Just2good confirmed that licensed themes don't cost more because of licensing fees, but cause Lego wants to make more profit on those themes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Woah woah hey, I didn't confirm the second part. I'm studying which are more expensive PPP and such, LEGO City and licensed sets of recent years, and it's LEGO City. But that's why I said that. Either way, this is not the place to discuss this, so we'll drop it here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

( I really was expecting something 25$ more expensive ) I don't want to get into it in a big way... but even taking after sales tax into consideration this seems really cheap! especially in comparison to the UK where it's £65!

Chief Togusa Posted February 2, 2017 (edited) The UCS MMF will very likely get the rough leak/announcement timing that Disney Castle had last year - aka same release slot Edited February 2, 2017 by Chief Togusa Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Transformation Chamber will be 29.99 EUR, my absolute favorite with great play features! Are you saying you saw the Episode VIII sets that the whole world will have to wait ages to see...but you still like the Darth Vader set from Episode III more? :P Seriously though, Vader and Palpatine in a 30€ set is amazing already, plus the build and the burnt Vader fig...

But my question is were the other summer sets(rathtar attack, bounty hunters, etc.) in the secret room? Or out for the public meaning we may get some set descriptions or pictures even! And Vader's transformation is awesome can't wait for it too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

benderisgreat Posted February 2, 2017 Thanks for bringing us great news Sir Von Lego! So there's now reason to get Advent Calendar, yay! Given the fact you can't answer questions about Ep8 , did summer wave look good to you? Any set besides Vader transformation stood out? And any hints at summer sets prices?

VaderFan2187 Posted February 2, 2017 I thought he didn't see the EP VIII sets? Because he said he saw that they were in the Never-Go-In room, NOT that he saw them IN the Never-Go-In room. But wow, Sabine in the Advent Calendar? Seems like the only good thing so far Bear in mind the minifigures are preliminary though. They may change. Thanks for the news @Sir von Lego!
