LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Castle (71043) Store Pre-Orders in Canada

LEGO Wizarding World Harry Potter Hogwarts Castle (71043)

A few days ago, I reported that LEGO Stores here in the US were taking pre-orders for the upcoming LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Castle (71043) and now it looks like LEGO Stores in Canada are also doing the same thing as well. All you have to do is put down $40 and you’re guaranteed a set when it is released next month. I’m sure there will be some logistics for them to figure out such as having a separate line for pre-orders and those who didn’t when the store opens.

This LEGO pre-ordering system in-store seems like a new endeavor to help guage how the demand will be for a particular set. I wished it was implemented during the release of the UCS Millennium Falcon (75192) but I assume this was put in place because of what happened with the Falcon and I hope they keep doing it for big future releases. The Hogwarts Castle will be available on August 15 for VIP members and on September 1 for the general public.

Thanks to Jerry for the heads up.

There are now official images of the updated LEGO Architecture Las Vegas (21047) set that have appeared on Amazon. If you remember, the set had to be redesigned due to the events of late last year at one of the hotels and in turn, the release of the set was delayed. The set will now have the Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign, Bellagio Hotel, Luxor Las Vegas, Encore at the Wynn, Startosphere Las Vegas, and the Fremont Street Experience. There’s no details on the price or release date yet at this time.

Last year’s LEGO Star Wars BB-8 (75187) is a pretty nice set and was popular with the fans and it looks like we have another larger scale character to look forward to. An Ukrainian online shop has listed a new LEGO Star Wars Porg (75230) that we can expect soon. The details of the set are still unknown at this time but we can see it does have an opening mouth as one of the play features. It also comes with the UCS-style plaque for the Porg.

LEGO Stores Taking Pre-Orders for LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Castle (71043)?

July 26, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

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.
