Ematics Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 I am new to the scene, so I missed any chance of grabbing 10217 discounted in the past. I've been watching Amazon lately to see if they'll budge past their current 1% offer. I am starting to think that I should just place my order now rather than miss out. It's the only set on LEGO Shop at Home HP that isn't on sale: http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Harry-Potter-ByTheme Buy from Amazon I am hesitating. Any thoughts?

BuckeyeFanDan Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Since it's listed as retiring soon, grab it while it's still available. It will likely not be around much longer. Better to pay retail than secondary market prices! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen_rockefeller Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Yes pick it up NOW!!! It will be gone any day now!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doofy McGee Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 BuckeyeFanDan pretty much summed it up. This set is officially labeled "Retiring Soon" on LEGO's website. "Soon" is a vague word, but I would still take that to heart. If you want it bad enough, get it soon. It is a great set, lots of cool minifigs, cool buildings, etc. All the Harry Potter stuff is appreciating nicely, and Diagon Alley will be no different. If you don't strike now, you will be looking at $200-$250 in a matter of months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ematics Posted December 26, 2012 Author Share Posted December 26, 2012 I ordered 2. I could buy a few more... I figured maybe it would be better to go with 3 Medieval Market Village rather than 2 DAs (4 total). I want to watch Grand Emporium for the next few weeks/months and maybe Pet Shop will show some signs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Mack Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Again, even though I posted the links above. If you are new to this site or on the fence about buying any LEGO sets, this is a good one to get and would recommend buying one now. Get from Amazon!!

Rich B Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 It's back to 'call to check availability' on U.S. S&**** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nakapfao Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 If I had the money, I would unquestionably buy this one. I'm not the most experienced with actually investing in LEGOs, but I've been buying them on ebay and otherwise for a while. There's almost no way that this one doesn't double in value, especially if you keep it sealed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to wait too much longer though, i don't know if it will be around next month... I would hurry up. Amazon will probably be out of them in the next week or so at the $239.99 price. Then the price will only go up. TRU (Toys R Us) has it for retail at $259.99, but I can't imagine that lasting much longer either. Guess we will see.
