It's weird how much they overcharge even for the small dinosaur. Looking over the original JW wave they are all were pretty reasonably priced despite the dinos, in the UK the big set with the indominus was under the 10p per piece thing. Exactly like the General Previous thing where they weren't treated as super specialised pieces that cost extra but with both when they were reintroduced in 2018 they decided to charge way more for them going forward

You are complaining this: 160 > 170 for example. What is the whole point. Overpriced how? Compared to Marvel vaste or Star Wars. (Only grey colors and same models year after year).

Ignoring the price increase, they were already overpriced.

This.

It wouldn't be such a huge deal if, say, the Spinosaurus & Quetzalcoatlus set was $100 in the first place and then they increased it to $110. Fair enough, still a good deal—but if they increase a ridiculous price of $150 to an even more ridiculous price of $160, then it's a much bigger deal, because we're straying further and further away from fair prices.

Why do you buy Star Wars, Superhero, Jurassic World sets if they are overpriced. LEGO has always been an expensive toy. In the past it has been even more expensive. TLG own theme prices are ok. CITY, Dreamzzz, Friends, Technic... for example.

Because I like Star Wars, DC, Marvel, and Jurassic World? Ridiculous question.

No it hasn't.

Yes it has.

You can want lot of things. Children are like that but adults understand that you need money. A lot of money. Working or some other way. LEGO has always been an expensive product. Mainly for families who have children.

I really hope this is rage bait and not an actual opinion that LEGO used to be more expensive and now uses fair prices. I'm still going to buy the sets I like, but in no way does that mean I think the prices are justified, I'll still think they are overpriced.

Were you not just saying how Lego JW is not overpriced?

I have no intentions. O buy all Jurassic World sets myself - I don’t care about minifigures or builds (except for 18= T-rex fossil set, I only love collecting molded creatures.  Buying dinosaurs in secondary market like Bricklink or eBay might be expensive but it is quite cheaper than buying the actual sets.  I will aim for Spinosaurus, Titanosaurus, Aquiltops, new Velicorratpor and recolored Quzatecaotlus. 

Business is not my best lanauge but i think licensed themes are expsnive becuase of line se fees. On other hand,  in-house themes are still expensive.

Expensive toy.

160 > 170 does not make big difference.

You have possibility to collect for example Dreamzzz sets. Jurassic World is licensed theme. Whole wave costs 400 euros or is even more?

Pointing out that the wave will cost over 400 dollars does not back up your point of it not being over priced.

People defending the price increase is crazy it just makes Lego more greedy. At the end of the day Lego suppose to be a kids toy and its the adult fans that are responsible for most of the price increase from the looks of it. Lego just became too big of a name and like all big name corporates they are not your friends so trying to justify their evil practices is beyond stupid.

So you are saying that big companies are evil?

Maybe they just did a lot of things right and hard work for years. Price increase are in USA. Europe prices are a bit lower.

Nobody's saying theyre evil. However, large corporations, like Lego, only have 1 goal which is to maximise profits.

This has been resolved. Now those who really want Jurassic sets, gets them. Hardcore fans. I'm Transformers fan. So Jurassic I only go to movies. Even I have some of the previous sets.

You never proved your point. It's completely unjustified.

You know, when it comes to turtle (now known as imposter) it's usually best not to engage him when he's producing his nonsense, ragebait takes.

Forgot about that rule before, but we can frankly move on to discuss... well, anything else.

Agreed. 

To be frank, I was surprised there is no Galimimus this year.  Last time it was seen is in 2020. It’s 5 years so I wonder if Lego will destory Galimimus mold after 5 years? And Same for Ankylosaurus?

I kinda want a new mold on the atrociraptor body like the Lego JW game.
