gingerwitch.livejournal.comHa! Pictures! Famous last words about when we'd see the pictures from the set, huh? Photos beneath the fold. ( Read more... )
gingerwitch.livejournal.comHagrid and Harry Pix have leaked!
Nov. 22nd, 2024 02:33 amgingerwitch.livejournal.comPix have leaked of the new lego Harry Potter Winter 2025 wave set 76443 Hagrid and Harry's Motorcycle Ride with Hagrid on his motorcycle and Harry in the sidecar with a buildable Hedwig. The set with 617 pieces is due out in January 2025. ( Read more... )
gingerwitch.livejournal.comIt looks like some parts of Europe will be getting their own "build a lego Harry Potter freebie" in the weeks to come in the form of a small Hogwarts Express set to build and keep.
On the 4th and 5th of September, from 3 to 5 pm, the German, Austrian and Swiss lego stores are expected to have their own Back to Hogwarts event with a little Hogwarts Express. Contact your local store to see if they're participating. Supplies are limited, first come, first serve, and only one engine per person. ( Read more... )
If you miss out, don't worry. It looks like it's only 43 pieces, and unlike this year's Barnes & Noble build, none of them are exclusive.

gingerwitch.livejournal.comSo in this winter's lego Harry Potter winter 2024 wave, we got a cute little Ford Anglia set (lego 76424 Flying Ford Anglia - 165 pieces $15 | 15 EUR | £13). And as part of this summer's lego Harry Potter summer 2024 wave, we're getting a suitably terrifying Aragog set (76434 Aragog in the Forbidden Forest - 195 pieces $20 | 20 EUR | £18). While I love that they're actually producing small sets for the theme that can make a nice little present without breaking the bank, I have to ask: why didn't we get the first ever battered Ford Anglia from the scene with Aragog? All told, there have been 5 regular and one microscale Ford Anglias in sets in the 23 years of lego Harry Potter sets, and not one of them has been the mangled version we see at the end of CoS. (And that's not counting the nanoscale Ford Anglia builds in 2023's lego 76419 Hogwarts Castle and Grounds, 2022's 76404 lego Harry Potter Advent Calendar, and 2018's lego 71043 nanoscale Hogwarts Castle.) Why not? In fact, there are so few pieces required to make the change, I'd really like to know why they didn't include the pieces for both versions. If you're doing it from the outset, it's so much cheaper, and it would have barely dented the budget. Make it a dollar | Euro | pound more if that's what it takes, but they'd be giving us two builds for the price.
As this is a MOC (My Own Creation), there are certain considerations to make it more successful, and I'll explain those in more detail beneath the fold. ( Read more... )
