t_mafia Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 I'm impressed by what has been shown so far. The first leaked pictures of the COS set looked meh, it's looking much better from the front. Chess looks nice, I was wondering how they were going to be able to sell it for the listed price with so many minifigures, so the fact that they are all brick build clears that up. My take on the buildable figures: Lego has figured out that people will buy regular sets with minifigures, Brickheadz, Brick Sketches, head pieces/busts/helmets, and now these. Selling the same thing in 4 different sizes, which is why I quit brickheadz. I think they're cool but just couldn't deal with another completion Now wait on the D2C. It sounded for the longest time like it would be 7th movie/book Gringotts with Dragon, but now it seems to be "various buildable objects" which would be kind of a bummer imo with the content available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the big picture thing for me (a fan of LEGO and HP) is after seeing these images I am "excited" and that bolds well for the series and overall for HP reselling. Old or new, when consumers are excited about a brand...everything sells. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coelian Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 I like the new Fawkes set, I wonder what else will they make? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coelian Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 All sets have been revealed, https://www.stonewars.de/news/vorstellung-harry-potter-sommer-2021/ The good news is that none of the gold figures is in a 400 bucks set. The chess set is close to the movie material but for some reason I feel a little underwhelmed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KShine Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Lots of excellent sets in this wave. I just wish that the family still had some LEGO enthusiasm left in them. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really hope they don't re-release the BrickHeadz as previous ones performing very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same design like the old ones, except they will have an additional 1x2 flat for each leg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrickLink says it was but tbh I have no idea! I think this set was in their limited toy department back in the day. I believe they have only had a formal lego section the last few years.

Voltron Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 New pictures of 40495 brickheads set leaked on Instagram. 4 pack of Harry / Ron / Hermione and Hagrid. Hagrod looks like same build as previously just with different clothes, the rest are shorter in height. I think this will affect previous sets sales, but the BrickHeadz completionists will still want the originals as they look better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think 40495 will be a threat to previous Harry (includes Hedwig), Ron + Dumbledore, or Hermione BHz. Hagrid is slightly different but if you want Buckbeak, you'll still want the original. This new set has child versions of the kids. I really dislike the glasses for Harry. They are worse than Robin's from series 1. https://www.promobricks.de/lego-40495-brickheadz-harry-potter/121579/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortbus311 Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Yeah, I still have a few of each of the original HP BHDZ, and was wondering if I should sell them prior to the release of this 4 pack. But after seeing the pictures, I think I will continue to hold my remaining supply.Sent from my SM-G960U1 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
