Subject says it all! Phone them now!!!


What?
Phone them now and tell them they are too expensive?

Sorry if I sound ungrateful, but as Scott points out how come they only
cost $20 in the USA, and last time I bought a 2453 (which I think is
equivalent) I only paid £12.99 (the tub still has the sticker on it)

AND I have to pay £4.95 for the privalege of them shipping it!

Thanks, but no thanks.

I will continue to buy bulk bricks at auctions, car boots etc rather
than pay Lego's inflated prices. (there. got that off my chest(

I'm Happy enough with it. Sure I'd rather it was cheaper, but its still not a bad price. I'd be interested to know whether it will filter into general sale over here, I cant see any reason why not. 'Cos I agree postage from Lego Direct is a bit (...) (23 years ago, 28-Feb-02, to lugnet.loc.uk)
