LEGO Wizarding World Harry Potter Quidditch Match (75956) Review

October 27, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Continuing with my reviews of the revived LEGO Wizarding World Harry Potter sets, the next set I’ll be taking a look at is the Quidditch Match (75956). It consists of 500 pieces and retails for $39.99. The set looks similar to its previous iterations but this one takes elements from the other ones and combine them into one larger set. I believe this set is based on both the Sorcerer’s Stone and Prisoner of Azkaban and you’ll see why throughout the review.

October 27, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

LEGO Wizarding World Harry Potter Diagon Alley (40289)

A few weeks ago, I reported that the upcoming LEGO Harry Potter Diagon Alley (40289) set was rumored to be a November promotion and it looks like that has been confirmed on LEGO Shop@Home. According to the description on the product page of the set, it will be available at LEGO Brand Stores and Shop@Home from November 9-21 with purchases of $99 or more, while supplies last.

As mentioned before, the Diagon Alley includes micro versions of Gringotts, Ollivanders, Flourish and Blotts, and Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes as well as an exclusive Ollivander minifigure. Thanks to Promobricks for the heads up.

LEGO Wizarding World Fantastic Beasts Amazon Sales

October 20, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald will be in theaters in a few short weeks and recently LEGO has released a few sets based on the first two Fantastic Beasts movies. Amazon currently has those two sets on sale at which are the lowest they’ve been on the site. Newt’s Case of Magical Creatures (75952) is 20% off and is holding at $40 which is $10 off the regular price. This is a really fun build and I do recommend it based on my review.

The other set that is on sale is Grindelwald’s Escape (75951) which is based on the upcoming movie. It is 16% off and is priced at $16.82. My review of this set can be checked out here.

LEGO Harry Potter Bricktober 2018 (5005254) Barnes & Noble Update #2

October 17, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

It’s been really quiet here in terms of LEGO news simply because there’s nothing to report on but that’ll change soon. In the meantime, there’s another update on the ongoing saga which is for the LEGO Harry Potter Bricktober 2018 (5005254) set. A few days ago, I reported that people have either been finding then in stores or was able to order them in store. Since that time, they are not allowing any orders to be placed on it in stores and any sets they have on hand will not be sold as there is now a strict no-sale policy on it until the end of November. From what I’ve been told on the previous post, they won’t be released until November 17.

If this wasn’t frustrating enough, another person from a different store mentioned that all four Bricktober 2018 sets will be at Barnes & Noble. I can’t vouch for that but I wouldn’t be surprised as this is the first time that we’ve heard that all four sets would be at B&N.

As I mentioned on Twitter, I don’t know what is going on with the Bricktober sets. So far, it’s been short of a disaster as everyone involved has still not said anything helpful so we’re still at the wait and see stage.

LEGO Harry Potter Bricktober 2018 (5005254) Barnes & Noble Update

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

LEGO and Barnes & Noble have been pretty quiet about the upcoming Bricktober 2018 promotion for the Harry Potter (5005254) set but I have managed to get bits of details about how to get it. Some people have already managed to find them in stores and purchase them by themselves. They were found at or around the small LEGO section. There’s supposedly a promotion that is attached to it but there are no details for that.

I also heard that you could also ask an employee to see if you can put in a order them. The UPC is 673419294300 and it’ll only work if the warehouse for your store already has them allocated. I could not order it yet but I was told to check back regularly. The price on it was $7.99 each.

LEGO Harry Potter Diagon Alley (40289) Reported to be November Promotion

October 7, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

A few months ago, we got our first look at the LEGO Wizarding World Harry Potter Diagon Alley (40289) promotional set and I’ve gotten reported details on how it will be available. My source has told me that it will be available starting on November 9 with purchases of $99 or more. It’s interesting that the promotion is not listed on the November 2018 LEGO Store Calendar. There’s no mention on when the promotion will end but I assume it’ll be before the Black Friday promotions start unless LEGO is being generous and lets it run until the end of the month.

As for the set itself, it consists of mini buildings of Gringotts Wizarding Bank, Ollivanders, Flourish & Blotts, Quality Quiddich Supplies and Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes and it also includes an exclusive Ollivander minifigure.
