Meesa lost CM ;-) If 699=100$, how come 599=50$ ?? Are Swedish prices more expensive ?? Because I doubt that the Rep Cruiser to be more expensive than the ISD ;-) The ISD was 149.99
April 16, 200717 yr Well, not exactly topic related but there was an article in newsweek earlier this month on lego. It's quite informative as to how they view their market. The european market they think is matured as they have saturated the market with their products (about 13% of toys sold each year is a lego). The US is only about 3-5%. So they feel the us market is still able to absorb a lot more lego. This may be why the prices in the us is cheaper than the EU. Most likely they feel the EU market is matured so it's time to start milking the cash cow. While the us market is still in growth stage so it would be best to price more competitively to build market share. :-P Anyway, sucks to be EU. ;-)

So they feel the us market is still able to absorb a lot more lego.Anyway, sucks to be EU. ;-) That explains why Europe is screwed with the golden C3PO ;-) Lets not forget regarding prices that there are loads of aspects why its cheaper in the US (VTA, taxes on labour...) so yes for buyng cheap Lego it do sucks to be EU ;-) *yoda*
April 17, 200717 yr Author Thankz for all the replies, but anyway $50 for the tie crawler is way overpriced. Sometime ago I called Lego asking if they sell the minifigs only without the set and if so how much do they cost.Their response was "Due to the strict liscensing with Lucas arts we can not sell them individually" and the price for creating a minifig I think was $5 each. Anyway it must be all those technic link treads and the new figures X-D . :'-( $100 for Switzerland!! and I'm complaining :-D
April 17, 200717 yr Wooie, they better add something inside that cockpit!!! Fortunately, we have Bricklink to get individual figs, but these babies are going to be over priced...Oh No!
