Well firstly, I wouldn't buy the sets. I'm more of a collector than a
builder and a set with the creator figures has no interest for me. I think
they are yucky. Yes, yucky.
Secondly, recently on lugnet we heard from some German sources that sounded
credible. The same source also mentioned the dinosaur sets that we have seen
pictures of recently.
Anyhow the report was that the Potter sets will use minifigures, but that
Hagrid will be larger somehow. I have no idea how they are going to do
that.This makes sense to me as the System piece range, typical size and
price ranges seem to mesh with the core Potter audience of 7-12 years.
Creator sets and figures are aimed at a lower age range. I am hoping that
someone will get a glimpse of the Potter sets from either the Nernberg or
New York toy fairs though. C'mon, surely someone is getting in!
just my 2 cents
