August 25, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The LEGO Wizarding World Harry Potter theme has had a very warm welcome back and along with this theme, we also get a Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts Collectible Minifigures (71022) line and the set has the most minifigures that has been in a Collectible Minifigures series coming in at a whopping 22 characters. The series consist of characters from both the Harry Potter movies as well as the first Fantastic Beasts movie. Each packet costs $3.99 each and I’ll do a breakdown of the distribution at the end of the review.

LEGO Harry Potter Diagon Alley (40289) Found in LEGO Certified Store

August 24, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Yesterday I made a speculative post on a potential LEGO Harry Potter Diagon Alley set which was supposedly teased in the Hogwarts Castle designer video and it looks like that set is real. According to Brickset, a mini Diagon Alley (40289) has been found on store shelves in a Slovenia LEGO Certified Store. The set consists of Gringotts Wizarding Bank, Ollivanders, Flourish & Blotts, Quality Quiddich Supplies and Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes and it also includes an exclusive Ollivander minifigure.

There’s no word yet on pricing or release date at this time but at least we know the set actually exists and it fits the scale of Hogwarts Castle (71043). What do you guys think of the set?

LEGO Diagon Alley Teaser in Hogwarts Castle Designer Video?

August 23, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Here’s some news of a potential future LEGO Wizarding World Harry Potter set which comes from the Hogwarts Castle (71043) designer video. A little past the halfway point of the video at 4:30, you can see something blurred out in the background and the rumor is that it could be a mini Diagon Alley. You can see the purple and orange building which could be Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes. The left building with the white columns could be the Gringotts Wizarding Bank. The middle building is still a mystery to me but I would assume would be Ollivanders since that is one of the most notable shops in Diagon Alley.

Do you guys think that the blurred buildings in the background is Diagon Alley or just something LEGO put there for more detailing for Hogwarts? We do know that LEGO likes to throw in teasers for upcoming sets in their videos and images so there’s a slight chance that we could get Diagon ALley.

LEGO Wizarding World Newt’s Case of Magical Creatures (75952) Review

August 12, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

J.K. Rowling’s newest series of movies for the the Wizarding World kicked off in 2016 with Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. To much dismay of LEGO fans, there were no LEGO system sets that were produced for the movie which was interesting however there some LEGO Dimensions sets but they weren’t the same. Fast forward to this year and LEGO has revived the Harry Potter theme with the Wizarding World tie-in and there is finally a Fantastic Beasts set that is worth waiting for with Newt’s Case of Magical Creatures (75952). The set has 694 pieces and retails for $49.99. The contents of the box include four numbered bags, a bagged wing for the Thunderbird, a small sticker sheet, and two instruction booklets.

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.
