HARRY POTTER RETURNS

[Greg Schubert]

@hannah133 @rcgrier3406 @timf The new Harry Potter sets are arriving! Today I saw a single copy of the Expecto Patronum set at Walmart. This may be might favorite among the new sets, especially because of the dementors. Also, the curator of the LEGO North Pole sure hopes that TLG plans to make that awesome reindeer in a color other than trans-clear blue!!!

The new Hungarian Horntail, Hogwart’s Clock Tower, Buckbeak’s Rescue, and Knight Bus are also available online. Currently listed as “coming soon” are Beauxbaton’s Carriage and the Rise of Voldemort.

For $30 the Hungarian Horntail will be a “no brainer” for me to add to my Hogwarts! At first glance, I may even end up changing a few things (like the legs) to make it look more “realistic” (Ha, I just said “more realistic” for an imaginary creature!! Just means I’m off the deep end on some of this HP stuff!!).

wow these new sets look amazing!! I agree with Bob; for $30 that’s a no brainer to get the Hungarian horntail! It’s too bad the licensed sets aren’t eligible for the 15% off with AFOL day this weekend :/ At least I think that’s the rule. Regardless, thinking I’ll pick at least one of these new ones up on Saturday.

I don’t recall licensed items being excluded, but I think there is an individual item price limit of around $150. The rules that Josh posted in 2016 are …

I have seen the sets all month at Barnes and Noble and did notice the Expecto Petronum and Night Bus sets at Walmart last week. Looking forward to a HP Christmas!

Dang it! I modified it quickly but for some reason you still got the old text. Interesting. It is showing fixed as it sits today.

Either way, we should build a Bud Knight; full scale!

. . . The chase is ON!! Latest addition to my Hogwarts layout!! Minor modifications to the feet to make it “castle adaptable”, and I added an additional segment to the neck!

by the way @hannah, I did get the 15% discount on this at AFOL day, so at $25.49 is was not only a “no brainer”, but a “what are you waiting for”!!

looks good!

I am so out of LEGO news that I don’t even know that new sets are coming until they are on the shelf at Target! This Hogsmeade set is one that I was tantalized to purchase on the spot.

I really like the Hogsmeade set. I have not seen that before either (just like you, a bit out of the loop on new sets right now). Are the green Honeydukes windows a single piece or are they individual window elements?

They are stickers from what I have seen.
