There's a stunning discrepancy I've noted, and I'm sure I'm not the only one, but yoiks, it's a doozy. 6094 Guarded Treasure: 101 pcs, $19.99 (CAD) 6095 Royal Joust: 99 pcs, $29.99 (CAD) Am I the only one here who finds this out to lunch? I've got 1 (...) (25 years ago, 23-Dec-99, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Jeez! I thought the US prices were bad. This side of the border they're US$15 and US$20, respectively. I wonder why the price for 6095 goes up so much when you go north? You'd think that the % increase would be roughly the same... J (25 years ago, 24-Dec-99, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Actually, at current exchange rates, USD 20 = CAD 29.40, and USD 15 = CAD 22.05. So actually, the Royal Joust is about equivalent, and the Guarded Treasure is cheaper. Not that it's not expensive in either country. (25 years ago, 24-Dec-99, to lugnet.castle)

What's the general consensus on the Lion head Block? Like or No Like? Personally, I don't like it. It's too pre-fab! It just doesn't look Lego. It looks too much like it belongs to some other toy company. I prefer a rendering of a lion made out of (...) (25 years ago, 25-Dec-99, to lugnet.castle)
