La pagina del nuovo set LEGO Harry Potter Diagon Alley 75978 appare fugacemente sul LEGO Shop per poi essere rimossa, non prima che sia salvata nella cache di Google.

AGGIORNAMENTO: apparsa pochi minuti fa la foto della scatola, di alto, su Instagram dove possiamo vedere tutte le minifigure presenti al suo interno.

Durante le scorse settimane erano emerse le prime foto degli adesivi, ben quattro fogli, e di alcune minifigure che avrebbero fatto parte del nuovo set LEGO Harry Potter dedicato a Diagon Alley.

 

 

Nella giornata odierna LEGO ha (forse per errore) caricato la pagina su LEGO Shop contenente i primi dettagli del set (senza foto però) e subito l’ha rimossa ma questa è stata prontamente salvata nella cache di Google e la quale ci svela che il set, codice 75978, sarà composto da ben 5544 pezzi e sarà un 16+.

Il set sarà in vendita dal 1° settembre al prezzo di 399 Eur e di seguito potete leggere la descrizione del set recuperata sempre dalla pagina salvata da Google.
