marcandre Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Same price as 2000 piece pet shop? Wow. First the $90 service station now this? City theme is getting massively overpriced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil B Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Hey, think about all the plastic that goes into those BURPs and LURPs.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadfraggle Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Ridonculous price point! I understand that as time goes on, there is going to be some natural price creep with LEGO sets, but it seems like almost every new release I'm a bit underwhelmed at what I'm getting for the price.

jay4e Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 really comparing to other large city sets (arctic bc, mine, deep see boat, shuttle, demo site), the ppp is fair. I think the real problem is the pictures do not make it look like a $150, 1277 piece set. especially since we have seen so many $40-50 helicopter sets recently (including 60123).... it looks too much like all the other sets in the pictures to stand out as a $150, but if you really look it much larger and more detailed than the other sets. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that I look, you're certainly right. At 1277 pieces, this is bigger than everything but the city square. I guess the RRP is fair. Honestly I wouldn't know it had 1277 pieces though if I didn't do the research. Also, as you were saying, it's the 2nd helicopter set in this series alone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soon every city set will include a helicopter they even got one into the going under water line the only part of city not to have one is space. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codes Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I kind of like this helicopter! But, at $179.99 CAD, I'm not so sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KvHulk Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 The Volcano Exploration Base @ $119.99 for 824 pieces looks like a better set... yet it's almost .15/per brick compared to .12/per brick of the Helicopter. I'll be waiting for clearance prices next year... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
