AJuff Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Following our Easter visit to the Warner Brother Studios my youngest DD has asked for Harry Potter Lego for her upcoming birthday. I didn't realise that Lego had stopped making it last year and it's now only available through secondary sources. I am utterly horrified by the mark up in price on Amazon and on eBay. The castle £200, The Burrow £90-180, The Knights Bus £70. I have had to say NO to her and we have had tears. I sent an email to Lego but they can't help as they are not making it. I am quite astonished that as Harry Potter is so popular that they have stopped producing it. I'm surprised they they didn't sell Lego at the WB studio as they have a captive audience.

AJuff Posted April 17, 2013 Author Share Posted April 17, 2013 Yes, eBay prices are extortionate! Not to mention the postage costs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redhotchick Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I'm amazed that Lego don't make it anymore too. Bad news. Has she asked for anything else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowberry Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 This may sound harsh, but sometimes it is good for children to hear the word 'no' (this is nothing to do with spoilt children!) but that it is part of life, & if it is something out of your control, then it's easier fo them to understand the ways of the world Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
