Lego "Sale"

[leafan]

So according to this article, Lego have announced some upcoming "Black Friday" sales, as below:

• Thursday: 30% off App-Controlled Batmobile
• Friday: 30% off Mini Cooper
• Saturday: 30% off Arctic Mobile Exploration Base
• Sunday: 30% off Mack Anthem
• Monday: 30% off Heartlake City Resort

I'm focussing more on the Arctic Mobile Exploration Base because it's most of interest to me. Set 60195 is £84.99 on the Lego website. So take away 30% in the "sale" and it'll go for around £59.49, which works out to £0.07 price to part ratio for it's 786 components.

7p is around average and I'd hardly consider it a sale, but if you want this set badly then it's already £59.99 on Amazon, marked down from it's regular price there of £64.98.

So if you're thinking of buying this because of a "sale", I'd consider waiting. I suspect that the City Arctic sets will be heavily discounted soon enough.

I do want to end this thread on a positive note though and say that I really enjoy these Arctic sets. Such a unique colour scheme; it reminds me of Ice Planet 2002 in that way.

Happy shopping.

yes I saw this too and thought to myself, that App-Controlled Batmobile really is not selling well!
