Roonil Wazlib Posted March 22, 2021 Posted March 22, 2021 If the chess pieces are minifigures, it'll probably be a pass for me. For $250 it better look amazing, and I don't see rows of minifigures looking good enough to justify the price. I still think the chess pieces will be brick built. At least I hope so.

I think everyone was discussing it on some of the previous pages about a brick built figure/creature? Just now, Textorix said: I think this has been debunked already Ah my bad then
KA1 Posted March 22, 2021 Posted March 22, 2021 5 minutes ago, Ringwraith said: So for August we are looking at a chess set, a flying class moment set?, a brick built creature of some type (probably Fawkes) and two other PS/CoS sets yet to be revealed/rumoured? build creature or SW type bust....

How do you think they'd pull off a $250 chess set if all the pieces were minifgures? Not to mention that in the movie all of them are too unique to be represented by minfigures.
Roonil Wazlib Posted March 22, 2021 Posted March 22, 2021 So what are we thinking then? The set with hooch is a buildable broomstick?

The scale will be really interesting. I hope they are big enough for Ron’s minifig to ride the Knight piece. I imagine the queen is going to be a beautiful build. This is one of the most iconic chess sets in movie history. I’m getting more and more excited to see pics of it now.
Flixter Posted March 22, 2021 Posted March 22, 2021 Acutally there was once rumor that one of the sets will be buildable broomstick but it was fake.

No the Quidditch set with Hooch is either the smallest of the August wave or the 39.99 one (same price point as the last quidditch set)

It could be a small broomstick display.

sebastian666 Posted March 22, 2021 Posted March 22, 2021 For those who aren’t super familiar with the chess set from the final challenge, here is a pic from a replica set made by the Noble Collection. As you can see, the pieces are stunning and will hopefully make for a really fun build:

With a $250 price it certainly will allow to let you play out that scene, and allow Ron to ride that horse.

Xcube Posted March 22, 2021 Posted March 22, 2021 (edited) But it is now only a chess field or an addition to the "new" hogwartsstyle? It would be nice if the set can be added and don't only have the chess field Edited March 22, 2021 by Xcube

BrickBob Studpants Posted March 22, 2021 Posted March 22, 2021 (edited) Why are people surprised by the $120 set though? Ever since the parts count leaked we knew that this wouldn‘t be a normal set Edited March 22, 2021 by Lego-Freak

I was saying that in response to a few comments suggesting that the pieces would be minifigures. Probably should have quoted.

It'd be logical since he's the main villain in PS Possibly, but then the set may have 2 Quirrel figures. Another likely character is McGonagall as the Chess Board is her defence
Brickity Posted March 22, 2021 Posted March 22, 2021 I seriously can’t believe that turned out to be true

RODDY Posted March 22, 2021 Posted March 22, 2021 (edited) Cornish Pixies look absolutely amazing, Lego HP continues its track record of great creature mold. Really hopes this confirms a DADA either as it’s in own set or in the Chamber of Secrets set. I just hope it’s a bit more recognizable this time because the one in the Clocktower only had the spider that Mad Eye torments as its only recognizable element. Even if it has to be stickers. $250 is an easy pass for me at least, I’m sure it will look nice but it’s not a necessity for me that I’m willing to give up limited shelving space for. I hope this doesn’t rule out getting a vignette for it in the Anniversary line or any other challenges. Like if they want to give us a throwback to the 2001 era of sets, I do hope we get most of the castle portions in that original line because just getting the two would be disappointing. Part of the joy of the old sets is you get to build this bulky Hogwarts. Figures crossed that $70 is a Hogwarts Challenges set. Edited March 22, 2021 by RODDY
