Yeah I'm a bit rusty with that sort of thing sorry, I don't know much about the values of currency. Plus I'm terrible at math, I mean TERRIBLE. It Switzerland as you may have noticed it went from 10 USD to 25 CHF, however, this has nothing to do with currency it was just the local stores price in Meiringen. I'm going back to Switzerland tomorrow! (Think I'm flying into Lucerne first from Boston and then a train to Meiringen.

A lot of good points. Ah well, nothing we can do about it anyway. Never been to eastern Europe. Like I said before I'm Swiss, so I don't really know that much about it. I like Americans, their tourists and they are part of the reason why Switzerland isn't the terribly impoverished country it once was and is now one of the wealthiest in Europe. But yes... I feel like getting a new agents set that is 10.00 USD but it is 25,00 CHF. So while I'm in America maybe I should ship some back home.

Ohhh... but what's the price going to be? #$^#$^#^!!!!! $299??

Your forgetting that the wages and such in the U.S. are different. It's terrible going to visit my family and friends in Switzerland (I'm staying in the U.S. right now) and having to pay a days wage on a cup of coffee or a decent amount of food. The prices are fair. In Europe average people make more money than average people in the U.S. So it is fair to give half price to Americans because they make half as much. European stuff costs twice as much but they make twice as much, so It evens out. America really has the disadvantage because they have trouble spending money in Europe without running out but when Europeans come to America they get half off. It only seems a lower price, because of wages and the value of the dollar, it is nearly the same.

It makes a lot of sense, actually, because in America Lego must compete with the lower prices of copycat brands like Mega-Bloks. Making sets cheaper in america gives americans the option to buy higher quality at the same price, if they made it higher, American buyers may switch to clone brands. 7,44 EU is about 22.32 USD, more than 20 USD an hour, which is pretty generous in America.

Stickers? BAH! The good old days when there were printed bricks. But still looks like a cool set!

Hmm... yeah I'm in Baltimore right now... is the exclusive and Baltimore Comic-con too?

I Usually choose by finding which ones would make be good in a MOC, or simply which ones have more useful parts.

I guess i'd have to count... Are we counting for rising values of old old sets? Umm... well I have every johnny thunder and Indiana Jones set but Peril in Peru, so thats alot already... Then some ninja ones, Pirates, Space Police, I'm not good at math or estimating so I won't give a number.

Oooh... I like that octopus. Cool sub- I also hope TLC makes more aqua raiders.

Black Seas Barracuda and Armada Flagship for 10 francs at the local market.

Sorry, I spelled it wong- Franc- Swiss Franc, yes.

Here is my entry: "My god, Junior! Is THAT supposed to take us to Alderaan?"

HEY! That BELONGS in a museum!

My mother once lost her knitting needles and proceeded to tear apart my newly built Lego "Exploding Pyramid" to get technic pieces as new ones
