4 in Sydney today. I’m surprised they sell at that price.


Perhaps the average Aussie Lego consumer has a better appreciation of Lego than you give them credit for.

No, I think I gave them too much credit for appreciating the retail pricing of Lego sets.

   If I could pay AU19c each for a parts selection that good in every set, I’d buy every set!

I wouldn’t pay 19cpp if I had a reasonable expectation of being able to pay 17cpp for the same parts in the near future.

I don’t recall many lego sets in recent years which haven’t been discounted from their original retail price. 20% off would be the minimum discount expected. And large sets often attract a better discount.

Those sets which haven’t been discounted from the original Australian retail price (eg Black Seas Barracuda release, those bonus tubs), started at a price far, far lower than 19cpp.

Of course, if I do wait for a discount, I could miss out, but that hasn’t happened very often at all. (And certainly far, far less than the 1 in 5 chance which can be justified by 20% off!).

Cheers

(...) Dude, you still don't get it. It's an excellent set, they want/need it now and they've got better things to do than arse around checking the toy store every two weeks.
