Hi guys, TRU in Switzerland have a 20% off all Lego sets. I'd be able to buy the 2 above sets for 20% off retail yet I was wondering, are they good investments? I've done some research on 7879 and it seems like it's a bit of crappy set yet it has some cool minifigs in it which is always a good thing for value. I think we've already seen some unsuccessful sets become quite nice investments in the past. Also I know the Monster Fighter theme is pretty popular so I was thinking of getting the Castle at least. What do you think about these sets?

I think the castle is a lock, problem is nobody knows how much longer it will be around. A few now is better than none later.

Yeah i think i'll pass on the hoth echo base and get 2 castles...when they show as available on their website ahain..grrr!

Sounds like a plan...although the Hoth Base at the right price can be a solid choice.
