For a new collector, are retired used sets worth it?
Hello,
My wife and I recently started building a small LEGO Harry Potter collection together, and we absolutely love building the sets as a couple.
Our collection is still growing, but we’re missing some of the retired sets. We now have the opportunity to buy Diagon Alley either:
- used for €300 (complete, good condition, including box and instructions)
or
- sealed for €500.
We would definitely build and display the set ourselves.
For people who bought used LEGO before:
If we completely take the set apart and rebuild it from scratch, does it still give a similar feeling to opening a brand new set?
And in your opinion:
Is the sealed experience really worth an extra €200?
Would love to hear your thoughts!
