectations, you're not getting Gringotts" and "lower your expectations, the Lego design team have genuinely lost their minds".

If @Falconfan1414 choses to post leaks/info about new sets his instagram account can be suspended. Do we want him to stop sharing all kinds of news related to LEGO? Absolutely not, so let's just listen and wait for the news to come out. it was a joke, I am surprised you couldn’t tell that since I mentioned it as the Dobby’s Sock Wave

thekeeperofthereaper Posted March 1, 2021 Posted March 1, 2021 i may not be into lego harry potter but i really do think they could do a really good azkaban prison build

On top of that, there are no scenes explicitly set there (excluding two very brief flashes, when Sirius and Bellatrix respectively escape) and the only minifigures that would make sense are Sirius, Bellatrix (already released in the CMF) and a number of Dementors (already released). To sell a a big Azkaban set would need some very good minifigures, and I can't see what they could be.

I finally understand. The lego design team wanted to make the Deathly Hallows sets and Gringotts like we all wanted, but when the Death Eaters and crazies from Azkaban escaped they took over the lego offices and forced the design team to make all this stuff.

Sirius with dog form or Belatrix and stand, and a little Azkaban.

Sirius with dog form or Belatrix and stand, and a little Azkaban. A microscale GWP I can see. A £20 set not so much, to be honest - at that price point you're expecting minifigures, and any build of the prison is going to look too dinky in comparison. In any case, my personal suspicion is that the theme won't last long enough for them to be digging that deep into the possible sets.

It was barely funny the first time. Stop now.
chris6507 Posted March 1, 2021 Posted March 1, 2021 (edited) I can't remember where I saw it in the last 120 pages. But was it stated that there are going to be 2 D2C's this year? I'm assuming the $250 set is one, but which was the other one? Or please correct me if this was wrong/old information. Edited March 1, 2021 by chris6507

Unfunny, sure, but hate speech is a bit of an extreme characterisation. On the subject of Lego Harry Potter, the cheaper of the August sets seems about the right price to be another classroom a la Room of Requirement/Girl's Bathroom. If it's another block this thread might just explode!
