I was in Jenner's today (very well known Edinburgh dept. store - if you've
ever been shopping in Edinburgh you'll have been there). Normally there
stuff is pound or so over the RRP (eg they have the X-wing still at £29.95
and the 4561 for a mighty £115). I browsed a little. I found the 8448 for a
huge £109! Is this a record? Will anyone ever buy it? Is Jenner's the most
overpriced Lego store in the UK, or perhaps even Europe?
All this got me thinking that perhaps we should have a hall of shame for the
worst high street Lego dealers (excluding the small guys who only stock a
couple of sets at Xmas time.). With this in mind, I nominate Jenner's for
the "Brick of Shame".
Any other contenders?
