LEGO Harry Potter Collectible Minifigures Series 2 (71028) Officially Revealed

LEGO has officially revealed its upcoming LEGO Harry Potter Collectible Minifigures Series 2 (71028) via its social media channels earlier today. Though this is not the first time that we saw this highly anticipated CMF series, it’s nice that LEGO has removed the embargo on these collectible minifigures allowing us a better appreciation of what to expect from them.

Attention witches, wizards, and Muggles alike! The new Harry Potter Minifigures are here!

Take a closer look at each of them as posted over on Facebook.

LEGO Harry Potter Collectible Minifigures Series 2 — Fred and George Weasley

71028 3 — Ginny Weasley and Harry Potter

71028 5 — Moaning Myrtle and Luna Lovegood

71028 7 — Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley

Missing from these images are those from the minifig versions of Lily and James Potter. They were probably left out unintentionally so I’m pretty sure that LEGO will issue an update very soon.

Needless to say, there are plenty of new and interesting pieces that are included in these series. On top of my list is that new and lovely Fawkes figure that comes with Dumbledore, the Sword of Gryffindor included with Griphook, Neville’s Book of Monsters, and those exquisite Butterbeer glasses. These LEGO pieces are very much desirable next to their minifigure counterparts if I may say so.

All in all, there are a total of 16 characters to collect, with 60 blind bags included in one entire box. It was also reported that the complete box of the LEGO Harry Potter Collectible Minifigure Series 2 (71028) may also follow a pre-determined sorting arrangement similar to its predecessor. Additionally, it looks like LEGO steered away from the idea of offering a sort of a chase minifigure in this series. I believe this is a good move from LEGO since this will allow more completionist fans to enjoy their complete collection of LEGO Harry Potter figures without resorting to those ridiculous aftermarket prices set by scalpers.

The LEGO Harry Potter Collectible Minifigures Series 2 (71028) is expected to arrive in LEGO Stores and over at LEGO Shop@Home this September, retailing for $4.99 per blind bag. And in case you missed out on the previous LEGO HP CMF Series 1 and other LEGO CMF series for that matter, I recommend that you check out what Collectible Minifigs has to offer.

Take a Look at the LEGO Harry Potter CMF Series 2 (71028) Package Insert

Earlier this month, we had a fairly good grasp of what to expect from LEGO’s next Collectible Minifigure Series. Though the LEGO Harry Potter CMF Series 2 (71028) is still slated to be released in September, it seems that some retailers are already pushing for its sale as early as now. This is what Promobricks eventually discovered as they went out of their way to track down what probably could be the very first retailer that sold this highly anticipated minifig series. Their hunt eventually led them to Romania where local supermarket chain Carrefour, had the LEGO CMF series put on sale already.

And since this is a legally acquired product, all is fair when Promobricks posted its full package insert, showing all the 16 characters in the series. Take a look at what to expect from its blind bag insert.

Looking at the above checklist, we can now have a better look at each of the characters included in the LEGO Harry Potter CMF Series 2 (71028). Beginning with:

Harry Potter with the Book of Potions
Albus Dumbledore with Fawkes the phoenix (this latest version of Fawkes is a must-have!)
Hermione Granger with a glass of butterbeer accessory (this is a new-for-2020 element)
Ron Weasley with a glass of butterbeer accessory.
Luna Lovegood with a lion topped hat accessory as first seen in the Order of Phoenix.
Griphook with the Sword of Gryffindor and a vault key. These are new LEGO elements as well.
Lily Potter with Baby Harry
James Potter with a printed tile showing a portrait of him and Lily.
Ginny Weasley in her Slug Club dress outfit, and what looks like to be a new chocolate sundae accessory. This minifigure is a reference to the Slug Club’s Christmas Party.
Fred Weasley with a cap accessory and his signature Weasley’s Wizarding Wheezes case. The case itself seems to carry two unique 1×1 printed tiles based on the leaflet.
George Weasley with a similar cap like that of Fred’s and the famous Marauder’s Map
Bellatrix Lestrange in her Azkaban prisoner’s outfit, handcuffs, and prison ID as a new printed tile.
Kingsley Shacklebolt with broom accessory. The purple color scheme for his robes is visually appealing.
Moaning Myrtle with Tom Riddle’s Diary. The diary also features a unique 1×2 printed tile.
Professor Pomona Sprout with a mandrake and flower pot
Neville Longbottom with a Book of Monsters.

