Most of them were cheaper than the equivalent Star Wars models.

Having mulled over this for a couple of days, it occurred to me that Star
Wars models may be inherently more expensive than Adventurers etc, because
Star Wars Lego will involve a license fee to George Lucas (or whoever) while
non-licensed themes won't.

If this is correct, then sets like Winnie The Pooh and Mickey Mouse should
be more expensive than similar non-licensed theme sets for the same age
group.

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!
