Yesterday before everything got taken down, the LEGO Shop revealed some new advent calendars and one of them was the LEGO Harry Potter 2023 Advent Calendar (76418). It has 227 pieces and retails for $44.99. It should be released on September 1.
This year’s calendar revolves around Hogsmeade with items that can be found in various shops. The minifigures included are Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, Draco Malfoy, Madam Rosmerta, and Aberforth Dumbledore.
It looks like LEGO put up the product pages for the LEGO Seasonal Christmas 2023 sets today but those pages have since been taken down. Fortunately, Brickset was able to scrape the images before they got taken down and we now have a first look at two of those sets which include the Nutcracker (40640) and the Gingerbread Ornaments (40642). For the 208 piece Nutcracker, you can rebuild it to have different faces. The ornaments have 190 pieces, you get a blank slate and can customize it to your liking.
There’s no pricing listed yet and I’m guessing they’ll be available in September or October.
There are now official images of the LEGO Marvel Studios Collectible Minifigures Series 2 (71039). Releasing on September 1, there are 12 characters to collect but this time, you won’t be able to feel for them as they are now packaged in sealed boxes. They should still retail for $4.99 each but expect to see a lot of open boxes in stores.
