Sandwraith Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Not a Harry Potter fan, but it looks pretty cool, quite like it actually. I don't mind the nanofigs, but the ones that should have longer hair look silly without it. The scale would work well for my needs in displaying if i ever decided to get it, definitely not at $500 CAD though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quacs Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 I checked with the Lego Store near me, and it sounds like they are accepting pre-orders for this. You will have to put $40 down in store and they will hold one for you day one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTL Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Lego stores are taking pre-orders for this. Just got one in at the store near me and the cashier said they were expecting around 50 on release day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siddji Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Interesting .... I’m going to check with my Lego store to see if they will do the same . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolanfan34 Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Boy people are hard to please! I get some of the critiques but man, what else can they do. They seem to be hopefully heading down a path where they'll release a few more castle sets to put a Hogwarts together (need a Gryffindor Tower set) in more of a minifig scale. This is an awesome display model though. I'm amazed they didn't price it at $499, I think it sells easily with that many pieces (I get there are a lot of small ones). I'm excited because it also looks fun to build! Few repetitive sections and I'm sure tons of creative techniques you can't even see in the pics. For me they knocked it out of the park on this one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pebble&Park Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 The set looks amazing to me, the only serious error was the lack of a Hagrid figure. Will be a day 1 purchase for this household and probably built first among the new wave of HP sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eliminator Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Canadian stores are also doing this, my local store has 80 spots. Have to go in-store to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eliminator Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Quick flip possibilities for this? There’s doesn’t seem to be much of a buzz here.... overshadowed by all the other recent and pending HP sets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All depends how many TLG make in the first run and how long it takes to replenish if it does OOS. Other stores won´t be getting these till late October so there is a possible pre-xmas window too.

Well, I suppose it's because Lego consider this their "Flagship" store as well as largest store in the world. As a London boy I'd say it's because the store is in the greatest city in the world ;-) Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear the new "flagship" store will be in Beijing, China...next to the Lepin "flagship" store. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exciter1 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 I put my first ever pre-order in for this thing today. Not sure why, I just watched the first movie last week. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosmicSpeed Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 I saw this in store today. Very impressive and lots of detail. Displaying this monstrosity will be an issue for sure. You will want to access both sides (or just one depending on how you plan on using the set) and NOT want to move it. Actually, not even sure how you would do such a move, maybe a carrying technique like the UCS MF will be available. The footprint of this set is very large, maybe the largest yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk As a fellow patriot, I'd love to 100% agree with you, but London WAS the greatest city in the World. To be honest, I was quite surprised how small the Leicester Square shop was so FOK how tiny the others must be. It was my first visit to a LEGO store and one I won't queue up again for. I've seen more stock in Smyths and John Lewis branches! J K Rowling actually deserves the credit for designing Hogwarts ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shewie Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Dubai store is much bigger than London One, new HK store is bigger than Leicester as well. Calculating the space they are calculating overall used square meter space including office, backoffice, main storage and underground warehouse where they keep darth revan's polybags red arm c3-po and R2-D2 buildable poly in amount of hundreds in large stacking bins.
