dansdiscoveries Posted April 16, 2021 Posted April 16, 2021 Wow the prices of these seem really off for the UK especially the chess set and CoS...
lego_guyon02 Posted April 16, 2021 Posted April 16, 2021 Have to say I really don't like Fluffy in his current form. Either go with an awoken version or asleep, not some awful looking hybrid of both Guess I'm gonna have to BL some extra heads.

A bit, yes Most likely intentionally, to hype up the mystery. Meaning we probably won’t find out until the sets get released They even managed to keep them out of the “livestyle” images, those tricksy hobbitses
Metanoios Posted April 16, 2021 Posted April 16, 2021 (edited) Fluffy has 6 printed heads in the set. 3 different growling and 3 sleeping 1 minute ago, Guyon2002 said: Have to say I really don't like Fluffy in his current form.

The other negative is the colour blocked mixel joints that look jarring Edited April 16, 2021 by Metanoios91

icm Posted April 16, 2021 Posted April 16, 2021 Looks to me like the top of the Forbidden Corridor set is the Potions logic puzzle.

As pointed out by @OrderOfTheBrick. Yeah sry didn't look at all the pics. Some choices in these sets are great and others are outright moronic. Why would anyone think this hybrid asleep/awake is displayable (unless you point the camera in these exact angles). They went with a brick-built model and the production cost would be downright negligble to just add two additional heads with the same printing

I really love these sets overall. BUT: Fluffy's body is awful still, and that thing with the mix and match heads makes my head hurt. Crabbe and Goyle's faces are too specific to the polyjuice scene. I wanted sneering faces to be Malfoy's cronies. The chess set is a rather bland build.
Brickity Posted April 16, 2021 Posted April 16, 2021 The renders uploaded by lego are amaazing 😩 I specially love the chamber of secrets and Hogsmeade ones.
ArrowBricks Posted April 16, 2021 Posted April 16, 2021 £129.99 for the COS set. Good lord. £69.99 for the Hogsmead set - wow great deal. Strange pricing it seems.

1234567892022 Posted April 16, 2021 Posted April 16, 2021 Someone better get Miss Rowling on the phone at Lego - the UK site refers to "the Sorcerer's Stone." Excuse me!
Falconfan1414 Posted April 16, 2021 Posted April 16, 2021 Anyone talk about the way these are being released yet? With them being exclusives to lego stores and a few to target and kohl’s from June to august
1234567892022 Posted April 16, 2021 Posted April 16, 2021 I hope some people in the UK will swap cards with me if we're missing some.
Flixter Posted April 16, 2021 Posted April 16, 2021 Also, in Europe flying lesson is 1st June, while in USA it's August

We have known the prices for very long time Knowing something for a long time doesn’t make something not strange lol. I haven’t checked up on this forum often so missed the price but for 1175 pieces I thought £119.99 would be the price.

Yeah same with euros, it should be less but its 149.99€... so it means leaked prices were in pounds I guess Edited April 16, 2021 by Textorix
Magnum Posted April 16, 2021 Posted April 16, 2021 Oh no! Dutch price is an extra plus €10 on most sets, even Belgium has lower prices! Not cool LEGO!
1234567892022 Posted April 16, 2021 Posted April 16, 2021 Can't believe there is no picture of them connected.
Xcube Posted April 16, 2021 Posted April 16, 2021 The prices for switzerland for COS is even more crazy with 179 Fr. When I convert that price to Euro, it's 160^^.

1234567892022 Posted April 16, 2021 Posted April 16, 2021 They should have done some stickers for Devil's Snare in the background because it looks too bare. I just wish there was a small Forbidden Forest Set with Firenze, Fang, Harry and cloaked Voldemort to round off this throwback wave!
