IMO, no. Most of the increase in parts goes to the display stand anyway, right? and can it really cost $20 more to manufacture probably less than (help me out here) 2 dozen chrome parts? No lego is simply asking more cause they know psychopaths like (...) (22 years ago, 20-Jun-02, to lugnet.starwars)
