Huskers1236 Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 A lot will have to do with the minifigure selection they put in the various sets. I see the D2C having the most affect on 4842 as you will be able to get a better version of the castle for the same as current New prices. That will knock it down a peg. If we're truly getting a Great Hall, I'm not sure that will mess with much as there isn't anything it's directly rehashing. The Ford set won't mess with anything outside of maybe Privot Drive and if you're still sitting on those you are a certified hoarder. If it is simply the Whomping Willow scene it will be gold for anyone wanting to add that to their castle. The Aragog set may mess with Forbidden Forest, but only if we see similar figures. The great thing about many of the Harry Potter sets is that they aren't adversaries to each other, but can be used in conjunction so much better than other themes to add onto your castle. The early versions did a great job of this giving you many of the different rooms. If the new D2C has a basement and includes a Basilisk/Chamber of Secrets it could be really freaking cool. I should probably curb my enthusiasm, however. 2 Quote
nolanfan34 Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 The price on the D2C will be really interesting to see. I just built 4842 this weekend, and at 1200 pieces they really could do a lot if they merely doubled the piece count and expanded the rooms. Multiple levels would be cool, but not holding out hope for that. I am anticipating a playset with a more elaborate exterior and more depth from front to back to allow for some expanded rooms. Spoiler (lol) - for the Great Hall, doesn't Harry's final duel with Voldemort end up there? A final duel sort of set would be cool, they haven't done that I believe (I don't have all of the old HP sets memorized). Quote

I believe you're correct that in the book, the final showdown takes place in the Great Hall. But in the movie, weren't they in some courtyard outside the castle? Quote

Popular Post buidee Posted January 9, 2018 Popular Post Posted January 9, 2018 I not worried at all. Well actually, I started selling my Harry Potter sets when I first heard rumors of the new Harry Potter sets for 2018. These are my sets with boxes, I actually have tons without boxes. But by mid summer, I should have sold all of my Harry Potter inventory. 12 Quote

Absolutely! The inside looks a lot like something Lego could do. The outside looks fantastic as well (although Lego would probably use multiple colours of pieces mixed together to make it less dull... maybe including the grey piece that looks like bricks, probably most notably used in Helm's Deep). Mind you, the outside would look less plain with some of the characters on the outside as well, so who knows. This moc is awesome though... I sure as heck want it! 1 Quote
HandyHand Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 Awesome MOC ! It's like a Harry Potter dollhouse ! Quote
Dr.Dad Posted January 13, 2018 Posted January 13, 2018 Love the MOC!! The open back design reminds me of the recent Disney Castle, which I love bc of the different room scenes. The kids love the playability of having the different rooms and nooks and crannies. Quote
vicious_violet Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 I managed to pick up a sealed Hogwarts 4867 today for only $50. Can't decide whether to keep a while or flip now. Nice mf selection should keep its value but I'm a real novice and don't know much. 2 Quote

Basically the Death Star of Harry Potter, i.e. series of vignettes of important locations and scenes, while having a macro scale castle as the facade. Quote
BigBrickFanatic Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 I hope they make a reasonably priced set with the Ford Anglia..the other two are way to expensive it seems Quote

These will probably be 20% off out of the gate and there should be opportunities to get them for 30-50% off at Target, Walmart, B&N, etc. Quote

Dr Jedi Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 I saw this list on Brick Fan earlier tonight. I'll be surprised if it's accurate. Way too many obscure characters. No bad guys (so far), and no teachers except Hooch? I fully believe there's a CMF series coming with that D2C Hogwarts, but I think it will have a few more common characters (Dumbledore, Snape, Voldemort, ?Malfoy) as well as possibly multiple versions of Harry, Ron and Hermione. I also wouldn't be surprised to see a few Fantastic Beasts figures infiltrate this series. Quote

If that's true, I feel like the figure under Hooch will be Gilderoy Lockhart. Especially as the set leaks seem to resemble those two movies as well. 1 Quote
