Odd choices. Would have strongly preferred a single Harry and Draco set instead of throwing in Cho Chang and Cedric. Also, the fact that we are getting Cho and Cedric in their rather uniconic quidditch appearances before we get Harry Potter characters like Neville, Sirius, Lockhart, and more as brickheadz is strange.

The parts on Cho's face are all new colours right?

I like these - especially the way Harry’s feet aren’t actually connected to their baseplate!

Qt first glance, that Kingsley Shacklebolt is excellent. Cho looks pretty good too. Then you take away the printed plates and they look pretty anonymous. Conversely, Harry still recognisable without robe print.

At first, I was a little surprised that they'd done a Harry and Cho two-pack, then I saw the next pack and realized they were splitting the four houses between two packs. Speaking of which, @elbigdaddy101: The reason they didn't do a Harry and Draco two-pack is so they could do do two packs that both had major characters.

I’m glad that the inevitable argument is just about the plural form of “LEGO” as opposed to a flame war about the names “Cho Chang” and “Kingsley Shacklebolt” (if not just Harry Potter as a whole) that’ll inevitably get the comments section shut down prematurely and a deletion of the entire argument.
But no, I’m not buying these.

Why? It's nitpicking. That is one of the best examples of nitpicking available. A small fussy detail that is perfect for being nitpicked."

I have never heard that the plural form "Legos" is wrong. If I were telling a child to pick up the toys, I would say "pick up your Legos" not "pick up your Lego"."
Funnily enough I had never heard the term "Legos" my entire life until I came to Brickset.
Over here everyone I have ever known who had Lego always referred to it in singular form. Just like with Playmobil.
Like parents telling kids "Clean up your room, put away your Lego/Playmobil..."
They might have added "stuff" to the brand name in such a context, but I have never heard anyone say "Legos" back then, or nowadays for that matter.

You're definitely not a Lego fan with the usage of the word "Legos"."

Gatekeep much?

Hey look, more shelf warmers!

Brickheadz have outlived their lifespan.

That occurred with the Spice Girls set.

Overall, I like the Quidditch uniform option. Rip off the head and you can build your own to place on top of the body.

I'm convinced the only reason they made the spice girls set is cause they needed something licensed with universal music, cause vidiyo failed. Brickheadz are effortless to mass produce, and therefore exceedingly cheap to produce compared to pretty much anything else.

I don't know if it's the only reason _why_, but it's definitely the _how_. The same marketing and licensing division of Universal worked on both the Vidiyo line and the Spice Girls product line, of which the Lego set is just one piece.

Lol I love reading the Lego vs Legos debate comments. I always say Lego, but seriously WHO CARES if someone says Legos. Yeah, it’s like fingernails on a chalkboard, but you come off as a Percy or Hermione for correcting someone.

Lego do. They have an image to keep after all.

As compared to what? Inappropriately pluralizing “LEGO” as “LEGO” isn’t any better than inappropriately pluralizing it as “LEGOs”.

@DoonsterBuildsLego:
I regret that I have but one Like to give. Seriously, I don’t care if someone wants to pluralize “LEGO” as “snurfles”, but the instant anyone deigns to tell someone else how to properly pluralize it, they damn well better get it right themselves, and not sit there arguing about whether the front door on their house should properly hinge upwards or downwards. It’s shockingly rare to find anyone on this site who knows that it’s officially an adjective, much less how to locate the page that explains it.

But yeah, which flavor of wrong someone grew up with does seem to be cleanly split by the Atlantic. Anyone I’ve personally met that uses “LEGO/LEGO” has typically flown in from Europe or parts eastward to attend Brickworld.

@Miyakan:
Oh, they hear it all the time here. But the people who tell them almost invariable get it wrong themselves. It’s an adjective. There is no proper plural form to the word. And it’s supposed to be written in all-caps. You know, since we’re discussing the proper form, here.

@Yorick:
What I’d heard was that there was _one_ Spice Girls superfan working in Billund who managed to convince/wear them down to the idea that it would sell like hotcakes, and they greenlit the idea based on a false impression of their current level of popularity. Currently their fanbase is confirmed to include at least one person, or the set wouldn’t exist.
