|
| | | 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)

| | | | | | | Crap! This sure doesn't bode well for a man of limited means like myself. Then again, I am getting a job soon. I'm gonna need to if I want King Leo's Castle... Anybody know how much that thing is (in U.S. currency)? Mike (...) (25 years ago, 24-Dec-99, to lugnet.castle)

| | | | | | | | (...) Howdy! US Price of King Leo's Castle. It was $89.99 at Toys R Us. Considering how poorly it was packed and how few pieces it has, I was shocked. The lack of a window box means that LEGO must be embarased by the pieces chosen for it. And it (...) (25 years ago, 24-Dec-99, to lugnet.castle)

| | | | Yeah, there seem to be other discrepancies, too. At my local Sears, the only place so far to stock most of the 2000 Lego, I found this odd comparison: 7124 Flash Speeder: 105 pcs, $19.99 CAD 7115 Gungan Patrol: 77 pcs, $29.99 CAD Yikes, no wonder (...)

| | | | That has to be a marking mistake... the Gungan Patrol is only 9.99 at TRU in the states. that's a big booboo if you ask me :( I'd bring it to their attention and let them know they aren't going to sell at that price, and they should check their (...)
