(...) Look at Rench from the Space Police III series to see the original Blacktron torso with the Blacktron II "Super-B" logo tacked on. (...) On a mummy? No. As stated, Boba Fett from the Cloud City playset is the first standard minifig to receive (...) (14 years ago, 30-Dec-10, to lugnet.general)

Don't even think of sweating your 2.99 price. It was 2.99 here in Canada (where uSD/CAD are almost par!!!!) for the first 2 series, and will hit 3.49 for series 4. So you can stop your whining, unless you live north of the Canada/USA border! he he, (...) (14 years ago, 29-Dec-10, to lugnet.general)

(...) True the $1.99 was a much better rate for the US. I realize Lego is a corporate and naturally they need to make a profit -- and more importantly maximize it. But in the 21st century, they may need to factor in ubiquity of information and how (...) (14 years ago, 29-Dec-10, to lugnet.general)

(...) Yep-- I think they started this in 2004 with 10123 Cloud City. As I recall, Boba Fett's arms had some printing on them in that set. However, one thing I noticed that they're doing that's new is sometimes printing on the SIDES of the minifigs' (...) (14 years ago, 27-Dec-10, to lugnet.general)

just noticing some interesting (great-attention-to) details on some of the series three (#8803) figs: gorilla guy - there's a zipper painted on the back of the torso cyborg - there's a blacktron ii 'b' emblem on his chest mummy - arm prints (...) (14 years ago, 27-Dec-10, to lugnet.general)

(...) Yeah, I forgot the VAT, sorry, but my comment was to the $1.99 - we paid 25 SEK for that series. The VAT is 25% on the net price, so 20% of the total. That means 20 SEK before VAT. With todays exhange rate that's $2.92 compared to your initial (...) (14 years ago, 26-Dec-10, to lugnet.general)

(...) *pulls out well-worn soap box* Okay, here's how it works. TLC has internal costs, and they have to make sure that they cover those costs and make a profit beyond that when they sell their products, so they have a wholesale pricepoint in mind (...) (14 years ago, 26-Dec-10, to lugnet.general)
