(...) Martin Long got me one from Milton Keynes in the UK last week. The UK price was £50, which compares very well with the US price - makes a pleasant change.

(...) There are indeed some pricing idiosyncracies. However, a few of these work to the advantage of the consumer. For example, large spruce trees are now cheaper (10 for $6.40) than the bulk bag (10 for $6.99). The same is true for train rails (8 (...) (18 years ago, 13-Oct-06, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) This pricing system is a bit of a rip-off, if you think about the number of the same bricks that could be stuffed into those Lego cups. As BrickLink puts prices on some of these items to shame! :-) (18 years ago, 9-Oct-06, to lugnet.market.shopping)

I wonder how many kids are going to make the mistake of mixing "earth blue" with "bright blue". My heart skipped a beat momentarily with the "2x2 outside corner" bricks, only to be let down... they're DARK BLUE. It's not as though TLG has an entire (...)
