Guest TabbyBoy Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Looks VERY incomplete. It would be nice to have it enclosed on all sides and have it hinged. An overpriced £84.99 in the UK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The description says you can link it with another set - 75953 Whomping Willow, so it´s basically Rancor Pit for Potterites.

Guest TabbyBoy Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 With HP being a very distant memory, has the ship sailed on this theme? I'd like to MOC Hogwarts if I can get enough of those sets at a huge discount. I'd not risk investing in these as it's been too long IMHO.

I can´t remember an official unveil so early. Perhaps more to come at New York Toy Fair tomorrow. Edited February 16, 2018 by Val-E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val-E Posted February 16, 2018 Author Share Posted February 16, 2018 It´s early days but I reckon swapping Nexo and SH girls for HP and JW was a winning move. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scatmanjack Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 So will LEGO keep the short legs for rumored upcoming Potter CMF line? or will they get regular legs if the costume/outfit is from a later book... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huskers1236 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 These pics even better than the HP 2018 thread. Am I blind? Where is Fawkes? Basilisk is a little lame seeing it here. Just noticed they gave the students short legs. Not sure how I feel about that yet, though it makes little difference. I think one of the best things about this update is the wands are actually wands, not bars. FTW, Lego. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CosmicSpeed Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I am guessing there will be yearly additions to match this set; probably in line with the books regarding the content of each. This looks interesting, not s super fan of HP, but I grew up with the books so Ill probably get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t_mafia Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Honestly, I think they did a pretty good job on this set. Quite a few minifigures and a pretty big set for $100 USD. The blip about the Whomping Willow is good news, as are the holes to attach to other sets. Minifigures are a little strange... faces and hair seem more comical/childish than the older HP sets (where the characters looked pretty good in my opinion). I would have preferred if the figs had the full legs but it doesn't prevent me from liking the set. With 10 figs in this one, I have high hopes for the D2C. A Diggory, Delacour, Luna with Ravenclaw torso, and Slughorn (though that is a long shot) would be the ones I want most. Other ones could perhaps be another Weasley brothers, ghosts. The Susan Bones makes me think they are not afraid to add lesser known characters so perhaps even some of the other characters that haven't been made yet (Crouch, Maxime, Fudge, Kingsley, Tonks, etc.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longshot Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 (edited) I really like the older HP line and have built most of them recently from a collection I was able to pick up.......... Couple things, Basilisk is extremely lame compared to the original one, short legs on the main characters is strange and over all the whole building seems very squat compared to the height of the older sets. The over all proportions are way off. Look at the height of the doors of the hall compared to the buttresses. I do like some of the new pieces and the overall color scheme of the set though........... Hopefully future sets are far better thought out IMO.
