Harry Potter Illustrated edition boxset reduced to $33 at Kmart. Marked down from $79. All of the individual books are still selling at $30+. The Kmart I was in still had 2 left on the shelf so i assume there is stock to be found in other stores however it's not listed on kmarts website. $11 a book is a steal!
how long would that take?
At the rate they’re going, I think we’d be lucky to see the end of the series before 2030. I assume the next three books will take a minimum of two years each, like with the Goblet of Fire
Yep first 3 took 1 year each the goblet took 2 years
You cant rush art ;)
@BenTheBargainer2013: If to predict the production duration by proportioning with how thick (number of pages) each book is…
The Philosopher’s Stone 223 pages - ~1 year
The Chamber of Secrets 251 pages - ~1 year
The Prisoner of Azkaban 317 pages - ~1 year
The Goblet of Fire 636 pages - ~2 years
The Order of the Phoenix 766 pages - maybe 2-2.3 years?
The Half-Blood Prince 607 pages - maybe 2 years?
The Deathly Hallows 607 pages - maybe 2 yeasr?
Definitely a good option for a Xmas present for a young one. Cheers OP - will keep an eye out!
Is this across all Kmart stores?
Can't say for sure it's not showing on their website. Hopefully someone else can confirm.
They take clearance lines off their web site these days. Not sure why - perhaps so it can't be classed as a published deal and thus eligible for price matching elsewhere.
I think Target and Big W do the same now.
I've got all three books. Great quality. Amazing price.
Wow, this is truly a bargain! I paid more than $33 for one of them!
Damn what a steal!
Ah, reminiscing the $12 deal from Booktopia three years ago.

I bought that, now a question of whether I buy these too. Still cheap at $16 a book and I can give away my extra copy of the first.
what!?… i don't get this. AKA - "I already have this, but I will snatch another one anyway because it is cheap as, and get rid of my other ones" !! ??
…unless you have a specific person in mind who really wants to be gifted a second-hand copy, or you have ruined your old copies, this seems wasteful. The true bargain would be to use what you have.
If its a gift, I generally think it should be new - if not a gift, you could just send them the link to buy themselves, otherwise, perhaps just leave the stock for others who want to own a copy of the dwindling stock?
… but, suit yourself if you can get stock
I've broken it down so you can understand:
op only has book 1
op wants to buy books 1-3 for a price cheaper than an individual book
op will have 2 copies of book 1
op considers giving away an extra copy of book 1, maybe they'll even give it to you!
One of the few price errors that I managed to nab!
Not remaindered I hope…
None left in kmart Warriewood =(
Is it possible to check online? I cant find it
Edit nevermind will check tomoz
Nope, had to go into store. A staff member was able to look up the product code on the receipt that was uploaded, which confirmed it wasn't available.
so cheap!!!!!
They have a Silly Solly's at that shopping centre. They had the Lord of the Rings books and others for $2 a while back + whole store is <$5….
No stock at Kmart Belconnen ACT. The computer shows no stock at any other stores as well.
That's a good price if you wish to own the books. But it's worth mentioning these are available at libraries for $free.
Yep, that's how books work.
which store, Logan Central?
Yep
Still some in stock at my local Kmart in Launceston Tasmania.
4 copies left at Kmart Bateau Bay (NSW Central Coast)… scanning at $23.
Checked Erina store first, none there.
Thanks so much OP. My daughter will be so stoked to open this at Christmas :)
The lady who looked up the system for Melbourne said there were 4 in Templestowe.
I was told last night there were none left in Victoria! Good luck if anyone can find them :)
I had no luck price matching at Big W - they insisted upon seeing a price on the website.
And Target said they only price match toys, not books.
The box set has gone from both Target and Big W websites, alas they are still scanning at $99 in store :(
The fourth book is coming out in October.
Cheap considering each book is $59.95 RRP but if you're a completist like me, you'd probably want the box set with all seven (or more; how are they you going to illustrate the 5th book?) books in it