I’m pretty sure that this 2nd Series of LEGO Harry Potter CMF is winning the hearts of fans already. I also appreciate the fact that there is no chase minifig in this series, unlike the first where we have LEGO throwing in just one minifig of Percival Graves/Gellert Grindelwald in each box of 60 blind bags. It is also yet to be seen if this next Series will also follow a similar, pre-determined sorting per box as we’ve discovered from the first LEGO Harry Potter CMF Series (71022).

The LEGO Harry Potter Collectible Minifigure Series 2 (71028) is scheduled to arrive in LEGO Stores and at LEGO Shop@Home on September 1st, and is expected to retail for $4.99 per blind bag.

All LEGO Harry Potter CMF Series 2 (71028) Characters Revealed

A couple of months ago, we managed to share a partial listing of what to expect from the upcoming LEGO Harry Potter CMF Series 2 (71028) where we looked at an initial roster of who’s who in this anticipated Collectible Minifigure Series. And if you’re closely following the trail of virtual bread crumbs (aka leaks) on this CMF series on social media, you probably have an idea on what to expect from this follow-up licensed series. Same as before, we’re not allowed to post its images here, but if don’t mind some spoilers then just go ahead and navigate your way through Google or Instagram.

In the meantime, read on to know what you can expect from the LEGO Harry Potter CMF Series 2 (71028). For starters, what we’re sure of is the fact that LEGO already confirmed its arrival in September, and that there’s a total of 16 Harry Potter characters to collect from this series. Here’s a brief description of each of the characters included, as they appear in the series’ minifigure checklist.

Harry Potter with Advanced Potion-Making book.
Professor Albus Dumbledore as seen from the Chamber of Secrets, together with a new (and far better) LEGO version of Fawkes the phoenix.
Hermione Granger with a butterbeer glass accessory and striped clothing.
Ron Weasley with a similar butterbeer glass accessory and striped shirt.
Luna Lovegood with a new lion hat accessory (unlike that from the lion costume from TLM2 CMF 71023).
Griphook in his Gringotts outfit, and an interesting new Sword of Gryffindor piece.
Lily Potter with a Baby Harry Potter figure in contrast to that Baby Voldemort figure that came with the LEGO Harry Potter The Rise of Voldemort (75965) set from last year.
James Potter holding what seems to be a 2×4 printed tile depicting the couple’s photo.
Ginny Weasley on her Slug Club dress outfit during the club’s Christmas Party. This minifigure version also has a sort of wine glass accessory.
Fred Weasley with a cap accessory and what looks to be his signature Weasley’s Wizarding Wheezes case. It will surely be nice if the case comes out as a printed piece.
George Weasley with a similar cap accessory and the iconic Marauder’s Map.
Bellatrix Lestrange in her Azkaban outfit, handcuffs, and prison ID.
Kingsley Shacklebolt with broom accessory. The cap and the robe is a nice touch for this minifigure.
Moaning Myrtle with Tom Riddle’s diary.
Professor Pomona Sprout with a mandrake figure.
Neville Longbottom in school robes (unlike that from 71022) with a Book of Monsters figure.

What we can also confirm is that the LEGO Harry Potter CMF Series 2 (71028) will also come with the same angled bar with stud pieces that were first introduced in the LEGO DC Super Heroes CMF (71026). As you may know already, this particular piece allows for some dynamic posing of the minifigures when they are placed on their respective stands.

Since the LEGO Harry Potter CMF Series 2 is slated to be released next month, then we can expect some news from LEGO anytime soon. Similar to previous offerings, we can expect each blind bag to be retailed at $4.99 each. We’ll give you more updates such as box distribution and other details once they are available.

Thanks to Stonewars for the heads up.

LEGO Harry Potter Collectible Minifigures Series 2 (71028) Coming in September

Since its launch back in August 2018, the LEGO Harry Potter CMF (71022) has proved itself popular among LEGO HP fans, with most sharing the same sentiment that a follow-up series is long overdue. There have been rumors circulating online that another CMF series dedicated to the magical theme is now in the works. And this time it seems that LEGO has finally confirmed its arrival. From the looks of it, we can now expect the LEGO Harry Potter Collectible Minifigures Series 2 (71028) starting September.

