jaisonline Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 Ha. Thanks Stephen. Just pretty much wondered why this set is expensive. Was it a very limited release in 2004? I can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen_rockefeller Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 There are a few reasons that I know of but there could be more. One is that its because trains are always hot commodities in the secondary market. Another is because its motorized. These days( mostly) the only way to motorize a Lego train is to buy the LEGO power functions seperately. Some were never intended to be motorized (ghost train) and have to be heavily modified. Lastly is because its Harry Potter. All HP are hot because the theme is EOL. Do I thinks its cool set? Yes. Do I think its over a grand cool? Not so much. I only saw 2 on ebay last time I ckecked. Are you thinking of buying one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaisonline Posted March 10, 2013 Author Share Posted March 10, 2013 Are you thinking of buying one? I did end up buying one from a friend's friend. It is sealed in a very nice box. Not sure if I will keep it closed. Think it will appreciate further over the next 1-2 years? I think the peak has been reached other than a slight bumps before Xmas. I saw two sold on eBay recently between $400-$500. The $400 one had 'minor' box issues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaisonline Posted April 2, 2013 Author Share Posted April 2, 2013 I also picked up a mostly complete open 10132 set. Looks like this will be our "holiday " train around the tree this year. Yippie Question. The 9v tracks are missing including the track with the power box (plugs into the wall). Don't know the name of this part off the top of my head. Since I have the Power Functions parts (except track), would you suggest running this with PF or 9V? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerrmando Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 I'd leave it 9V, I've always liked 9V more than PF in my house.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaisonline Posted April 6, 2013 Author Share Posted April 6, 2013 I'd leave it 9V, I've always liked 9V more than PF in my house.. Wondering why? Way do you like about 9v better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerrmando Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Probably just because it was the first train sets I ever had. My dad started me off with the old blue 9V train set way back and I own every 9V made since then, haven't bothered with buying most of the PF ones, just a few.
