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 Bricktober 2018 Sets Confirmed for Barnes & Noble

LEGO Harry Potter Bricktober 2018 (5005254)

Earlier today I reported that we finally get some images of the LEGO Bricktober 2018 sets which came from a Toys R Us Germany flyer. Unfortunaly for those countries including the US who doesn’t have a Toys R Us anymore, it was up in the air of which retailer would be getting the set. It has been confirmed on Twitter that Barnes & Noble, of all places, will be getting the sets later this year. There’s still no dates on when the LEGO Bricktober 2018 sets will be available but at least we know where we can get them.

Thanks to everyone who emailed in about this piece of news. I was at work and couldn’t update for the past few hours.

Update: LEGO just clarified that only the LEGO Harry Potter set will be available at Barnes & Noble so it’s still unsure which retailer(s) will get the other ones.

LEGO Bricktober 2018 Sets Revealed

August 22, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

A few months ago, I reported on some rumored LEGO Bricktober 2018 sets and it looks like we now have a first look at the sets that come from a German Toys R Us flyer. There will be four sets in the wave and they include various LEGO themes including LEGO Harry Potter (5005254), LEGO Jurassic World (5005255), LEGO Marvel Super Heroes (5005256), and LEGO Ninjago (5005257).

The LEGO Harry Potter set will include minifigures of Madam Rolanda Hooch, Professor Horace Slughorn, Dolores Umbridge, and Boggart Snape.

THe LEGO Jurassic World set will have Ian Malcolm, Claire Dearing, Owen Grady, and a small velociraptor.

The LEGO Ninjago set will have characters from the Sons of Garmadon storyline.

Finally the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes set will have War Machine, Wong, Tony Stark with the Mark 50 arc reactor, and White Wolf/Bucky.

There’s no word yet if the LEGO Bricktober 2018 sets will be available outside of Toys R Us but if you look closely at the sets, you’ll notice that there is no Toys R Us printing like with sets from previous years so it makes me think that they will be available elsewhere.
