Yesterday's model was a bit of a (positive) surprise. Maybe this calendar is not all micro-scale after all (with the occasional minifigure). Would today's model support this view? Read on to see what we got...
We have made it all the way to the two-digit numbers of the Advent Calendar. It should be predictable by now - or at least I thought I had it all figured out, but yet I was surprised today. Read to to see why...
A LEGO set is typically a trade-off between price and size. Creating an accurate model of Beauxbatons' carriage, with its huge size and a dozen winged horses pulling it, would have been an expensive set. Given the limited screen time it had in the movies, it is understandable that the 2019 Beauxbatons' carriage set was somewhat moderate in size (though still not at all cheap). For a while, I have worked on creating a bigger version and finally, it is ready to to be shown...

With no new Harry Potter sets revealed at the New York Toy Fair earlier this month, rumours of future sets are still thick. The previous list of five sets still seems both plausible and logical, and the potential Advent calendar could be totally awesome. Emerging photos of potential leaks of torso prints from the Yule … Continue reading Will Christmas bring some Yule ball magic – or return of the graveyard?
