[USA] LEGO Harry Potter Found at Wal-Mart

Wow, look what I found at Wal-mart tonight (9-30-10)!!


They also had Hagrid's hut and the small freeing doby set. Sorry I didn't get pics of those.

Sweet, thanks for sharing! I am really jazzed for 'The Burrow', it looks pretty fantastic. I'm also getting somewhat interested in the new 'Hogwarts Express' set after building the 'Emerald Night' - it almost looks like a red version!

[BrickUpdate]

@vynsane: Can you share Wal-Mart's prices on these sets, or are they the same as MSRP?

@turtle1173: I've read reviews of people who were dissapointed with the Hogwarts Express train, there seem to be lots of key differences to the Emerald Night. Just passing along what I've heard, I have no first hand experience with either.

Thanks!

I didn't scan the doby or hagrid's hut sets, as I was very rushed. However, the burrow scanned at $59.99, so I'm guessing the others are MSRP also.

I've read some somewhere else, too, but as I'm not a die-hard train enthusiast, I think it'll be all right by me. I have to admit the thing that really draws me in is actually Luna Lovegood's head - it just looks perfect for a futuristic or steampunk MOC! It's kind of ridiculous that I'd want an $80 set based on one minifig head!

[BrickUpdate]

@vynsane - yes, $80 for a minifig head is a bit much! But, that is one figure I'd like to add to my HP collection too. I may just wait for a sale down the road, or get the individual fig off Bricklink or eBay. Excited about the new Diagon Alley set too.
Thanks.

My main gripe. I love Luna as a character and she has a great expression on her face but I'm getting pretty much everything HP but the train and I don't have that much money to begin with. Better start filling out my wish list.
