What set should I buy?

[JintaiZ]

My wallet just recovered after buying LEGO sets. Should I buy the 10261 Rollercoaster or the 71043 Hogwarts Castle?

The Castle is indeed better value, but I think coaster will have more playability.

Any thoughts? Comment below!

Buy what you like the most. That roller coaster is a lot of fun. Everybody likes it, young and old. Don't tell my husband I bought a second one so I can MOD it with a couple loops.

Which one appeals more to you? Some people like Star Wars or other franchises, some people like trains, some people enjoy large technic sets, some people enjoy expert sets, etc.
As someone who is interested in roller coasters from playing games like Roller Coaster Tycoon 3, the roller coaster set looks cool but I just can't see myself buying it for nearly $400. The build looks repetitive and I would want something based off a real coaster, even if it was just a generic wild mouse. Even at 4 thousand pieces, something about it feels too simple. (As someone who played with a lot of Technic, the supports look like they could be achieved with 1/5 the pieces.)

Well, I personally love the coaster more, but feel cheated they're asking $380 for it. It should be $300.
