That's really odd.  Must be how it is in Canada.  I would suggest then buying from people on bricklink or somewhere else.  You might be able to find a deal with shipping that is cheaper.]]></content>

If the Ranger sets train was powered I could accept the price but no.
And holding I agree with the Palpatine set. 
Still in no rush to get it even with the Jedi masters.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Carousel: Alright no worries, thanks for your reply.

And Holdingourown, I do agree with you, if I was to get the Palpatine's arrest, which I probably won't but if I did it would be to collect the Jedi's and Palpatine himself, otherwise the set really is a rip off the Hulk Helicarrier I mean just look at this comparison come on! I'd use the parts, as there some nice parts but for the price, it's hard to want it.

Heres the photos of the 2.
[b]Palpatine's Arrest[/b]

[b]Hulk Helicarrier[/b]
[url]http://www.mightyape.com.au/product/LEGO-Super-Heroes-Hulks-Helicarrier-Breakout-6868/19757414/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=product-search&utm_campaign=mightyape&gclid=CMDzgZGtyLcCFYQhpQod6GYA5g[/url]

The Hulk helicarrier also has a ship as the other one, however the set is much smaller, and less attractive as the other, with also less minifigs, they prove similar in some aspect of design.

Possibly as stated, by the same person, however I don't know if a person can design for 2 different themes? Unless Lego owns the right to the licenses and has approved it. Don't quote me on it.

[quote]I have never seen a Lego Star Wars set grossly as this set[/quote]
What about Jabbas Palace just name one, of many? Which I remember at one stage it was $240! It is now going for 
$189 when they put it on special it will go down as far as $169 Its unbelievable a big rip off. I own the Jabbas palace, but got it really cheap, and honestly, its nothing special at all, I only use it for parts. And the $240 was also the older Jabba palace not the newer one, not that it makes a big difference.
and several of the medium sized starwars ship go to an overpriced amount of over $100.. I have seen it and think its outrageous.

Poor kids these days..I seen it alot of times were parents just say NO its to much, or buy a smaller set. 

I actually also seen some parents who buy their kids a few big sets, probably the exception of them being rich, and overly spoiled I cant seem to think of another explanation unless their buying it for some kids birthday, in that case what a lucky special kid, anyhow lucky kids.

And I agree with you, we should get bang for our buck, being 300 and something pieces apart, the lone ranger set should far be cheaper, for having that much pieces less than the other set, these days no one really thinks about the customers, but rather on themselves and the money.]]></content>

90% of your problem lies right there. 

[url=http://www.dailyfinance.com/2011/08/24/why-are-legos-so-expensive/]And please read this,[/url] [url=http://therealityprose.wordpress.com/2013/01/17/what_happened_with_lego/]and this.[/url]

Different sets have different costs. The raw parts count is not the only consideration, there's the type of parts, the number and detailing on the minifigures, and then the retailer's own price adjusting. The Train set is supposed to be $10USD cheaper down here, so the inflation is probably just TRU getting even more greedy. 

Try ordering straight from Lego, or some other dealer with the true retail price.]]></content>
