Que Lastima...

Seems the different stores have totally different policies regarding Legos.
Sets begin at more or less similar prices in all stores, but as they become
older, some lower certain prices in order to get rid of the sets. But for some
reason or another pirate ships have never been put on sale in any of the
stores (El Mundo del Juguete, El Pais de las Maravillas, Apioverde). In any
case, whether on sale or not, prices are high. A friend of mine used to work
for Lego Argentina and he told me suggested retail prices were almost half of
what actual prices were :(
The pirate ships I mention (EL Pais de las Maravillas de Galerias Pacifico)
have remained untouched for more than 2 years! I've waited but they still are
at stupidly high prices.

Si, una lastima.... Donde vivis? Crei que era el unico Legofilo de Argentina!

Regards
