You may recall the AFOL History Project that Jason Whittenburg posted some years ago: (URL) was quite interested in the project when it debuted-- every once in a while I'd jump back to it hoping to see more history fill it up. But that only lasted (...) (14 years ago, 6-Jan-11, to lugnet.general) !

(...) I hate to point this out.... but its called a price adjustment. If there is a high demand for a certain product, why wouldn't the company increase the price... sure its a case of the "greedies" but they aren't a charity case. You have (...) (14 years ago, 2-Jan-11, 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)

(...) 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)

(...) 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)

(...) 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)
