I still have them all assembled on my dining room table as I think they are very cute. My favourite is Diagnon Alley, then Hogwarts Classroom, then in last place Gryffindor Tower (as I don't like the bed so much). Note. All these sets contain two models (not alternative models) and some cardboard scenery to put behind and between them. Personally I don't like the cardboard scenery and don't use it. Kerry

(...) Agreed that they're not ordinary pieces or colours...Keep in mind I'm (a) obsessive and (b) an accountant by training.... Diagon Alley is 27c/piece, the other two 30c/piece. Compare this to the other Harry Potter sets and you'll find that it's (...) (23 years ago, 9-May-02, to lugnet.loc.au)
