Don't hold your tongue while you say that!!

I saw that Darth Vader TIE Advanced over the weekend too. I noticed it because a lady was carrying two of it and went to have a look in the Lego aisle. I like the TIE vehicles (thanks to days of playing TIE Fighter) but still can't bring myself to buy a Lego set just yet.

I did see it also at Toyworld where it was $46 (so cheaper than K-Mart outside of the regular K-Mart sales).

I'm hoping to pick it up tomorrow. Looks very nice

guys..KMART catalogue has 20% off legos starting THURS...

I was going to confirm this but wanted to makes sure I was right first since I'd already thrown out my catalogue on trash night but the sale is actually 15% only. Saw it today when I dropped by K-Mart to grab my weekly dosage of Thins, Pringles, Skittles and Gobstoppers. The 20% is for other items like Bob the Builder and Dora.

I confirm that I got some today 15 %.... better than retail

Does anyone know why Lego Batman sets are so extortionately priced??? Looking at the price of sets on ebay and bricklink, set 7884 (Batman's Buggy: Escape of Mr Freeze) goes for $50 and upwards - why??? Its the smallest set in the range and was released just last year!! Then there's the Batmobile (no cheaper than $150 US), the Batcave for $200 and up and so on. Are they rare or is demand just significantly higher than supply?

demand just significantly higher than supply

I think that is why

I believe coz the line will be cancelled. Prolly and this is just a hunch, Lego has to share the profit for the line with the co-owners as Batman is TM under DC, so they have to pay royalties and all, as well as paying royalties to Bob Kane ( creator) and prolly if WB has a say in it, mebbe a cut as well.

Batman sets have a lot of unique and customised pieces which I would say are highly coveted since it looks like they didn't have huge production runs of batman sets.

You reckon this is extortionate, you should check out harry potter lego
