It’s great to see that the LEGO Harry Potter line continues with new sets. I find it especially exciting that we are getting additional sets to connect to each other for a larger layout. While we’re waiting for the new sets, you can check out the current selection at the LEGO Harry Potter section of the Online LEGO Shop.

So, great Harry potter sets. I have the older version of attack of the burrows but, this looks a little bigger. I may or may not get it at least maybe the last set on my list to get. I love the gawp big figure. More importantly I love the centaurs. They are so cool. I may get a couple of this set to make a centaur army.
It’s nice to see that Umbridge and Slughorn have found their way into the main line of sets. I had expected they might stay exclusive to the Harry Potter Bricktober pack which was sold from Barnes & Noble for a while.
Why would Lego sell the owl exclusively at Barnes and Noble? They went out of business here in Michigan and I won’t shop with them because of dirty business practices in regards to other book sellers. How do I get VIP points if I can’t get it from Lego directly. Again, Lego is ruining the way it should be done. I won’t buy it from an exclusive seller. I’ll Brinklink build it. instead. Lego loses my business on this one. Dang that just sucks. Just like all their exclusives. If It isn’t on Lego .com it shouldn’t be for sale anywhere.
Hmmm, finally some centaur molds. Tempting to get one, as I’m a Sagittarius…
I believe some third party company had produced something very similr years ago…
Yeah, someone in the Brickset comments was comparing these new centaur molds to something produced previously by Brickarms or Brickforge. Personally, I don’t put much stock in it – the idea of using the lower half of the standard horse mold and adding minifig pegs is a pretty reasonable conclusion to come to, and could have been reached independently by two separate companies.
So… it looks like they stole the centaur design from Brickforge? They also stole Brickforge’s pig years ago. Just saying.
Possibly. It could also be a design generic enough that it could be a coincidence, though…
Their sheep still lacks a Lego equivalent, however. (Lego only produces a Friends sheep which fits worse with Minifig aestethics…)
Alas, it seems that ordering from US to Europe has gotten a lot more complicated lately…
i just told my son we need to start thinking about Mother’s Day gifts since we’ll may have to get something online. He found a video on these new sets. He realized the sets don’t come out till August. So Hedwig may be a birthday present.
I don’t like that it is a B&N exclusive. They did a lot of their employees wrong a few years ago.
I’d love to figure out which end of the combined HP sets the Astronomy Tower is designed to attach to. I was originally thinking that it would go on the end of the clock tower, but that seems unlikely since it would have two tall towers next to each other. Trying to plan ahead and make room on my HP area for it. 🙂
I’m only interested in the astronomy tower for now.
