Can I complain about prices when compairing to the same region? Like for no reason a set here in Hawaii is now (and different stores are this high. I'm using TRU but even WalMart just changed their pricing higher) is $8-15 higher than that on the mainland? An example is like the C.Dooku Solar Sailer set. When my TRU gets it, it'll be $67.99. The same set on the mainland TRU it's $59.99. TRU said it's due to shipping to Hawaii. Well, that would be true about 5 months ago when gas was @$4.80 for regular. Now its down to $2.70. So it's not due to shipping cost. That kind of price markup is like if I ordered it online from Lego.com. But I'm sure when they order multiple boxs and load it on a Matson container, it'll be like ALOT less than that.
I understand price between here in other regions will be different so I can see your point. But $17 markup is a bit high. And when the LEGO RC racer is $45.99 here and on the mainland it's $41.00. Ok, so wheres the increased "shipping" on that?
Ok. I'll stop. But you can see why I would rant. :)
