Modal Posted February 16, 2021 Posted February 16, 2021 (edited) Honest question, would anyone here like, or dare I say prefer, the $250 to be a statue of something ala Yoda/Star Wars head busts? I don’t think that’s love or hate, I think that’s just hate Edited February 16, 2021 by Modal

If they break my trust like this, they don't deserve a second chance. It's like finding out your prestige pupil is just as bad as the rest of them
Metanoios Posted February 16, 2021 Posted February 16, 2021 (edited) Maybe the wave is a tie-in with the vidiyo theme and Harry, Ron and Hermione are joining the Unicorn in the K-PAWP-Genre of the vidiyo app. It's already confirmed that we are getting a (furry) Cat-Hermione and this would certainly shock me Edited February 16, 2021 by Metanoios91

I don’t think that’s love or hate, I think that’s just hate Not at $250, but I wouldn’t mind a buildable Dobby. I built Baby Yoda over Christmas and it was a really fun build. Also the library where I first read HP in had a life size Dobby statue, so I’m a bit nostalgic for it.
Metanoios Posted February 16, 2021 Posted February 16, 2021 The 250$ D2C could also just be a package deal of 4 Harry Potter art sets titled "The Hogwarts Crest"

BrickBob Studpants Posted February 16, 2021 Posted February 16, 2021 (edited) They like to see us suffer, knowing full well what kind of torture awaits us Or the wave is so horrible every leaker is afraid of reporting on it for fear of the fans tearing them to shreds 12 minutes ago, Guyon2002 said: Pretty close, it's a 100% accurate life-size set of The Mysterious Ticking Noise It‘s still better than what we end up getting, isn‘t it Edited February 16, 2021 by Lego-Freak

My daughter as a toddler was so afraid of the Dobby at our library that I had to shield her eyes every time we entered or exited the kid section. 😂 Now she is obsessed and would also go for a buildable Dobby.

Likely so Lego don't clamp down on their source of information, either by cutting them off or by in some way punishing the person who provided their information. I for one would rather have a couple of people who know what's coming and can drop little titbits, having their fun taunting us all in the meantime, than have literally nothing at all until the sets are announced. As for the prospect that Gringott's won't come: I welcome it. I've never understood people's eagerness to see it, the building is nothing special imo and all the possible figures are things we've seen before (Harry, Ron, Hermione, Hagrid, Bellatrix). I'd much rather get something left-field - perhaps a Riddle House D2C?

Solid logic. I think they were referring to the comments like "lowering expectations" and "you'll be shocked", not so much your joke. Think for a lot of people it's just that these comments get them a bit on edge when they don't know what's going on. Not having a go. Just explaining. :-D
BrickBob Studpants Posted February 16, 2021 Posted February 16, 2021 I hope something from the June sets leaks soon to get my mind off the horrible aura surrounding the August sets I fully expect the latter wave to be the GOT S8 of this theme, so let's enjoy the June sets (GOT S5-6 or so?) before the Kre-O hits the fan We desperately need something positive to discuss
Flixter Posted February 16, 2021 Posted February 16, 2021 2 minutes ago, Textorix said: Anniversary Gringotts confirmed I'd personally like maybe Grimmauld place or even Malfoy manor, which is doubtful I think, but would be good. Gringotts is okay, but I feel like it must cost more than $250 Maybe Ministry of Magic? Would be good Or Knockturn Alley. I think this one would be perfect, since we even have an enter to Knockturn alley in Diagon Alley set

Heck, the entirety of Potter Puppet Pals is great. I showed my daughter them a few years ago and she couldn't stop laughing. I was obsessed with those videos when they came out over a decade ago...

Taunting is the wrong word here. If it wasn’t for things me and guyon have mentioned people would still be thinking we are getting things that we are not getting. Just because we can’t reveal everything doesn’t mean we can help guide people in the right direction

May I remind you of the following three paraphrased statements: „significantly lower your expectations“, „you’re in for a shock“, and „you‘d be surprised at how bad it could get“

It's just blackness for more than an hour... and me trying to figure out what's happening.
doclord Posted February 16, 2021 Posted February 16, 2021 I think it's going to end up being something similar to the infamous Attack on Hoth, just with Harry Potter theming.
