I mean everything is going up in price, this is just another bad news about this thing, anyway I think +35% in the case of some sets is too much.
Apparently they say that they have been holding prices for some time during the pandemic, so it is not only due to inflation, but rather to a cumulative effect of these 2-3 years.
Nah it's just untrue, I think it's crazy what they have done, there are already some updated prices
I agree that in some cases it is quite exorbitant.
RIP Star Wars 🪦🥲
They can say what they want, but LEGO has never been a cheap product, obviously if they "held" the prices is because they could easily afford it, this is simply to adjust their bulky profit margins, if it was for the reason they say they would have raised them at least 6 months ago.
But well, no surprise really, in the end this is business... the AFOLs without a doubt the most affected, because coincidentally all these increases are aimed at the +18 sets, which are also growing steadily.
Yeah buddy, unfortunately in Star Wars not even the cheap sets have avoided price increases....
I agree 100%, it is simply that. And as you say the worst thing is that the +18 line is the most affected, anyway we will see how this affects the new releases (of all the themes), it makes me shudder to think about the releases of next year... 🥶
Diagon Alley now at $449.99 😭
I think it would be great with these price increases that we compile in a new discussion the best stores to buy lego at decent prices
I second this! I will try to compile some sites and make a post about it.
Same here, I had been looking at the price in various retailers for a while to see if I could find a deal,, I didn't remember the price increases... 🤦♂️
I would love to see that, looking forward to it!
They said they were holding prices? I can't take that joke, here's news about how bad they are having it (https://www.lego.com/es-es/aboutus/news/2022/august/the-lego-group-invests-us-500-million-to-expand-factory-in-monterrey-mexico), $US500 million investment for the 33,850 m² expansion of the Monterrey, Mexico factory... I better not say what I think...
I'm on it, here is the post in progress (https://brickrr.com/d/491-cheap-lego-retailers-lets-fight-the-price-hike)
