Hi James,
I found things in England to be a lot more expensive than in Continental
Europe (Portugal, Spain, France, Germany,...). I think it has something to
do with the pound (GBP) being overrated, and frequently becoming even more
valuable.
This is a big disgrace for me as a LEGO buyer, but for the whole country it
end up being quite good (more tourists! :-)
Still, $35 (or £25) for Hagrid's Hut... it is more expensive than here, a
bit more. €35 would convert to about $31.5, for reference.
Would you say that the parts in the set are worth that much? I intend to
wreck the Hut apart and use parts too build housing for my Town/Train
Layout. Shoud I invest in this, or Bulk parts instead?
