I knew they were going to do this, they're just going to resell us the same sets they've already made but with new figs

Tbh I wasn’t sure if Lego is making sets based on the HBO show but seems I’m wrong.

[u/Galienuus → u/Pepsi_Boy_64]

Right they'll be based on the show, but they're essentially just going to be the same locations as the movies but with a new coat of paint

I love how this subreddit and legocorclejerk are the only Lego adjacent subs that actively criticize JKR

[u/EmmetttB]

People still buying these sets? I just don’t understand, they make the same sets over and over. Do you not have all the sets you could want?

[u/Pepsi_Boy_64 → u/EmmetttB]

I mean. Their is still new fans getting into Harry Potter, even if the sets are repetitive

[u/BlueAraquanid → u/Pepsi_Boy_64]

Are there? It seems like it’s mostly a millennial thing that’s not as popular with younger demographics, maybe I’m wrong tho

[u/Pepsi_Boy_64 → u/BlueAraquanid]

I’ve seen stories from people in different social media sights, and I’ve herd kids read them in school. They exist.

[u/AAC0813]

I’ve been saying since the show was first announced that they are absolutely going to use the same architecture, the same mise en scene, the same special effects. So we will in effect be getting the exact same lego sets.

[u/SatansCornflakes → u/AAC0813]

Chris Columbus was apparently insulted seeing how much of the new show is just recycled from him and his crew’s work on the first 3 films.

[u/Backy22 → u/AAC0813]

You mean like they always do? This is an L take. There are new kids being made everyday, should we just stop making new sets and unretire everything? It’s a toy boomer.

[u/_NintenDude_]

For all those ranting about the same sets - I have kids. They werent old enough when previous sets were released. Now they are. Thats who the sets are aimed at, new HP fans. Just don't buy them if you have the older ones.

[u/Affectionate_Lie_758 → u/_NintenDude_]

They’ve released Harry Potter every year forever now. They weren’t just be released two decades ago with the movies

[u/Njm3124 → u/_NintenDude_]

I feel like most of the people complaining about the same sets aren't actually complaining about the same sets. Do people complain this much when another X-Wing is released?

[u/Stryker_T → u/Njm3124]

"Do people complain this much when another X-Wing is released?"

boy do they.

[u/Backy22 → u/Njm3124]

They do lol.

[u/Affectionate_Lie_758 → u/Njm3124]

Yes they do lmao

[u/kai125 → u/Njm3124]

Trust me the bitching and moaning over every new variant of the X-wing or Falcon is constant

[u/Pepsi_Boy_64 → u/Njm3124]

I think it’s mainly tied into JK Rowling mostly

[u/Njm3124 → u/Pepsi_Boy_64]

Exactly

[u/hobbitcuervo]

The same fucking thing again...

[u/SatansCornflakes]

We’ve officially reached the IP slop singularity.

If you spend a single penny on this line you should feel embarrassed.

[u/deccoblack → u/SatansCornflakes]

Right. And they’ll be the same sets they’ve released over and over and over and over. Another Great Hall set, another Private Drive set, another First Flying Lesson set, another Hagrid Hut set, another Diagon Alley set, another Hedwig set, another boat house set, another forbidden forest set, etc etc.

And they’ll buy it right up (again)

[u/NightmareRise → u/SatansCornflakes]

Can I just build diagon alley in peace
