			<description><![CDATA[I've said it before, but I'll say it again. The price of LEGO has trended upward in recent years, but it's still lower than it has been in the past. Any time I pick up an old catalog from the 90s, I'm always slightly shocked to see the price (not to mention the less sophisticated sets).]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Has LEGO got inflated? God yes it has. I've been collecting for probably 8-9 *or whatever* years and the impulse sets which I pretty much mostly get £3 to £4? And I got Bionicle for years, that proce went up AND up. I don't even get Hero Factory, too expensive for my liking. Even the Collectable Lego Minifigures. If released a few years ago, I would have said £1 maybe £1.50. :/]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Don't buy at TRU, they inflate the already high prices.
Amazon.com is the best place to get Lego, unless you can find it on-sale. But even then, the sale may not make up for the higher price plus tax.

For example: 
[url=http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11815468&prodFindSrc=prodCrossSell]TRU=$74.99+tax (+shipping if from online.)[/url]
[url=http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Darth-Maul-s-Sith-Infiltrator-7961?p=7961]Lego.com=$69.99+tax (This is the average price in stores, but add shipping if from online.)[/url] 
[url=http://www.amazon.com/LEGO-Star-Darth-Mauls-Infiltrator/dp/B004P95A9S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1335051763&sr=8-1]Amazon=$64.23+no tax+no shipping.[/url]

So even if you get $15 off the TRU price via a sale, it's still not lower thanks to taxes.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The people in the US are extremely lucky when it comes to the price they have to pay, here in Australia... it's a different story. :mad: Let's take the Catwoman Catcycle City Chase, here (Australia) it costs $24.99, yet in the US it is ridiculously cheaper at $12.99. This happens while the Australian dollar is STRONGER (and has been for at least half a year) than the US dollar. It's plain discrimination, as GGSStudios points out, even in the country of which Lego originates, is quite overpriced. Lego is made in Hungary, Czech Republic, Germany, Denmark... and China, besides China, all those countries are in quite close proximity to each other, yet the prices in Europe are still huge compared to the US. I've never bought any modular buildings, because, quite frankly, I am outraged at how unfairly priced they are (US$149.99 vs AU$249.99, come on Lego) compared to the states. Lego will be receiving a lengthily letter from me. I only buy Lego when it's on sale. Why aren't there any official physical Lego stores in Australia, yet in the US, they are opening up 10 more stores!! *Must calm down*]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The LEGO prices in Denmark ar silly aswell, the minifigs for example cost 20 kroner (About 5 Dollars) for 11 Pieces!, That's 50 cents per piece! And those pieces are pretty small aswell. And as far as i can see, the plastic is a different kind, propably a cheaper one. And Playmobil(You'll propably all go Ape**** but please just stay for a moment) A minifig cost 5 dollars too, but then you also get bunch of other pieces and they're bigger, IE: A Playmobil Figure, with 5 rifles, and rag for the rifles, and a little table with paper and a pen, costs 5 Dollars, a lego Minifig with ONE bone costs the same. I know Playmobil doesn't match up the quality but that's just a CRAZY price difference!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Some of the sets nowadays (can't point out specific ones) are [b]waaaaay[/b] overpriced.  Older sets had far more pieces, minifigures and functions than the pitiful excuses LEGO churns out today.  That's why I rarely buy LEGO anymore, I already have enough to create almost any set or character for any brickfilm idea I get.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[It doesn't help that the dollar itself has inflated significantly since the early 1990s. So while LEGO may seem more expensive than ever, it's actually about the same, and it's just requiring more dollar bills to reach the same value. As for other currencies (i.e. Krone, Euro, Yen, etc.), the story may be completely different.]]></description>
