Mkay, let me refrase what I've said many times before.
There's no reason to discuss the price of a set in a review.
We can all agree that licensed sets are much more expensive than non-license sets.
We'd all love to pay nothing for LEGO, but it's not going to happen.
EB is a global site and LEGO isn't equally priced globally.
Let's stick with discussing the set itself and keep from price ranting - which is and always will end in nothing but sour faces and a lot of barfy posts.
