https://www.stonewars.de/news/lego-preiserhoehung-september-2022/ Looks like adult oriented sets are going to be hit the hardest. If a set is hit by a price increase, you can be fairly sure it's not going to retire. More than half of the sets not set to have price increases, are retiring at the end of the year. Like every other company, they got used to those "record profits" year after year, and don't want to give ground due to rising costs on their end.

IMO its absolutely inexcusable to raise prices 25% in a looming recession given the insane profits they had last year. If they were losing money i could understand but when your making hand over fist profits you gotta absorb most if not all....

Still available. I'm definitely getting one but LEGO is going to have to entice me with gifts and kind words before I pull the trigger.

Try it and let us know.

LEGO Marvel The Avengers Advent Calendar 76196 Building Kit (298 Pieces) (kohls.com) $39.99 Reg $9.99 Clearance Pickup in store only. None available in my zip code unfortunately

if it isn't sent back, you will be reimbursed within 60 days

some of my walmart clearance buys just got better. might have to get those bunny ranch (lol) minecraft sets @ $21 now.

This makes my retired sets look cheap. Bring on the bread!

meanwhile in Denmark...

Very selfish move if you ask me. Crowing about year after year of increasing profits, have only just had one price jump start of the year. Lego market themselves as a family and customer friendly focused, family run, environmental friendly and wholesome business but this action shows how they are indeed deep down yet another highly uncaring, capitalist venture not just looking for profit but to rinse out every last penny. Shouldn't be surprising as they are a business, but when it's lego just makes it a bit more depressing. Also poor timing with their horrible new instruction booklets (so even with price increases their cutting costs elsewhere by cutting on the ink costs). If they want to charge those prices they can damn well get rid of stickers from the big sets, the stupid colour choices like the continued eyesore blue pins in the fancy Technic sets (I remember when the used to use black ones!). Oh and the colour discrepancies in parts (looking at you dark red). And the crap easy to scratch new window plastics. If they want to be so premium priced they can provide a more premium product. Anyway I think rant over lol

I’m down to 1 MM and 1 Wall-e. Probably never sell them I reckon but you never know.

I can get 6 of those Domo things delivered but what the hell even is domo?🤣 Ive got some old long retired Superhero’s sets and they still stink for reselling. Should have just wiped out Wall-e and more Scooby Doo back in the day. Oh well.
