The Monster Book of Monsters scores an A- on resale while bottoming out on almost everything else — this polybag is basically a collectible in disguise.

Holds its value?A-A- appreciation is no joke for a polybag this small — the secondary market likes it.
The Full Take
Harry Potter polybags tend to live and die by the minifig, and this one delivers on that front with a Hagrid that fans of the franchise will recognize immediately. The build itself is the weak link — 320 pieces sounds promising until you realize the Monster Book lands thin on playability and shelf drama. Display collectors will feel the gap between the IP's charm and what actually shows up on the shelf. Parents looking for a gift with lasting play value will find this one runs out of steam fast. Where this polybag earns real attention is the secondary market: an A- appreciation score puts it in rare company for a set this size. The gap between how it performs as a toy and how it performs as a collectible is genuinely wide — buy it knowing which side of that line you're on.
