May 7, 201312 yr 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. :-)
May 7, 201312 yr I work in a Ma and Pa shop. We had it. It was prior to my investment period I came into the investment just as HP was going EOL. And I had entered the Dark Ages just as HP was getting started haha
May 7, 201312 yr The set wasn't an exclusive far as I know or can find out. I remember seeing it pretty much everywhere at the time.
May 7, 201312 yr I bought one at a Barnes and Noble. If it was an exclusive, at least one set leaked out.
May 7, 201312 yr It was available everywhere but for some reason just exploded. I sold out of them at $150 months ago. I was even ordering them from amazon uk and amazon fr just to get more in. It has completely dried up in the retail market from what I can gather.
May 8, 201312 yr I cleaned out a bunch walmarts and sold them for $100 before Xmas. Should have held onto them a little longer.
May 8, 201312 yr Author Thanks all. That is what I wanted to hear. I think Weathertop has this sort of potential hopefully - similar short shelf life, exclusive figs (and horses), and a globally popular theme....

Everyone here seems to have great expectations for Weathertop. I've got 7 loaded and ready. I paid dirt for them, so anyway I slice it I'll make a nice chunk of change, but I so want them to do well.
