Harry Potter discontinued?

[Damnation666]

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.

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?

The two you just mentioned and Diagon Alley are the ones I would buy. Hogwarts Express is already appreciating well.

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...

The Burrow(4840) is another excellent choice. Almost 600 pieces and 6 minifigures is a good investment set.

For those in the UK, there are a few left of The Burrow 4840 - and it's reduced:

Speaking 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?

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.

And camelcamelcamel is excellent for tracking price of items and setting up alerts when the price drops below your threashold.

Here's my list:

Argos

Amazon UK

Asda

Boots

Tesco

Play

Hamleys

John Lewis

Mothercare

Sainsburys

Smyths

I have to take a ride to my local WalMart tomorrow. Thanks

[timinchicago]

So besides Diagon Alley is there anything currently available worth getting?

[schmidtywerben]

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.

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.

[jHope711]

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.

The end of line is near.
