Given how suggestions have coalesced around the trifecta of Gringotts/Belltower/Grimmauld Place, it wouldn't take long for process of elimination to tell us the answer. It's probably not worth their access to information to give us this, since the confirmation will leave a finite amount of possibilities and back them into a corner in terms of not lying and also not telling us exactly what's coming.

To be fair, I don't think expecting either DH sets or a Gringotts was really expecting too much considering Lego had set a pattern with working through the films and Gringotts seemed like the obvious add on to DA, but clearly Lego have other ideas.

Metanoios Posted February 16, 2021 Posted February 16, 2021 Maybe GOT Season 8 is the perfect metaphor for the Harry Potter theme. At the beginning it's all hype and they can do no wrong. Then the cracks begin to appear, but you are still on the hype train for Cleganebowl, Valonquar-prophecy, Bran-the-Builder (Gringotts, Grimmauld Place, ...) and you have to believe that it can only get better after season 6 and 7. First two episodes are not bad, then it goes down-hill fast and before it is over, you try to forget about all of it. Burning the bluray discs in their cases. Waiting for a book, that you know will never be published

Textorix Posted February 16, 2021 Posted February 16, 2021 (edited) I think they already kinda confirmed that its not Gringotts as that is something the most people are guessing Edited February 16, 2021 by Textorix

With how low my expectations are after the messy 2020 line and the warnings we've gotten the only way these sets could genuinely shock me is if they were actually good.
girlie-site-boots Posted February 16, 2021 Posted February 16, 2021 My thoughts are the $120 set must be Gringots. Fits with the lower expectations comment. I can't imagine Lego not doing Gringots at all. The $250 I'm stumped. It seems massive for it to be something that goes with the modular Hogwarts. So I'm bombing the idea out that it goes with them. The modular sets are aimed at the kid market and $250 is a heck of a size for kids set. Could it possibly be a remake of the micro castle??

Waiting for a book, that you know will never be published Idk man GoT the cracks began to show severely when they ran out of book material, aka season 5. Don’t need to remind anyone of that Dorne storyline... Let’s hope the HP LEGO line doesn’t end like that series lol
Textorix Posted February 16, 2021 Posted February 16, 2021 Remake of micro scale castle? Okay thats really wild guess. Even Star Wars doesnt do remakes of sets that are not retired. But I agree that Grindotts could be $120 set and not D2C one.
girlie-site-boots Posted February 16, 2021 Posted February 16, 2021 Actually a micro scale DA makes sense, or a micro scale Hogsmede. I'll put my money on a micro scale something.

Perhaps this is like the rebooted Doctor Who, moving into the fourth year where there are a few bright sparks but in general it's an absolute mess - but the next five years will be outstanding! And then Lego had best end it before they get to the Chibnall part of the timeline...

I can see the social media campaigns already #giveusDHsetsyoucowards All I can think is that we've set our own trap by making the theme that successful that Lego decides to draw it our for a few more years by throwing in (this hurts to say and I so hope the sets are not that bad) "filler". They will give us what we want in the end, but after they've made us buy the other sets because we're either a) a completionist, b) want the minifigures, or c) just desperate to keep the theme going so that they do give us the sets we want in the end. If they gave us everything now then they would have killed the golden goose so to speak. In the words of C-3PO 'We're doomed.'

BrickBob Studpants Posted February 16, 2021 Posted February 16, 2021 What confuses me is that people will either "love or hate" this wave. I can clearly see the latter, but who in their right mind would love any of the deliberately stupid stuff we've been compiling over the last week Then again, @Guyon2002 didn't specify which people would love it, maybe it's none of us but rather some psychopaths out there

It's entirely possible that the love-or-hate comment is spot on: something's coming that nobody's guessed yet, that some people will love and some people will hate. It might be something based on a book-only scene (the Hufflepuff common room/kitchens/Winky/Peeves). It might be based on a forgotten film scene (the underpass from Order of the Phoenix). It might be based on JK's unpublished notes (UCS bust of Sally-Anne Perks).
