At LEGO, during the sales we increase the prices

Just a quick reminder that sometimes you have to be wary of the LEGO Shop when it comes to pricing.

The products are sold there at the public price, that is to say the theoretically highest price (except at certain scammers of the Amazon marketplace, Bricklink or eBay) at which the product is marketed.

The only way not to pay the full price at LEGO is the VIP card (free) which gives you the right to a 5% reduction in the form of a credit to spend on your future purchases.

But LEGO is doing even stronger by increasing the price of the set 10188 Death Star which goes from 399.99 € to 419.99 € as well as that of the set 10225 SCU R2-D2 which goes from 194.99 € to 199.99 €. The and 10937 Arkham Asylum Breakout went from 159.99 € to 169.99 €

I'm sure there are other sets in the LEGO Shop that have just experienced an unexpected and sometimes significant increase in their retail price, so be sure to check that LEGO hasn't concealed a small increase before you jump into it. price comparison at the different merchants.

I note, however, that the set 75014 Battle of Hoth is sold at the (relatively correct) price of 49.99 € and indicated as "Hard to find". It is therefore one of the few sets that will have to be obtained through the LEGO Shop, this type of set is generally sold much more than its retail price on the alternative channels, amazon included.

Range Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is also listed on the LEGO Shop FR. The prices are those expected, I will get the turtles on eBay or Bricklink.
