I think other shops and sites would boycott Lego if they started to get
undercut by the supplier you simply cant afford to do it

Definitely true - Lego can't really sell items for less than the shops would
(Although the S@H exclusives are cheaper than they would be sold for in the
shops (Guarded inn for £17.99?)

But the items in question in this thread are exclusive to shop at home.
Sorry to labour the point
But there isnt another retailer for them to worry about price wise.

You could actually invert this arguement, and ask isnt it already putting them into conflict with retailers by having
shop at home exclusives?

If I were a retailer I might ask why Lego seem to be driving their customers to shop at home with exclusives that are
not available to them, which then tempts the customer to buy other stuff from shop at home whilst they are there.



    I wish they would drop the P&P fee though...

Yes.
and offer a bulk discount
