Thx whitefang for the excellent review as always. I like some of the figs. But the most that annoys me is the distribution of the Hot Dog Guy, only 3 of the??? Come on Lego does everything needs to be rare and highly sought after to yield an enormous aftermarket price?

This topic just popped up and I couldn't resist to write my 2 ct. Lego pricing within the US market is just ridicules compared to the rest of the world. I know that lots of factors are counting into it, bla bla bla. We know for example in the Yemen gas is horrible cheap but people starve to death there and merely have no life - this is a different economy and so market! To me there is no big difference between the European market and the US market at all, it is about the same. People here in Europe are just used to pay more for Lego, that is the only reason and as long as they keep buying prices WILL NOT drop. Maybe in a few years we might see a free trade agreement between the EU and the US, then the only cost to be added are shipping costs - by then we will see where prices are heading. BUT it is getting (in tiny tiny steps) better lately with the prices between EU and US. Though discounts from big retailers like Amazon, Walmart, Toys r Us,.... are way way better than everything we face here on EU soil.
