I don't recall Winnie the Pooh Duplo being more expensive than other
simiar sized Duplo sets, in fact I think I was surprised that the largest set
was quite a bit cheaper than I had expected. Am going from memory though,
not at home to check. Though it has just occurred to me that WTP Duplo
had a lot of competition with non Lego brand toys in that theme. I'm not a
SW fan so I don't know what sort of competition Lego had/has there.
Overall, Lego definitely seems to be getting cheaper here, I hope it lasts!
