Although I realize that there are very few people here who find the MF even a
little desirable (TLC's take on it, at least), did anyone really expect it to
retail for much less than $100? Also, take into account the fact that these
prices could be S@H as opposed to MSRP and you're figuring an extra 10% (which
is pretty much the usual amount that Lego S@H runs over regular retail price).
I was pretty much expecting the MF to run $80-$100, given the fact that the
most expensive 2000 SW set at this point (outside of the Technic Droids) was
the B-wing at $30. Based on TLC's usual habit of ranging a particular theme's
set prices from anywhere in the $3-$5 range all the way up to the $80-$100
range, I was expecting big price tags for the MF, ATT, and MTT. As some one
else mentioned, the fact that the ATT is only $20 kind of surprises me. I
would've expected this one to go for another $10, personally.
Actually, the one thing that does surprise me about these prices is the $150
price tag attached to the UCS X-wing. The last set I bought with an MSRP of
$150 was the Technic space shuttle (8480?) and that set was unbelievable. As
much as I'm looking forward to the UCS (especially the X-wing, I don't see how
they're going to live up to that.
Anyway . . . just my $.02.
