| (...) 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)

| | | | | Carved Lion Head Block?
|
| 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)

| (...) hey, bill ~ i saw my first y2k sets yesterday, including a couple with this lion-head element. i thought it was cool-looking, but would look MUCH better on a body as mini-fig lion! as a decorative element, it is really out of place in a lego (...) (25 years ago, 25-Dec-99, to lugnet.castle)
| | | | | King Leo's Castle 6091: Worth $90
|
| I found King Leo's Castle at my nearest Target. It looks awesome, but unfortunately, I was unable to buy it as the price was a little high for me (I'll just have to save up : ) ). I might comment, though, that I believe the set to be worth 90 bucks, (...) (25 years ago, 25-Dec-99, to lugnet.castle)
| | | | | Re: Holy over-priced, Batman!
|
| 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 (...) (25 years ago, 25-Dec-99, to lugnet.castle)
