gregpj Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Visualise the original UCS snow speeder in a blinged up box with a shiny gold UCS badge and a mega price tag. Theres the the new Snowspeeder. Add a random cheese slope on each wing and voila, $100 price increase! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out of the Dark Years Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 (edited) I worry Lego is headed in the wrong direction again. The way pricing is going with so many sets around the $500+ mark and small sets skimping on parts and big markups on price it's not really a kids toy anymore is it! While I'd love the Porsche i still cant bring myself to pay $400 for it at 20% off during the Myer sale (before anyone asks yes Myer had some and they have already sold out) Edited October 1, 2016 by Out of the Dark Years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also when do the big sets come into shops normally? Like I haven't seen the disney castle, or the big ben or the new beetle anywhere. Big Ben is/was available at Myer, best get into a store this weekend and try to get or order one. I believe Davjd Jones is getting the Beetle but unsure if its exclusive to them or not and when they will get it. The Disney Castle seems to be exclusive to Lego everyone I've asked says they can't order it and if anyone is going to get it, that it will probably be a Myer or David Jones exclusive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furious_george Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 I think they have too much range available for too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furious_george Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Looks like triple VIPs for the Europeans did the trick. A lot of sets on backorder. Just checked and yeh, we still get a minifig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furious_george Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Freebys are becoming less valuable as far as I can see. U.S and E.U retailers seem to give them away or sell them for peanuts meaning overseas customers have multiples to sell and can undercut just about anyone.

ED-209 Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 40 bucks seems to be the going rate for SW Advent calendars. It'll probably just be one drop too. Last year Kmart had them for 30 bucks a pop, but not this time. Actually I haven't seen any SW advent calendars there. Perhaps they are yet to get them/put them out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furious_george Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 how do the other calendars normally fair eol? I mean city and friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
