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!

		Re: Official LEGO storage boxes? For more than a hundred bucks each?!
(...) Well, from what I understand, the materials are made of pine (softwood...As an amateur woodworker, I like hardwoods much better), and I agree, the prices are a bit high, but there's still probably a bit of cost there. Wood is not cheap, even (...) (17 years ago, 17-Jul-07, to lugnet.storage)

(...) These are all (URL) on clearance now at S@H>. The stacking bin is sold out, but the others are all deeply discounted. Marc Nelson Jr. (16 years ago, 4-Dec-07, to lugnet.storage, lugnet.market.shopping, FTX)
