Fawkes! Leaked! In sketch form.

So there's been a crackdown on the individuals leaking the photographic material for the coming sets. Personally, I think it generates buzz, and that's a good thing, the dribs and drabs that keep us hanging on, ever eager for the next crumb, but obviously that's lego's call. One such individual, cmf-wotsit, has developed a workaround, which is sketching the new sets. We've now had confirmation via Fateful that the sketches line up with the pics they've seen for the Hogwarts Express Bookends, and it seems worth posting the latest sketch for 76448 Dumbledore’s Phoenix (previously $19.99, I'd expect it to go for $23 USD off of recent information about pricing).

We had two likely choices for this set, a small buildable creature or Dumbledore's actual Office (probably the scene where Fawkes helps Dumbles escape, or maybe the one where he regenerates). It looks like we now know which of the two it's going to be. Spoilers beneath the fold. ( Read more... )
