The D2C Burrow LEAK!

[gingerwitch.livejournal.com]

We have our first (tiny and blurry) Burrow leak! Release date 1st September. With a 1st September "Back to Hogwarts" campaign, lego seem to have found their answer for the Harry Potter theme to the "May the 4th be with you" from the Star Wars line.



76437 - The Burrow: Collectors Edition (18+) will be a Direct to Customer (D2C) set, only available for purchase on the lego website. It will have 2405 pieces and is expected to retail for US $259.99 - DE/FR €259.99 - UK £219.99.

Minifigures should include: Harry Potter, Molly Weasley, Aurthur Weasley, Bill Weasley, Charlie Weasley, Percy Weasley, Fred Weasley, George Weasley, Ron Weasley, Ginny Weasley, in what is clearly a triumph of gingers, and Bill's and Charlie's first appearances as minifigures, and Percy has only previously been included in an artificially inflated (there's literally nearly a centimetre of empty space in the width of the book) and overpriced book. Charlie's inclusion is especially nice as he only appears in a picture of the family's trip to Egypt in the films.

2020's 75980 Attack on the Burrow is a great set, and I honestly don't think they can tempt me with this one, both because of its price and my ever shrinking space. That said, it's looking good, and I can't wait to see the pictures of the interior and the minifigs. 😊

I have thus far not managed to purchase any Burrow sets, so probably will continue in that vein. Eventually, I may want to get the missing Weasleys (Bill, Charlie, & Percy), just to complete the family. Though I admit, it looks structurally interesting, as in how does Lego manage to make that higgledy piggledy house held together by magic actually stand. Thanks for the fun update!

Unless the minifigs are especially good, I think I would stick with custom MOC versions of the characters. I can't believe they'd be worth the price.

I look forward to doing the digital build, however.
