plasticbrix Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 As with the Pirates of the Caribbean, just wondering if they are stopping production of the Harry potter theme?I think they are stopping production. No new sets this year. Maybe now is the time to buy that Hogwarts Castle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
British Builder Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I think they are stopping production. No new sets this year.

LegoPodcaster Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Which set do people think will do best for investment. I have bought all of them except the train set and the big Hogwarts Castle. Should I invest in these also right now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think Diagon Alley and Hogwarts Express will do pretty well. In addition to these 2 sets, The Burrow might be good for investment...too bad I missed the chance to buy it...

Almost 600 pieces and 6 minifigures is a good investment set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johncrumpton Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 And Diagon Alley 10217 is still available at LEGO uk: http://shop.lego.com/en-GB/Diagon-Alley-10217 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Mack Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 And Diagon Alley 10217 is still available at LEGO uk: http://shop.lego.com/en-GB/Diagon-Alley-10217Speaking for our British members, thank you. Diagon Alley is an excellent investment choice. As an American, I'm curious as to what the most popular stores in the UK are that sell LEGO bricks/sets. I get lost when I read posts from British citizens. In the US, of course there is Toys R Us and LEGO stores, but there is Walmart and Target as two other main sellers of LEGO sets. What are the main UK stores? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johncrumpton Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Very good question and one I would appreciate fellow brits comments on this. I'm new to buying lego and have been buying online for the best price - mostly Amazon or the lego shop (for the big items). However I have shopped in John Lewis and the Lego shop in Stratford and found discontinued lines (which were shown as sold out on their website). You see smaller sets in the Supermarkets (Tesco, Sainsburys & Asda) and the main toy shops Argos and Toys R Us (although the latter tends to be out of town). I use the Invisable Hand plugin for Chrome which checks a product I'm viewing and tells me if this is the best price. http://www.getinvisiblehand.com/ And camelcamelcamel is excellent for tracking price of items and setting up alerts when the price drops below your threashold. http://uk.camelcamelcamel.com/ Here's my list: Argos Amazon UK Asda Boots Tesco Play Hamleys John Lewis Mothercare Sainsburys Smyths Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timinchicago Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 So besides Diagon Alley is there anything currently available worth getting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmidtywerben Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 I got a lot of my POTC and HP sets from WalMart at discounted prices as well. I grabbed as many of the big sets as I could, needless to say, those sets did not last long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TedZeppelin Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 The medium sized $10-20 Harry Potter sets have skyrocketed in value. They're ridiculous. I'd say that Harry Potter is a great investment, especially if you've been seeing it on clearance. It is a surefire profit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jHope711 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Stores in my area are starting to not carry the larger, newer, Harry Potter Sets. You can barely find the smaller $19.99 sets anymore either. I'd would suggest that if you can find a larger set ($34.99+), buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
