| The HP sets are GREAT for parts, even though they're a tad expensive. I'm really only peeved by the cardboard diorama pieces in the smaller sets that I know I'm going to be throwing away. I borrowed the books and read them and they were enjoyable, (...) (23 years ago, 16-Nov-01, to lugnet.harrypotter)