The news of the upcoming LEGO HP CMF Series 2 has been hinted upon by LEGO itself through its recently released digital catalogs. What is interesting is that though virtually all regional versions of the catalogs mention a new CMF series in September, the Australian version of the LEGO catalog points it out to be 71028.

Though it may be pointed out that the catalog listing does not in any way mention 71028 to be a Harry Potter-themed CMF, leaks as early as last month show it to be otherwise. I’m not in the liberty of showing these images here, but a cursory search over at Instagram for example will show you the way – that is if you don’t bother looking at spoilers. What we can determine from this reveal by LEGO is the fact that the LEGO Harry Potter Collectible Minifigure Series 2 (71028) is the next CMF to be released this year and we can expect it to be in stores by September.

In case you missed it, here’s what you can expect from this upcoming CMF. Take note that there are a total of 16 minifigs to collect in this series, and the following are just some of the characters that we know so far:

Professor Pomona Sprout with mandrake
Luna Lovegood with new lion hat accessory (unlike that from the lion costume from TLM2 CMF 71023)
Professor Albus Dumbledore as seen from the Chamber of Secrets, together with our ~~first~~ most recent LEGO version of Fawkes
Kingsley Shacklebolt with broom accessory
Neville Longbottom in school robes (unlike that from 71022) with a Book of Monsters figure
Bellatrix Lestrange in her Azkaban outfit, and newspaper accessory
Harry Potter with Advanced Potion-Making book
Moaning Myrtle
Griphook in his Gringotts outfit

So what do you think of the new LEGO Harry Potter Collectible Minifigures Series 2 (71028)? Let me know in the comments below. Special thanks to the Brickfinder for the heads up.

Check Out the LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 20 (71027) Box Distribution

LEGO has officially announced the character names of its latest LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 20 (71027), via its social media channels. If you recall, LEGO gave us a glimpse of what to expect from Series 20 during this year’s New York Toy Fair, while third-party retailers gave us a closer look at what to expect from this latest CMF line. Check out LEGO’s announcement via its Facebook page.

Additionally, reviews about the LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 20 are starting to pour in showing us what to expect from each box, and how many of each minifig character can we expect from it. If you want to have an in-depth look at what this latest series has to offer, then you may want to refer to The Brothers Brick’s review.

Overall, there are 16 characters to collect for Series 20 with a total of 60 blind bags in a box with 3 to 5 copies of each character. Here’s a quick rundown of how this 10th-year commemorative CMF series is distributed.

Knight – 5x

Super Warrior – 5x

Rescue Diver – 5x

Peapod Costume Girl – 4x

Green Brick Suit Guy – 4x

Space Fan – 4x

Drone Guy – 4x

Nunchuck Guy – 4x

Pirate – 4x

Llama Costume Girl – 3x

Piñata Kid – 3x

Keytar Player – 3x

Breakdancer – 3x

Viking – 3x

Pajama Kid – 3x

Athlete – 3x

As noted by TBB, the box distribution for LEGO CMF Series 20 (71027) is similar to what LEGO did with the LEGO Collectible Minifigures DC Superheroes (71026). So eventually, we can get three complete sets of Series 20 minifigures in a box of 60 blind bags, with several minifigs to spare or resell.

It also turns out that we can expect this series to arrive earlier than what I previously reported. The LEGO CMF Series 20 is slated to arrive on April 19, 2020, though it is still be seen whether LEGO brand stores will already be open by then considering The LEGO Group’s most recent announcement regarding its store closures due to COVID-19. Whatever is the case, we can still hopefully rely on LEGO Shop@Home for our purchases.

LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 20 (71027) Official Images Released

After making their debut during last month’s New York Toy Fair, several official images of the LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 20 (71027) have now been shared online by authorized LEGO retailer, The Minifigure Store. LEGO is yet to officially list them via their online store, with these latest minifig collectibles slated to be released sometime in May.

From the looks of it, this latest CMF series will be introducing a bunch of new LEGO elements and pieces, including new costume pieces that most LEGO fans are looking forward to. Like those before it, most of the characters in this series will also feature two different minifigure head prints or expressions. There is no overarching theme for Series 20 though there is one character in particular that pays tribute to the Collectible Minifigures Series‘ 10th year anniversary. The Green Brick Guy comes with a special 10th year commemorative tile which may prove to be popular among collectors.

The LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 20 (71027) is expected to retail for $4.99 per blind bag once they are released both in-store and online over at LEGO Shop@Home.
