Brick Bucks: Unique minifigures not found in other Harry Potter sets contribute to set's collectibility and value driver.

Exclusivity

Brickset Reviews: LEGO-exclusive Harry Potter set

Brick Bucks: Wide retail (was a regular LEGO set before retirement); now in aftermarket resale through Amazon FBA.

Resale

Brick Bucks: Strong aftermarket growth: purchased post-retirement at $32, sold 18 months later at $80; current market value ~$85. The reviewer achieved 86% ROI and was still able to capture further potential gains had they held longer.
