(+) Yeah! (+)

Four buildable books which each turn into a Hogwarts classroom when opened.

Isn't it just Polly Pockets? Remember Polly Pockets? Are there still Polly Pockets?

I actually had some of those, but I also had Mighty Max, Micro Machines, and the little TMNT toys too. I guess I just liked miniatures.

Are these commercially available? I might buy one for my girlfriend for Christmas.

Yeah. They had those ones that were like the power ranger belt buckles or something too. They weren't all marketed to girls. They actually were cool. They weren't just a doll that did nothing but move it's arms. I mean, I could still pretend the barbies were choking and assaulting each other, so they weren't totally dumb. Ah, male influence.

I loved Mighty Max!!

Yeah, they are slated for release in early 2021. Sometimes sets drop just before Christmas though.

I guess shes into Harry Potter? :D

I'm not even much of a Harry Potter fan, but I want these.
I did buy the set with the translucent deer, for much the same reasons.

Now I wonder if the book cover is a sticker or not

Probably not, as Lego generally doesn't place later parts on top of stickers.
The insides look like they have a whole bunch, but may also be painted-on.

those are pretty cool. too bad they're HP

Getting a pop-out Quantum Electrodynamics book seems incredibly unlikely.
A little Lego Richard Feynman would be pretty damn sweet, though.

oh, and while i'm in a CE Lego topic that's also a little relevant to the sets in question:

has anyone else had a bunch of clips fail recently? I had my Mixels collection boxed up for a while, and was unfortunately looking into selling it. but when i went to take pictures, a lot of the clips and joints were loose to the point that they weren't functional.

they were stored in my bedroom, so i don't think heat was a factor. and while it's possible some of them had some pressure that could have caused them to loosen, it was a good 30-40% that were failing. i can't imagine that many would go at once without something else going on.

i tried to bend one back with my fingers and it snapped well before any reshaping happened.

I've got a Heroica set with transparent blue axe heads (incidentally, the only set with transparent blue axe heads), and they're going to rot eventually.

Who is the witch on the far left in the first picture and far right in the last picture? Everyone else I recognize but that one draws a blank.

Um... the cat one?

Cho?

I think you're right. The hair seemed familiar but I couldn't place it.

each set is 200?

Wait, what?

Screw that, I'm buying Ecto-1 instead.

Too bad buying one means you hate trans people.

Kelystic posted...

based on license and piece count, they should be $30-$40.

edit: yeah, they're already on Lego's site. $30 each.

unless you meant pieces. they are ~250 pieces.

Yup. I'll have to see though. She takes issue with Rowling's statements about trans people.

I have not experienced this myself but that is terrible. Contact Lego?

Very understandable.

Lego has distanced themselves from her comments however if that helps some.

This make some think about an old Micro Machines set i had

Iirc it was an M1 Abrams, maybe 18 or 20 inches long, that unfolded into an environment with hills and encampments and roads and shit built in

Man I miss those toys

Ha, my mom actually still has that one up in her attic... saw it up there last year.

I always preferred the submarine one I had though, folded out into an airbase with nukes.
