Anyone see the new “LEGO Furniture” items being sold now in the online
catalog?
A storage box in red, yellow, blue, or green, slightly larger than two feet
deep by 1.5 feet wide by one foot high... for a hundred twenty dollars!!
And a stacking bin in green or red, one foot tall by one foot deep by three
feet high - for a HUNDRED FIFTY dollars!!
I could understand these at a tenth of the price; I might buy storage boxes
for $12 each and stacking bins for $15 each - but am I the only one who
thinks that the LEGO prices for these are *insane*?!
And, there’s a table that’s 2’ by 4’ by a foot and a half high - for two
hundred dollars!! I could make something like that out of less than ten
dollars of wood... it doesn’t even have baseplates on its surface!

These are all on
clearance now at S@H. The stacking bin is sold out, but the others are all
deeply discounted.

This is a bit of an old thread, but I thought I’d add one more thought here: I
ordered two of the toy boxes ($30 each, discounted from $150 each) during the
recent clearance sale, and they arrived yesterday. The most remarkable thing
about them to me is how much the boxes weigh (I’m estimating 40lbs each). The
shipping cost must be astronomical! Perhaps the initial LEGO pricing scheme was
designed to help recover the added cost of shipping. The boxes look nice, but
the whole “LEGO Furniture” concept sure seems like a marketing faux pas by
someone at the LEGO Company.
