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.

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.

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.
