Are there any discounts for merch/HP robes?

Considering ordering the official robe for my daughter, she needs it before our trip for school Halloween and then on the trip. I bought a super cheap one but not surprisingly it looks pretty bad.
I am either going to sew my own or buy a better one....are there any discounts online? Do they ever have sales?

The ones at Universal are really great quality. I get emails from wbshop.com, and the ones listed as "replica" robes look like they are similar in quality.

Thanks! I just can't do $110 for a robe. I want to, but....the whole universal day is over my planned budget. There's only so far I can take it

Do try on ebay. I got one for my DD - new unused for equivalent of $40 including postage. It wasn't listed as official but the sizing/measurements matched the official one and it looked official and was when it came. I checked it against the ones at the Harry potter studios tour one in London when we went last month.

That said my DD wore a cheap target one in the parks last year and I thought it was a better option in the heat but no doubt she will want to wear the official one this October.
