Has anyone else noticed the price increases on the Lego website? It seems like overnight many sets have increased as much as 50%! Does anyone know why this is? Helms deep for $199!!? Gandalf for $22? This seems excessive.

Must have been a momentary glitch or something because those sets are their normal price right now.

I bring you this gem from a couple of years ago:

IOW, I think it's a glitch.

The prices are still wrong for me. I wonder if I would get charged those insane prices.

Have you selected the wrong region and getting another country's prices?

That looks like the problem. I went to S@H and got those two prices when I changed my region to Australia.

Prices are showing normal for me too. I think the Australian version is what you are looking at, which can be confusing since they also use the dollar sign. Check the URL. Assuming you are in the US, it should be shop.lego.com/en-US, but it may be shop.lego.com/en-AU instead.

Yep that did it. I don't know why my iPhone took me th AU site.

...those insane prices.

Also known as "The prices that the rest of the world pays for LEGO"

In my S@H, Helm's Deep currently costs the equivalent of US$ 262,00.

EDIT: I just had to. I don't intend to start another price difference discussion!
