Make Your Own LEGO Harry Potter Chocolate Frog Cards

August 6, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Currently, the hottest LEGO theme right now is probably the LEGO Wizarding World sets which comprise of Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts. Fans have been thoroughly enjoying the return of Harry Potter and have been experimenting with some of the new parts from the new wand sprues which has been documented by New Elementary and also creating new Harry Potter MOCs. One that I’ve came across and have been told about are the Chocolate Frog Cards by Daan de Ruijter. The Chocolate Frogs were first seen on the Hogwarts Express in The Sorcerer’s Stone and with the sweets, there’s also collectible cards of famous wizards and witches.

Daan has made a very good replica of the card featuring the new Albus Dumbledore minifigure from the latest Collectible Minifigures (71022) series. Seeing that he has gotten some great responses from his first image, he has graciously provided the building instructions over on his website and has even provided the parts list as well. You can even customize it to whichever wizard or witch that you desire by switching out the minifigure. The only hard thing is making the stickers for the names.

LEGO Harry Potter Mini Hogwarts Express Building Instructions

August 4, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Earlier today, Barnes & Noble held a building event for a mini LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Express. Eagle-eyed readers recognize that it is the same build is the same one as in the LEGO Dimensions Harry Potter Team Pack (71247) but for those who didn’t purchase the game a few years ago, LEGO decided to release this build again for those who attended. Thanks to my friend, Kelly, we have the building instructions for the mini Hogwarts Express as well as the parts list.

August 3, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The next series of reviews that I will be doing are for the new LEGO Wizarding World Harry Potter sets that have just recently been released and the first set I’ll be taking a look at is Aragog’s Lair (75950) which is a scene from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. It is the second smallest set in the wave coming in at 157 pieces and retails for $14.99. The contents of the box include three unnumbered bags and a small instructions booklet.

LEGO Harry Potter Barnes & Noble Mini Hogwarts Express

Barnes & Noble has announced there will be a LEGO Harry Potter Mini Hogwarts Express build and take event at select stores this Saturday at 2pm local time. There will be limited quantaties and sign-ups may be required so there is a chance that there won’t be enough for walk-ups so call your local store to see if they are participating in the event. You can also check the events calendar at your nearest store to see if the LEGO Harry Potter event is listed.

LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Castle (71043) Store Pre-Orders in Canada

July 30, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

LEGO Wizarding World Harry Potter Hogwarts Castle (71043)

A few days ago, I reported that LEGO Stores here in the US were taking pre-orders for the upcoming LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Castle (71043) and now it looks like LEGO Stores in Canada are also doing the same thing as well. All you have to do is put down $40 and you’re guaranteed a set when it is released next month. I’m sure there will be some logistics for them to figure out such as having a separate line for pre-orders and those who didn’t when the store opens.

This LEGO pre-ordering system in-store seems like a new endeavor to help guage how the demand will be for a particular set. I wished it was implemented during the release of the UCS Millennium Falcon (75192) but I assume this was put in place because of what happened with the Falcon and I hope they keep doing it for big future releases. The Hogwarts Castle will be available on August 15 for VIP members and on September 1 for the general public.

Thanks to Jerry for the heads up.

LEGO Stores Taking Pre-Orders for LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Castle (71043)?

July 26, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Castle (71043) was just announced yesterday morning and it’ll be available on August 15 for VIP members and September 1 for the general public. I’ve been told by a source that LEGO Stores may be taking pre-orders for this set as there was a sign in the front stating “Ask us about how to Pre-Order our new Exclusive.” I was also told that the deposit for it was $39.99. I’m not sure if all LEGO Stores are doing pre-orders but it’s interesting to see LEGO trying something new for their exclusive sets as there will be a high demand for the Hogwarts Castle when it comes out in a few short weeks. I suggest contact your store to see if they are indeed taking pre-orders for it. I haven’t been down to my store yet to check but if someone did do it, let us know in the comments.

If you didn’t see the announcement post, Hogwarts Castle (71043) will become the second largest ever LEGO set coming in at 6,020 pieces and it will retail for $399.99. Head over to the link above to see the press release as well as a ton of images that LEGO has sent over.
