Idk if its just me but although I rly wanted cat Hermione I would be happier if the girls bathroom set was based on PS scene with troll. I think that the sink entrance to Chamber of Secrets could have been included in large Hogwarts castle set instead. Anyways I cant wait for these sets The old Troll was as really unique mould before there was a set design for bigfigs. I could definitely see a hybrid moulded mountain troll in the scale of Groot or Steppenwolf, or brickbuilt at the same size as the giant slender-man from last years Hidden Side fire truck. Imagine if there’s a retail exclusive anniversary set we don’t know about yet containing either Quirrel and the Mirror of Erised / or the Mountain Troll in a generic corridor (maybe linked to the boathouse considering that would finally work with a raised Great Hall)

Anyways I cant wait for these sets I definitely think we'll get a remake in the coming years but I doubt the troll itself will be fully molded like the old one. I'd expect something along the lines of Grawp (just smaller) or Steppenwolf/Kro.

After all, it’s tricky to judge something like that based on preliminary pictures That's good, the 2002 Basilisk was a pretty good size, the raised neck and curved tail meant it was quite a good minifigish size figure. Fluffy was rather small, probably because Lego was building it on the old Triceratops/Stegosaurus legs.

After zusammengebaut article on this year's "Toy Expo" with all the concomitant fun poking, I was feeling a little called out for being excited about this set. (And it doesn't help that I also want the "troll in the (other) lav" 4712 set to be re-released.) Hey, I was thinking about a Gunhilda of Gorsemoor statue (the one-eyed, humpbacked Healer in front of the tunnel to Honeydukes). I know there've been one-eyed, one-legged and one-handed figs in the past, so it's not that they wouldn't go there categorically, but does anyone know if lego has ever done a hunchback piece? There's an actual "hunchback" fig from 2002 that doesn't even have the hunch, so I'm not hopeful. (Never mind the fact it very likely wouldn't have the right colour for a statue...) Or a potbelly for that matter? The Troll in the girls bathroom scene would be great, with loads of smashing functions. The Troll I think would probably be mostly brick built, maybe with some printed or specialised pieces, similar to Grawp. The trio in dirty/torn robes would be a nice new design, unless Harry and Ron get them in CoS. I think the one eyed witch statue only appears in PS. I think the easiest way would be bricks attached to a neck bracket, otherwise a new element would probably be needed.

If they are they can only share set-numbers, unless they find a set in a store before the street-date Why do I get the feeling that this has something to do with a certain YouTuber complaining about being told to remove a video last month Both Stonewars.de and Promobricks.de aren't part of LAN as you can read in their own statements about it.

It would be weird having the Forbidden Corridor and the hatch leading to nowhere.
krimimimi Posted February 15, 2021 Posted February 15, 2021 @Guyon2002 What's Kro? (Bricklink had no answer for me...)

It'd be good to see the other rooms, especially the chess pieces. I've got about 50 keys with wings waiting for a room to fly about in

Textorix Posted February 16, 2021 Posted February 16, 2021 Yeah so basically we can discuss here what we want and leakers can leak what they want on other sites but here they cant post pictures... okay so I think this weak its a great time we could get next minifigure leak
TheInvisibleMan Posted February 16, 2021 Posted February 16, 2021 How would we feel about the $250 set being a detailed representation of kings cross’s platform 9 3/4? Or even the bridge for the hogwart express (pretty iconic IMO)?..

He did amazing job with using platform from original Hogwarts express.

Give it a few years, have it as a PS/OotP mashup for the station building and include the Hogwarts Express and put it at a £350 or similar price point

I would be super disappointed... there are so many better things like Gringotts, more Hogwarts extensions (Bell towers), Ministry of Magic... those would add much more value/ play freatures than a bridge or a full kings cross station since we already have the plattform (at least in my opinion)

Nah we dont know if that means that leakers dont like new sets or it means that its not what we are guessing here. I think that august wave will not be based on DH and some sets will really suprise us but in the end we will get Gringotts. I mean it has to be Gringotts because from marketing point of view its the most logical thing for Lego to release after Diagon Alley. If they decided to make D2C set anyhing else (well except huge Hogwarts extension) it just wouldnt sell that well. Edited February 16, 2021 by Textorix

Modal Posted February 16, 2021 Posted February 16, 2021 (edited) The big sets are going to be some obscure thing or set that isn’t like a traditional building or scene and we’re all going to be pissed but like “maybe it could be cool?” But no one really wants it. There now we can move on to 2022 :( Edited February 16, 2021 by Modal
