Harry Potter

I'm pretty new to the Lego investing game. I've purchased a few big and medium size sets for long term hold, and trying to earn more investing money by being active on craigslist to flip some sets. Today I bought a complete set 4842 Hogwart's Castle for $100. It has all the parts, the manuals, but no box. I'm pretty sure I can flip it within a week for $250. So, two questions. 1) Is a quick flip for $150 profit the best answer on this set? Is it a sell now, sell at Christmas, or hold longer? 2) Or is there a better place to put the $150 profit right now? Where? The sets on my long-term hold wish list are Pet Shop, Palace Cinema, T1 Camper Van, and maybe Tower Bridg…

I found a retailer with a number of Harry Potter Knight Buses for 34.99, but when I went home to check the price online it was 24.99 with the option for instore pickup. I just recently joined this site so I have not point of reference for the valuable HP sets. I have been focusing on star wars and LOTR, but the HP sets caught my eye because they seemed out of place. Is this a good price for these sets? I checked ebay and they seem to be hit or miss, but all sold items are above the price I would pay.

J.K. Rowling has given fans a glimpse of the grown-up boy wizard in a new story posted Tuesday on her Pottermore website. It's the first update since "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" was published in 2007, but Rowling spokesman Mark Hutchinson said there are "no plans" for a new Potter novel. T…

I am wondering if this Christmas is about time to cash out for these two sets or would you wait longer??

Just want a bit of advise........this set seems to have stopped growing?? Should i sell mine now or does anyone see more growth??

Anyone have a guess what those pegs are supposed to connect to?"

I bought the 7939 Cargo Train (Yellow) and 4867 Hogwarts on a "buy 1 get 1 40% off" deal. I'm looking to sell Hogwarts on Ebay in November. Did I make a good investment or should I take it back?

Guys, need your wisdom on this one.... I bought 2 4842 off a 3rd party Amazon reseller. Price is "ok", around $126 with shipping As I ship to California, sales tax is inevitable unless buy from 3rd party.... At current price, either from Amazon direct, or sites like Walmart or Target, lowest price include shipping & tax will come up roughly $136 each... So unless we can foresee another wave of future sales on these 4842 before they are gone, otherwise I am looking at either accepting these imperfections on the box, or give up the $10 savings each.... So basically 2 questions... 1. Likelihood of another wave of sales from major retailers on 4842, …

I got lots of Harry Potter sets in my inventory, is it the time to sell? need your opinion thanks!

Finally completed my Harry Potter minifigure displays - really pleased with how they turned out,, Sent from my iPad using Brickpicker

Saw this while on Facebook today: "RUMOR: The 'Harry Potter' films will be re-released in theaters in 2017. For all of the information related to this rumor, head on over to MuggleNet by clicking the link below. http://www.mugglenet.com/app/news/show/6706" Hopefully it is true and can increase the value of the sets. I can see it happening as they have released Jurassic Park in 3D today.

Coming September 2023 2660 pieces $170 1 Golden Minifigure https://www.lego.com/en-us/kids/sets/harry-potter/hogwarts-castle-and-grounds-1dc55b90a822f123de2c6090a73bf6e9

Hi all, A question for those who have build Diagon Alley. Are the 3 buildings completely separate as packed? Meaning if you build Olivander's wand shop first, should you have any leftover pieces for the next two buildings? I am curious as I bought a semi-used one off of Craigslist the other day - Olivander's was built, and is 100% complete, but the other two buildings were never opened from their bags or constructed. Trying to decide if I want to sell some of them solo - like just sell Gringotts by itself, etc. Any help appreciated.

I am hesitant regarding a purchase, should I get the Hogwarts Castle or the Diagon Alley? Both are mearly, if not already EOLd. WWEOJD?

I haven't seen a set of Harry Potter except for the bus since Black Friday. (So mad I bought a new Wii U instead of spending it all on HP LEGO sets.) What are the chances that they are done with this set all together? Please tell me I will see this in stores again... I REALLY want to be able to buy these at a good price.

what about this set? rare minifigs but I don't understand if is good for investing at 180

I am trying to sell this Harry Potter Lego model that I won from Toys R Us over 10 years ago, but I cannot find anything like it on the internet. Would anyone know what something like this would go for? It is 12" high and the box itself is 18". Thanks for any input!

Hi I need help i had 2 of these on order from amazon last week

http://edition.cnn.com/2016/02/10/entertainment/harry-potter-part-8-publish-summer-feat/index.html The new Harry Potter book (a sequel), is to be released this summer. Potentially good news for the HP sets.

Found about half of a Hogwarts 4842 in a used lot, the dining hall and the other big entrance building... do I bother attempting to find the other bags for this set to build the other 2 towers? Starting to look through BL, but this seems like a giant headache and I'm guessing it's going to cost me just as much to gather it is as it will bring it if I sell it. I wouldn't mind even displaying it, but I can't find a decent process that isn't almost worth just paying the used eBay prices for a complete one.

Where is the best place to sell Harry Potter legos? I looked at eBay and most of the sets are not selling which makes me hesitant to post them there. It looks like Amazon is only selling new sets and not used sets, although I do not know if that is accurate or not, and there is nothing listed on Craigslist. Any ideas?

403 pieces and to be released in June. Any guesses on price? Ugly thing will probably be like $49.99.

This set has completely taken off of course since going EOL. Way more than other HP sets. From what I can gather, seems to be related to the 1 year on the shelf lifespan, and the inclusion of one-of-a-kind minifigs (Arthur, Molly, Bellatrix). One thing I haven't been able to tell looking at past threads - was this set exclusive to any retailer? Or was it available everywhere? Was in a dark age at the time outside of Star Wars sets, so I can't recall. And of course speculation on which set could be the next Burrow is welcomed as well. :-)
