(...) 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)

(...) I had to reply, since it looks like $3.52 works out to be cheaper. If I account for VAT (25% for Sweden?) you get $2.82. In the case of US prices, without tax it is $2.99. I agree the math does not work for all Lego sets. But that maybe a (...) (14 years ago, 25-Dec-10, to lugnet.general)

(...) Maybe they want to have the US price a bit closer to what we pay here at the right side of the pond - $3.52 at todays exchange rate (25 SEK). (14 years ago, 24-Dec-10, to lugnet.general)

(...) While the plastic on the series 3 looks the same as S1 and S2, I can say that so far, S3 clutch power of feet to baseplate is much better than S1 and S2. Just my observation. Chris (14 years ago, 23-Dec-10, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) If it means that they're going to start using the regular LEGO plastic to make the MF's, then I'm fine with it. If not, then it looks like they just got a case of The Greedies. My local Meijer store had Series 3 for $1.99, so the MSRP didn't (...) (14 years ago, 23-Dec-10, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping)
