1234567892022 Posted March 22, 2021 Posted March 22, 2021 As I kid I did love seeing the giant Harry, and the new 2018 ones were cute. I would actually like a cute minifig-style giant version of Harry and Hermione (and Ron). Spoiler

"One mans trash is another's treasure". Fawkes is 92, the brick-built characters are 93. I can see why you warned people, nobody could have picked these coming out at the start of the year. Never been into brickheads so skip, liked the Hedwig build but not sure I want a whole range of creatures, will have to see what it looks like. The chess set isn't something I want. If its the chess set and scenes like the keys and vine trap it might be more appealing but I'd rather they broke them up as sets rather than this expensive set. Not sure why they don't make smaller sets out of all these scenes. I see people saying we are not the market for these, they are for kids. That bull really, once a set goes over a price point its for adults. The chess set will be about $350/$400 here in Australia. That some grown man/woman cash. This has made the june sets more appealing . I like the new cornish pixie. The Great Hall still looks rotten but the figures and scenes should improve it. Looking forward to mocing and fixing it or using it for parts. What a strange year for Harry!!
Brick Clicker Posted March 22, 2021 Posted March 22, 2021 A Harry with a hedwig could be cool would be intresting but something we've seen a lot...

spiderfan2000 Posted March 22, 2021 Posted March 22, 2021 My speculation is that the $40 set is a Forbidden Forest set with Harry, Draco, Fang, Firenze, disguised Quirrell, and possibly Hagrid, considering I'd be surprised if he was completely absent from this year's sets.

Modal Posted March 22, 2021 Posted March 22, 2021 I wish the best set of the year (Hogsmeade) could have been bumped up to the $120 set. Would love to have more of that set.

If Lego gave us a new Fang mould this year in addition to the Pixie and Cat Hermione I would forgive them of their sins re. the other sets.

I have zero regrets now about using my points towards the Winnie the Pooh set. At least I'm going to get the Home Alone house this Christmas, too. Haha! Twins! I've just been thinking about how much money i'm going to be saving too and I just used all our points on the Winnie the Pooh set for my wife's birthday present. So nice only paying $2.95 for it! :-D

Come on someone put me out of my misery... Is the Pixie a part of the CoS set or an unknown one? And is there a new mould of flying Fawkes?

A rumour of a flying lesson Moments set popped up, which Guyon commented with "So it begins". Of course the rumour, courtesy of a particularly tricksy Hobbit, turned out to be fake, which we found out thanks to Guyon, who consulted with his source again. However, the "damage" was already sort of done, because his initial comment basically confirmed that Hooch will be included in that set

That's 11.

Well I have to see picture of that set because right now I just cant imagine it being a playset expansion to CoS set and cost $250 at the same time. Then why they didnt do $250 CoS instead?

Um... The chess pieces are LIFE SIZE in the movie. The Queen was a minfig in the last set. How could they not be Minfigs?? Edited March 22, 2021 by BrickFunatic

Funny thing: my second comment here a month ago was "One thing I'm thinking about: where's Hagrid?" A Detention in Forest set would be really nice... if they put Fang, Firenze and an unicorn.
